Silence concerning the governors
side had been maintained until the
present because the grand jury Of
Travis county was in session and
conducting an investigation, the for
mer governor said. Now that the
American Road company court case
had been settled and the grand jury
had adjourned without returning an
indictment so far as any state officer
was concerned, he felt free to talk.

has FLASHED frequently with the Fer
gusons, was charged with entering
into a private agreement with the
road company. by Ferguson. He stat
ed that the American Road company
was permitted to go "scot free with
a net profit of 100000; that the
state lost 100000 through the agree
ment and with the approval of the
court and charged that if the highway
commission had been let alone the
American Road company's profits
would have not exceeded % per cent.
