Kelly's remaining and I said no. We sat down and talked at table and I told Mayor Hayes that had been assigned to the in- vestigation and I wanted to talk with him relative to the matter and I asked him if I could have a copy of the auditors report that had been made for the first Il months of 1887. He told me that could get one at the tax commissioners office in Hartford. He thought that he had one available. And in reply to my question said that the audi- tors were the George H. Kingsley firm and he said he would lock for the auditors report and he stated that he could not say as to why the audit had been made for the il months. I then asked him for some copies of the charter and he asked Kelly to get me some. I asked MT. Hayes as to whether or not he had received any complaint from the controller regarding the missing records. And he said: Prom the new controller, yes. From the old controller, mo-" asked him if he had made any investigation on the matter or had secured any evidence and he stated to me: T don't intend to be questioned twice about this matter" and I said to him in reply, well, I'm here to make an investigation to see if you have any evidence. I already talked with MT. Rowland; I already talked with MT. Purcell. I already talked with others and I intend to talk to more, and if you have anything or made any investigations, I should like to know about it." And he said, "Well, I have talked with our chief of police. I haven't any evi- dence to offer you and haven't anything to say at this time. And I don't intend to be questioned twice about it."
