Although he was obviously tired and nervous after the four day's grilling, Mr. Gill was definitely on the aggressive. He charged, "Hurley spent three months on this report. He submitted it to the governor and left town. He hit and ran." He styled the activities of James W. Nawn, treasurer at Norfolk, and assistant to Hurley, as "nothing less than treason." He produced evidence that under the present Norfolk administration, two men hired last week have already been discharged for drunkenness. He cracked down on the Herald by stating, "The papers said there was a riot in December. There...
Wilkins: Yes, since you ask the question, we have not been given a full chance to answer the specifications. We have not been furnished with copies of the Hurley testimony, which you have before you.

Since Mr. Hurley has left town on a vacation, Mr. Dillon has been compelled to come forward, deleting the most ridiculous of Hurley's assertions, and adding some of his own to make a full roster. As the official who authorized the sorry investigation, Governor Ely must apparently put the best possible face on the matter and see it through. This is no pleasant task. His chair in the executive chamber is of the tall straight variety; the testimony of a sincere man defending his name against abuse is bound to be lengthy and tedious. His desire to expedite matters...
