Legislative Committee Resumes Investigation Of Graft in Treasury
Important Witnesses to Appea Before Special Body Today; Meetings Secret
(United Press)
Topeka, May 21. —The legislative committee appointed to investigate charges of irregularity made by Governor Davis against State Auditor; N. A. Turner, and State Treasurer, who resumed its hearings here today.
The committee was expected to call State Accountant, Dan Henry, who has made an exhaustive investigation of the state treasurer. Also, he asked that the committee would recall Mrs. H, L. Peterson, a former employee of the treasurer's office. Mrs. Peterson testified before the committee six weeks ago. Following her testimony, Mr. Peterson gave as her reason the fact that the state treaser requested her to sign an affidavit repudiating testimony she had given before the committee. Mrs. Peterson, when she resigned, told Mr. Peterson not sign such an affidavit without complying in petition. State Treasurer Thompson asked her, she said, to sign an affidavit to the effect that his daughter, who was on the state payroll for several months, actually gave him an affidavit. Mrs. Peterson had told the committee she had never seen Miss Thompson working in the office and she said after her testimony she could not truthfully sign an affidavit saying she had seen Miss Thompson work.
The committee at previous hearings has kept all information secret and the sessions have been held behind closed doors. Much criticism has been made of this method of investigating charges made by Gov. Cuomo, but it was unanswered today that future meetings will be secret.
