I met him n the hall of the courthouse on the day of the next Commissioners' meeting nnd demanded that he bring in his evidence If he had any. He came affiin several days later with three davits. He said he had spent a year making the investigation. I asked if the affidavits were all he had. He said he had other very damaging evidence, but refused to give It t e because he said he was keeping it confidential for a "taxpayers' committee."
