us and we have never seen any of the purported stolen documents Referring to Hhe purchase made from the Old Dominion Commercial Company of Globe for the Globe- Ray highway convict camp the gov ernor says They were not author- ized by- the board of control of which I am amember nor made at my instance direction br suggestions direct or implied as th6 officers making purchases can and will read-

purchases his excellency says I am informed by the purchasing officer that no favors were shown to any concern that bids were exacted monthly and exceptionally good prices secured- not only from the Old Dominion Commercial Com- pany but from all the mercantile establishments of Globe which were patronized This statement does not harmonize with the testimony of the secretary of the board of control given to your committee during the course of which he testified that no bids were exacted for anv of these purchases during the period made nor does it harmonize with the records of claims aporoved by the board of control during the period as to the question of no favorites shown in support of which we submit the fact that supplies purchased from the Old Dominion Commercial Company amounted to three times as much as those from the Globe Hardware Company and nine times as great as those purchased from Brookner Company of Globe Referring to the purchases made from the Old Dominion Commercial Company for the industrial school and the asylum his excellency submits the following easy and complete explanation The purchases werenot made at -my direction but on the judgment of the superintendents concerned and the goods were shipped direct to the institutions Totally without mv knowledge or consent a statement susceptible of easy verification the wholesale house because of its
