saw them? A-~They were together several times. I don’t think they were the last time I saw Mr. Baker, Q--Did you have any conversation with them when they were together? A-No. Q-—Did they ever talk to you about Senate Bill 173? A<They did not Q--When was the last time you saw Mr, Baker? a day or two before the fight. QR-—And did you have a conversation with him then? A-I passed him in the corridor on the west side of the House Chamber and waved at him and said, “How are you?” He said, “All right.” R-Did you have any versation? A--No. Q-—Refore this attack on Wayne Coy, did you ever have any convers sation with either of them? A | I've met them casually several times | around Indianapolis. I have never talked to them very much { Q-—Now, was there any request! made bv anybody as to what Com- | mittee this bill would be sent to? A Yes, IT had a note from someone which read, “Mr. Speaker, please | send Senate Bill 173 to Judiciary.” QR-—-Was that not unusual? A No. because I find from six to 12 notes like that every morning, when the bills are com ing fast, like they at this time, requesting bills | sent to certain committees, QR--Do you know who gave you | the note? A--No, it was brought up | to me by one of the pages. Q--You don't know what A—No. There are too many them Q-—-Was that the same time bill was introduced? A-—-The same day the bill came over from the Senate and would be handed down by me 10 first reading Q-—And one of the pages working down there in the House brought vou the note? A—That was it. The same dav the bill was received. Q—Did you ever talk to Mr. Downey about this bill after it was im your possession? AI did. Q--Did you have more than one conversation with him? A—I believe two or three times. Q—When was the first conversation? I can't tell you the exact date or day. but after the fact became generally known that the bill was missing, Mr. Downey came to me and told me Mr, Baker had the bill. Q-And what else did he say in that conversation? A—He said, “What am I to do? He came to me in good faith and asked me for it, and 1 did not know he would take it away.” 1 said, “You must go to Mr. Baker and ask him to give it back, and if that can't be done, vou'll have to ask permission of the House to use the original hill.” Q-—Was that before or after the attack? A—Before. Q-—Did you have any other conversation with him about the bill? A—-If I did, I can't recall it, Q—Do vou know any other things | pbout this matter that might interest this committee, A-—None that 1 can think of just now. Q—Was this request that this dill be sent to Judiciary A Committee unusual? A-—No, the request for the bill to be committed to Judiciary A was not an unusual request, hecause these requests are so numers0 Unless there is some good reawhy bill shouldn't be sent to a committee that is requested, I generally try to comply with the request and send it to that committee. So if a bill is requested to be assigned to Judiciary A, I would naturally send it to that committee. | That has always been my policy. Q—Could vou give me the name | of the page that brought you that note? A--I'm afraid not, They're a little too numerous. Q-—Mr. Stein, have you ever seen, during this session, Mr. Downey in the company of Joel Baker or Peter | Cancilla? A-—I have not. { Q-—Did you testify that vou have ad no conversation with Joel Rak€r or anvone else with reference to House Bill 173, with reference to the Committee to which it was to be assigned? A-—None, except with Mr. Downey, Q—Did Mr. Beggs ever report | to you that he had seen this bill 1 possession of Joel A, Baker? A— He did not. Q—-And you have no knowledge of where that bill is now? A—I have no knowledge of its whereabouts. Q—At this time you don't know where the Bill is? A—No. 1 would like to make this statement: That so far as Mr. Downey's loaning the Bill to Mr. Baker is in itself to me not so reprehensible, I believe that had Mr. Baker come to my office and had the Bill been in my possession, I would have loaned it to him myself, because so far as I know, he was the head of a large department in Marion County, in public office, and it is not unusual for me, as Speaker, to lend out to the heads of departments, even though they are not State officers. Q—What do you mean by “State officers?” A—1 mean men connected with the State departments, Q—Then vou would let anvone who came to vou for a Bill have | it? A—If he was the head of a department of recognized standing. For instance just recently, Frank Fimnev came to me and wanted & Bill. and I loaned it to him, 1 didn’t expect him to walk out with it, and he didn't. | Q—Of course, Frank Finnev is connected with the State Department, isn't he, A—Yes. Q—Mr, Stein, do you know one Gus Lay? A-—No, sm. Q—Do you know I. C. Spencer. | A—No, sir. Oh, I may know them by having seen them around some time or other, but I don't know | them by name.

since the attack? AI believe I recall him mentioning something about that to me when I was very busy, with four or five people wanting to see me. He said something to the effect that he was afraid he would he kidnaped or something, 1 | didn’t pay much attention to it. I laughed at him and told him I thought it was silly. | Q=Do you remember just what he said during that conversation? A- | He said he was scared that somes | body would do him bodily harm. | That was substantially what it was. Q-Do you remember anything else about that conversation? A-—J (do not. I didn’t think it was im- | portant at the time, Q--Do you know any one whom he thought might do him bodily AI do not, Witness excused.

NORMAN W. GORDON

Q—You may state your name to the committee, A-<Norman W. Gordon, Q--Your official position, if any. A-<Secretary of the Senate, Q-—-The present Indiana Assemebly? A-=Yes,

apparently tried to pry the filing cabinet open? A-—Yes. Q--What kind of locks are there on the engrossing room file cabinets? A—I don't know exactly. Q—Are there any locks on the doors into the engrossing room? A —Regular door locks, Q-—Like Yale locks. A--I couldn't tell you that. Q-—Now, the engrossing room adjoins Judge Roll's office, does it not? A-It it a part of his office. Q—Who has the keys? A-The engrossing clerk. Q—And who is the engrossing clerk? A-—Ralph McClain, Q—Was there any evidence that the door had been forced? A<-No, but there is a door between the engrossing room and Judge Roll's office which was unlocked. And the other door to Judge Roll's office was unlocked. Q—What kind of locks are there on those doors? A—I couldn't say. I didn’t examine them, Q—Did you find any tools, or anything to indicate that these doors might have been forced open? A Not a thing. In Judge Roll's office, the door between it and the engrossing room-—the door that epens into his office, has some bookcases against it and nothing on the book-

Q--Mr., Gordon, as Secretary of the Senate, the present Indiana As- | sembly, you had charge of Senate | Bill 173, after it had passed the | Senate? AI did. Q-—-And did you deliver that to | anyone? A--To Mr. Stein, Speaker | of the House. Q-—And you took his receipt therefor, and you hold his official re- | ceipt for the delivery of such bill? | A--1 do. | Q-—What is the date of delivery, as shown by your official receipt? | A-The date on this receipt is Feb. | 26. Now, when bills pass the Senate, they go to the enrolling room, That is late at night sometimes, | and I don’t recall if these bills | were engrossed or amended late at | night or not. It's possible that I may have made this out in the, evening of Feb. 26 and delivered it on the morning of the 27th. I don't! know. | Q—To refresh your recollection | about that particular bill, Mr. Gor- | don, do you remember whether or! not it passed on the 25th of February, 1937? AI don't, but the register book will show. { Q—The records in the State Senthe date that it passed? A-Yes, Q—Now, during the time that that particular bill was before the Senate, did any one ever talk to you im any way concerning the bill? A-No. | Q—After it left the Senate. did | anyone ever talk to vou concerning the hill? A—~Theyv did not. Q-What day of the week was the 26th—do you remember? A—Fyiaay, Q—Was there any attempt made to break into the engrossing room | or the enrolling room of the State | Senate? A—On Sunday morning, | that would be the 29th, we arranged | to work in the engrossing room and | the journal clerks had arranged to | work, and T was here for some time before the rest of the crowd showed up and the engrossing clerk, Ralph McClain, came into the Senate | Chamber and said something had | happened. 1 asked him what, and he said, “Our engrossing room was entered last night and someone attempted to break inte the file case that they have which has a lock at the top of it.” I asked him how he knew, and he said, “Well, every morning I have noticed that all I have to do is insert my key and the lock slips out as though it | has been greased and ft didn't work this morning.” Then, on closer inspection, it looked as though somebody had attempted to pry the thing with an ice pick or some other sharp instrument.” Q—And you say that happened on what date? A-—Last Sunday,

Q—But when that happened, this particular bill already had gone to the House? A—That's right. Q—And it wouldn't he at all in that particular room? A—That's right, Q—Was there any attempt made | to break into any of the files or safes in the Senate Chamber? A— After this incident was brought to my attention, we noticed on the corners of the file case in the Sen- | ate Chamber and the one in the engrossing room it appeared as | though someone had hammered or | tightened a clamp on them or something. The paint was scratched off the corners. That may have been done before and not been noticed, and then it may be that | an attempt was made to open them. Q—You don't know when that | happened? A-—I don't know when an attempt was made to pry them open, if an attempt was made. Maybe it didn't even happen. Q—And that's all the informa-

tion vou have concerning that par- |

ticular Sundav. A—That's all. Q—You don't know Baker? A—I do, casually. Y know who he is and he knows who I am. Q—He never talked to you or mentioned this to vou? A—No. Q—Do you know this man Cancilla? Q—Just know him when you see m? A—That's all. Q—Did vou see him around the

General Assembly prior to the at- | | tack on Wayne Coy? | many people in the State House I |

probably have seen him in the State House, + Q—Has either Baker or Cancilla said anything to vou regarding this particular bill? A—No, sir. Q—Mr. Gordon, after this Ralph McClain—that’s the man you named

MARTIN J. DOWNEY

Q—You may state vour name, A —My name is Martin J. Downey,

Representative from Hammond, Ind, holding the position of Chairman of Judiciary A, having been so

| appointed by Speaker Edward Stein. your |

Q—Mr, Downey, what is business? A—I am an attornev. Q—And your home is in what county? A-—Hammond, Ind, Lake County. Q-—-You have been Chairman of Judiciary A during the present session of the General Assembly? A-I have been and during the previous session also. Q—Mr. Downey, as Chairman of

Judiciary A of the House of Rep-|

resentatives of the present General Assembly, did you receive Senate Bill 173, ordinarily known as the Welfare Act? A-—I did. Q—From whom did you receive it? A~I don't know, I believe I got it from the File Clerk. Q—What was the date that vou received Senate Bill 1737. A—As 1 recall, I believe it was Friday. Q—Friday the —? A-—Whatever date Friday was, a week ago today. Q—The 26th of February? A-— I believe it was the 26th day. Q--What time of the day did vou get it? A—T believe on adjournment of the House. Q—In the afternoon or morning? A—Well, T would say, I believe we went all through last Friday morning: I believe it was a straight session. Around 1 o'clock or 1:30. Q—Now, after vou received that particular bill what did you do with it, Mr, Downey? A-—I put it in my pocket. I went back to my seat, as I recall, and I do not know, 1 straightened up a few matters on

{my desk and I went outside in the

hallway. Q—You had the bill with you? A

not lock the bills in my desk. I carried them in my pocket usually until I read the bills. Q—Then when vom went out in the hallway, Mr. Downey, did vou see anybody out there? A—While

out in the haliway I went over and |

had a sandwich and at that time, after eating, I believe T met Joel Baker. He asked me about Senate Bill 173, if I had it. I said “I have.”

| I don’t know whether I had some- | thing in my hands or not but he

asked me where the bill was. T says, “I have it in my pocket.” I let Joel Baker have the bill as he was head of the Welfare Department. He said it affected his department and he

| told me that he wanted to look over | the Senate amendments on the bill | | and I have known Joel Baker.

1 saw him here in the—I believe I met him in the 1933 session. I am not positive, but I know I did meet him in the 1935 session. I know at that time that I became acquainted with him. I knew he was a lobbyist. Knew he was head of the Welfare Board and having known him so well I did not feel as though I was doing anything wrong at the time ng nim see the copy of the Ti. Q—Mr. Downey, you say you knew he was a lobbyist? A—In | 1933 or in 1935 I will sav that I do recall. I would not sav he was a | lobbyist but he was interested in, as { I recall, the Oleo Bill in 1933, I | believe, or 1935. Going back into | the history of it I think he was somewhat interested in those bills and I remember discussing those bills with him at that time. Q—Well, now, when vou received | this bill on the 26th and went out | In the hallway and saw Joel Baker Just where in the State House did you see him? A—Well, now, 1 could not say exactly whether it was In at the front door where we would say the front door near the | stand or whether it was back near, in the—about opposite Ed Stein's office, I don’t recall exactly, but it was somewhere within that spot. Q—What is the first thing he said | to you, Mr. Downey, about this | Senate Bill 173? A—Well, he said that the Senate had passed a bill

A-—1 did not. Q—Is it usual for cards of that kind to be sent up unsigned? A— Yes. Q—Now, you stated that it was possible to ask permission of the House to act on a copy of a Bill when the original is lost? A—That 1S correct. Q—Was that permission ever asked for?

Q—Did you try after you examined the filing case in the engrossing room, to see if there was difficulty in locking and unlocking that filing cabinet? A—The first thing I did was to call Don Stiver and have him come down, because I didn't want to touch a single thing until he was there. When he came, he examined it, and we examined it, and opened the one in the Senate Chamber. Nothing was missing there. It didn't even apoear to be disturbed.

Q—The only thing you noticed was the marks where someone had

A-—I don't know whether he knew I had it or not but I did have it mn my pocket. I believe I had two or three bilis in my pocket. Q—Had you had any conversation with him before that time about Senate Bill 173? A—Well, now, as I recall, T met Joel Baker the night before I happened to leave here, we had a night session and I left the House here and went across the street to the Harrison Hotel and I went in there and had a drink and while 1 was going to order a drink Joel Baker and Pete Cancilla were sitting at a table and we had some conversation there. I don't know if it was about that but he did men.

[m the lobby with the bill in your | pocket? A-—Not necessarily, no. Q--But when you handed him this | particular bill now on that morn- | ing when you got it and went out | | there away from the House Chamber out in the lobby did he look at it? A-—He did. He looked at the bill and said he would make a copy of it. He said he could not get a copy. He said that and he turned away. He says I will make a copy and I will have it back to you a | little later. I remained around the House Chamber that afternoon un- | til late and I expected him to re{turn the bill that afternoon. Q-—-Had he been drinking that morning? A-I would not say that | he had been drinking that morning. | That is he did not appear to be. Of | course the next time I did see him [8 | ran into him Saturday. I says, | “Have you a copy?” He says, "I| | will have it for you, don't worry | about it.” I said all right. | Q—Where did you run into him | Saturday? A-—-He was over in the State House Saturday morning. Q-—What conversation did you have with him Saturday morning? | AI asked him at that time, I says: | “Give me the hill and the copy.” | | He had it copied and, of course, he | | says, “I have not got it, I am hav-| ( ing it copied.” Q—Did you say anything more? A—No, at that time 1 thought that | inasmuch as we would not have a| committee meeting—by the way, he | did say—I told him I wanted to] | have the bill after the copy. I be- | | eve 1 asked him for it. Then a | discussion came up. He said, “1 | would like to have a public hearing | on the bill, | Q-—What did you say about that? | | A=1 told him, I says, I presumed | that he could have a public hearing | on the bill and I would arrange to | set a public hearing for the earliest | | possible date. | Q=Was he pretty well intoxicated | {at that time? A-He was under the | | influence of liquor. Q—That was what time of the day? A—That was Saturday morn- | ing. Q-—Was anybody with him? A--| I think Cancilla was right close by. | Q—Had Cancilla been with him | the previous day? A—No. 1 did not | see Cancilla. He had been with him but not at the time I gave him the | bill. They walked off together. | Q—Did Cancilla say anything! about the matter that day or did | vou have any conversation with | (him? A-No, I did not have any | conversation that day with Cancilla. | Q—Did Cancilla ever say any- | thing to you about the bill? A—Oh, | 1 believe Cancilla said that he did not like the provisions of the bill as | they were and they tried to bear | upon me to use my influence, com- | ing from a large county also, to ar- | range a public hearing and see if| | Marion and Lake County could not | be exempled from the provisions of | the bill. Q—You say Cancilla told you that | he did not like the provisions of the | bill as they were? A—Well, he and | Mr. Baker did not like the provi-| sions of the bill, + 1 Q—He and M. Baker? A—That is right. | Q—This man Cancilla was not a | | Welfare Director,. was he? A—No, | but he seemed to be along and acted | as spokesman for Mr. Baker at | many times. Q—He, you say, acted as spokes- | man for Baker? A--Well, he would jibe in at times when Mr. Baker | was talking. Q—Had vou known-—1I believe vou | say that you had known—this man | Cancilla for a considerable length | of time? A--No, I did not know | Mr. Cancilla as long as I knew Mr. Baker. I could not say that but I did know Mr. Cancilla. I remem{ber seeing him there. It was just {about a year ago in the 1936 Special Session, I believe, that I became acquainted with Cancilla. Q—Was he about the 1936 Special Session? A-—He was over in the | Claypool, would be around the | Claypool lobby. | Q—Do vou know what position he (Turn to Page Eight)
