None of these questions was answered. These questions are crossed off on the returns made to the board, and other items are substituted. Why is that?” Board to Have Those Answers. “Our manner of making returns has always been satisfactory before,” replied Charles E. Martindale, “and they are filled out this year as they were heretofore.” “That is beside the point,” rejoined the governor. “Here is a series, of definite questions; they call for definite and specific answers. Can you get them for the board.” Martindale promised that he would see to it that the returns were made out as the blanks indicate and sent to the board. Curiosity as to Stocks. The governor showed a certain curiosity, also, with respect to the market value, or the actual value of the stock of tiie Postal Telegraph company, which was represented by F. W. Samuels. “One of the questions on the blank concerns the market, or the actual value of the stock,” said the governor. “and yet no reply is made to this at all.” “The stock is not on the market,” replied Samuels. “It certainly has a value, notwithstanding,” commented the governor, “and we want some idea as to this real value. If it is not furnished us by the officials of the company you represent, we will have to guess at it, and you may be sure that our guess will be of such a nature as to protect the state fully, at any rate.” Jury and Embalmed Beef Case.
