the democrats In opposing a $15,000
item covering a deficiency in the
office of tho Attorney general. H
said this proposed appropriation
ought to bo investigated by a spe
cial committee. He added: "I do
not believe that there would have
been any deficiency, or that he would
have been called upon to pay the
deficiency, if we had not paid Francis
J. Heney somo $70,000 out of the
treasury, a portion of which I do
not think he ever earned. If the
statement is true, he was paid after
he had resigned from a certain case
I believe it was the United States
vs. Binger Hermann some $5,000 or
$10,000 more than lie was entitled
to, and if my Information is correct,
he has been paid somo $37,000 out
of the treasury since ho has been in
tho employ of the state of California,
and as I have been informed, against
the constitution of the state of California."
