In an attempted repiv to the (barges of
Kiigar Howard that Hitchcock had bor
rowed state money fiom defaulting treas
urer Hartley. Mr. Hitchcock balled things
up badly. He admits that he had bor
rowed money of Hartley, but claims that
he did not know that It was state funds.
He admits tha' one loan was never re
paid In full, but says that (h- paper out
lawed. He admits wilting to Hartley
m melons times while the latter was treas
urer, but says he had no intimate relations
with him. He evidently had not seen the
photographs of leu. rs in his own hand
Hiitlng dated while Hartley was treas
urer, which begin "Deal Baitley." After
