He said that there was nothing to stop the board from paying the bill according to law.

Following the adjournment of the meeting the committee went into special session in regard to keeping Mc- Queeny employed on the matter. Down in the lobby the various supervisors, not on the committee, chatted over the doings of the day. Supervisor Freund was still very angry over the remark McQueeny passed and when they met in the lobby some heated words were exchanged. To Keep McQueeny* The writer, eager to get the latest information possible on the subject, waited around in the court house in hopes of hearing what the committee . decided.

Len Small has promised to do "all possible" to start construction of hard roads in Franklin county in order tq furnish work fbr the hundreds of Idle coal miners In this section. The governor's action came as a response to the hundreds of letters sent him by and op behalf '^ the miners. Hard road delegations from various parts of the itate conferred with Gov. Len Small last week regarding the early construction of highways provided for In the $100,000,000 bond issue. Early construction was asked on the road from Carlinville to Kampsville and the highway from Hillsboro to Greenville. A request was also made by Senator Richard Barr, Joliet, that the hard road at Crete, the home of the Lincoln field race track, be widened. Illinois' ne\^ state penitential at Stateville, near Joliet, is already accommodating 500 more than it was built to accommodate, according to figures presented byf Judge Chauncey H.

A good feed over- the noon hour seemed to put new life into several of the members, and renewed use of the voice proceeded to fill the air of the ancient and historic supervisors' room. John Conley, tall, rangy, veteran farmer of Huntley vicinity and chairman of the honorable board called the meeting to order with snap and determination. "Gentlemen, the meeting is again open for discussion on the question brought before the board this morning," remarked the man from over Huntley way. Henry Turner, veteran member of the board and also oldest in point of service, refreshed from a recess and something to eat proceeded to be the first to cast his opinion in the afternoon session. Turner was the father of a motion made at the last regular meeting of the board to continue with the services of the McQueeny agency until good old McHenry county was cleaned up. He renewed his pledge of a few weeks ago by saying that he was for the continuance of employing Mr. McQueeny and for paying the agency what they already owed it. McConnell Talks Following the message of the veteran Hebron solon the usual pause and whispering conversations settled oyer the room. Suddenly from one side of the room came the words, Mr. Chairman and Members of the Board of Supervisors." Everyone paused and turned their attention toward the point from which the voice came. It was Frank McConnell of Richmond speaking and it was the first time during the session that the northeastern part of the county had been heard from. Mr. McConnell stated that he had been listening to the various arguments of the session and that he had also given some thought to the subject. He said that he had rather a picture of Mr. Pouse hiring McQueeny and what arrangements he had made with him. Silence fell over the room and all ears were turned in the direction of where the Richmond man was standing. McConnell said that in his opinion Pouse hired! McQueeny in good faith and that he used good judgement and diligence in doing so. He said that everything went along alright with Pouse for a while and that he thought Pouse intended to pay the McQueeny bill from the fines collected from the various informations that were filed through evidence secured by McQueeny. The first break came, in McConnell's opinion, when Pouse asked for a continuance in the cases hyf Judge Allen. That was when Poiise^ wanted time to think, according to MlcConnell. The rest we all know. McConnell went on to say that Pouse was the servant of the people and had been elected to serve the people. Now, he stated we are the servant and must carry on where Pouse failed. "The only honorable thing we men can do is to pay this bill and keep the McQueeny agency employed until the thing is cleared up," McConnell stated. "It's the least I can do for the people who elected me to this small and unappreciated office and I am ready for the motion right this minute," he concluded. A burst of hand clapping followed the well versed speech of the Richmond man. McCauley Answers * -Supervisor Brown then asked J. J. McCauley, special state's attorney, what legal opinion he could render on the legality of the board paying the bill. McCauley replied that he had no immediate opinion to render and that it would take considerable time to lpok up the matter. He also stated that, he would not render an opinion until he had gone over the matter thoroughly. •'This is a big question and I am not going to commit myself on the subject until I know just what I am talking about," he stated. "However, I am at your service and I am acting in the capacity of special state's attorney by virtue of appointments by both the county and circuit court," remarked the Harvard attorney. McCauley was then asked to read the law from the statute. The statute bearing on the case was to the effect that the state's attorney had the power to hire investigators and to use every legitimate means to enforce the law. The question was then asked if Pouse used legitimate means by hiring an outside detective agency to invesigate. McCauley stated that the statute had many angles to it ani that he wotrid have ""to go over it thoroughly before he could render a decision. Smiley In Address Following McCauley's talk quiet and lack of speech fell over the room until suddenly Attorney D. T. Smiley, who had grabbed up the statute following McCauley's contribution to the subject, asked permission to say a few words. Smiley's few wefrds consisted of a speech which lasted three quarters of an hour. He went into the famous Ellsworth murder case of some twenty-seven years ago and told of a situation before the board at that time much similar to the one now confronting the board. Smiley stated that Attorney Lowell of Crystal Lake was state's attorney at that time and that he had asked for an appropriation to help hunt the slayer. The board at that time voted $400 to be used but that an accurate account of the money must be kept & lanui ta tha Almost a Fight McQueehy and Supervisor Freund clashed on the floor, prior to the vote on the motion, after MjcQueeny told Freund that he hoped he wouldn't vote against his bill just because he secured evidence against his brother, John Freund, which caused his indictment. The question by McQueeny came after Freund had asked several questions in regard to the bill. Both men got hot under the collar" and it seemed to be the average opinion among the members of the board that McQueeny was out of order by brings ing him in the sttbject. McQueeny asked permission to speak before a vote on the motion walr called. He tried to explain to the board that the bill was not very large considering the work and results obtained by his agency. He also stated in answer to numerous questions as to why the government didn't stand part of the expense that the govern' ment had already spent five times as much money as his bill on the matter and that the county was getting off lucky in not having to pay for special prosecutors, raiding squads and other expense created in the clean up of the county. He said the government would not have invaded the county only for the conspiracy between the officials of the county and the beer ring. He said it would have cost the county $25,000 to do the same work the governmen had done during the last month. It was through his efforts, he claimed, that fifty-eight indictments were returned in the federal court in Chicago the other day, all of which ware McHenry county men. Getting Too Hot McQueeny stated that he could not understand why the Board in their last meeting was unanimous in favor, of keeping him employed fend didn't even ask about his bill and now question the legality of his collecting the bill. He stated that it was common talk that the investigation was getting too hot in the county and that it was; getting too close to a number of prom-" inent men and would have to be! stopped. Ranted His Money He said, in hU opinion, that siders were trying to intercede for their friends, who were gettng too close to be comfortable. McQueeny stated he would like action on his bill at once and as far as his services being continued in the county the board coulg call a halt any time. The head of the detective agency stated that confessions involving other prominent men in the county were already in the hands of federal authorities and no matter what action the board took about his services the investigation would probably be continued by the government.
