Jg'jQUEENY BILL IS ^ mr SENT TO COMMITTEE P»|r rtiTr*r Bill Is Discussed At Mwting of the Board of Super* visors Tuesday The James McQueeny detective bill wldch hao been up before the board of supervisors since shortly after the disappearance of former State's Attorney A. H. Pouse was referred back to the special committee appointed by Chairman John Conley, together with state's Attorney V. S. bum ley. to investigate further the claim of the Chicago detective. •flits action was taken at the regular meeting of the board of supervisors Tuesday afternoon, after Mr. McQueenv had requested that a vote be taken on his bill so he could learn what attitude the board had toward bis claim. The subject of the McQueeny bill brought forth some fireworks. John Harrison, Greenwood supervisor and chairman of the special committee appointed to investigate the Mil, clashed with McQueeny over the much talked of claim. • Aerases McQueeny Harrison charged McQueeny of falsely accusing the committee, through a letter published over his same in the Daily Sentinel and of shielding certain people in the county. McQueeny replied to this statement that be had never accused Mr. Harrison personally or members of his committee and that the letter he had published in the Sentinel did not contain such accusations. Harrison •aid he could produce the paper and McQueeny told him to go ahead and do so. Harrison said that McQueeny did not live up to what he said he would do and he never produced an itemised Statement of his work, therefore the committee failed to act on his bill. He also stated that if McQueeny produced! an itemnized statement of his work the committee would gladly take action. McQueeny said he did present an Itemized statement and he alsb had more information of value to the state's attorney. Will >ot Bargain To the statement of McQueeny that lie had more valuable information for the state's attorney, State's Attorney V. S. Lumley stated that if McQueeny would present what evidence he had on violations of the liquor law in the county he would immediately start lavestipations, but that he would not bargain with McQueeny inK*advance {Qr evidence that might be brought the court. . Mr. Lumley stated that if McQueeny would present his bill and1 evidence before the committee he was sure that the matter could be straightened out tO satisfy everybody. The matter took up considerable time and much was said Tuesday that was said before when the bill was first brought up. It would seem that from the attitude of the committee and Mr. Lumley if McQueeny presents his bill and evidence his claim will be settled. . McQueeny stated that after receiving word from Chairman Harrison, that his services were not needed by the county he learned that a detective had* been hired several weeks before to Investigate his own record. Mc-- Qneeny said he thought this was unfair. Harrison replied that neither he nor members of his committee had anything to do with such action and that he knew nothing about the detective being hired to investigate McQueeny. Hired By Pouse McQueeny is the head of the Mc Oueeny detective agency that operated fn McHenry county last year and un covered information that led to informations being filed against a large number of people in McHenry county. McQueeny says that he was hired by former State's Attorney A. H. Pouse. y McQueeny is anxious to get the matcleaned up, but he is not anxious io give out anymore information until Ite gets paid for what he hns already inrned in. This was learned from McQueeny following the meeting Tuesday.
