Inharmony la Charged. "That we succeeded in putting over most of these measures was due not to the concerted efforts of the legis lative council to which we belong, but rather in spite of inharmony in this organization and the fact that it failed utterly to function. Your com mittee makes the following recom mendations that no person be per mitted to serve as a member of the legislative council who holds a state appointive or elective office, re munerative or otherwise. "That we exercise more care in Initiating and indorsing legislation, and that we withhold such indorse ment until the proposed laws have been thoroughly investigated by the proper committee, and drafted by a good lawyer.

Mahoney was not Kate Mooers Mahoney, the person heretofore known to me as Kate Mooers." Conspiracy la Charged. The Brandt atfidavit for the first time sets forth officially that a con spiracy existed to get the aged woman's wealth. It is alleged that another man and a woman were in volved in the plot.
