Special committee to gather evidence in McLendon case
The committee will hold only a few meetings to collect evidence and report to the house and senate early next week. D. C. Smith and Sig Tilebaum will stenograph, with Burwell leading. The panel has twelve lawyers among fourteen members and will refrain from making recommendations. Judge Hines denies giving any legal opinion on the Athens street railway bond deal, saying casual remarks were misinterpreted. He argues no law barred a commissioner from sharing market information, but he would not support acting as an agent in a bond sale.
