He says had he been allowed thirty more days, the committee could have cleared the court or exposed guilty parties, if any, to the public.

Schively Testimony Highlights Insurance Probe
In Olympia on August 24 witnesses in the Schively investigation largely backed the state Insurance commissioner. Schively testified that 36,400 dollars net was earned and that 50 percent went to HL Nichols, the former secretary of state, with blame placed on Nichols for extorting funds from insurers. Former Attorney General John D. Atkinson said he instructed Schively to collect a 200 dollar flat rate from insurers. Some witnesses denied Schively’s perjury charges, and officials expect acquittals on the remaining counts.
