NEVADAN SAYS SENATE COMMITTEE
FALSIFIED BANK INVESTIGATION
REPORT.
Reno, Nev., March 25.—Assemblyman Giffer, late speaker of the Nevada legislature, made some startling statements today in an impromptu speech at a luncheon given by the Commercial club. During the course of his remarks, which were mostly confined to work done by the recent legislature, he declared that but for the "whitewashing and dilatory tactics" of the members of the senate committee which investigated the State Bank and Trust company, there was no doubt in his mind but that certain state officials would have been indicted for crime in connection with the affairs of the defunct bank. He further said that the report of the joint committee which investigated the bank had been falsified by the senate and the report as it now stands on the record book of the senate is "false and fraudulent." It was made so, he said, by the senate members of the investigating committee, who had the report changed at the time it was read to the senate on the ground that the changes sought to be made were typographical errors made by the stenographer in transcribing the report.
