...testimony was in sharp contrast to that of Deputy Auditor Thomas Buckley, who was on hand to defend Hurley. To Gill's "hit and run" charge, which came almost at the end of his closing argument, Buckley, stocky, red-faced, jumped up and snarled, "Mr. Hurley has been an elected officer of the Common-wealth for the past four years. He never offered charges he could not substantiate.

The report was requested by Governor Ely in deference to a popular demand for an investigation of Norfolk by an impartial authority, at the time when Auditor Hurley's investigation was daily front page news, and public opinion had been aroused by the sensational character of his disclosures. In appointing Mr. Forbes, Governor Ely repeated the injunction against premature publicity which he had made to Auditor Hurley, and which had been violated. Accordingly the Forbes report...
