TIN HARE INQUIRY
EX-MINISTER MEETS SWINDELL.
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
SYDNEY, August 12.
At the mechanical hare inquiry, Mr M. Davidson, former Minister of Public Works, whose name was mentioned in connection with a tin hare license for Broken Hill, declared that he made no. request to anybody for shares in any company being formed for Broken Hill, and nobody had any authority to use his name. Somebody, he said, had committed perjury in implicating him. The Royal Commissioner said that he was satisfied that Mr Davidson was not implicated. Mr Davidson created mirth when he said that Swindell had been introduced to him at the Stadium one night as “Judge” Swindell. He believed that Swindell came from Chicago originally. Mr Justice James had introduced him as “Judge Swindell,” and he (witness) had concluded that he was a man of some-repute.
