By a Staff Correspondent of The Star, ANNAPOLIS, Md., March 13.—John N. Mackall, former chairman and chief engineer of the State Road’ Commission of Maryland, yesterday appeared at the Statehouse here before the grand inquest of the Legislature and the Nel- ligan commission. in joint session, both engaged in investigations of the State roads peculations, and told his story. Mackall, who has been the buttress of many unsupported charges since the | money stealing, which has caused more than a dozen to be sent to the peniten- tiary, read a lengthy statement to the joint body, after which he gave his life’s history from the time he was born up until the time of his separation from the roads commission. He said that during the past year the public mind had been focused on the | peculations “and a favorable atmos- phere has been created for the recep- tion of all kinds of reckless and irre- sponsible statements regarding the commission’s affairs. No one regrets or has greater cause to regret. than myself the fact that the commission was the victim of a number of crooks.” When he was appointed chairman in 1920, he said, he considered it his job to build and to maintain the roads of Maryland and not keep books, and then he told of the condition in which the roads were at that time following the war. Takes Up Charges. He took up various charges, among which waz the one that millions of gal- lons of gasoline had been stolen from the Glenburnie garage, and added that the records show that only 19,000 gal- lons were furnished this garage in the year 1927. It would appear from the operation of a large fleet of trucks from this station that not a great amount could have been stolen As to thé surplus war material, he said, its distribution was put in charge of employes and that obviously he could not be expected to act as watch- man for it, distributed as it was through the State. He told the commit- tees that no reliable evidence had yet been given to show that millions of dollars had been wasted or illegally spent by the commission.
