This series consists of sixteen books of stenographer's minutes recorded during the investigation of James W. Eaton, superintendent of the new state capitol construction project. One book of minutes exists for each day of proceedings presided over by the governor's appointed referee, Albany County Judge Thomas J. Van Alstyne. The minutes include arguments of counsel for Eaton and the complainants and testimony of witnesses taken under direct and cross-examination. Eaton's own testimony appears in Book 15. The series also includes a printed copy of the complainant's charges against Eaton and a newspaper clipping containing the text of Judge Van Alstyne's report to Governor Lucius Robinson.
