On June 4, 1913, the General Assembly of Connecticut adjourned in a hasty and secretive manner, leaving many questions unanswered. According to sources, Governor Baldwin had instructed Executive Secretary Thomas to notify leaders in both branches that the governor wanted ‘business cleaned up’ before adjournment. However, a report surfaced that the governor had requested the adjournment be made at 4 p.m., sparking widespread speculation about a possible cover-up. The sudden adjournment has raised eyebrows and fueled rumors of a bribery and graft scandal that may have been swept under the rug. The Governor’s alleged involvement has cast a dark shadow over the assembly’s proceedings, leaving many to wonder what secrets were hidden behind the scenes. As the General Assembly packed up and left the state capital, few were left to ponder the true motives behind the hasty adjournment. The people of Connecticut deserve to know the truth behind this suspicious move.
