On the record

1946-1947 — The committee staff's Exhibit 40 says checks signed by "Connie Hurley, who was directly in charge of the service" in Las Vegas were paid to Trans-America for wire service (staff memorandum).
1947 — Roscoe Thomas's 1948 testimony, as quoted in the committee's Exhibit 49, has a Chicago contact saying: "I have a gentleman there by the name of Connie Hurley, who represents Continental Service" (staff memorandum quoting Nevada Tax Commission testimony).
15 November 1950 — Nevada Tax Commission member William J. Moore testified that Hurley "was the owner of the service. He paid so much money to Continental Press," and that he "has no connection with the Continental Press any more" since the 1949 state law (Kefauver Part 10).

The role line is William J. Moore’s testimony, which is his description, not a finding. The staff exhibits are the committee staff’s summaries.
