his quotation from this document, he
has omitted most material part of it,
which overthrows his whole conc lusions I:
for, in reference to those very notes, the
document states that, though they had
been received as above stated, The
bank did at It's ozpn e.rheilse and risk,
convert The same INFO shecae." If then
his document IS good tor any thing, it
leaves HIM wholly destitute of any apo
logy whatever, for receiving uncurrent
notes from that bank.
But waving all questions of his obi.
CATION to receive uncurreDt notes from
this bark, / retuln TO, and Insist upon, a
specific statement contained in my COM
municafion 10 The Hpnse, which | think
be has but poorly egaded.
Ii IS is Ibis. That being called on
by resolution OF The House of Repre-
senta,ives to state the amount of uncur-
ren. Dotes which he received from these
banks, he has mlsstated it, by making it
less than it really was"
| 10 decide tits mater, it is necessary
to see, both what ne has said, and what
he had done IN regard TO it.
In his report Of the l4th February,
1922, page s, in replying 10 the call that
had been made upon him, torthe amount
ct nncurfent paper which he had receiv-
edfrom certain banks, he says, as follows,
VIZ:
From the Bark Of Tombeckbe there
have been received Sl5,3ll, in The notes
oil the State Bank Of North Carolina.
From the Bank OF Missouri the have
been received the following sums, viz
In notes Of the State Bank of North
Carolina, $4,000
OF The Bank Of Nashville, 29,o44
OF the Farmers and Nicola
- cs' Bank of CiaciiInati, 1885

OF tne Bank Of Cincinnati, 3,S46
oi the Bank of Massingnn 29l

And, from the Baak of Eawardsvile
there have besn received Sis,562, in
notes Of tbs Bank of Kentucky aud lis
branches.
In The two FIRST cases, the notes were
received on the Isl OF Marco, 1920, and
The tn,rt, il October, 1921. All these
notes, above described, were uncurrent
Al the time they were received from the
banks **s*s* In no otAe, case have
nncarrent bank notes been received
from any bank IN which public money
has been deposited"
These are the assertions of Mr.. Craw-
iord, about which there can be no dis
poie. II, thea, can show another case,
or other cases, IN which uncuryent bank
notes have been Us clearly received from
The Bank of Missouri, as in the cases he
i,as mentioned, make good my state
meat This being all desire, shall
conient myself with but single case at
present.
IL bis letter |. No. 9, of the Cd March,
1920, 10 the President of tae Sank OF
Missouri. he acknowledges, that, in
Reconsideration of proposition made by
Col. Riddick, as agent ier the Bank Of
Missouri" ne had agreed 10 take draft
"iu favor o. the Baak of NE State OF
Tennessee, payable at Louisville, for
$40, 56, in notes Of that bank aud It's

His letter B. No. 25, 10 the President
d thc Bank OF Missouri, Of the l4,h Nov.
800, and The Presidents answer, B. No.
26, of the 18th December 1920, (see d.
cu,nent li9. } show, that the said $40, So,
|, 10 notes OF the Bank of I'enness q aud It's
branches, were transmitted to the Branch
iank of the United States, at Louisville,
81 the 9lst May, 1920, according to his
riders, where they were received by
aim.
rhe Hon. Hugh l.. Whites testimo-
ny shows tia, these notes were mostly
on the Branches of the State Dank of
Tennessee, and that these Branches had
suspended specie payments some time
in the summer of tie previous year.
These notes, il will be seen. are not
included among the uncurrent notes
which Mr.. Crawford acknowledges to
have received, though they we're equal
ly entitled to that denomination. there
fore submit the naked fact to the Com
mittee, that he did receive uncurrent
notes, to considerable amount, in ano-
Mer case, besides those specified in his
report on that subject.
Without positively denying this state
ment, Mr.. Crawford would seem to i'm
pugn it, by alleging that those notes
were immediately placed to the credit
of the Treasurer,,as cash, BY the Bank
of Tennessee. THIS, if ever so correct,
