STATEMENT

| a
AT the time of your duel with Mr.. Gil.
ley, Ihad been intimate with you for years
and was under obligations to you for friend
ship to me in a personal difficulty which
had before then occurred, But with j.
w. Webb, at the time you carried his
letter 10 Mr.. Cilley, had no personal
acquaintance whatever, and had never
communicated or cOrresPonded with him
directly or indirectly, in my life. | did
not know that you were acquainted with
him until you informed me you had borne
his letter.
That letter is dated the 2ist, and
should be dated the Goth of Feb, 1888;
or your first letter to MIR. Cillsy was er:
roneously dated on the goth, as il was
written in consequence Of the refusal by
him to receive Webb's. The Goth Of
Feb, think, was the date, of the be.
ginning Of the correspondence, :, and that
day was Thursday Of the week. The
duel was on the succeeding Saturday, the
24th Feb, 1885"
These points Of time fixed, | proceed
10 state, emphaticslly, that ! was wholly
| Ignorant, and uninformed by you or by
any other person, that you intended to bear
or that Webb intended to send; on the
Goth or 2lst day Of Feb, 1888, or on any
other day, a letter to Mr., Cilley. or any
body else, on any subject whatever; that
you never conferred with me on the sub.
| iec: until after you had held verbal in
terview with Mr., Cilley concerning It, and
that then, to wit, on the evening Of Wed
nesday, the 2lst Of February, 1898, you
for The FIRST time, gave me the fret inti-
nation that you had borne such a letter
from Webb 10 Cilley, That then Wsdues.
day, the 2lst, you called me out Of The
Hall Of Representatives, and related "a

\ sajd thai you had borne . letter for Col
Webb, calling On Mr.. CiIIes for sxpIana

but also BY other cases, most obvious, but
which have been appreciated, and could
not be avoided. For example: General
Jones and myself were both done injus-
tice by our joint statement. Necessarily
so, because it was joint. Neither party
could state separately what he knew; for,
as the names of both had to be sigded,
the knowledge Of both only could be
vouched. He could not vouch for what |
knew apart from him, nor could | Vouch
forwhat he knew separately from me-
That joint statement, necessarily thus
stripped Of all mitigating circumstances
to the second, made the first impression.
We have, more or less, labored under it
ever since.
Afterwards, you know the influences
and causes which prevented all the state.
ments Of witnesses before the commit
tee from benig more full as to the partic-
ulars now involved in the inquiry-who
were the private advisers of the partiesG-
That class Of questions was excluded by
the committee, as its journal fully and
repeatedly shows. The witnesses were
confined 10 tho narrow issue of the breach
of privilege and the causes of the death
Ofa member, and were not permitted to
state any sextraneous matter. Regarded
myself as rather allowed to confess, touch
ing my own. part of the affair, than to
testify ss a witness TO all know touch
ing incidental facts. No one felt called
upon 10 state more than what occurred
publicly, and what involved the known
actors in the scene. And no one felt at
liberty or bound. ot the time, TO state the
names or the advice Of all the private
friends who knew of the matter, and who
were consulted about it. Mr.. Clay's
friends, particularly, were very anxious
for obvious reasons, not to involve bis
name, especially, in the affair. Thus
many confidential facts remained un-
known on both sides. Mr.. Clay, himself
it is true, whilst all his friends were trem.
bling lest the part he took in 1t should be
disclosed, boldly came to me and said:-
"Sir, it is a nine days bubble: If they
want 10 know what | did in the matter,
tell them to call me before them, and
will tell them" This excited my admi-
ration at the time, and was effsctual to
prevent me from unnecessarily bringing
his name before the committee. 1t was
not my wish that he should be called, and
he was not called. feared responsible
ty as little as he did. | blame him not
for the part he took in the affair. | cen

that the time is come when should be
relieved from the burden Of all odium,
which does not properly attach to my con-
duct in the duel. wish only the whole
truth stated, and upon that will rely for
my defence. Richard H. Menefse, l
sincsrely,lament, is dead. His memory,
TOO, demands the whole truth; and the
part he bore shall never want defender
in me. His testimony yet survives,

to state that in your interview with me
this morning, which you proposed 10 de.

Of the N. Y. Courier & Euquirer, de.
clined TO receive it because chose TO be
drawn into no controversy with him. I
neither affirmed nor denied any thing in

stated 10 you, and do now repeat, that

Your obedient servant,

Hon. W. J. Graves.
Such were the letters exhibited to me
and all these facts and circumstances had
transpiied in the interval after our first in
terview, without any participation, knowl-
edge, or information on my part
You said that neither you nor your friend
considered this note ofMr. Cilly satisfac-
tory; that as apprehended at first it de-
MED what you aIledged he had said to you
verbally; that il seemed TO separate Col.
Webb from bis class, conductors efpub-
lie journals" and 10 decline controversy
with "him" whose note you had borne, and
to express respect for you only TO relative
you from an ''unpleasant situation" or TO
SAL, in effect that whilst it conIemned the
character of Col. Webb, it would recog-
Mise accountability to you as a gentleman.
You asked my opinion ofit,andl could not
but admit that it certainly was capable of
this construction, but advised you to ad-
dress him again upon the subject; to state
his letter was unsatisfactory, where il was
so, and to inquire for his specific grounds
Of decIineing to receive ColWebb's note.
This you consented 10 do, and heard
no more Of the matter until late in the
evening Of that day, Thursday, the 22d,
about the time Of the adjournment Of the
House.
After had seen you in the morning of
the 22d, you had advised with other frinds
whom | know not, and had sent by your
colleague, Mr. Menefee, about or 9

things is this; that, in your declining 10

When you came TO me with this last
note, you came asking me advice, but
with your mind decided to send chall-
enge, and with challange already drawn
before you saw me. As you afterwads,
testified, you said there was no alterna,
tive left, you had consulted with no one,
and requested me TO bear the challenge
Immediately. This was during the silt.
ing of the House, about half past 8
o'clock, P. M. begged you to wait until
the House adjourned.
After the adjournment, we walked
down the Avenue together, end remon-
strated against bearing the chalIange, and
prevailed on you at last to deliberate for
one night, to afford time to sec whether
something might NOT occur, or might not
be done, TO relieve you from the necessi'
ty of challenging Mr.. Cilley at all. You
consented to this, took the challenge with
you; we parted for the night and had no
further communication with each other
until the next morning.
About 10 o'clock the next morning Of
FRIDAY. the 22d, ysu called at my board
ing house, Miss Queens, Pennsylvania
Avenue, and again brought with you a
challenge already. drawn, and requested
me TO bear il. You said that nothing had
occurred to change your Dissemination,
and you could see no alternative. You
submitted to me the form ofthe chalIange
which you had drawn. You remarked
