those Eastern people WHO wintered at Kansas City
paid their way not the provisions they bought OF
witness they paid for; good many settlers OF the
Territory in both parties, wntered in the State that

know that saw mills were cent out to the Territory
that Spring and have been coming since, directed in
the same way as the baggage OF immigrants witness
kept record Of cats that up that Spring; s

THE last witness that Whitfield had to prove these
same points the cleIk of the Lucy, made tue number
Of these Emigrant Aid Society emiyrants who came
before the election in March and went back *ard
ss about 500 This witness reduces them to less than
500 The fucts may be inferred, first from testimony
already given, and from the books of said Society
transcript Of which will be subscribed and sworn TO-
proving that the Society in question sent out only l6O
ptrsops in all that Spring. up to April, and of these
sxty were women and children. Besides, the vote at
Lawrence where these told the witnesses in ques
ton that they voted, light, there being fewer
FreeStae votes poed there than there were residents
Of those politics, the polls being in possession Of an
armed mob from Missouri
J. RIDpLEsBARGER swOrn-Commission mer ;hant,
Kansas City, Mo in March there were abou. five
hundred emigrants from the Eastern States, mostly
young with carpet bags, trunks, guns and but
few ladies with them; generally speaking, when
boat arrived, Gen. Pomeroy went down to the boat
20 meet the emgrants, and what baggage they could
not take of they put in my charge; attended to
Gen. Poneroys business; Pomeroy was President OF
the Emigration Society; great many goods that
witness received, house hold bedding, furniture, &c,
for other men, marked for Gen. Pomeroy. To
Gov. Kng-Had no conversation with those men
about their intentions; had conversation with two
gentlemen who came in the second boat that Spnog,
and stopped with witness and stored cigars vita him.
- all tbn au,iyra rants of
March were Euigrant Aid people; those two young
men were of that kind they requested witness
to dispose of their cigars, and their rifles and
pistols they left they were going out into
The Territory; they would be gone two weeks;
they had been staying at Kansas City for
some weeks previous, selling their cigars they
returned after the election, sold their cigars said
nothing TO witness about the Territory, but fnaly re-
turned to the East; some OF these emgrants from
Pennsy wanna said they knew OF the election before
they left PenDsy lvaDia and came here before the no
Gce of election bad been given; few persons belong
ing TO these parties left what luggage they had while
they the Territory, and returned and started
East cursng the Emigrant Aid Society and everybody
else, because they had charged them more than was
agreed to for passage and freight of the citizens
Of Kansas City witness among the number, believed
that there was as many returned after the election
as came up; the American Hotel, Kansas City, was
purchased by Gen. PomerOy for the Emgrant AID So
cety; heard come Of the emigrants came up on the
the Lucas which arrived after March 30, cursng the
csptan of the boat because he had agreed to deliver
them by a certain time (which witness Inferred would
have given them time to go into the Territory before
The electior) and had detained them on the river To
Mr. Sherman-Witness did not hear any of these men
speak OF the election ever since the emigration to
the Territory began up to the time OF these en-
igrsnts have stepped at Kansas City, Mo-, and gone
back.
To Mr.. Slannon7.It is common for al emigrants
from all quarters to get dsgused and 60 back Here
the witness commenced to nsuuate that this latter re-
mark applies 10 Northern emigrsnts chiefly as most
OF the Southern emigaLts travelled by land, aud wit
ness did not see thtml To Mr.. Sherman-The emi-
grafton from Illinois and Iowa goes mostly oyer land in
wagons there has been large emigration from the
South this Spring; does not know whether any OF
them have returned the Southern emigration this
Spring mostly came in companies and armed, and
hooked more ike going to than cutvating the
soil the southern emigration by river has preponder-
ated this Spring. Witness some of his ueighbors

70 vote Understood bu, don't know. Witness learned
from Gen Pomeroy and the othas that the Emisrant
AID Society would pay their expenses and freight
bills aud passage when they could not; our accounts

aud passage money of emigrant', and for property
boucht amounted TO some 81 900 $4,000 per year
which he paid in drafts the Emigrant Aid Society Of
Boston; In the year 1855 there comparatively
little ver emigration 10 the Territory from the South
