Mr. XLIIs, from the special committee appointed
70 investigate the charges preferred against the MEM
IND report T with reference 70 the accusations made
yesterday against Mr.. Frear, member OF the In
TSs Committee wished to examine Mr. Glen, but
pcled to act upon the tessimoDy which he had pre-.
On shs morning of the 27th Of March he was con.
versing with Messrs. Weed, OF Cayuga, and Ray, OF
%c e Rali~sy wa suIfI Bill The ssts%ens Being
where. One Of the gentlemen replied, "Go
1nd oui;, that they had already seen him talking
with the man. Mr.. Glen then proceeded to the
cloak room and entered into conversation with Mr..
Lewis but nothing was said to him In regard to
money; that he returned to the Assembly Chamber
And subsequently went back SS, 70 o., the CLOAK % ROOM
the Railroad Committee; and further, that II he
come 20 him and tell him It was all right. After
waiting short time he returned to the cloak room
was the flrst interview at which Frear's name was
mem oned: Glen testified that Mr.. Lewis asked him
70 90 out and see Frear, which he declined, and
Lewis then sent for Frear who did not leave his
seat until he had been sent for several times.
The testimony OF Mr.. Glen at this point is con-
both swore that they did not use the remark
about its being all right, and hence the inference
frear positively swears that Mr.. Glen asked
hin he tGIenl would get $500 Il he voted to
sustain IN, the ~ report to which he Frearl replied,
she committee sustained, and as far as he was
concerned he did not think this Legislature could
Ere bIl: that Mr.. Glen then said that he had been
talking with Mr. Lewis. and that at that point Frear
TO talk with Lewis- Lewis testified that he had no
authority from any body TO offer or pay money to any
member for his vote; that he dld not offer Glen
money, but merely stated the rumor that he had

onsring $500 down and $500 contingent, and the
other sldc $780, Both Lewis and frear swear they
had no conversation with each other upon this
matter. and that they were not personally ac-
Quanted. The evidence OF Messrs. Ray and Ramsey
shove that the sending OF Mr. Glen TO the cloak room
waa mere Jest. From these facts and others
equally conclusive In the testimony we would re-
yectfaiiy report that In our opinion the evidence
doe not fdrnsh any justification for the charges
made by Mr.. Glen against Mr.. Frear, and we
have Unanimously come TO the conclusion that
he Testimony fuI'y exUncrates him from this Charge
An illustration OF the reliability OF Mr. Giens judg-
mtnt aud Impressions against Mr.. Frear u the fact
MAI tho former swears that he knew certain mem
bers we're guilty because they could not look him In
ue face. our committee conclude and recommend
that hr Froar's request TO be excused from serving
