EXTRACTS from report OF Impeachment Examners.l
At the second appearance Of Wooey before the
committee, majority Of the managers being pres
ent MIR. Boutwell, was chosen chairman DrO tenn.
during the absence Of Mr.. Bingham. The examlna-
ton then being about to be continued before the
whole committee, an oath was again administered to
him by the chairman, and the inquiry attempted to
be proceeded with. After being asked whether
upon reflection, he desired to change or alter any
thing given In his testimony yesterday, Wooley de-
clared that he did not consider that he was under
oath the day before or that he had given any test-
mony whatever. lie was then asked If what he mad
stated to the committee yesterday was true to which
he declined to answer
o
That (s2o,0o0) Wooley wanted for his purpose, and
the same he has refused to account for rather
accounted for In four different ways each of which
accounts Is false.-Frst, by saying he had expended
1t In his own private business second that ne had
paid 1t out in his clients business; third that he had
sent 1t to his client in Cincinnati, by q check on
bank there, forgetting that sending his own check
on bank in Ohio would not get ten one thousand
dollar bills out or his pocket In Washngton; fourth
that he had gwen between $4,000 and $1,000 OF
this money to sheridan Shook to keep, which sher-
fuses to testify 10 your committee what lie has done
with IL.
