1t is stated that the Congressional
Investigating Committee have filed
testimony sufficient to hang, politically,
many prominent politicians here. Iney
have evidence enough to prove that
not less that 80, 900 fraudulent votes were
cast in this city, by reporters alone.
The business was reduced to science
and had it not received such sudden
check by Marshall Murray, no doubt
it would have become OF general ap-
plicatiOn in all the larger cities of the
Union. BY thus timely acting Marshall
Murray prevented the 10000 from
becoming 10000. Several of the wit
nesses testify that they voted from
. to 80 times each. These witnesses
have testified because those VINO en-
plOyed them did not pay them accord
ing to agreement. The committee have
summoned nearly 400 witnesses upon
tho one question of using fraudulent
naturalization papers. Those papers
were offered by the hundreds and thou
sands. Tho committee have the testi-
mony of the printer who manufactured
these documents and who had his
presses running from the first of June
M to almost the day OF the election.
He printed over 100000 of them. The
committee have evidence that the nat
uraliZatiOn evidence in the County
Clerks Office is rapidly being destroyed.
