lclcd. Gould dOcS not Aly much about
his testimony, hut in less than three hours
aflcr he LETT the capitol, Fisk llAd told his
story To room full Of reporters. II h'IS
been written out to-day from short hand
notes, And is ruCy reading. 1t does not
seem worth tGlegrAphing, however, for
there is nothing in It beyond what was
printed in New York last tall by Fisk
himself Or with his permission. The two
men are the OppOsitcS Of each other,
almost NS unlike Us two men Gun te.
Gould Is quiet IN manner and rGticcnt in
speech, while Fisk Is noisy and pushing,
and gurrulOlw to tue last degree. Gould
gave his evidence with caution 0nd prcci'
sion. Fisk was prOIane and OratOrlcnI,
dramatic and hightalutin. Gould dcltbc'
rated on every answer he nude, Und went
no further than necessity required. Fisk
poured out torrent OC words, and was no
more to be checked tIlan Ningarl In its
flood. Gould gave no cxtraneOus tntOrInn-
ton, but Fisk continually Stopped over.
There WIS business in the room while
Gould sat in the witness cllAir. The two
hours of Fisk was u broad fiIrcG or rmIr-
ing comedy from end To end. His story Is
rICy 10 read, hut the flavor Of his action
and gcsticulating Is wanting. lie was
yery anxious to tIc present during the eX.
animation Of Gould, hut the Committee OF
course, did not allow this. 81 never have
been separated from Gould before" he ex-
cluimci, in high tragic manner to the
Committee. When Could reads the story
told by his Adjutant, there is II chance
for an explosion. These two w0r-
thies had theory, or thought they
luud, and il WIS that wheat coming from
the west over their line Of course ought 10
% abroad, but couldn't do NJ irgnld was
low. They profess to believe that they
acted us public benetaCtOrs IN throwing up
the price. They tried every possible way
To get tho President to commit himSelIto,
or ut least 10 act on their theory. They
rcpOrt scraps Of conversation with him,
,nd tell what means they used to reaCll
him through friends and relatives. Fisk
slN4lks Of COrhin us an old thief, and pho
togr.phS his character in Il sentence:
when lie reaches his hand to the shelf he
cleans oil everything there is on it, Cor
hin made them believe, or ut least they
say lie made them believe, tlat he spike
for the President, hut GNIlld in reply To Il
direct question now answers that he deS
not know Il thing in Nny way whatever
connecting the President or any mrnhcr
Of his family with the conspiracy. Fisk's
STYLE Gun liz seen in one Of his answers.
When asked what lad become oI u Ger.
tain twenty-five thousand dollars placed
to Mrs. Grants credit, her replied Its
gone where the wOOdhine twincth. lie
was BJabaSleX FRrioW from beginning to
end, anil kept the Committee in fever Of
suppressed laughter. They began on
Gould with u large number Of carefully
prepared questions. With Fisk they could
do nothing hut allow him to go on in his
own way and manner, till he got through,
Gould gave them some information, 0Ill
of which they hope to make rWlntsag!inSt
other membcrSOfthc ring. Fisk could not
speak Of poor Spcyer asa Dutch Jew or a
German Jew, hut staggered the commit
tee by calling him "tlnt SaXOnian Roman
Of the coming band" Gould made no pre-.
tense and attracted no attention Fisk
