CREDIT MOBILES MOBILIZE INvEsTIGA-
Proceedings Of the senate Special
Committee To-day.
In the Senate credit mobilier committee YES
terday after recess, Vice President elect Wilson
was called, and said he had no desire to add to
or take from his testimony before the Poland
committee. At the time this purchase was made
with his wife's money, he would have done the
same himself if he had had the money. He did
not wish to cover himself behind the fact that
the money belonged to his wife. Mr.. Ames stood
second to no man in Massachusetts,, and witness
had the most unlimited confidence in him, and
would have listened to his advice on any invest
ment. Things have changed since however.
In witness testimony the other day he made
one error in regard to interest due Mr..
Ames which he forgot to mention then.
1t was an item of SEQ, due Mr. Ames, and paid
HIM when the account was settled. The amount
ceived, S2,1Is.05. Amount returned to Mr.
Ames when the account was settled, 81 ,s14-the
sixty-six dollars being interest due Mr.. Ames.
Witness was just as responsible for advising his
wife to put her money in il as If it had been his
own. When the investment was made he knew
nothing against il. When he learned something
was wrong, he notified Mr.. Ames he would
have nothing to do with it, and had the matter
settled at a sacrifice to himself, or rather TO his
wife. Witness would never hold property which
he had to legisate upon. and refused to take
