lsa 1han 100 shares, and he compromised in Unior
give 20 much Credit Mobilier to Brooks, rs il
had advanced materially prior to the Anes con.
tract but dividends in Credit Mobilier stock were
very Light. He had no knowledge Of Congress
men influenced By tho Credit Mobilcr. The

tried to have the Credit Mobilior stock taken in

nUsHsELLs TESTIMONY.
MI Bushnell testified that when the Credit
in Congress and out OF Congress-, to get them to
take stock The witness had a letter from
prominent bank, where the Crodit Mobilier
was thrown out, as the baak would
have nothing to do with it, because they thought
there was fraud and corruption. Ho thought
thero Tas want Of moral courage on the part Of
certain men, who did agree to take stock, hut
now would not gtand up and say they agreed to
take it. Mover heard Aues mention having Of
fered stock to either Colfax, Blnne, Kelley, SEQ
The witness never offered to any member Of
Congress.
By McCrary-Ihe witness thought the mem-
ber OF Congress having stock in the Credit Mo-
bil!cr had a perfect right to voto on the Pacific
Railroad matters. Ho saw no more impropricty
in it than one voting owning National Bank
stock.
By Blaino-1t WAS tile understanding that
Ames got large amount Of stock to enable him
to fulfl engagements which he had entered into
previously. He felt as Ames had expressed it
in ono Of his letters, that il they went back On
the congressman after tho stock had gone up,
when It lad been promised them, then when it
was down congressman would 60 back On them.
