and OF course only his friends were
there; think Booth said in his cham
bers that Wright was fine man and q
good man; ! talked with the Governor
only generally, and l told him l
thought Wright would 20 for him; and
ne, think, that is, the Governor, said
he expected he would come over; he
was not anxious about it, however;
he'd like his support, that was all;
saw Northcutt talking with the Cover
nor; probably OIL general matters
about Sonoma, and grain and pigs; I
was talking then with Hart, on one
side, think it was about poetry.
To Amerman-Did 1 swear didn't
get $50 Of Hart Directly or Indirect
ly? At any time? Eth? Did u
Amerman--Never mind your schol-
astic trickery and exhibition; we've
had enough Of that. Answer my ques-
ton.
Witness-Thes sum Of $50, sir, I never
received from Albert Hart, directly or
indirectly. tSensation.]
Coggins-When Hart sent for you,
did he give you $50 in notes, gold or
telegraphic orders? Or was you in
formed by Martin where you could
get $50 after you received word that
Hart wanted you to come up here:
Witness-No, sir. tExciiement.]

Witness-1 got $3.50 ore time, and -
Coggins-Did you get $50 fron, any

WitneSs-TO assist me in my ex-
penses III coming up here. The COM
motion was at this point so great that
the Sergeant-at-A Arms was called on to
preserve order.] didn't intend my
letter to be read to the Assembly; in
side of it l addressed it to Mr.. Estee,
and thought he would take steps to eX-
plain why | did not come; did not
intend the term "OId man and imbe-
cile" to be disrespectful; when up here
| talked with none of the Booth leaders
except Hart, but did talk with the
friends OF Booth generally. Witness
was then disinissed.1
Assemblyman w. s. NJ. Wright,
swOrn-lteiterated his statements as
he at first testified; he had heard Nc
Namara's testimony; possibly witness
asked Mcnamara about the man in
Europe. Witness again testified as he
did a. first concerning Mcnamara S
approach toward Northcutt. and fatty
cOntradicted Mcnamara. Witness got
u letter from Mcnamara about Hager'S
election; it provoked me much; he ad
vised me to go to Booth and ask him
who l should support for the short
term, and in doing so he said: 1--WE
can make something for ourselves" "
That was the substance of it. Witness
reiterated what Mcnamara said to him
at the lobby door about a man who
was going for Booth on the next ballot,
and subsequently, what he said about
his man being too slow. He said the
man had just then come out and told
him he was going for Booth on the
second ballot. He told me ne had
talked with him; l believe it was Nor
gan; l heard him swear tonight he
never talke 1 to Morgan; after hearing
him tonight should want corrobor-
alive testimony to believe anything he
would say; he evaded everything about
me; | fatty deny his statements about
what took place i'll my room; some
small things he may have stated prop
erly, but all things material he evaGed
and fal>ified.
The committee then adjourned until
Wednesday evening next.
