Note-trom the testimony of witnesse

ana then and looked after the fifty musket
and racks 10 said armory."
l have only to say that this statement i
not true, hut it is erroneous in every par
licular. My accounts and vouchers sub
nltted to the committee do not show that
nave received or paid any sucn amounts TO
the rent OF that arnory or the salary of tn.
keeper during the years 1873 and 49, 1. MOI
can the testimony OF reliable witnessed
show that the arDory has not been used
etc. since the Inauguration of Governo,
Kellogg.
The vouchers submitted to your commit
tee only claim that have paid the sum OF
S9oo Tor the years 1872, 1873 and 1874 fol-
tnat armOry, which is one year more than
the report of Messrs Detiege and Alexander
| mentions.
There was not voucher in their posses
sion which claimed that l had paid the ar
morer ct the City Guard one cent from the
State funds. That armOrer was paid by the
City Guard, and l have the receipts show
Ing that he was paid up to the time that
the armOry was given UP on October l.,
| 1874. >
The City Guard armOry was hired by the
| year, from December of each year, and as
soon as found that the company could not
succeed IN reorganizing, l Cancelled the
| lease and surrendered the building: and
can prove by credible witnesses and mem
bers Of the company that the armory was
used on the regular drill nights of the com.
| paDy up to the time of surrenderng the
room, except during the summer months,
and at times when tie gas was shut off, in
consequence OF the non payment of the gas
bills, which was the case in the other
armOries OF the State.
e"hC iiucItS VI addressing tutSe lew
remarks to you, hoping you will please en-
body them in your minority report to the
Senate.
l have the honor to be.
Very respectfully
