fallen off.

KnowltOn Tells Another story 20 An.
other Man.

To the EDITOR Of the TrI1uae-Sir: Having
read the statement OF Gen. H. v. Boynton,
dated Washington, May 4, 1876, desire to
say that Ii is not precisely Identical with
bis account OF the same matter" referred TO
In my note Of the same date to the Hon. A. q.
Riddle. All except that which relates 10 the
simple alleged transfer OF bonds by Mr..
Stewart TO Mr.. Blaine is quite new to me.
Mr.. Knowlton's statement TO me OF the
Transaction between Mr.. Stewart and Mr..
Blaine was that late one evening during his
term Of gtudy In Stewart & Riddles law Of.
nee, Mr.. Blaine called, and AFTER IN inter
view Of an hour or more In the private once
with Mr.. Stewart the latter brought % him
(Knowiton) dftoen 81 900 toDds Of the Union
Pacific railroad, eastern division, Askfng
him TO sign them a. Q witness to . transfor.
He afnxed his signature, and Mr.. Blaine soon
Afterwards left the ONCE. Not until . COM
paratively recent date did know that Gen.
Boynton had been the recipient OF the state-
ment from Mr.. Knowlton, and our comparf-
son Of fActs went only and solely, g. above
stated. TO the Transaction In the ONCE OF
Stewart and Riddle. Permit me TO add thai
while the theory OF mistAkon identity Vas
frequently discussed between Mr.. Knowltou
and myself, he never admitted Q possible
doubt that Mr.. Stewards visitor was any
other than the Hon. james @. Blaine, at the
time Of our Conversations Speaker OF me

The Blaine Investixasion.

A sub committee OF the House judiciary
Committee this morniDg commenced the in
vestigation into the S6i goo scandal charged
sainst Mr.. Blaine In connection with the
bonds of the Little Rock and Fort Smith
Railroad company, OF Arkansas.
Mr.. Harrison, of Indianapolis, was first
sworn. He testified that at q meeting OF the
board of directors of the Union Pacific Rail-
treasurer of the company, had asked him
not 10 press an examination as to how the
bonds OF the Arkansas road were acquirei
by the company, for the reason that tt would
involve Mr.. Blaine, and injure his chances
Tor re election TO Congress. He stated that
the interview printed as having been had
with MN oy representative OF the Indian
apolis Senttstet was correct.
M. Hutdrd, government director OF the
road, cOrrObOrated Harrison. but said his un-
derstanding of Rollins objection TO the in
vestigatiOn was that 1t would involve a
prominent man, and that Mr.. Blaine's name
was not mentioned.
Hon. James T. wilson, another Government
director, testified that he had never told
Horace White, of the Chicago Tribune or any
body else, that Mr.. Blaine had ever made
any statement with reference to the matter
other than that made by him publicly from
his seat In the House of Representatives.
n. II. Rollins, the treasurer of the company,
said that he had heard that Blaine would be
involvsa oy an investigation because he had
heard from some source, which he could not,
now remember, that he would be. He de-
MED, however, that he drew Mr.. Harrison
aside to make the statement, becaue the
room was small one, and he could not well
have done so. He also denied that he told
Mr.. Harrison that Blaine would be injured
in his Congressional election by an in vesti-
CATION, and for the reason that he could not
have done so because Mr.. Blaine had been
triumphantly elected In his district three
days before the meeting of the board of direc-
tors took place.
Mr.. Rollins further testified that to satisfy
his own mind in relation to the hearsay that
Mr.. Blaine would be involved by an exam
inatiOn OF the matter, he made q thorough
examination OF the books OF the company,
aud every other source calculated TO confirm
or dfspel the charge, and he long since be
came satisfied that the rumor was mistake
and that Mr.. Blaine had nothing to do with
the transaction. In the most remote or indi-
rect manner. Witness was long since of the
opinion that the charge was q cruel Islander
on Mr.. Blaine.
