which make Harvey hshy witness Captain Greene
testified that he went alone TO Mr.. Kerr by Kcrrs
appointment; Harvey positively and repeatedly
that he with Greene. In conversation
this evening Greene positively denies that Harvey
accompanied him. Again, Harvey testified that Greene
came 10 him and offered him money get him com
mission; Greene 10 the contrary that Harvey
offered TO get him the place for a sum OF money
Greene says that he stayed when Washington at the
Same boarding house with Harvey. who was his old
friend; Harvey says that Greene went TO ''poor
boarding house" because he was poor man, and that
he lHarney) boarded al different place. Harvey de-
tails conversations with Greene about the amount to 10
paid and the chanering over IL; Greene says nothing
OF this but his testimony is that there very little
talk about it
Greene, in his testimony on Saturday said that M.
Kerr examined him very closely upon his army SER
vicc and his general education and intelligence, 20
much so that he wondered that Kerr should take so
much trouble to ascertain his fitness II there was
money to be paid and that he visited Mr. Kerr At New
Albany after 10 pay his respects and that
the Impression he had OF Mr.. Kerr that OF man
OF honor, and he admitted that he did than
half believe that money had been received
by Mr.. Kerr. Harvey admitted in his
testimony that he told his tale New York. because
his patron, Darling, prosecuted by the HERALD,
Sun and other papers, and because the republicans
prosecuted in Washington by the democratic IN
vestigations and his memory as TO the persons to
whom he told tho story, and when, sngulary do

He owned that he never know Mr.. Kerr except In
this transaction, and could not remember where Mr..
Kerr lived though he professed TO have been TO his
house three times. Finally, Harvey was Boosting this
evening that he had "runed the democratic party"
