half OF his client, in which ii is said that
the charges in the preliminary statement
OF Mr.. Schenck that johnson and Lyon
were men OF infamous character and un-
worthy Of credit under oath, were wan
tonly made and utterly unbecoming man
who had occupied high positions Of trust

country. Another statement that Lyon
had absconded from England is pro-
nounced false, and a production Of proof
challenged. Lyon was then cross-exam-
ined at length by Chittenden, counsel for
General Schenck.
Before the statement alluded to was re-
ceived, Mr.. Faulkner, the other members
OF the committee consenting, and counsel
for Lyon not objecting, struck from it all
purely personal references to General
Schenck, and changed the challenge to
mere denial, Other changes we're made.
