PoRTANr TESTIMONY,
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Tbe long cross-examina-
ton of the witness Harney before Mr.. Clymers
Committee to-day brought out almost nothing new.
r. X. Elliott who appeared for Mr.. Kerr, evidently
intended to lay the foundation for future contradc
tions of the witness and how lar he successful
will be seen when the witnesses for the defense are
called. After Harvey excused, Mycr strouse,
formerly Representative in Congress from Pennsyl-
vania, was called, and testified 10 numerous conver-
sations with Harvey in regard to the appointment OF
Greene At Harneys request Mr.. Strouse wrote
letter to the President asking him to make the ap-
pointment He testified that Harvey told him that
his salary was so small that he could not live on it,
and that if he could secure the appointment OF
Greene he would receive S400 or $500.
While this testimony leaves Mr.. Strouse in the
rather uncomfortable position of having recon-
mended the appointment Of a knowing that it
was to be paid for if secured it does. if not contra
dicted throw grave doubt upon Harney's accusation
against Mr.. Kerr.
