First: That a recent application to the United
States Court at ST. Louis to have the requirements
of one of several subpcnas which had been served
upon the Company made more explicit, was really
made for the purpose of preventing the disclosure Oh
what was considered by me as damaging testimony
to Gen. BabcOCk.
Second. That nv recent trip to Washington was
made upon or in connection with this business, and
that while at Washington had admitted that the
records OF the Western Union Company at New
York and Long Branch, recently examined by me,
pursuant to subpoena, contained messages between
BabcOck and members OF the Ring which show con-
clusively that Babcock is guilty. Reports contain
ing some of these allegations have already been
published.

half of the Company at ST. Louis was not at the IN
stigation solicitation of suggestion of Gen. Babcock,
nor of any person acting in his behalf nor was my

Second: No effort has ever been maze ny or Ill pe-
half of Gen. BabcOck TO prevent the Company from
furnishing all messages in its custody that had been
called for by process issued from any Court and oil
such have been furnished.
Third: The search made through the New-York

either covered by the subpoena or outside of it, which
related 10 any Of the cases at 81. Lonis.
