yoving the relations of Miss Sweet end David Bakey
TO the Chicago Pension Agency was roopencd to-day
Miss Sweet and Josiah Lombard, one OF the execu-
tors OF Miss Sweets father, were examined for
several hours. Josiah Lombard testified clearly and
empha,caly the substantial facts that had been de-
tailed by Miss Sweet He denied what Bakely charged
that Miss Sweet had admitted to him that she had
assumed the $4,000 defacation as her own debt. On
the contrary Lombard testified that she assumed tie
responsibility to the Government for that sum- but that
she assumed II "a her obligation ~ between her
self and Bakey. Miss Sweet recalled and examined
at great length. she told her story with remarkable
precision cooncss and emphasis. II differed IN no single
particular her former statement already published
except that she produced orginal letter from Bakey
which she he'd found since her former testimony was
given II will he remembered that Mr.. Blahely teie
graphed Bradford VT to Miss Sweet after Special
Agent uckey had discovered ibe deficit upon the books
that IL would be all right" Miss Sweet bad before
that written a letter 10 Mr. Blakcly insisting upon
Immediate payment Of that dealcation Bakely did
not produce that letter. stating he had lost IT, and
Miss sweet had no copy. Miss Sweet however, to-day
produced Blakelys answer her letter written from
Obi, letter Mr. Blatey practically admits all that
Miss Sweets testimony has charged. lie says
that Mr.. Baker would order Mr. Luckey
not TO make an examination: that Baker would proba
bly, appoint Mr BlakCIy bmscf to out and report
OIL the Office; and that would make IL all right Mr.
Blakrly ncosed in this letter a blank sheet OF paper
with his own name signed at the bottom. and directs
