mails for Mr. Bell.
By American Press Association to the STAR.
WASHINGTON, April TN the War
Expenditures Committee Mr.. Lucke y
testified that the President told him
that he recognized Bell as soldier Of
his in the war. He did not'say to the
President that Bell had offered to get
and destroy any papers. He never
spoke to the Attorney General in Bells
favor. He might have spoken to Secre-
tary Chandler. Bell never received
authority from witness to get papers
from the District Attorneys office. New
er told Bell he would be literally remu-
nerated tor his services, and never heard
the proposition that he would get pa.
pers from the Attorneys office and de-
stroy them. Bell did offer to get and
destroy some other papers that both
parties were trying to get.
o. e. Babcock was sworn, and testified
that he first met Bell as scout of the
army during the war. He next heard of
him when Luckey returned from ST.
Louis. He detailed what occurred
there about December rs. Bell called
upon witness and made the statements
detailed by Bradley and Luckey; wit
ness told him that his statements were
worth nothing unless sworn to. Bell
subsequently made affidavit to the state
ments In the presence Of counsel, wit
ness paid him $50, perhaps $40. Bell
continued to come, and said it was no
use for him to 60 to st. Louis, as the
Attorney General had consulted Alcott
and the Secretary Of the Treasury, who
ethat the Treasury Department offered to
employ him to hunt up testimony against
witness.
Gen. Babcock then read Belps afida.
Wit. He then said he had told the Pres
ident In substance what Bell stated.
This was before Bells appointments in
the Pension Bureau. He never employed
Bell to get papers for any other purpose
except to make affidavit. He denied
ever admitting his guilt to Bell. LIE Of
fered to put In evidence certain tele.
grams received since Bell had testified,
but the Committee declined to admit
them. The Committee then adjourned.
The kilograms which the Committee de-
clined to admit are as follows:
