out because he knew too much
on Grant. SO Congress wished to
investigate Grant and he writes
Bristow as follows:

whisky frauds have summoned
you DIS a witness, and that you,

have declined 70 testify, claiming
that what occurs in the Cabinet,

met and the Executive, officially,
is privileged, and that y Commit
