GREEN DENOUNCED AS A PERJURER.
Mr.. Joseph B. Stewart, who has been in the
city for several days waiting to testify
before the sub Judiciary Committee Of the
House investigating ex-Speaker Blaine, is
out In card in which he denounces as
false in every particular the testimony OF
Thomas A. Green, SO far as regards Mr..
Blaine and his alleged connection with Kan
sas Pacific railway affairs. He presents re-
cord and documentary evidence conf ma
tory OF each allegation contained in this
statement, and states that he holds himself (
in readiness TO prove Mr.. Green to be a
falsifer and perjurer. BE says Green has
stated what Is positively false when he says,
upon GA. or otherwise, that he (Stewart) at
Any time or place, or under any circum-
stances, or for any purpose, used or men
toned the name of"Hon. James q. BlaIne,o
or Congressman Blaine" or "SpeaKer
Blaine" or any other cognomen or sOubri-
Quet which meant or could mean the Hon.
James g. Blaine, Representative in Congress
Il ON Maine, in reference to any bonds or
any subject OF litigation pending between
himself and the Kansas Pacific Railway
company In the circuit court OF the United
states for the district OF X ansas or else where.
MIR. Stewart closes by saying: 81 can only
imagine from my knowledge of the man and
the fertility of hisrnventive genius that he
cooked up his story for the purpose of OBJ
tanning ride TO the Centennial expositio
at the government expense, Certain IL is
that all his statements involving Hon. Jas.
u. Blaine and the business transactions OF
the Kansas Pacific Railway company are
entirely sratuitOus and false"
