WASHINGTON, March H.-Some OF the
most important testimony yet given before the
Post Ofiioe Committee was taken to-day. Mr..
stillman Danfortb, an old acquaintance OF San
dcron, Of the firm OF Barlow & sandorson, tes-
tilted that he occupied the same ofcs at Kansas
City for several years in which Barlow & Sander
son had their headquarters for their
stage companies. Ho was the ticket
and freight agent Of tho Kansas Pacinc
Railroad at Kansas City, and the ONCE OF tho
company was in the town, adjoining the one oc-
cupied by Barlow & Sanderson. He also lived
with Sanderson, lodged and ate with him for
several years, and was on the most Intimate and
confidential terms with him. On moro than ono
occasion Mr.. Danforth says he was told
by sanderson that his arm had 20 spend
