fully recovered from his recent sickness.
Ex-senator Stewart and other gentlemen
connected with the Emma mine transac-
tions were present. Mr.. Schenck read
the following paper:
i I desire respectfully to state to the
committee that since my arrival in Wash
ingtOn l have read the printed testimony
OF Joseph L. Lyon aud Hiram A. john
son, on which the charges against me ap-
pear to be founded. The testimony Of
those witnesses was taken in my absence,
and without any opportunity ior cross
examination. BY this evidence it is
proposed to show that the sale Of the
Emma mine by Park, Baxter & Stewart
to the Emma Mine Company Of London
was a corrupt and fraudulent transaction,
and that to the contamination Of such
frauds knowingly lent the assistance OF
my name and official position. The
charge is a very grave one, and ask for
a most full investigation OF it. For that
purpose, although not invited 10 appear
before the Committee, left London as
soon rs learned from the newspapers
what action had been taken, and came ut

animation of witnesses by competent
counsel acquainted with the case, subject
to The court and to sllcl, further uestiOns
as any member OF the committee may wish
tn mi. that 10 conduct The inquiry by
calling upon witnesses 10 examine them
selves or by such desultory aud imperfect
examination as must be made by COM
mittee not informed Of the facts would be
extremely unjust 10 the party who relies
upon the testimony, and would tend TO
obscure the truth rather than 10 elicit it.
have therefore 10 respectfully request Of
the committee that the usual privilege OF
the assistance of proper counsel may
he accorded ma well as for the crosse xam-
ineotion Of the witnesses who testified
nVnint me, as for thc examination of

the committee be pleased TO accede TO
