Thus the very witness upon whom CAT
TELL professed TO lean-hls partner and his
| bookkecper-is his worst accuser and con-
tradicts fatty the most positive statements
which he ventured to make. Is il possible
TO believe, If these transactions were
honest, If the dealings between robson
and CATTELL were upright. and If there
was nothing TO hide, that such precautou:
would have been taken and papers de-
stroyed, and the books of IA mercantile
house perverted rs If to mislead?
That robson was II silent partner in this
matchmaking OF contracts from his own
department is demonstrated by an array
of circumstantal testimony, which il
morally stronger than more direct prooi
would be resting upon memory alone
The joints all 1T in. The connections arr
clear, and the 81 cretary ofthe Navy stand
| before the world with unClean hands, an(
pockets stuffed with ill-gotteu gains
He has disgraaed the navy, ms his frienC
aud crony BABCocK, who had share il
this plumber, has dishonored the army, an,
the fit resting place for both is the peni
Tertiary.
