POTTER COMMITTEE.
WITH WITNESSES.

s,,,rIal 10 the X, glSter.

WAsHINCToN, June II.
Ont of the mouth OF an unwilling wit
,os. the testimony of Anderson, the
r,ucb badgered and bersted witness, has
h,.o confirmed. Ii has been the aim of
,,s Potter Committee TO show that An
larson had a hold on Stanley Matthews
hr extraordinary services rendered in
the Presidential election. This fact has
baen very clearly established by Ander-
.,,'s evidence, but this, the Republicans
s,c,e IS lot good evidence, because
Anderson is liar The committee
SAINT for Darrsl, and brought HIM from
I-pf.isus. He hsd DO sooner arrived
here than Kellogg pounced on HIM. The
hour ior his appearance before the COM
mi.tee csme, but Darrsll tarried. He
bs1 gone to the White House at Kel-
lo,gs instance and there he remained
until bis whereabouts leaked out. A
telegram from the csptOl found Darrsl
., the White House, and in hall an hour
b, sppesrei in the committee room. 1t
/, important to note TIA. Dsrrah
vs., sore because neither he nor
Packard got the New Orleans
c5re,torshIp; that he had gone about
Washington swearing vengence; and
t,s. he was st first eager to get before
the Committee 70 testify. He and An
ds-.on had held frequent Conferences,
s9i agreed TO tell all they knew if
called before the Committee, IS it was
certain tney would be. DarraU ard An
dlrson have been boon companions this
winter in Washington; when Anderson
bs: :au down from Philadelphia, Darrall
vs.: gla1 10 share his bed with nIn. Al
,-- hls interview at the White House,
D,rrall took the stand changed
man. He had only slight
s-gusintarce with Anderson and didn't
k-ow much about him anyhow; knew
u1.llrg about Auderson's mold on Stan
lay Matthews eIc5p. what Anderson
told him. Ii was plan TO every body who
Aaew the relations between Anderson
and DIrra,l that DArrali had Old OdI 10
,le White House party and wsS trying 10
dsIyrr the goods. No witness ever testi-
ts! with more reluctance, but by er.
sist,ulIy plying nlm with questions
b, was brought TO confess al IN
.nacv with Anderson and knowledge
Of AndersOn's relations with Matthews
which must have surprised even HIM
self. He confirmed AndersOn's state
mant of Matthews anxiety to get hold
ofthe Sherman letter at the price OF the
New Orleans cOllec.Orshlpi confessed
that he was esger to trade on Anderson's
influence and thought thus TO accomplish
what be- had in view. Confronted with
bis lC,tgr 10 Anderson he weakened and
I,. on. all that the committee wanted to
know from him. DArrall is not the only
witness who has been tsmpered with.
Before the investigation ends 1t may
come out under oath, as many people
know 10 be- the iact, that advances have
been made 10 every important witness
waom +. was supposed the committee
would call l. the b tom iaCts OF tbs
slrornstion ever come out under oath,
.ley will damn beyond salvation some
statesmen of high standing and scme
others who nave air,u!y lost favor with
me pubic.
