may have letters from Senator Kel.
logg not yet submitted to the Com.
mittee, but declines to produce
them without the consent of that
gentleman, which the gentleman
gave through Judge Shellabarger.
The Senator added that he was de.
sirous of having any and all cor
respondence between himself and
Mrs. jerks laid before the Conn.,
mittee. Mrs. jerks then said the
letters were in New Orleans and
she would produce them as soon as
possible. The expected package of
Anderson letters has not yet been
received. In reply to questions, the
witness said she dictated the Sher-
man letter to another party and
wished the Committee distinctly
to understand that she herself did
not write it.
Q.-Who was the person to whom
you dictated the letter?
AIR. Chairman, l must de-
cline to tell that. 1t would not be
honorable; it was person promi-
pent In Louisiana politics. l saw
him probably six months ago; he
may be dead now for what I know;
he was a kind OF Republican. The
present draft of the letter was too
elaborate for witnesses taste but the
second draft suited better. .
Witness did not chow either
draft to Weber. Left him to infer
that the letter was genuine. Never
mentioned the fact of the first
draft to any one until in this room.
