James F. Wilson prefaced his statement by
! demanding to know if there is one particle OF
| evidence in any shape before the committee.
| charging him with having received the PanOche
| company's stock The chairman replied that
there is no evidence duplicating Mr. Wilson
| before the committee. Mfr. Wilson said that
any book, paper or document purporting to
connect his name in any way at any time in
| any degree, with the PanOche COMPANY is a
| forgery He further said that he was chair
| man OF the judiciary committee of the House
OF the 10th Congress. The committee
| investigated the McGarrahan case very
thoroughly. Witnesses were examined
and arguments were heard, and report
recognizing McGarrahan's claim and author
! IZlng him to buy the land in his grant at $l.25
| per acre Never was interested in stock
| in the past, present, or prospective, and the
| charge. III all its length and breadth, is abso
lutely. unIualifiedly and audaciously false.
| Judge Black, counsel for the New Idria com
pany, disclalmed all belief in the truthfulness
Of the book so far as implcatiug Mr.: Wilson

| Charles p Shaw, counsel for McGarrahan,
that he could prove that the New Idria com
| pany had paid for perjury and forgery TO
defeat. McGarrahan's claim, and he would
| prove it.
| McGarrahan then took the stand. and
recess Of fifty minutes was taken to give coun.
sci an opportunity to examine the testimony
AFTER RECESS.
At l15 D. NJ, the committee reassembed.
and Mr. MEG Garr rahan took the stand. He was
demanded the production OF the Journal of the
company on which the memoranda of the
