STILL AT WORK.
A. VERY BULL BAY WAS YESTERDAY
BEFORE THE sUB~COMMITTEE.
H0w Anderson Was sent Up tn East Feii-
eIana Against RslIOgg's orders, Etc.

5enCg Of witnesses no testimony was taken |
for some time. The attendance was not as |
large as ON previous days, but there we're
some Of The old faces present which have
graced every session OF the committee. 1t
was some time after IL o'clock when Gen. |. |
w. Patton was called In response to the in |
Of Mr. Stenger, he said:
/ ala now Adjutant General of the State,
II 1916 was chairman OF the state Demo
cratic Committee. AbUu6 the eighteenth 0f
nineteenth OF October I received information
from East Felieiana that j. %. Anderson had
left the parish, and my correspondent de-
sired that he should be sent back, or some
one else put in his place. | spoke to Gov.
Hahn. the Chief Supervisor on the subject
and also saw tho gentlemen who came down
from the parish. / advised them to see Gov
Kellogg. For myself interviewed Anderson
on several occasions. About October 2i
while was at the rooms Of the Democratic
State Central Com mittee, gentleman called
for inc, whom learned
WAS JAS. Il. ANDBRsoE.
He desired q private interview and granted
it. He said he did not care particularly for
any OF the Republican candidates except
Nash, who he desired should be elected 10
Congress. He made the proposition to me
that If the Democrats would ensure the cleo
tion Of Nash, he, on his part, would see that
we got two Representatives and one Senator,
and furnish information which would give us
from 1900 to 1900 majority ON the State ticket;
also information which would lead To the
election of another Representative. / told
him that we could not entertain his proposi--
tions; that We had no authority to do 50, and
doubted his power to do what he said he could
do. He asserted that he could DO. everything
that he said. | reasoned with him and en-
deavOred to get him TO return to East Fell
clana.
I telegraphed for Judge McVea to come
down, aud he came. We both emdeavored to
| prevail upon Anderson to go back and do his
duty. In answer, he said that Kellogg
WOULD BOUNCE HIM
II he were TO go. / tld him Kellogg could
not have him arrested If he were to go, and
urged him to start. He made o number OF
excuses then, and com planned that the parish
! scrip In which he would be paid was worth
less, and he had family. He also said that
there was some danger in It. He finally con on
sented If we would secure the payment OF his
parish scrip. / told MeVea that the Central
COMMITTEES would advance half the sum, and
gave him $50 for Anderson.
| Anderson said he was being watched by L.
! b. Jenks, and could not get away He prom
ised TO go that evening, but did not
| On the very next day Mrs. jerks called
l Shs stated that II 1 would call upon hel
ut her house she thought size and could get
i Anderson to return to the parish. I VISITED
her, and there found Capt. r. H. jerks anc
James E. Anderson present. learned from
Mrs. jerks then that Anderson was in debt
and
/ HAD NO MONEY
for his expenses. He came in the room and
made an arrangement with him regarding
the expenses OF the trip. i requested tthe
captain Of the PaTgOud to land at CarrOlltOn
and [ sent him up In cab, and he left on the
boat.
He was met at Port Hudson according tc
instructions given to Judge McVea, by q
special train and conveyed to East Feliciana
| After Anderson had left, Mrs. jerks came
to see me and asked that her husband should
go up with him, as he could keep Anderson
straight. My impression was that the Jenks'e
had some personal enemy in East Feiciana
on the Republican ticket, whom it was desired
to defeat. gave Mrs. jerks $25 to send hel
husband up to the parish.
In all these proceedings my object was tC
secure fair registration Of the voters of the
parish.
There was no cross examination Of the wit
ness.
A recess was taken until / o'clock, there
being no other witness present.
AFTER THE RECESS.
