Democrats seemed afraid Of these cipher tele-

save them. Evans replied BY telling story

which mar be handy around the house in case
you should need them" Mr.. Evans knew what
they were, and placed them III his desk. and,
wien Congress adjourned took them to his
home in lndiana, where he Kept them until last

many had been sent from his own Stale, Ohio,
