would make it convenient for any
man to come here at the expense of
the Government, and impose on
somebody by testifying directly
contrary to what he may
have stated in affidavit or other form.
There should be protection from
such imposition.
Mr.. Herman remarked that he
had never heard of a rule to defy
the payment of fees of a witness who
has been subpenaed by the Govern
ment besides, if pay were refused,
it would be said it was for the rea-
son that the witness, denying the
truth of his affidavit, had sworn to
something different.
Mr.. Baily remarked that this
witness was evidently base and
bad man and merited the peniten-
tiary; yet, having been subpenaed
by the Government, he ought to be
paid.
Mr.. ingalls, said his impression
was from the testimony. that wit
ness imposed on Spoford's attorney
for the purpose of disclosing the
conspiracy of the purpose of which
was to deprive kellogg of his seat. If
witness had not obeyei the subpoena
he would have been ameanable
to contempt. The Chairman said
that the witness, having obeyed the
summons of the Committee, ought
to be paid. Remarks were made
by other Senators, when the ques-
tion was taken on Mr.. Hills motion
that Soveignes be not paid. 1t was
disagreed to, Messrs. Hill and
Vance only voting in the affirma-
tive, while Messrs. Herman, Bailey,
Cameron and Ingalls, voted in the
Mr.. Hoar. not being
present when the discussion took
place, excused himself from voting.
The Committee then adjourned till |
tomorrow.
