WASHINGTON.
THE POTTER COMMITTEE.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The Potter com.
mittee began investigation OF the cipher
kilograms. Clarence Gary, attorney for the
Western Cnion Telegraph company, the
com .,any had, when subpornea was issued
for them, placed tnem in his hands. He
was obliged. however. to give them up to
Capt. Whitney, manager of the company
in Washington. Flnya Grant, who select
el the kilograms In New York, testified
that he thought of the $4,000, three hun,
dred!were in cipher. The messenger of the
Western Union Office in Washington, pro.
duced a schedule showing over three hun
dred telegrsms, delivered to Morrison. The
com n'ttss thought Morrison returned the
dispatches. Other schedules were produc.
cd showing various kilograms delivered to
the senate elections committee in two diff.
ferent packages, which, when returned,
were by order of President Oiton shipped
to New York, without being returned.
A passage here occurred between Morr.
son, Hescock and Read the point OF which
was that Morrison threatened that the re.
pubicans w ould learn something which
would make them all less jocular before
the conclusion of this matter and Read
professed to be in fear and trembling.
James o. Green testified to burning the
entire contents Of . trunk containing tele-
grams as received from Washington.
Mcmahon asked the witness if be knew
anything of any kilograms being kept back
from those furnished in compliance with
subpenas of the commission. Witness said
he knew of some telegraphjc correspon-
dence being collected prior to the issue OF
the subpoena. and between James N. Tyner
and John w. Foster, Of Indianapolis. The
messages referred to political matters,
and the impression formed by
the witness was that they
referred to the sale of some political Office
This was possibly incorrect, as the air at
that time was filled with political excite.
mept, and the fact of Judge Tyner's holding
an influential Office might have had the
effect Of leading him to assume that suct
was the fact. He had no direct information
that the conclusion arrived at by him wa,
true.
