, say notice the erasure, but looking through
glass there seems to have been some rub
bing in the ring near the figure three. I see
the stamp on the reverse side, and / see
New York with the naked eye. With the
glass see three letters which are too blurred
to be distinguished. From my observation
of the envelope-that is If
the envelope was brought to me-
without the letter in it, there is nothing in
the writing to make me confident as to who
the writer was. do not think that the en-
velope is in Gen. Garfeld's handwriting. II
l knew that stamp not in use was on the
envelope, I would certainly remark it as a
suspicious circumstance, and would investi-
gate further. If 1 knew that the letter came
to this city and was stamped here out of the
usual rule, would certainly consider it sus-
picious Also, if knew that there was no
employers union, it would further add to
my doubts, and if I knew no
such person as 81. L. Morsy existed I would
have thought it extraordinary. Indeed, l
didn't know these things at the time I made
the examination, and, let me add, I don't
know them now. These questions are mere
assumptions. The letter 1 produced May
z, 1879, is in Gen. Garfield's handwriting
as to the postscript of the letter of May
Goth.
Question by Mr.. Notwithstanding that
the person claimed to have written the
Morey letter had publicly advocated these
sentiments it contains, and in Congress had
by vote and speech avowed and maintained
those sentiments, would not your opinioa
that it was signed by the person so claimed,
be stronger and more positive?
Objected to and excluded. Recess.

Henry Dewitt, night editor of the Washing
ton Post, was called by the defense. He
testified as follows: 81 know Mr.. Anger,
postmaster of Washington. 1 met Anger
October %; had conversation with him
about the stamps in use IN the postoffice in
January" Witness was then asked to step
aside for g moment and postmaster Anger
was called. He said he had seen Mr.. De-
witt in Washington and that Herbert Pres
ton of the New York Herald was with him.
81 showed Dewitt a memorandum concern
ing the stamps"
Kenward Philip called. He took the stand
and was examined by Gen. Pryor. He testi-
fed. 1 am defendant in this action. Re-
side in Brooklyn, and am journalist con-
nected with several papers. The Morey en-
velope AMI letter which 1 hold in my hand
was not written by me. Not word, dot or
comma. I first saw them the afternoon of
the day on which the fac simile was first
published. The manuscript of the article
entitled ''lying and sticking to it," is not my
handwriting. l had seen the fac simile be-
fore wrote the article, which 1 believed
then and believe now to be genuine. wrote
the article because thought the letter was
inj urious to the public welfare, and should
be SO stigmatized. Ispell the plural of COM
pany Companies" The testimony of Mr..
Daggett that denied ever having written
this article is untrue. l do not think he
would swear falsely, but he is mistaken.
Gross examined by Col. Bliss-I first saw
the original letter IS l stated in my direct
examination. I had an intimation of it
from the publisher limiting about the letter on
the previous day. My editorial was not
published on the same day with the first
publication. I distinctly swear that it
could not be, ss I am positive the article
was not written until after saw the letter.
Samuel P. Bubir was examined by Mr..
Bell for the prosecution. 81 am sixty years
old and have resided at Lynn, with The ex-
ception of two trips to Europe, all my life. I
am She r2a~','21turer ind lave teeEi in
business forty years. Have never known
Lynn, and to my knowledge no such associa-
ticn has ever existed. During the Crispin
strike in 1873 I was mayor of the city of
Lynn. In that year the manufacturers held
meeting in tho third story of the bank
building. The strike was hard one, and
any one could 60 to meetings. There was
no name for the meetings, there being no
organized association. When the strike
ended the meetings ceased. Do not know
nor believe there is such person as Morey.
There was no such man at our mettings.
Cross -e1amined-Ia am not personally ac-
qua1nted with Garfield. I will vote for him
if can get home.
John NJ. Hurley testified for the prosecu-
ton: reside in Washington. Am distrib-
nting clerk in the postoffice there. Have
held the position since February last, and
previous to that time was cancelling stamp
clerk. In February, 1880, the cancelling
stamps were changea-about tae 14th, I
think. The stamp on the Morey envelope
was not in use in the Office at the time 1t was
dated.
Cross -examined-Prior to the 1et Of Feb
ruary the stamps used were of rubber. There
were two stamping clerks. About the 18th
of February, after l was transferred to the
distributing department, the change Of
stamps was effected. Steel stamps were in
troduced.
L have written the names of Dickens,
Thsckeray and others for amusement. Have
written Sheriff Daggett's name to an order
for hat, only for fun. He was present at
the time. l have never signed any name
with intention to deceive. The case was
hen adjourned until Thursday morning.
