the Indictment
Judge Davis "Correets" an Error.
New YORK, November 15sh.-,Judee Davis
at a late hour tonight sent communications
to the newspaper offices, in which he saws he
is satisfied that in giving a summary of
Joseph Harris testimony in the Philip case
from his memoranda and recollection that he
fell into an error, which, in Justice to MIR.
Hewitt, it is his duty to correct; that the
text of the letter had been published and
Autographed in fac simile had not, and it was
to determine whether the letter should be
autographed and published in fac-simile that
Hart sought the opinion of Hewitt and
others as to its genuineness. In every
other particular, the Judge saws. he be-
lleves the evidence and all the information
derived by him from it are wholly justified
by the facts, and then the Judge goes on to
| show how the error happened to be made.
and to inquire whether it is of any material
| significance in forming correct opinion of
his conduct in the affair. He says: "As
at first published it would have fallen still
born as silly and useless forgery,
if it had not been taken I'D and
carried, through Photographic and It'll
ographic fac-similes, on the shoulders
of the National Committee and Mr.. Hewitt's
stronger character. Nobody charged or
suspected Mr.. Hewitt of being guilty of the
forgery, but my belief was, and still
is, that but for him and his course the forgery
would never have been picked out of the gut
ter in which it was born and hurled into the
canvass with the deadly power of his indorse-
ment and that of the National Committee. +"
The Judge then adds that some portions of
the testimony of Hart tends, he thinks, to
show that his Judge Davis'1 mistake was
one at most OF mere phraseology He then
goes on to say that the testimony had not
been written out, and he had raised in his
brief note the most important points In
conclusion Judge Davis says: ct is great
mistake in MIR. Hewitt to suppose that his
testimony and his conduct were not a legiti-
mate subject for judicial criticism when he
appeared as a witness under such circum-
stances, and my opinion in the case. for what.
to him, except in the single particular above
suggested"
