both times. Between February and March,
1879, was in Lynn getting papers signed
Tor my pension, which lost by not being
present at the BIENNIAL examination. l
went with him to the city hall. Ihave seen
Henry l.. Morey write. l know his hand
writing. The signature in the register of the
Kirkland house, of Lynn, Mass, shown ME,
Is the signature of Henry L. Morey. The
date is February %, 1879. 1 also find his
signature here under date of October II,
1879. 1t reads, 81. L. Morey, Lynn. Main

tifcate in June, 1879. read it and handed
it back to him, Cross examined. Clara L.
Morey is my mother and g living at Lynn.
l said l met Morey IN Main street and there
IS such a street.
There is also Washington street. 1 do
not know that cn some of the lamp posts
is marked Washington avenue" Inever
looked, and would not like to say. This
list you hand me is list of general deliv-
cry letters. 1t is dated on the back, jan
uary so. There is no alteration IN the
date. The figure is not altered to my
knowledge. 1t looks as if it had been
poorly written, and had been written twice.
The 25th of January is missing on the list.
No list is put up on Sunday. The 25th was
Sunday. II it was mailed from Washing
ten to arrive at our Office late Saturday or
Sunday, it would be delivered on Sunday
without any record being kept. Sunday,
the Office is open from 10 to II Am. Oc-
casionslly the mails have been delayed.
When so delayed 1 do not know
that in transit they are taken to
the New York postoffce, but I
will not swear they have not.
l saw II. L. Morey last in 1879, in my
brothers house in Lawrence, Mass. NJ. P.
Clarke told me he wanted me TO go to New
York. He told me to go TO the Democratic
headquarters and l did SO when I arrived
here Saturday night at IL o'clock. I came
back from South America in 1879. 1 have
worked for Humphrey Bros, at Lawrence,
Mass, where live.
Mr.. Morey continued: A great many have
called to see me about this matter. My
statement, SIS published, was not as stated
it. There were many defects.
Mr.. Howe asked witness if he had been
offered anything not to come here.
Mr.. Bell objected, but the witness
shouted, "Yes, sir, I was offered $780,"
Laughter.
G. B. Adams testified as follows, being ex-
amined by Colonel Bliss for the prosecution:
am postmaster at Lynn, Mass, and exam
inc letters as received from time to time.
Letters from Washington do not come in
New York pouches. I have never seen in
our Office any letters postmarked at Wash
ington, having on il the New York stamp.
When letters arrive l have them Immediately
assorted and delivered by carriers. l am
generally acquainted with the names of those
who receive letters in Lynn. I never heard
of person there named Henry L. Morey.
Since this question arose have made eff
forts to discover such q person there. !
have searched my carriers books and city
directory. 1 have looked at the registry
of deaths. 1 have conversed with
many about him. but have
never been able to discover anyone who
knew him. do not know any employers
union that is under that name. On the gen.
eral delivery letters we receive at Lynn We
put stamp, and if letter was addressed to
Il. L. MOrey, Lynn, Mass, such stamp
would have been impressed upon it. Gen
eral delivery letters are marked on lists and
hung up in the Office. 1 have with me the
list which covers from the 4th to the 23d OF
January, 1880. 1 do not find Il. L. MoreY's
name on it. l have with me what I call
my postof1ce directory, in which record OF
removals, ETC., Is kept, but l don't find his
name there. He never had box in our Of
flee. l have never seen q letter addressed
10 Henry l.. Morey until within few weeks
ago. There are three in the Office now
waiting TO be called for.
Mr.. Brooks stated the defense had never
claimed that Morey WAS resident of Lynn,
though he had been there off and on in his
labor movement.
Witness continuing: In this Lynn direc-
tory, 1 do not find Morey's name on it.
There is not in Lynn, to my knowledge, any
street called Main street. In this street di-
rectory, which you hand me, no such street
appears in the list.
Cross-examined by Mr.. Brooke know
the street running from the city hall down
TO the Wharves across the railroad track. II
popularly known as Main street.
Mr.. Brooks called Henry E. Knox
counsel of the prosecution, to the stand. He
testified: I was a classmate of Gen. Gar
field and know him intimately, but csnno.
say know his handwriting.
''Abram S. Hewitt, take the stand" called
Mr.. Howe. He testified: I reside in New
York city, and do business here. 1 have
been a member of Congress and am ac-
quainted with Gen. Garfield, and am famil-
lar with his handwriting. These letters ]
hand you are from him. There are three of
them and are signed by him
have frequently seen his
signature. The MoreV letter which
have IN my hands is in General Garfeld's
handwriting. l have no doubt of it any
further than that clever counterfeiter can
forge any mans signature. The signature
in the Morey letter is, In my opinion, il
his handwriting. have compared the sigma
ture with the Jewell, Rockwell and O'Neil
letters, and 1 am more confident of the gen.
uineness of the Morey letter than the O'Neil
letter. The word "companys" in the Morey
letter is incorrect. On one letter, sent me
May 9TH, postscript is in Garfeld's writing
In that postscript Garfield spells pedigree
'pedidree."
Gross examined by Mr.. Stoughton: first
saw the original Morey letter on Oct. 20
That evening was to deliver an address al
Cbickering hall. saw the printed letter or
that day in the national Democratic commit
tee's rooms. Later in the day, about
