Bonds and Money Given to Four Sens-
tors and Thirty Members.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-A member of the
House, to whom the documentary evidence
in Newelrs possession relating to the alleged
stuPendOuS corruption fund used in pro
curing the passage of the bill through Con-
gress making the land grant to the Texas
Pacigc Railroad Company has been
submitted for inspection, makes
some interesting statements. He says
that among these papers is a tran
script from the books of the railroad COM
paRy, showing that one million OF their
bonds were paid to thirty members OF the
House and two hundred thousand dollars
of their bonds and six ty-two thousand dol
lars in money to four members OF the
Senate. He says that this transcript gives
the names of the four Senators and thirty
Representatives and the amount paid each;
that three Of these four Senators and four
only OF the thirty Representatives are still
in Congress.
Newells explanation of how he came
into possession of this transcript is that
while he was yet intimately connected
with the company and held stock in it he
procured the services of clerk in the COM
pany's Office to make the transcript for
him. Newell says the compsny's attorney
and agent at Washington, into whose
hands was put the money and bonds re-
ferred TO to be put where they would do
the most good, was Dick Parsons, of Cleye-
land; that for his services Parsons was
to have been paid ten per cent
of the amount disbursed to these
Senators and Representatives to procure
the land grant in question; that Newell,
who was himself to have received SIS, 900
for his services in aiding to procure the
grant, says that only having S. 900 of the
So, 600 promised him for his services. and
hearing that Ps sons had been served in a
like shabby manner by the railroad COM
pany, wrote him, and Newell exhibits the
letter of reply from Parsons, in which Par
sons states that the railroad company was
still in default in payment of the amount
of his commission for bonds and money
discussed and Other services rendered, and
