The witness, in answer to question il
he had any further correspondence or
interviews with Walker Blaine subse-
quent to the writing of the letter read
yesterday, answered: We had ono other
interview with Walker Blaine at tho state
department some time in November last,
and sTrescott was present part Of the
time. Witness desired to know if the news
paper charges submitted by him against
Hurlbut were to be admitted in evidence,
and after general discussion tho opin.
ion of the committee was unanimously
expressed in opposition to the admission
Of campaign matter in the nature Of .
general attack upon the character of
Hurlbut.
Shipherd said he deemed it due to him
self to bs allowed to offer as evidence,
in his own defense, everything which led
him to form an opinion that Hurlbut
was purchasable man.
A running discussion snsusd, and g.
nally Rlount moved to exclude this evi.
dsnce. The motion was tabled for the
present.
Rice resumed with the inquiry, "Have
you any other correspondence with SEQ.
retary Of State Blaine. which has not
been printed2"
Answer-"I have none, with the excep.
ton of one letter, December 10th, 1881,
addressed to Governor Boutwell,, and in.
tended to be shown to the secretary Of
state. whoever it might be, whethe,
Blaine or Frelinghuysen."
Shepherds letter was then put in evi
dence and read by the clerk. It wai
quite long and defended the writer
(shiphsrd) from the seoretary's charges
against him of attempting to bribs Min
lister Hurlbut.
Witness went back to dispatches which
he (Shipherd) had supposed were SEM
by Secretary Blaine to Hurlbut. Thes.
dispatches, witness stated, were read K
Senator Blair by Blaine June I'd, ani
subsequently Senator Blair remarked t,
him (ShipherdD that IF you had writer
the dispatches yourself they could no
have covered the ground more perfectly
particularly the cable dispatch" shortl!
after that tho witness saw Senator Blai
and asked him if the dispatches had bsel
sent and was assured that they had been
4 Again a few days afterward, Senate
Blair said to witness: II have seen tn
secretary and he says the dispatchs
were sent without an alteration Of an
kind, on the same day they were receiv
ed"
4 He was much disturbed and q
once sought Senator Blair to find on
what it meant. The senator was grsstl
puzzled and said: aMr. Shiphsrt
this Affects my vsraeity and that Of ii
, SECRETARY. I will make it my business I
investigate it.
Witness continued: Finally senate
!, Blair advised me to come to Washipgtq
bring the letters and correspondent
, and lay the matter before the secretar
. In that way We should get at the bottol
Of it. Witness therefore came to Wasf
ington and held his first interview wit
!. the secretary on the evening of Octobe
18th. Witness then detailed what o.
. CURED at this interview, prefaeing it wit
the remark that possibly he might
some Way over run what Wss said or dor
at one interview with another. Shil
herds assertion about his talks vii
Blaine arc entirely unsupported BY an
d evidenos which hs cosld bring and re-
! only on his reputation for vsrscity.
