This money he claimed he loaned TO General
Brady he could not tell where no got It from.
After while he came back to correct this testi-
mony, and Walsh said that he did not loan
him tho money In this way at all. He did not
know whether he let him have, $4,000 OF it
here ut Helmus' or some other place, and the
balance at Delmonico's In the latter part OF
August, although he had previously sworn
that he loaned him the entire sum on July 20;
Mr.. Wilson wished to know II upon this kind
Of testimony the Jury were going to say that
General Brady was corrupt.
AT this point the recess was ordered.
After the IntermissiOn.
Mr.. Wilson, following up his argument, said
that the next point In regard TO tho testimony
Of Walsh that he wished to direct attention to
were the attempts of Walsh at correcting his
testimony. lie came back twice, and then tho
counsel asked him II thore were amy othor
corrections to make and Walsh said "No.'
Mr.. Wilson questioned him and found out
n Htna'q
out that the error In the figures was made by
himself. When pressed on that point, and
asked why he did not correct his statement, ho
said that 1t was Mr.. Hines place to do 1t,
although he knew that Mr.. Hines mouth was
scaled.
What excuse had Walsh given for keeping
silent about General Brady's alleged walking
on with his notes? From December 90, 1880,
up to the time he went before the Grand Jury,
Walsh said that he hud told the transaction to
no one. Then he came back and said he had
told Mr.. Woodward. When Walsh brought his
suit, why did he not communicate the fact
about the notes to his counsel, who were
bound TO keep the secret inviolate? walsh's
statement was preposterous and beyond be-
lief, and the lawyer did not see how any ono
could come to any other conclusion than that
WaIsh's Testimony Was II MOnstrOus
This was not the testimony to send men to the
penitentiary on. 1t would not do. II Walsh's
testimony had applied to the charges III tho
Indictment 1t would not do to send men to the
penitentiary on. Where was the first item Of
evidence that one OF these contractors paid
General Brady q farthing?
Mr.. Merrick wanted to know why the defense
did not bring Kellogg and Price there. The
Court said thoy could not do 1t. Walsh had
mentioned Peterson, and they brought him
and put him on the stand and then
The Government Objected

Then when 1t came to the argument the coun.

What was Walsh's motive In testlfying lin
this case? He had this suit In New York, In
which General Brady had answered that he
never owed him dollar, coming on, and II he
