that he has said.
Mr.. Ker, who was brought into the cases

after he had carefully studied the law and
had exhausted the documentary evidence, he
had applied to Col Bliss to find out what out

sustain the cases of the government; that
Bliss gave him the names of such witnesses as

him consult Cook
Mr. Mer1ick said that Mr. Cook

government for not being ready to 90 on
with the trial was that it had no money with
which to pay special counsel This excuse
was made in a letter signed by Atty. Gen.
Brewster, who announced that the
appropriation Tor paying the ices OF
attorneys was exhausted. Inc truth
