Cable stock, which they represented they

eighteen shares of other cable stocks owned
by him. A few months later, he ordered
them to buy some Texas and Colorado
Improvement certificates, which they de-
hvered him, and he deposited 100 addi-
tional shares of cable stock as margin.
The firm subsequently called for more
margins. He gave Belt Line railroad
bonds and Texas Improvement Company
certificates. Sheever testified that the
firm never bought Western Union or
cable stock, but it was entered in the books
by Ward as purchased. The firm hypothe-

THE SPRINGER COMMITTEE.
Looking Into the Characser Of Hawy
Ca0E

Cook.
= WASHINGTON, June 2S.-At meeting
of the Springer committee to-day, Gen.
ID. G. Swain and Gen. III. Y. Eeynton
were called to corroborate the Testimony
given by Woodward and afterward CON
tradicted by Cook. Gen. Swain said thas
from the reputation OF Cook he DID moi
think he ought to have been employed
He could not remember positively, but
had an impression that e President. .had
been informed of the character OF Cook
1t was Cooks reputation that the Presi
dent had objected to. The President wal
in a delicate position, and could not take
the inquiry out of the hands of the men
to whom it had been intrusted, but hs
would urge the employment OF men above
reproach. The subject OF the removal O.
Cook was frequently referred to by the
President.
Gen. H. V. Boynton testified that imme
diately after Cooks employment e asked
tie President if it were true that Cool
had been employed as government coun
sd. The President replied that he hat
nd ..ss4saintance with Cook, and asked
witness te go to the Attorney-Gencral anc
INFORM him of Cooks general character
The President characterized the employ
ment of Cook as an outrage upon him
Witness had an interview with MacNeagh
and the latter said Cook was employed or
the theory of "setting thief to each q
thief" The Attorney-Generdl said he
knew all about Cook, and he had EN-
ployed him before, and knew just what
he was. As witness understood, Cool
was employed in detective capacity, and
was not intrusted with any of the secrets
of the case at all. The Attorney General
stated very positively that was the nature
of Cooks employment.
