Mr.. Bailey contended that the order Of
the Senate made before Christmas was that
the record should be printed In full. eX'

might agree to omit it.

steps in the case, and that for that reason

the direction indicated. Colonel Sims has
shown no disposition to push the ease and
has never been before the committee, either
