came into the cases. didn't know him, aud
had nothing to say to him, Gibson had had
several conversations with mo about suit
for all extra months pay. He formulated my
conversations in writing and presented them
to Bliss. Gibson then asked mo to say TO
Bliss that what he had written down was
about what had said. / replied that If II
won relieve him of any embarrassment

There was q general family quarrel after
ward hGtwcon tho government lawyers. Cook
and Gibson wanted to take the Prescott and
Santa Fc rontc, and Bliss wanted to take tho
Dorsey cases. Somehow Bliss became preiu-
diced against me and went into print. Later
he told me that ho expected to take up the
Prescott and Santa Fe case aud said he
wanted mo to go before grand jury. SAID
would obey q summons
Mr.. Walsh then began review of Mr..
BLISS testimony before tho committee, and
contradictcd the attorneys statement that
the Prescott and Santa I'o case depended on
his testimony. lie said thtro were other
witnesses that could have been called. The
witness said: "Bliss puts me in the attitude
of committing PERJURY to convict myself"
Ho continued: II had II talk with Mr..
Merrick at ono time and told him what testi-
mony had given to the grand jury relative
to the Kellogg case. Mr.. horriCk replied
that Bliss had not informed him of tho
nature of the testimony. He said, George
Bliss is q id scOuudrel,' and replied
that there was no difference of opinion be-
tween us. When before Hutchinson's grand
jury ] got into o most hostile atmosphere.
The case against Kellogg was so strong that
comment is unnecessary. That was the time
Bliss said it was serious thing
to indict United States senator.
| recognized that tho defendants were
we'll represented before tho jury. One jury
man named Trusdalo was very impertinent,
and resortcd to u rigid crosS-eXamination. L
think the effort on the part of the grand jury
was to discredit me before the petit jury and
the country. had my papers there, but tho
jury did not seem to want them, and when
Bliss remarked that it was serious thing to
indict senator, ] thought the men knew
their business. There was enough evidence
| before that jury to make one hundred indict-
mcnts. Ii the government i'll the future
have to be extraordinary men,"
Mr.Walsh said ho was aiterward invited
by Mr.. Morrick to appear before grand jury.
1Io continued, 81 refused if tho government
was to be represented in tho grand jury room
by Bliss. lle was not an honest man, and US
much of defendant AS any of the defend
| ants at the bar i doubted the honesty of the
administration. have never yet heard of
any statement of the administration in favor
| of tho prosecution. The prosecution
nevor had the moral support of the President.
| cNeagh has said that.
IL have beon harsh on Mr.. Brewster.
! From what | have learned. | am satisfied that
| have traated him unfairly in the past and
have not done him justice. l am willing to
apologies. He was entangled, and George
Bliss is responsible for entangling him"
| Mr.. Walshs testimony was continued for
more than three hours. Ho will appear
before the committee again to-day.
