10 this. @ leman tben said it was ueces-
sary IL should be proved thht General
Keller had made charges aganst General
Boynton There was nothing in tle reso-
lltion which brought tho charges before |
tlc committee. When II was proved that !
charges had been made, ben General /
Keller would be in u pos ton ~
prove tho truth of the charges. The |
committee, however, was unanimous in the |
opinion that IN Ss much as General Keller |
had preferred charges, boln in the house |
and in private letters, they were fully set |
forth and within the jurisdiction Of the !
commi tee. Coem An said he as umed ths,
Ia view of this decision tae burden OF proof
was upon General Kelfer 10 substgntiAte
before the committee the charges made |
against Boynton. He was able 10 prove the |
facts set forth IN the resolutions. In doing |
so, however, there would be involved the |
taking OF a deal OF testimony. He wished the |
Witnesses to be here before he proceeded |
with the case. He had witnesses in New |

that at the interview when The supposed |
a tempt TO Dribe Keller was made there was
nobody present except Keifer ana Boyntou. |
What he wanted TO know was how u L. |
man could procure any witnesses before |
the committee that could enlighten the
committee in regard to the alleged CONVEX
s.ton. Coleman replied that nc might |
prove General Boynton had said TO others
that he had made statements to General
Keiier. Adams inquired whether it would
not be more reguisr to prove the 81 atement |

a witness IN Ohio which stated he could not
come owing to the illness OF his wife; out
