her to get out; he was near the folding door
leading into the hall; when she went out
she passed the chair where the Mayor had
been sitting; before sae went out she talked
to every person In the room; am satisfied
the Mayor was
NEVER OUT OF MY SlGHTJ
he could not be out Of the girls sight before
he went into the hall; Capt Smith drank
.liuuor-whisky-in Godtrey's saloon; he
drank with all of ~; don't know how
often he drank; think two or three times;
he drank every time anybody else drank;
the whole party drank; my two officers did
not drink whisky; Captain Smith and |
stood together; Hamilton was on the Other
side; that is one Of the places where
the Captain said he would rather have
whisky than beer; he said the same in
some of the houses; would rather have
had whisky myself / don't thiak be
drank beer at that time; he drank beer in
every house We we're 10; no. don't think
he missed it; l remember of bis drinking
beer in the negro house; and in nearly ell
ofthem; be refused in the negro house and
in Daisy Hutchinson's; why, certainly, he
drank in
ALMOST ALL THE HOUSES;
in the negro house, in Maud Chestars, In
! Daisy Hutchinson's, in Mamie Tay lor s,
and in almost all; don't know how much
he drank; there was as much there as any
body wanted; he would drink on the first
round and refuse on the second; in some
CT the houses Smith drank. in some Grub,
in some Hamilton, in some Stanley; there
was no house in which some members OF
the party did not drink gsvs stste-
ment to Mr.. Frew; he wrote it and die
tated; l did not swear to it; would If ne
had asked me; have no copy,
Mr.. HubbaGd-Would you like to see the
originslH
Col White-Yes.
The paper was handed to Mr. White.
Witness--I dictated it, and he wrote il
down; he wrote down the charge; you read
it to me and I'll tell you what part die
tated; think the charges ere there; Mr.
Frew could tell you how he come TO write
them; it was in my office; won't say pos
itivsly the charges are On the paper; !
think they are.
Paper handed to witness to examine.
I'll shoulder all outside of that first part;
the charges are not there; my memory is
at fault as to the charges; ! was not alto
gether certain. I'll stang up to what is
there; all Of It is my language except the
fret sentence; that is his; read it of and
III inform you wha, is mine; I'll show you
why l signed it; the part which says the
trip was at the instance of Chief Smith is
wrong; / did not know what Mr.. Frew
wanted it for, did not know Mr. FfeE was
one of The propFletors of the Inteligencer;
he wanted the truth and gave it to him; !
signed the paper ,sndifyou had come to me 1
would have done the same; the Mayor
introduced him as Mr.. FreW, from Wheel
ing; he asked me about the charges; he
had paper; that was In the morning; he
came back in the evening and wrote it in
my office; he did not tell me what he
wanted with the paper; he said he was a
friend Of the Mayors; that is all be said;
WILL ONLY TAKE BACK
at tka instance OF Chief Smith," all The
rest is true; Mr. FFev wrote those words;
not at my 6ic at on; might hsV, said so;
the Chief did want to go; tell you what i
mean; yon can ask me from now till to
morrow morning, and / won'tEsy anything
