ing scheme The outcome Of these interviews
was a refusal by Mr.. Atkins to re-license Cleve-
land. The witness several times referred to
interviews with Senator Vest. who, he
said, was interested in behalf of
Mr. Cleveland, but the committee
decided not to hear anything with regard to

called as a witness and allowed to tell his own
story. The witness, by instruction of his eli
ents, appealed the matter to the President. and
