with whom he wished to communicate on
matters OF vital importance.
Sir Charles Russell quoted from a letter
written by Pigott to Archbishop Walsh
May II. Witness said he could not say
what the latest proposition in the letter
meant. He was only making one propo-
sition, namely, that he had been shown
compromising letters. His opinion hav-
ing been asked as to the genuineness of
the letter he had stated that the letters
credited to Parnell were rather doubtful.
This statement created a sensation in
the court room.
He stated that he would not swear he
had not told Archbishop Walsh that the
letters were forgeries. Laughter. He
doubted the authenticity of the letters
because he did not know the handwriting
of the bodies of them. He believed he
told Archbishop Walsh he thought the
Egan letters were genuine, but would not
swear he did. He was not sure whether
Houston ever expressed doubts as to the
g%enuineness OF the letters. Ii was not
owing to Houston's doubts that witness
offered to reobtain the money.
Sir Charles Russell read from a letter
to Archbishop Walsh from Pigott in
which he said: II trust your grace will do
me the Justice to believe | am not the
tabricator of the letters, as is falsely al
legged. lie also stated in the letter that
Egan would see if he (Pigott) published
the statement that he would get $500 and
that whatever the consequences might be
he would be compelled to accept the offer
unless Egan assisted him. On March IL
Egan replied that he regarded the letter
as a threat and declined to pay anything
even if he could.
Pigott admitted that he misspelled
"hesitancy' in the witness box Yesterday.
He believed the knowledge that the letter
of Jan. 9, 1882 was similarly ~misspelled.
The word had influenced his mind. This
letter did not come into his possession I'M
til the summer Of 1886, so he could not
account for the misspelling of the word
"hesitancy." In his own letters prior to
that after Parnell had declined to employ
him on the staff of the freshman he
asked a priest named Meagher to inter
cede with Parnell.
Sir Charles produced witness letters to
Meagher and pointed out further res en-
blances to the Times letters. He then
asked witness If he was not ashamed of
himself.
Pigott replied: Under the circum-
stances, no. 1t is scandalous that |
should be thus questioned. | did not
forge the letters. If | did l should not
be- here"
Sir Charles Russell produced letter af-
ter letter including Pigott's for a loan of
E2OO to enable hun to go to Australia
until witness became dazed and forgot
everything.
The commission then adjourned.

ming business in the house at 10 o'clock

that the house should be devoted to the
consideration OF appropriation bills and
the California contested election case.
The committee Gu rules reported a r%esolu-
ton for the immediate consideration of
the senate bill granting a pension to Mrs.
