Mrs. Penman calling on him the night be-
fore the killing with the story that Sulh-
van had taken improper liberties with her

A press reception will be given there to-
morrow, to which representatives of the
press of New York, Brooklyn and New
Jersey are invited. The indications are
that the reception will prove as great an
advertising success here as at other points

lack Of fresh green fruit, which would add

with Cullom at my right. | said he did
not dare to do what he had threatened.
As he came around towards me Faulkner
interposed. Cullom rose, moved towards
and placed his hands on Blackburn, who
at once stopped, and shortly resumed his
seat. Faulkner asked me to go on reading
the report l said that before doing so it
must be decided whether business was to
be again interrupted in the same way.
Blackburn, after some talk, said that he
would not say one word more during the
session of the committee that he would
apologize to Cullom, Plat and Faulkner,
but not to me. The reading of the report
by me then proceeded. The whole affair
occupied hardly more than minute. All
accounts which represent Blackburn as
pulling my ear, or dragging me from
chair, or hauling me unresisting about the
room, or represent me as begging protec-
ton of the committee, or as in any way
deprecating Blackburn's wrath are un-
true"
