paper. Campbell certainly knew all about
it, for be introduced the bill. He vas the
only signef OF the paper before the people
for public of8ce, and his name should be
Published in connection with the srsnsac-
ton
About the only reason Halssead thought
Of At the time, Why the paper should not be
published in full, va because the name s.
s. Cox appeared on il. on the day Foraker
gave him the paper, Co.'s funeral bad take n
place. Ii would not do to use the names
Of Mckinley and Bu.fsssorth during the
campaign. HAlssead explained bis theory
Of the forgery. the motive he believed. vas
Woods extreme anriety TO get hold Of
smoke inspectorship. He vas certain the
paper never intended to hurt any one
II was utterly preposxrous to think Foraker
had any knowledge that il was forgery
And was certain Wood put Senator Sber-
mans name to the paper, to keep Foraker
from using it during the campaign. The
speech made BY Governor Campbell, At
Cincinnati, in which lie broughs out the
Topp letter, vas the direct cause of early
publication.
Halstssd vas recalled after recess, and
his examination occupied the balance Of the
evening. He read letter from Senator
sherman. urging him to expose (lhrough
the paper) all connected with the forgery.
AID handed to the committee all the corre.-
pondence whish passed between Foraker
and himself in connection with the matter
A letter was addressed to him by Gen
Grosvenor in connection with publishing
the forged lettors. Il was passed 10 tn
members of the committee and read, after
which Grosvenor objected to ii being put n
the record. Foraker, who had resd the
letter. insisted upon it going in the record.
After more discussion it vas decided by
The committee to determine in secret ses-
non. whether it should become part of The
record. When Foraker gave him (Hal- |
'tead) paper, and told him he had made all
the use of it he could and cautioned nim to |
be careful what use be made of it. He |
denied having any information direct or
Indirect duplicating Mckinley Butterw orth |
Sherman or others in the matter.
