Witness stated that he never assisted Shidy
in making false certifcations or in remarking
papers, except in one instance where the en-
tire board Of examiners concurred in the re-
marking. He never Influenced or attempted
to influence Shidy or any one else as to the
workings OF the local board Of examiners. He
believed the commission was misled by the
cunning and lack Of veracity Of Shidy. Shidy
was a lazy, indolent fellow-a man of dilatory
habits. Witness never knew of any meddling
with or illegal handling of the papers Of candi-
dates. Shidy had confessed to him that he was
inundated by the commission and especially
by Roosevelt.
This statement was greeted with laughter by
the committee and all others in the room, and
when it had subsidized witness went on to say
that Shidy told him, in the presence OF wit
nesses, that he had to cover himself, because if
the innocent blunders he had made in the
commission his removal would be recon-
mended.
THE CASE OF JOSIE WHITEHEAD.
Representative Lind then commenced an ex-
animation of the witness as to the case Of Josie
Whitehead, who had been, it was alleged, ap-
pointed first and certified afterward. Mr.. Paul
said that Nils Whitehead was given
temporary position in the money order
division, an unclassfied branch Of the service.
Some time later she was certified, having
passed an examination, and was appointed a
stamper. He could not be sure as to whether
there was one, two or three names on the GER
LITIGATION slip sent him by the board. He did
not know whether there were men on the
stamper's eligible list at that time or not. Miss
Whitehead was the only woman ever appointed
a stamper in the Milwaukee Office.
