up friendly associations with Stolling,
as before. Didn't show the Opera HOUSE
note 10 my cousin, John NJ. Harr; can
say Just how many drinks l had taker
before l started out with Stollings
probably two or three. My object wat
70. get the money II I could: did moi
think II was necessary 10 put In my
statement that he offered me the Mine
Inspectorship ; that offer may DC In that
statement, but ! can't remember exact.
ly. I mean the offer made Last night,
When | went back down town, after
walking with Stollings, I went into a
saloon and met Stollings there, and we
started together for the Capitol; there
we parted to meet this morning. When
we met l did not follow him 10 get the
money, because l thought he wouldn't
give 1t to me. had no time to make nm
arrangement with him to get the money.
The Senate was just coming into the
hall ofthe House. - Sa-0 q.
VERY CONTRADICTORY.
! thought he wouldn't give the money
until the vote was cast; didn't think that
1wasinjuring myself by hanging around
after him. He did say last night that a
certain man would meet me here at the
Capitol last night. He did not say that
he would pay half In advance. He was
to pay all at once. In my statement
believe II says that 10 was to pay half;
l don't know exactly, what is In the
statement in regard 10 that; he wasn't
TO pay, me anythiag until after the vote
was cast; don't remember that he said
he would fix 1t for half to be paid in ad.
vance. II 1t is SO stated in my statement
1t Is not correct, the same as the other
mistakes that We're made. l had no
idea that could get hold OF the money.
l read that paper and signed it.
You read it through; didn't you?
Yes, sir. 5fI g. I,-.m.
You saw those untruths In it, didn't
you, and knew that they were in il?
You presented it to the Joint Assembly
on your honor as Il member of that
Assembly, didn't you2 T7
Yes, sir. w .t r@t
Why did you do that?
l didn't have time to correct the mis-.
takes, as had stated it to Senator Carr.
The paper is incorrect when it saws
Stolllngs showed me large roll Of
money; it is incorrect when it says
Stollings said he would consult friends
and sec II he couldn't arrange to pay me
half in advance; it is incorrect when 1t
fails to state that part OF the considera-
ton was to be the Mine Inspectorship.
The man I was to meet was Mr.. Ford,
and | was to let him know. met him
this morning. He wanted to know
whether would vote for Golf. l told
him probably, but I didn't know ior
snre. Ford offered me position rs
Mine Superintendent. That was not this
morning? Yes, I testified that Stollinys
went to get the money last night, SO
there would be no doubt about it. Mr..
Ford said this morning that he would
DO what he could for me. met Sem
ator Carr last night ut 12 o'clock, near
the Rutfner House. We went to Swarrz's
and drank two beers. Delegates Garden
and Cochran were with us. ,sE
HAKR DOES NOT ANSWER.
Mr.. Hubbard-Because you bad not
time to tel! the truth you presented that
untruth; is that your only reason j?
Harr did not reply and Eat confused.
Mr.. Hubbard-ls that your only rea-
son?
Mr.. Harr-What was that?
Mr.. Hubbard-Put it again, against the
objection Of Col. st. Clair as TO the indie.
cency Of the question.
Mr. Hubbard-Will you answer that
question, please? You understand it,
don't you?
Mr.. Harr-Yes sir, L understand it.
When looked over it | had not time to
correct the statements.
Mr.. Hubbard-WelI, what is your rea-
son? Was it because you had not time
to tell the truth?
Col. Chew-I don't think the cues
ton is in proper form.
Mr.. Harr-l did not notice in nv
statement that Stollings had shown me
a large roll of money. I did not notice
the statement that Stollings had "again"
offered 81 800. l don't know when he
did offer it before. l meant he had Of
iered 81 900 and the Mine Inspectorship
before. That would amount to more
than Sl,S00. Last night was the first
time he made the offer. He may have
offered it twice last night I meant that
be offered it twice last night.
Mr.. Hubbard-Within five minutes
you told me that you did not remember
any such thing. Isn't that so?
MIR. Harr-Yes, that is SO. Am &C.
qaainted with Judge Fleming, but not
very we'll. l know the gentlemen who
represent him in this contest. Thought
it was not the proper time to inform
them about it.
Mr.. Hubbard-Explain why.
Mr. Harr-I thought maybe I could
get hold Of the money. Yes, I had con-
tidence in them. did consult with
John NJ. Harr, who is. II warm friend to
Fleming. 1 did that week or tw ago.
| mentioned it to him on the very day
or second day after the second interview
with Stollings. s mIga. iii

Joint Assembly. Ipropose to have wit
nesses here to corroborate Mr.. Harr.
