SQUIRT said he had no personal knowledge of
speculation by senators or representatives.
He had heard no congressman say he was

Senator Vest say that senator or mem

Francis G.. Newlands, of Nevada, testi-
fed that he had made little money out
OF silver speculation. No senator, repre-
sentative or officer of the government
was interested with him, directly or indi-
rectly.
Joseph X. Richey, of Fulton, No., testi-
ned that he was a banker, and last spring
purchased silver for speculation. No one
was interested with him, and he knew
nothing of speculation by others.
Senator Vest said, in part, that neither
directly nor indirectly did he ever at any
time have any interest in silver, and he
knew nothing whatever about it of his
own knowledge. One of his colleagues
told him after the resolution for the in
vestigation was introduced that he was in

managed the matter for him Cameron
said Littler came TO him and told him he
could make some money buying silver.
