graphed TO one Of our old subscribers at
Belolt and the replies are in our paper OF
last week.
Q. That is all you know about thatS
A. No, cir, there was something more
In the conversatIon-a good many points.
The Ocala convention was mentioned and
some Of the facts in that meeting we're
brought up. McGrath said he was a
member of that committee and that no
had in his possession knowledge OF GER
tain things that would reflect upon the
National Alliance and the campaign OF
Ingalls, in this state; what they we're do
not know, but the manner In which he
spoke Of IL struck us that II was a threat
and that he held evidence Of that kind
that could be- used. / think that was
about all, or the conversation we had
until the letters were published. We
were in suspense and discussed the
matter pro and con In every possible
phase we could talk about. / thought
we we're doing the best for the case. /
spoke for myself and think the same
now. Mr.. McGrath took occasion TO
commend McGavran and said he thought
more Of him than ever for doing what he
had done. He said, "you know II / had
been Interested In this / would not have
been fool enough TO have these letters
come to this office, and that IL / had
been in anything Of this kind would
not have left orders that McGavrAn
should open my mail"
Q. You have given the glst Of the in
stances?
A. / have.
Q. Well, now, did you mean for the
good Of the Alliance or the Peoples
party2
A. Well, that could apply to both Nc
Grath being connected with the order,
which is the strongest factor Of the indie
pendent movement, and the discussion Of
the Alliance would be the discussion of
the independent movement.
Q. In word you mean the Alliance is
the Peoples movement
A. Yes, sir.
(By McGath.)
@. Is that all the proposition you
made meH Did you not make me an.
other proposition that there was none but
you FIVE and II / would make an expla-
nation as to why this letter should have
been written to me that you five would
keep the letter a secretY
A. Twin say yes. That is the con-
struCtion as far as my remembrance goes,
that If you would turn the letter over Il
would satisfy us.
Q. At any time was I asked for the
letter!
A. No.
