Vincent, also. When / sent for Chase
he went and got McLallin. do not re-

it Is for the best?" and they replied that
they did and went away. Some parties

called Brother MCGrath in and told him
about the letter.

A. think 10 was about 10 o'clock,
but II might have been a little later. /
did not look at the time, Brother Nc
Gavran made his statement. He stated
that In performing his duty he had been
compelled TO do what he called a breach
of confidence; that he had letter in his
possession that he would read. Brother
McGEAth said he did not know anything
about the letter, and he did not know
why Turner should write him such let
ter. We talked the matter over for a
long time and then adjourned, MCGav-
ran threw the letter on the table and said
II was not his letter, and II laid on the
table for some time. After a while
Brother McGrath picked the letter up
and put IL In his pocket, but In the mean
time he had gone and got another letter
with reference to some railroad construC-
tiou, the cost, ETC., which Brother Nc
Grath said he had asked him for When
Mr.. Turner was here he asked him the
question and he said he could not answer
them all here, but he would write him
from Washing and this letter was given
me and read il 10 the crowd
O. To whom was the last letter spoken
about directed, and what was its address?
A. / did not see the envelope.
O. Is that all you know about this
businessl

ence we had Mac up In the Office, here /
suggested that Brother McGrath should
clear himself by publishing the letter

Q. / understood you 30 say that al
that time you were not in favor Of
Immediate publlcationl
A. Yes, or.
q. Did McGrath make any suggestion
AZ 10 what be thought was the best 10 be
done with the letterY
A. Nothing farther than that he said
he believed that there had been some
person who had spoken with him.
@ Now m / understand II, did you
make any proposition 70 him In case he
should write his denial that you would
cover up tho manner In which II was re-
Colvedf Did you make amy such prpOsi-
tlon 10 himY
A. Yes, we told him that we thought
the best thing he could do was to direct
II 70 DO published and cover Il up by his
denial.
o. And some Of you, suppose, sug-
gested that you would cover up the
manner in which II was received
A. Yes, sir.
