His throat troubled him and before the be.
ginning of his speech he requested an en-
ploye of the house to bring him q cup OF
beef tea. From time to time he had this
sent back and replenished. Watson's as
sertions that he had told a page to bring
more whisky" was untrue, for he never
said it. When whisky was brought by a
page for baaf tsa and placed on his desk hs
didn't know. He was too much engaged al
tho time in the argument to notice who
placed it on his desk. Cobb acknowledged
that whisky was brought him during the
course of the evening by some friend, but
only to relieve his throat. II it affect ed
him in voice or manner he was not con-
sclous of it. He had drank little beer
during the day. When the whisky was
put before him he slipped it two or three
times, and when he concluded his remarks
took another sip. bpt was not made drunk
by it. After a sharp colloquy between
