such intervention, knowing that outrage

forty eight hours, for the first time since

when he became very angry on the cross
examination by Senator Garfield. de
denied that he was party to any con-
spiraoy in getting up the Boyce- Holien-
back story about the bribery Of RepTesen-
tative Otis. When Senator Garfield told
the witness he need not reply to anything
that would incriminate himself, Meyers
became intensely enraged and Chairman
Burke had difficulty in proceeding with
the inquiry.

state railway commissioner, testified u
following Hollenbeok from Columbus TO
Cincinnati He told about shadowing
him from the Neil house to the Columbus
depot, watching his movements on the
