ness. AS ne approached the desk the
general said, apparently to himself:
II am murderer and for gain. am
murderer and for gain" This he re-
peated several times in an absent
minded way. He did not appear to no
tice the witness.
EaEan Himself Testifes.
Gen. Eagan himself was the next wit
ness. He said he entered the volunteer
army in 1861 and in 1866 was made a
second lieutenant in the regular army.
He then briefly gave history Of his
military career, which included several
campaigns against the Indians. He re-
ceived wound in the Modoc war for
which. he received brevet. During the
war with Spain he had been in his office
every day with oneexception. and had
worked early and late. He had given
his testimony before the commission
unde1y oath-preferably SO. He had
first read Gen. Miles statement in the
Washington papers. For long time he
feared that he might not be called be-
fore The commission. but he finally re-
ceivea q summons toappear. Even then
he was not fully prepared. as his state
ment necessarily involved the prepara-
ton of records.e tic. lie had held n
conversation with the secretary of war
in the course of which he told the sec
retary that he desired to defend himself
by bringing proceedings against Gen.
Miles. but was told that the immunity
granted bv tbepresident would prevent
as a fact, but he did not think that this
immunity covered, the newspaner i'm
terview in which Cen. Miles had bv in
ference declared him to be a murderer
for gain. Witness said he became
greatly excited. This statement of
Gen. Miles, in the opinion of the wit
ness, had taken away his (Eagan's)
character. He could not proceed
against Gen. Miles in the courts or
otherwise and he felt that he MIGHT
better be dead in the gutter. During
this recital Gen. Eaoan's eyes filled
with tears his voic~ tren,hled and ba
spoke very feelinply. His honor as a
soldier, he continued. had been at
tackled and soldiers honor should be
as sacred as the honor of a woman.
He had kept his sorrow to himself. He
had kept away from the clubs. and very
soon he found he could not sleep. He
felt that the people of this country had
come to believe that he was y dishonest
man. ssBut l am an honest man. said
the general, with feeling, land be-
lieye iisat o one who knows me will be-
ieve that ! am dishonest man. My
record is clean, my uniform is unsul-.
lied, but have been slandered and
wronged."
In answer to question by his coun-
sci as to whether he had ever received
any benefit for any contract he had
made Gen. Eagan said, with great feel
ing: mo, on my honor and before my
God not one cents profit or gain did /
ever receive, and yet my office has dis
bursed $190ooooO and am now poor
man, so poor that l have not now suf-
ticient money with which to pay your
fee"
As he (Eagan) understood public,
sentiment the public believed him to
be murderer and for gain, and he
was greatly racked in body and brain
in consequence. He was goaded to
death and was very glad of chance
to appear before the commission and
through them 10000, 900 of people in
the defense of his honor.
