Newbold, both of the Twelfth ward. were present to testify. Mr. Isbell re- piled that MT. Warner was confined to his home on account of illness and that MT. Newbold was out of town. Asked by Chairman Harrison if they would be able to appear before the committee next Friday night at [ o'clock MT. Isbell stated that he did not know positively, but that he thought so.
 Chairman Harrison then handed the following letter. which the committee had received from Colonel Ullman, to Attorney Woke to read:
 July 20, 1904. To Hon. Lynde Harrison, Henry w.
 Rogers and George B. Martin, Com
 nittee os Investigation of the New
 Haven Police Department:
 Gentlemen: My attention has just been called to question which was asked by one of your number on Thursday last of several witnesses who appeared before your committee at that time, which had particular reference to myself. Except for my absence from the city. I would have given this mat ter my earlier attention.
 The question propounded to the witt nesses was substantially as follows: Have you heard that prior to the eau GUS or primaries Colonel Ullman and Commissioner Ullman went about putt ting money into saloons?
 To this question each of the wit nesses inquired of answered that he had heard such rurnor. One of the witnesses, however, had the decency, I find. to say that he, personally, did not believe 1t. The conduct of some Of the other witnesses to whom this in quiry was put has been such during this investigation that I hardly expect ed anything in the way of fairness from them.
 My reason for addressing your body at this time, however, is not for the purpose of seeking a quarrel with the honora ble gentlemen who are behind this investigations moved as they are simply by the purest motives of love for the good government of their city, for they say they are, and who is there that, knowing them and their political motives and methods, that would think or questioning lhls sldLefnenLf put 10 enter my protest against bringing my name into the investigation in this manner.
 At the very outset, I desire to state that the implication contained in the question, so far as I am personally concerned, and believe it applies to Commissioner ullman as well, is ab- solutely and unqualifiedly untrue and could have been originated only by a man or by men who would not come forward openly and take the responsi- bility of making this statement under oath or under such circumstances as would permit of an opportunity to show not only the falsity of the statement, but it's maliciousness as well.
