by a son OF J. c. Mcmillan, "a prominent
banker of Oakland, and contained a
party of five Oakland visitors The
Grays met the automobile on the bridge
and Mr.. Gray got out to hold the horses
head while the other vehicle passed. The
hCrse became unmanuge;Lble and backed
off into the stream, falling on top OF

over the ground and examining every

Before leaving he had long conference

During this conference full discus

Cheatham insisted that the Secret Serv-
ice agent call to see Thedore Price
tefore leaving the city for the purpose
OF finding cut what connection. he had
with the case, If any ,as his name had
been mentioned in one of the letters

was Informed by the Secret Service
agent that he had not been able to
secure any evidence from anyone that
would in sac least connect Mr. Price
with the affair, and that he had been
told by Mr.. Haas that he. Haas. did not
krow Mr. Price and had not any con-
lection with him in any way. Up to the
time that Mr.. Cheatham left New York
he vas Informed by the Secret Service
the reason above stated and would not
do SO. as It was his opinion that 1t
would be useless. as he had not been
able to secure any evidence that would
i'm nplicate Mr.. Price.
Up to the time the Secret Service
closed its report Mr.. Cheatham remain

able Mr.. Cheatham stated that he
failed to learn of any new facts. or

Cheatham was very much surprised
when he first noticed IN the report given
out by Secretary Wilson to the press
the name of Theodore Price mentioned
So prominently in connection with the
case, as he did not know Of any evi-
dence having been presented or secured
by any one that would warrant the use
OF Mr.. Prices name in connection with
