 endured since January 31 when made statement to the judge con corning the co-partnership agreement between Senator Mitchell and myself The last straw came, however, when l learned that the Federal grand jury was preparing to indict for perjury my son, who had written the agreement between Senator Mitchell and myself and when I learned that the agents of the government were in possession of facts proving that the document was not signed March 5. 1901. as I had sworn, but that 1t had been prepared and signed last December"
 Do you expect to testify against Senator Mitchell" was asked.
 Yes, expect to be called as a wit ness in the case against Senator Mitch- ell and I will tell the whole truth re- garding the business of the firm with out regard to consequences"
 When. on January 31, Judge Tanner went before the jury. he told a story which, according to his confession toe day, had been agreed upon in many of it's details when Senator Mitchell was in Portland December last. There was an agreement between himself and Senator Mitchell. who was not to re- ceive any return from firm work done and their agreement had been made on March 5, 1901.
 The government was in possession of evidence which varied from Judge Tan ner's testimony. and linking it togeth. CT.
