CHECK WAT TER
IS EXPLAINED.
Judge Goocl1 and Colonel Button
Fully Agree, and Tell How
Tender Came About.
MOTIVES NEVER lMPUGNEDI
Governor and Others Think
Order OF Engrossment Sllotld
Not Be Disturbed.

Some matters were brought out before
the committee investigating the question
OF the alleged tampcrilN with meas,irea
before the General Assembly. were widely
discussed about the Capitol yesterday.
but no one seems to think anything
done was prompted by any improper mo-
lives.
Judge w. S. Gooch fully explained the
circumstances under which he was
handed check for SOS, after holding
back a bill for several days by request
and he has never thought the money
was offered him in tho nature OF re-
ward
He was asked by Colonel Button, at
the Instance of Mr. a. A. Campbell Of
Wythe, one of the attorneys for the
South and Western Railroad Company
to hold one OF the companion bills of
the road until another could get to the
Governor. He acceded to the request and
found that he had enrolled the bill on
n sheet with another which was ready
for the Governor and which had no refer
.ence to the South and Western. He cut
them apart and let the latter bill go
forward. This necessitated the re-enroll-
ment of the South and Western bill
which he held, and he did the work per-
sonally Colonel Button did hand him
u check for s25, signed by Mr.. Campbell
as payment for the extra work in re-
copying the detached bill.
Motives Not Impugned.
IL mas never been alleged before the
committee that improper motives promp-
ted any part Of the transaction.
Colonel Button. Clerk Williams and
Judge Gaoch all fully understand the
matter, and explain 1t in most salts
factory manner.
Colonel Button says he mentioned to
Mr.. Campbell that the extra work was
being imposed upon Judge Gooch. and II
occurred to him that the enrolling clerk
ought to be compensated for his extr.,
work.
Before leaving the city Mr.. Campbell
handed Colonel Button the check, and the
latter offered II to Judge Gooch with
the result already told.
Here the matter ended and both Judge
iooch and Colonel Button testified to
all the circumstances before the COM
mittee
Judge Wickham arose In the Senate
yesterday and stated that the testimony
1efore the committee did not justify the
headlines in yesterdays Times-Dspatch.
Mr. r. I. Gregory made u similar
tatement for the committee in the House.
While no one regards the mattN Sc
iously in the light of explanations. yet
here are those who do not think the
rider OF the bills should be disturbed.
Governor Swanson is one of them. He
aid yesterday that the bills should be
In their regular order and sent
p to him to determine in what order they
hould be signed.
