al exact quotation from. the letter to
the committee.
He Was Acquitted.
As TO the two men killed. one met
his end in a quarrel over a town site.
and Daniels was not even indicted.
Daniels was indicted for killing his
second man. but his fellow-cltizens &C
Quilted him.
Finally, the President pointed out that
Daniels was q Rough Rider and RE
peatedly in battle. so the letter ran,
the writer had occasion to station
Daniels in extra hazardous places
where he acquitted himself with con
spicuous gallantry."
Withdrew Appointment.
The President appointed Daniels to
office once before. only to withdraw the
appointment on learning OF the peniten-
tiary record. although he had known
OF the two killings. AT that time he
called In Daniels TO reproach him with
having concealed the penftentiary part
OF his record.
Senator Knox. who was present at
that interview told the Senate Jude
iary Committee about fl. Daniels. ac-
cording TO Senator Knox, earnestly IN
sisted that he had not intended 10 con-
ceal anything from the President. but
he had clean forgotten" the peniten-
tiary business. The President then for
gave Daniels On the ground that he
had told the truth, and again nominal
ed him for office.

does not take the view OF the matter
