was stopped hy MI. Solomon, who l.
the agent OF the Big Creek Disabling

which the committee has held up.
These are accounts due BY the o!s-
psnsary. We have had scne conver-
sssion about this matter before anc
he renewed the conversation Ghere
sld wished me to give bin some oe-
finite Information about when We
could reach it.

Mr, Solomon. Mr.. Backs face sto~-
ed decided az GER and he used 20 ns
very insulting language towards ne.
He said that be understood that

private iife-aud things OF that kind,
and that it was his purpose to XII me

was a person In bis company with a
blue suit Of clothes, red mustache ano
straw hat. While be was making h.s
threats against me and daring me tc
investigate his # sirs be also USED very
violent language against Senator
Christensen, which / suppose vas IL
