2 ~ J. u !.
"a AUSTIN, TEX, February 1.-THE leg
islative committee appointed to invesu-
gate charges preferred. against United
States Senator Joseph w. Bailey to-day
gave audience to Congressman Robert
Henry.
Mr.. Henry testified that OH April 90.
1900, he met Senator Bailey, at the re-
quest Of the latter, who was returning
from st. Louis. Bailey told Henry he
had heard that an effort was making to
send an expansions, delegation to Con-
gress, and he wanted Hcnry's assistance
to prevent it. This was ontlthe train be-
tween Hillsboro and Waco Texas.
Continuing. Mr.. Henry Said: s"I in
vited Mr. Bailey to stop over at Waco.
SO we could talk 1t over at leisure
He did SO and went to hotel with ME.
The next morning Mr.. Bailey asked me
about the Waters-Pierce Oil Company
suits. He told me lat David r.
Francis had asked him to do what he
could to have this case dismissed, and
he had consented to do what he could
in a friendly way. Mr.. Bailey told
me that Mr.. Pierce would be willing
to make settlement Of the suits,
and replied that such course would
be entirely satisfactory, IL the terms
of the settlement could be agreed upon
by all parties concerned"
Agreed Upon Terms.
Mr.. Henry stated that he summoned
Judge Scott and County Attorney Cullen
+. Thomas to q conference the next
morning and It was then decided that If
the Waters-Pierce Oil Company would
pay $4,000 to the State and So, 900 to Henry
e. StribblinC, who were employed to as
sist in the prosecution, the suits would
be dismissed.
At conference held later the witness
said. Mr.. Pierce stated that in consd-
Grafton Of the settlement he would expect
to have the felony cases against him
dismissed.
''Mr. Thomas refused to agree to this,
and supported him in that refusal. and
this is the real reason why the settles
ment suits fell through said Mr.. Henry.
The witness declared that Mr.. Bailey
wired Mr.. Stribbling to meet him In
Hillsboro; that on account Of Mr.. Strih-
bling being sick, Mr.. Henry met Bailey
instead; that Bailey told him he was go
ing on to Austin, and stopped In Waco
Only at his earnest solicitation, and the
conference about the Waters Pierce Oil
Company was held after they reached the
hotel In Waco.
