He says he went over and told M.
: Kinney, who is his lawyer, and he sal
/ he made an appointment with me fo
| some succeeding day. Well, now, ger
tlemen, surely they could have .arrang
ed matters so as to have overhear
| anything that / might say on the SUE
ceeding day. If I were making a proT
osition of that character it was thei
duty to see that / was entrapped som
way so that the evidence would b
there against me.
Should Have Trapped Him.
Mr.. Kinney was informed of it, ac
cording to Colburn, and they coul
have arranged something so as to hav
got some more evidence so that j
would not have to depend, as it doe
depend now, on the unsupported wor,
of John T. Colburn. Mr.. Kinney knew
that nobody could be convicted on tina
unsupported word of any offense. Now
gentlemen, this occurred while I wa
in the Attorney General IS office. Mr.
Colburn informed Mr. Kinney and T.
this is outside, it is not in the paper
but / am informed by Mr. Thurstol
himself that Kinney told him of tht
transaction. Why WASH t something

filed with the Attorney General? TIL,
only answer can be that Mr.. Kinney
and Mr. Thurston took absolutely nj
stock in them, because if they did they
were not going to let me remain OF
there-doing the work, fulfilling the of
fee and having the powers that I die
have up there at that time.
Now, that is the only answer that
can be made to anything like that; al
legal friend of mine said, the only
defense possible is an alibi.
Have to Take His Word.
Well, it is too late for an alibi, be
cause this occurred / don t know how
many years ago. IF it had been
brought up then probably could have
proved an alibi You have got to take
my word for it, that / never went to
John Colburn s office and made him a
proposition of that kind in any way,
shape or form. (Applause.) I have
got now only the Chillingworth mat
ter. Now, gentlemen, that is another
case
Colburn Refused Recognition.
TAT this point Mr. John F. Colburn
endeavored to gain the recognition of
the chair, but was ordered by the
chairman to take his seat, as he was
out of order.
Chil1ingworth Affair.
Mr. Cathcart, continuing: Now, gen

stands on the same footing-it is some
hing that occurred a long time ago,
when. we don't know; there is no rec

it has got to stand just as it

laid that / had made proposition to

~ which plenty of money could be
made. Now that is all, and / asked
Mr.. Dole if there were any details of
INV kind. He couldn It remember any

Now, gentlemen, at that time I was

And now that will have to stand as
