TO the Editor Of the News and
Courier: Please pardon a few words
in answer to Senator Cole l.. Blease
In his recent remarks in the State
Senate with reference to my tcsti-
mony before the winding-up commits
sion.
The absurdity of the charge of
conspiracy as made by Mr.. Blcasc
must be apparent, but there may be
some conditions not understood by
all. Neither Capt. Smyth nor my
self was a supporter OF Governor
Ansel in the recent campaign. For
myself, though | had the highest per-
sonal regard for him, I differed with
him on the issues Of the campaign
and voted for another.

members OF the investigating com
m1ttee. Having been excused by the
investigating committee from answer
ing the question then, it certainly
would have been improper and incon-
sistent for me subsequently to have
rushed into print to mako public
statements which | had asked the
Legislative committee to excuse me
from making before them. Having
boon excused then from disclosing
the parsonage referred to by Mr..
Lanahan, | was not called upon to
note any denial by him that Mr.
Blcasc was the person referred to.
1T will be noted, however, that MI.
lIanahan never denied any part of
the conversations referred to by me
in my testimony. He merely denied
that he had told me that Mr.. Blease
represented him, which at that time
{ had not testified to before the com
mittee, because, as stated, I had been
excused.
Mr.. BleaSe certainly surprises me,
however, in his statement to the cf-
feet that he had no idea that | re-
ferred to him in my statements be-
fore the investigating committee.
When | testified in June, 1906, Mr..
I4anahan had been advised OF my
having been Subpocnacd and of the
necessity Of my tcstifying to my con
vcrsation with him if the Court de-
creed that ! should do so; further
more the attorneys representing Mr..
4 ISNnpD had lNnnh n1utnAJ NO
fore | testified OF the purport of my
testimony.
AS the intimacy between MI. BleaSc
and Mr.. Evans was well known, ]
had presumed that it had been com
municated to Mr.. Blcasc what my
testimony would be.
' This %prccaution was confirmed in
my own mind by statements OF Mr..
BlCaSc to me. On the evening Of my
testimony, whilst Mr.. IlaynswOrth
and were supping together at
Wright's Hotel, Mr.. Bleasc, who had
been taking shipper at a table some
distance away, stopped at our table
a moment, and after expressing his
approval OF the position | had taken
with reference to tcStiryinB said in
effect that he was familiar with all
the facts with regard to the employ
mont Of The party referred to by me
by Mr.. Lanahan; that he had no
apologies to make TO anyone for vot-
ing to excuse me from giving the
name, but that in justice to the party
referred to he wanted to say That
