Of the anonymous letters that have
been introduced in the investigation
of the Electric Boat Company" said
Representative George Lilley. under
whose resolution the investigation Is
being conducted, while David N. N.

t%estifying. "The four documents which
Mr.. Carvalho says were written on the

nous letters, we're submitted to me
by an agent Of the Lake Torpedo Boat
Company. I signed them and sub.
mitted them to the committee. They

Handwriting experts were called
Saturday before the special committee
OF the house which is investigating the
charges brought by MI. Lilley of Con-
nectfcut, that members Of the house
had been improperly Influenced by the
Electric Boat Company in the matter
of submarine boat legislation. Chair
man Boutell stated at the outset of
the session that of the many charges
brought before the committee the most
serious was that corrupt means had
been used to secure or defeat nomina-
ton and election of members of the
present congress.
Such a charge reflects upon the
integrity Of the house and deserves
the most exhaustive examination by
this committee" he said. 1.-THE only
case Of the kind which the testimony
has disclosed is the cowardly attempt
that has been made, partly through
anonymous letters, to blacken the
name and ruin the career of Repre-
sentative Loud of Michigan. AS no
one has had the courage to admit the
authorship of these %dastardly commu-
nications this committee feels that the
burden has been laid upon it to dis
cove if possible the authorship of
these communications" /,
MI. Boutell stated that the letters
had been turned over to experts and
he then called David H. Carvalho to
the stand.
MI. Carvalho said he had examined
the two letters in question, one re-
ceived by a Washington correspondent
n the other by Frank scarborough,
a state senator from Michigan, and
now a candidate for congress against
Mr.. Loud. He also had examined q
great many of the typewriter docu-
ments and compared them with the
anonymous letters, taking photographs
n preparing charts showing his de-
auctions.
