streets were cleared. Today some so

MI ALall uldIs ipidA4lGu " -,
that question is another that requires
an explanation. ! do not want to eX-
plain all the time: I don't want to de-
lay the proceedings. II was also with
reference to his drawing up that af-
hdavit He had previously told me
that he did not see how the Cunning
ham group could get patents. Yet he
was doing this act toward securing
title for fraudulent claimants.
Although he was representing these
claimants and doing all he could to get
their patents, you say he told you
they could not get them?
Yes"
At the afternoon session Vertrees
called attention TO the fact that, in his
original testimony, CLAWS expressed
surprise that Special Agent Sheridan,
who succeeded him in charge of the
Alaska cases, should have reached the
same conclusion he had
why were you surprised?" demand
ed Nertrees.
Wen. he had letter of instructions,
and ] think they expected different re-
ports: otherwise they would not have
sent him out there"
Whom 90 YOU mean by they'?"
Whoever wrote that letter-Mr.
Schwartz.
Vertrees then read the letter into the
evidence.
In all the time you were in the serv-
ice and in charge OF the Alaska cases
did you feel that YOU had the conf
dence Of your superiors and did they
not so express themselves 10 you in
communications from time to timer"
asked Vertrees.
Yes sir" he said. hesitatingly.

But up TO the time of your meet

mittee in considering Ballingers case
May Explain Answers
Representative Graham interposed:
I don't blame Mr.. Vertrees for get
ting impatient at the constitutional
hesitation Of speech of the witness. but
the witness should be allowed 10 ex-
plain his answers"
Chairman Nelson said:
1t is apparent 10 me that almost
every answer made by the witness has
string 10 it. He has made no direct
answers. IF we were sitting in court
of justice under rules of evidence this
state Of affairs would not have been
permitted But we are moving along
without rules of evidence and the
chairman is powerless TO enforce any
rules.
Il want to say, however. the COM
mittee viii be able to Judge of the
facts produced in this case and the
only effect OF these long answers with
~ se
proceedings
Some idea of the latitude given to
CLAWS may be gained from the fact
that including the two sessions today.
the printed testimony Of this one wit
ness alone covers nearly 1000 pages.
Have Long WrangIes
Vertrees and Claws had several long
wrangles in the afternoon as to the
meaning Of many letters and tele-
grams.
Nertrees asked CLAWS 10 detail the
acts OF Ballinger while out OF the gov
ernment service that he considered i'm
proper. Ba llinger resigned as COM
missioner OF the land office March 4.
1908. and did not become secretary Of
the interior until March 4. 1909.
His irst act" replied CLAWS, was
when he returned from Washington to
Seattle. where / conferred with him
and told him of the evidence I was Sc
curing in the Alaska cases and having
had as commissioner all the informa-
tion concerning these cases, he delib-
erstely represented the coal claimants
themselves. This was contrary to an
act OF congress, although there had
been decision favorable and another
unfsvorable on that point. ] thought
the act Of congress entirely clear and
that il prohibited his acting. He rep
resented claimants in the Cunningham m
and other groups. I state this OF my
own knowledge and from the state
ment made to me by Ballinger that he
was doing this work
What did he do with respect to the
Cunningham group"
He prepared an affidavit for Cum
ningham. which he took to Mr.. Gar
field with view TO securing patents"
