Senator Bailey Gets Huffy and Won't
Testify.
Washington, D. c., March IA
Because the authorities of Sangamon
| County, Illinois, issued subpoena
| for him in connection with the pro-
| ceedings against State Senator Holt
slaw, Senator Bailey, of Texas, prob
ably will make no explanation rela-
| tive to the disappearance in the SEN
! ate Chamber here of the affidavit Of
| Bank Clerk Newton and the Ho1tslaw
| bank deposit slip, concerning which
| there was much discussion during
the tendency in the Senate of the
resolution to vacate the seat of SEN
| ator Lorimer, of Illinois
Mr.. Bailey declares to-day that
the Associated Press was in error in
sending out from Washington last
Saturday the statement that he was
at work upon Statement" concern
| ing the disappearance of the papers.
Before the Senate adjourned"
said Mr.. Bailey, Senator Cummins
told me that he had been asked to
| make an affidavit himself reciting
that he had received that paper and
delivered it to me, and asked me also
to make an affidavit that I had re-
ceived it from him and handed it to
Senator Tillman, who had in turn
handed it to some other Senator, who
desired to see it. I very readily told
Senator Cummins that would make
the affidavit, and Saturday afternoon
Senator Borah told me that he had
received telegram from Senator
Cummins asking me to prepare and
send the affidavit at once
81 Immediately prepared it and de-
livered it to Senator Borah, to be
sent to Senator Cummins. It did
not take five minutes to prepare and
the statement that I was at work on
a statement is little less than ridi-
cu1ous."
The Senator went on to say that
after he had given the affidavit to Mr..
ROrah he saw the first tima a MOVIE
dispatch that a subpoena had been
issued for him in Springfield, ILL.,,
and on Sunday sent telegram to
Senator Cummins, reading as fol-
lows:
81 received your message through
Senator Borah yesterday afternoon,
and promptly prepared the affidavit,
