Changed One Word Only.

The committee mad several chances to
unbend during Mr.. --Macon's testimony.
For instance. lie declared. in answer to
a question as to whether he had revised
tie stenographic report of his denuncia-
ton of Mr.. Fahy on the floor. that he
had.
Il changed one word there, said Mr..
Macon; instead of calling the CORE
spondent little ass l thought it better
to refer to him as "a wart. -
Members of the committee and specta-
tors seemed much amused at this and
there was considerable laughter. Mr. Ma
con never lost his serious expression.
Mr.. Macon told the committee that a
.concoulse" of newspaper men accom-
animated that they were there to in
timidate him. \ member of the commit
tee asked Mr.. Macon if no had considered
himself in danger at that time.
'Gentlemen. he solemnly replied, IF
Mr.. Norris had not been there this would
have been clear case of the reoccur-
renee of what happened at Rockville, Nd.
the other day"
1t is supposed that Mr.. Macon meant
by this to refer to the attack upon At
torney Moncure by three men as he
left the Rockville courthouse.
Thought It Objectionable.
Referring to the head line. Macon
Denounced Clerks Friend which was
over the article to which Mr.. Macon
took exception. a member of the COM
mittee asked Mr.. Macon if he consid-
cred this so Objectionable.
There are few men among the hon
ored constituency which ] represent re-
piled Mr.. Macon, who would not put
cloud upon any representative who will
sit up and suffer himself to be denounced
taking it tamely.''
Representatives Norris and Stanley told
the committee that the newspaper men
who were on the floor af the House at
the time of the alteration made no at
tempt whatever to intimidate Mr.. Macon,
but devoted themselves entirely to seeing
that no personal clash occurred between
Mr.. Macon and Mr.. Fahy.
