 Asked if he received a co1nmunica- tion from MT. Stone regarding that matter, Mr. Thorne said he had, and he produced it. It was read into the recosd, written under date of Novem- Der IS. 1907. In the letter MT. Stone said.

 Not Sent Out by Associated Press.
 .'But we felt that the statement was so injudicious that we did not send it out. Later. when I said to Perkins that I thought it was very hurtful, he justified it on the ground that the condition was so strained that if public attention had not been cen tered upon the knickerbocker Trust company and the Trust Company of America every bank in New York probably would have been involved. I think the whole thing was a mistake a most unfortunate mistake-for which you had to pay a heavy penalty, but do not for moment imagine that there was any malice involved in it."
