the stand.

I due to the fact that he had Intended to
tell on the stand of number of medium
sized contributions which have not been
J uneaithed by the Frawl-y committee or
the counsel for the Assembly imp.ach-
men, managers. hut to say nothing of sev.
cral big contributions which he imagined
neither the frawloy committee nor the
Assembly managers knew anything about.

the last forty-cight hours that the Assem-
bly Impeachment managers know of two
big contributions of $4,000 each which he
had intended to conceal In his testimony
