gram received by ]. w. Cassidy from my wife.
also submit for your consideration letters
and statements which have been voluntarily sent
me by seme Of our friends who were made indig-
nant byR1eason Of such infamous charges and have
written me in regard to same. Read them. they
are from respectable and prominent people in this
district.
The United States has system Of accounting
and money is ever paid out for any purpose
whatsoever without proper and sufficient proof be-
ing made that the receiver Of such money is en-
titled to such payment. Before my wife could re-
ceive from the government her pay Clerk, it
was necessary for her to satisfy, by proper proof
the officers of the government having this matter
in charge that she did the work This was done
not only in her case. but in the case of each and
every other Congressman serving in the Congress Of
the United States. If any person by reason Of
fraud, misrepresentation or otherwise defrauds the
government out of monies not due him, there are
still other officers whose duty it is to search out
find and such monies. In fact, there
so many checks against the payment of money by
the United States Treasury that no person con-
tinuously collect from such treasury monies they
not entitled to receive. Any person who will
think will know from his own experience and OBJ
servation that this is the undoubted truth. call
your attention to these things for the purpose Of
showing that the proof of whether not my wife i
did the work was not dependent upon my own un-
supported and uncorroborated statement.
will now turn to his alleged three other witt
nesses. the first one being Hilton Chisholm.
In discussing what purports to be quotation
taken from letter which Wall states he receive.
from Chisholm Belts, and Boren, call your atten
tion to the fact that he does not give full state
ment of the contents of either letter. Why do YOU
suppose Wall only copied from these letters isola-
ted paragraphs2< Do you think there could have
been other statements in these letters which
obviously untrue, and unbelievable? Do you think
there could have been other statements in these
letters qualifying, explaining or beneficial to my
self? You have no means of knowing, / have no
means of knowing what the remainder Of either
letter would show if the entire letter instead of
mere quotation had been produced, From the acts
and conduct of Wall in this campaign, do know.
and you know he is only desirous of promoting
his interests and he would~not hesitate to
suppress withhold any portion of these docu-
ments if he concluded it would be to his interest.
Returning now to the quotation taken from
the letter, if he has such letter. from his alleged
witness Chisholm, you will notice in this quotation
that he states: She has been in the office but
once in two years." This name has been constant
ly on the pay roll with the exception of few
months during the campaign of192O".
How could this alleged witness Chisholm
state truthfully that Mrs. Quin had not been in
the office but once in two years? He would first
nave to show that he, himself, in this office
for two years, and had the opportunity to know
that Mrs. Quin had not been in the office for that
length of time. Now this alleged witness Chis-
nolm was not in Quin's office, was he in any
other office SO situated that he could truthfully
give any such statement, one knows where that
lellow spent his time. Two years is long time,
ana the positive statement that Mrs. Quin was in
the ofnce in two years only one time shows on its
lace tnat the statement of this alleged witness is
not worthy of belief. There is place of business
conducted by any person in this whole entire world
where any employee of that office could truthfully
make statement with lelerence to another person
as is boldly stated by this man Chisholm. There
are times in eacn day wnen those engaged at work
in every place OF business would be absent for
nleals, sleep, cation and the like that
would make it absolutely impossible for them to
assert any such fact; and yet here is this alleged
disinte. ested witness who himself never en-
ployed in this Office and never had any connection
with this office, and was never so situated that he
could know anything about the facts in this regard
asserts that he state certain fact that Mrs.
Quin was not in this office but once in two years.
and having asserted this fact, then states con-
cusion drawn therefrom. that she was carried on
the payroll dummy.
There must be- and there is, an explanation OF
why this alleged disinterested witness is will
ing to serve the interest Of H. v. Wall. This man
Chisholm on account of his own acts and conduct,
was arrested in washington some criminal
charge and made application to me for $500 to
pay his way out of Jail. did not feel inclined
TO advance him the money, and 1t seems he is now
willing to injure me and / can assign no other
cause except this why he should do so though
there may be other reasons known to Wall which
he will not tell. But, before he can injure my
good wife and myself in the minds of any just
thinking person, he will at least, have to make
statement which will show on its face that It is
worthy Of belief, and under what circumstances
he made IT and who procured him to do SO.
The next alleged witness he introduces Is Mr..
e. B. Belts This witness he states is an employee
of the House Office Building, at washington, D. c.,
and that this is the building in which my Office Is
located Now you will notice in this statement he
does not give you the exact employment or the
position occupied by this man Belts. Does any
reason occur to you why this was not done? Let's
frst locate the position and the employment OF
Belts The House Office Building is one OF the
largest of all the government buildings. This
building accommodates 435 Congressman and their
employees It IS Ave stories high, and in addition
to the Congressman and their employees, It also
accommodates large number OF committees ana
