them cared FOR soup.
Odd you know who put the TASKS under the
chairs?
A-No sir.
Q-Werent you curious to. know?
A-No. II I had found a man under the chair and
no flask I would have been curious but finding a flask
and no man was okay.
Q-when you saw all those silver TASKS, what did
you think7
Any first thought was that / was at n major
football game.
Q-what did you think nextG
A-WeI. I thought It must be the annual banquet
Of some golf club.
Q-When did you decide 1t was not a golf club
banquet?
AIS soon as I saw there was only flask to
a person.
Odd you know it was q gathering Of senators2
A.-Not at first.

Senators?
A-when I noticed they we're all very busy inves-
tigating.

ALL / know is that they brought in no unfavor-
able report.
Odd anybody present show any resentment that
q silver flask had been found at his place.
A-Only one.
Q-Why was that2
Ale expected a case OF Scotch.
Q-Now. Mr.. TwitchelI, one more question. Was
the liquor In these tasks good or bad7
A-You can use your own judgment.
Q-But what will ! base it on?
A-On the act that it took two years or anybody to
complain.
