"A request made by General Fry to the investigating committee for the priviledge of preparing and submitting by himself or counsel, a written plea, was not granted. The following letter of instructions was, however, addressed by General Fry to his counsel, Hon. A.G. Riddle, on the eve of the oral plea, which Mr. Riddle made in compliance with the requirements of the committee. It gives a general but brief resume of the grounds on which General Fry rests his charges against Mr. Conkling, and of his defense against the charge which Mr. Conkling incidentally brings against him"--[Introduction].
