In what nawepaper did you make caah, lad the morehante forth with rope it the publication? A. In the New York 'Herald; I marked a copy and sent it to the President, and I hare reason to beliava it reached him. Were you to be employed in the Q-Dietriet Attorney's office at St Louis for any ether purpou than to attempt to prevent the conviction of Babcock? A Thot wu what they understood, but the President did not understand it that way at all; at tout I believe ho did not; he said ha wiebed me to su what wu going on, and if there wu any attempt made to introduce forged or folse teitimony or any prejudice against the Department, that he wished to know it, and I wu to maka my reports to the Attorney General, and that if General Babcock wu guilty ha srauld have him punished; is what the President sail from the start. Q. Did you ever take any document! out of the Dietriet Attorney's office In St. Louis? A. I did on one occasion, the reports, notes and memoranda in regard to the Avery matter, hut they were chiefly matters that had been published before. I have explained that all to the District Attorney to hii foil satisfkotion. I took one telegram away from there, a telogram from B enfold Wilson, but that hu all been explained to Dyer. He understands the whole matter, and wu perfectly satisfied with the explanation. Q. Ha wu entirely satis fled with your conduct in trying to gHt hii papers away from him? A Wall, then is n understanding there and I do not know that it ia necessary to explain it to the Committee. Q. You dont think the President had anything to do with this attempt to cover up the tracks? ' A. Not at all. On by Mr. Danforth the witness stated that ha had communicated to Cl.

Don't you think Secretary ChanQ dler did exactly right in dismissing you then? A. Now you have ukad me a plain question and I will tell you that Mr. Chandler knew exactly what I wu employed for; he aiked me what I want to New York for. Said I, "I went there on matton connected with Babcock. Said he, "Did Goneral Baboock know you went there? Said I, "He did, because I wrote him a letter before I left.1' That is all the conversation we had. I dont know that ha knew the detatli of my St. Louie employment beosuse I asked him if it was necessary for me to go into details and ha laid no. Dla tries Attorney Dyer. Wuhington, April 1.
