Ames testified that the cor-1 lificales alluded to wero dividends on I credit mobilier stock, and the money I was paid in Washington. In reply to a question, Ames said he Hud n't been able to find any receipt from Colfax; bis clerk was still searching one. Witness Wit-ness was positive he gave Colfax a statement showing the balance due on shares, when Collar gave a check for the balance- Colfax was not so green as to give a chock for $634 unless ho know what for. Colfax never notified witness that he would surrender the stock. Sidney Dillon, clerk of the oQico of the sergont-at-arms, testified that it was his impression be paid a $1,200 check marked "S. C" to Oakes Ames. He thought ho paid him two fivo hundrod dollar bills. Ho had asked Amos since tho latter's return to Washington, it he didn'tpay him the check; Ames replied he thought it very likely.

Witness further testitied thai ho didn't remembor that he got any receipt from Colfax; never said to any person he remembered ho gave Colfax a check for $1,200. When ho made his statement in icuioiuber if ho had paid Colfax any dividend, ho had not seen tbo memorandum, memor-andum, and his memory had not been refreshed. To tho question "Did you moan then to tell a Ho or tuo Iruth r" Ames answered "'I won't answer tho question. It is an impudent ono." In explanation of b 8 former -statement, witness said ho desired lo make it as easy as ho could tor all those mec; he probably bad orrod on their side, but now fiey camo in hero to make him out a liar. At tbo evening"-1! ssion vice-Preiiden Colfax appeared and addressed tho committee com-mittee al great length, reviewing the chances brought against him, repeating substantially his former rtalemenls and explanations of his connection with the credit mobilier, and denying positively ever receivingany sum of money whatever what-ever from Ames or anyone else, as dividends divi-dends on credit mobilier, as he had never owned tho stock, having abandoned llio claim to it as beforo testitied to by him. In regard to the cheek for $1.2il to "S. C. or bearer,'' he raid. "I repent again, I have not the slightest knowledge, recollection, recol-lection, or belief that 1 over saw this eheeK or any oilier check of Ames,1 nor that 1 have ever been paid or proferrd by him, direetiy or indirectly, in check, stock or bond?, twelve, hundred, or one hundred, or ono dollar on ny account whatever, and further state that 1 have not the fliiiiue-t knowledge, recollection, recollec-tion, or beii-M that 1 ever heard there was or could be any cash dividend on credit mob're: till the diieuision ot last fall.
