I'adurah Sun Sometime since, a illainous looking trump called at the house of Bernard I'rvor, eight miles from the city on the Benton road. It was cur'.y morn, and stealing into the kitch en where Mrs. l'ryor uml a young servant girl wen; sluing . nlh-l !'..r breakfast. The lady insUucted the servant to give him something l'roin the cuplKiurd. A plate full of food was handed to him, but lie said, with a serowl, "That wont do. I m,l break fast of that k!nd thin morning. I want a eMked bn-n' -fast." Mrs. 1'ryor said to the impiKlent intruder, "There 'is no one to cook ;n the house. ' The fellow, in rt threat ening voi.e. remarked : "You ,. ,i0 jt( (imi you bad better attend to it i d onicklv too." Mis. l'ryor then requested the young N'Tvnnttoeall her htisbund, win was'inthe field ut work, onic distance from the house. The tramp coolly mid, "tlutt won t work", madam. I saw your husband and his men go oil' to their work before I entered the bouse, and now get my breakfast !" He soke savagely, but the brave woman wus equal to the emergency. She stepped a few feet to an adjoin'ng room, caught up a well loaded double-barrelled shot gun, cocked it and placing it to her shoulder, re' marked to the fibiilden guest, an she 'drew a bend on him," "If you don't leave thin house More I count live, I'll blow your head off '." The scoundrel stood not ii'Min the order of hia going but went at once. He probably wou't ask Mrs. l'ryor for another breakfast. CONHXIF.D FROM FII'.kT TACIE. ' Q. Then haven't you stated all ihat I have? A. Subs.i.atially. Q. Then we don't subsL.iuially d'tfer nnd you were sor.y you fri'cdJ A. Nat ura'ly. L tighter. Q. You were not surp 'd to find An derson a me. . enger .rom .Mat 'cws to Har lan? A. Not at all. Q. Y'ou k.iow Matthews knew Ander son to be just what you "d exeep. i to what bis friends thought of himf A. I tlrnk he was g ain 'ly wel1 I o. j to Mat thews. Q Now, then, in regard to that ' te. view. You say you saw Matthews at ' ;" house, did you f A. Yes, sir. Q. Did he send for you or'd you go there voluntarily? A. I ca'led n 'him at Q. State t ie first th' ig you recollect that either of you said' A. I suppose you niCi;i nir V 'iat w'H berr on lis case and elf.ct lie jk' t you wish to maker Q. Y'ou have no more idea of the po-'-it I want to make thi'i you have of Indian linjjn, and I donot i itendyou slnll. Go o with your story and let my po'nts alone. A. The fitst th'n;r tliat I recoi'ect is hnt I stated to Ma I'lews (hat it had come my knowledge tliat copies of these docu ments or p.' kts, or whatever they wi-re. were exuiei ce n the newspaix-r othee ot tlie ew 1 ork !si and that copies of them or the off." lals had been offered to some parties in New York rcpresent:ng Tllden. Q. Do you have any recollec ion of v thin-f ocer -i' iir before tha in that ' teV v.cwf A. We p'obaldv d'sci'ssed this maUer of the collec irship before that. Ut 1 tolii Matthew th-aUijit the pa- jicib 11c luio. jieo l c inai ne naa tne same information from some Democratic source and his statement wes to the efiect hat he did not care whether the doevtnent. so far as he was concerned, was delivered to other parlies, or purchased, or Isjuglit or what was done with it. We then disci d what is called the Sherman !e.,er and I told him what I had heard in regard to its e !stjnce. and I remember distinctly he remarked that lie did not believe anv such letter had ever leen written and hat no orig'nal was in existence. During the inteiview it w- mentioned that Anderson or )aities repre- senting him Who mentioned it? A. It w.s men tioned by himse'f and he had heard the same that parJes representing Anderson would cVsnose of those documents, and I told him tliat Anderson had been over here at a request of mine and I inuuire d in re- gard to papers and documents and thai he had assured me they were in his jniMession amt would remain satelv there. Matthews rciuarhcu mat in case 01 my appointment or appointment of some one suitable to us. Antlers-Hi should be williu to give up all documents and papeis that lie had, ami forego any claims that he had on him (Matthewsj or the Admii;stration. Q. You have spoken of papers g-.-n-.era'ly, you have even told us three times over that Matthews introduced the Sher Dian le.ter, by saying that he did not care aliout the papers so far as he was concern ed, except us to the Sherman letter. Did not Matthews introduce the subject of the Sherman letter fit str A. 1 can't recollect who tirst sjMike of the Sherman letter. Q. Do you recollect of its coming in any other way than the way you put it in vot'r direct examination? A. I do not. Q. What he in substance said was that he did not care about anything else, but it was the Sherman letter that was of imiior tance. Why didn't you say "Mr. Matthews, what is the Sherman letteri'' Didn't you say that to him? A. There was nothing of that kind said. The Sherman letter at that time had In-en published 'n thepapers. and it is to e supposed everybody knew what it was. Q. Pardon me; if you tell me what is in the newspajK-rs, you tell me a great many things that aren't true. While you art testifying under oath, therefore, don't do it. Laughter. Just speak of what you know. Did he refer to the newspapers as his source of information? A. Neither of us referred to the newspapers. Q. Now, what source of infoimation did you give to him about the Sherman let ter in that conversation? A. -My source of information was Mr. Potter, chairman of this committee, ami what I heard of it through him. Q. But what information did you give him alwut the Sherman letter as distinctive? A. I can recollect nothing as distinctive. Q. What information did you give about the Sherman letter? A. None what ever. Q,. Then Sherman's letter was spoken of as a matter that you two knew all about? A. Certainly it was a well-known thing. Q. It was after the 5th of April and before the 19th of that month you saw the papers Anderson had ? A. Yes, sir. Q. On the 19th you had learned that your candidature was up, in old Saxon, "your cake was dough,'' and the papers were not any longer instrumental in help ing you, why did you want them on the 19th of April? A. I cannot give you any information us to that. I cuc't explain that telegraph. Q. Let me sec if I can help you. You had just been beaten; were you "not just as well satisfied then to have 'the papers es tablished? A. Oh.no sir; 1 had no such idea as that, not at that time. Q. Afterwards you told him he hud better pitch in? A. There is but one (.x. plnnation 1 can give as to that telegraph, foi I am certain I saw the documents pre ious to the 19th of April. About the time thu appointment whs made, and a few days before I went home Packard notified me he had telegraphed to Anderson to conic over, and had signed my name to the telegram, And ei'son having 11 better ac quaintance with me than with Packard, though be was well acquainted w ith both of us. That may explain matters. t. But Packard was beaten before you began ami you wanted to antagonize hiin. 1 011 were Oeateii, ami J'.ickard too. bv the 19th of April. How do you explain' that Packard wanted the papers? They wcie no longer reasons for li is appointment. A.--1 have given the best recollection 1 huve. ov, then when you saw the paper they dii'-i't seem In you to be ol'unv conse quence? A. Well 1 would consider the t ter of Matthews and Sherman if the origi nals could lie produced us important docu ments, Q. When Anderson showed you the papers where were you? A --It was in my ow n room. f ti. Who were present? A. The only gentlemen present were L. (j. Smith, the present collector of New Orleans, Ander son and myself. Mr.Smilh saw a portion of the papers possibly all of them. I i x aiuiued them and he did. The only thing THE DAILY CAIRO BULLETIN; Ihat I recollect as Doing said by eitltt one of the gentlemen present Was some expres "ion of surprise or ftxton'shment m the ji. rt of Mr. Smith that stu b documents or papers c'stid. 0,. You were not su r u-d at )'heif ex istence? A. Oh, no, s!. j Were you stirpiised alsit't ;anyth!n you saw there hat day? A. Ndhing c. cept Ma,.hews' leucr. 1 Q. - Y'otl were su prVed that Matthews had been lWsh enough to wuta such let ti'rs? A. Yis, r, nno I renuDiber Mr. Smith expic si'd more surprise, j 1; Q. A hy t''i 't you t .it n h i A ntte. . -nnd say : "You have been deceiving me r ' tl 's I'nie.

Witness test' ied he met Matthews 'n "te senat. chamber, rnd the laU.T mentioned first 'lie subject of Anderson's 'uer 'ew, sa ' -g 'hat Anderson had called on himand spoken veiy roughly to him, and had made tlnvatsof pub'Yation of these documents or soiiieth'ng- of hat t, "nd, mid he told Ander son he felt vciy much hcrt end d: -st vl at that action; ihat he had been do'ng a'l lie could ' 1 accordance with Anderson 'swishes, end that he had told Anderson he did not want see h'm my fei.her, and that he might do tw he pleased with the papers and documents, and that he would drop him, andhesfdd substantially the same to me ; thst it was no use . y'ig to do anything with such a man or something of the 1 'ml, that he whs incapable and expected to do more than he could do, and that he had done the lest he could under the ci-cutn-stnces, and he was deteur'-ed to have nothing to do with Anderson. WILLIAM II. SEVMOI R. swo.-a and examined bv McMahon: Q hat is your occupation? A. I am notary public and conup'ssioner of deeds. Q Were you acquainted with James E. Anderson? A. Yes, sir.

Q Did you know the other -rson who was with h:mi' A. No, sir, I did not, or'y from Anderson's introducing him. Q How Whs he 'n.naiuced? A. He was introduced by Mr. Andeison as Mr. Weber. Q Did you Ldow whether or not it was Weber? A. I d'd not, I knew the witnesses, Mr. Dick Mid Mr. Wilder; they are claim agent-, or attorneys, rvbid'ng n New Orleans. 0 Q Was the inside of this pajx-r com municated to you or did the parties just present this pait of it and sav thev had sworn to it ? A. That is all, I just saw the inside. I was not made aequaintil with the contents of it; the gentleman seemed to be very reticent about communicating the contents and I put the question tr them, whether there was anything in it that would be unprofessional for me to sign, anything tliat would appear ridiculous or non-professional, and Anderson said no. The document was signed whn it was brought to me and I said to Wilder "It's all right." He came and introduced An derson to me. , Q. Let me call your attention to tF document in one or two particular; do you notice the fact that "and D. A. WeJer'' ap-IK-ars to have been added a.'ter the jcrat had been written? A. Yes, sir. 1 t Do you remeniU-r of your attention being called to tliat or noticing it at the time? A. I am almost posi ivei that I called . Anderson's attention to that fact, and the fact that Weber's name was not on that document or at least his name vas not inserted, and I had the correction made: when it was first presented to me it was simply sworn to before me this 15th jay of November. 17(1, by the k-fore-menfoned James E. Anderson; I said there ar two gentlemen to this, and the other name must lie inserted. j Q And tlun who inserted it?l I don't know who inserted it, but somlody did, and it is not ;n my handw iting., Q. Do you notice 'the fact that your own signature is signed on the l' v; imme diately below Anderson's and pa.tly be neath it, so fts to lap over? A. Yes, sir. i And the words noia y public are still further to the right, on "'h; next "-'.of A. Yes. ,.;r, li And the signa..'re, I). A.
