asked later If he thought that McQraw
was really In, such condition that he
could not havs visited the District At
lorney'B office. He amlle'd and said :
"I don't believe that It would bo right
for me to maJio any statement about
that. I am not at liberty to discuss that
matter with, any one except District At
torney Swann, to whom I shall make
a report Monday morning."
Metiraw told his visitors that he knew
llavin well, but had seen. Liggett only
a few times. He said that once since
the accident res had seen Thomas
Meagan, the taxlcab chauffeur who con
veyed them to ids house. That was
when the man called at his house to
collect the fare for the trip. He denied
that ho had been working any political
wire since last Sunday In an effort
to "fix things up."
Incidentally the Giants' nianager,who
earned the sobriquet of "Muggsy" In
his playing days for his aggressive qual
ities and who has figured In many fistic
battles on ball diamonds and in cafes,
said to his visitors: "Vou can, ask any
one that knows ms. They'll tell you
that I'm not a man to pick a light. I
haven't a quarrelsome disposition."
When tho visitors Informed some
newspaper men that Mr. McGraw had
said he was "not getting a square deal"
from the papers, tho scribes went up
to his apartment en masse and sent In
word that tihey had been Informed of
his complaint and would be glad to
print any statement that he might make

ments made by McOraw. A. O. Drown,
chairman of the houso commlltoe, told,
reporters that the clqb would stand upon
the public statement Issued by the houso
committee last Monday. This statement,
based upon a thorough investigation of
the grill room fracas, put the whole
blame upon McGraw, and held that his
conduct toward Boyd had been such
that the actor was obliged to administer
a thaashlng to him. It contained no
reference to the use of a water bottls
by either party to the bout.
In regard to the statement by Mc
Graw that he bought part of his alco
holic stock at tho Lambs Club, Mr.
Drown said:
"I can only explain agalrKlhe point
that we have endeavored to make clear
within the. last few days. If Mr. Mc
Graw or any one else bought any liquor
from an employos of tho Lambs Club It
wss a private transaction. The club
had nothing to do with It and would
urn have tolerated It had It been known
to tho officers of the organization. If
any liquor was obtained there the
Lambs are not to blame."
Tho two newly discovered witnesses
who said they saw Slavin fall as he
was being pushod back toward a taxi
cab In front of McGraw'a home were
questioned yesterday In the District At

not made public.
