Dr. Anderson then produced the bill, and Mr. Eppi asked If all the Items were dated. "Yes," iald Dr. Anderson. Mr. Epps: Well, I Jool wanted to know, since thON seemed to be a question In the minds of some of the committee as to whether or not you paid for that la-t supper. Mr. Vaughan: Did Mr. Belvia ask you to use your influence with the committee in behalf of anyon"? Dr. Anderson: Xo, slr; no one asked me to use my Influence In behalf of any one. Mr. White: Did you hear anything about a BM loan while on the trip? I>r. Anderson: No, slr. Mr. Meredith: Were any offers made you by Mr. BoOOf Dr. Anderson: Mr. Hooz was under the Impression that I did not have enough money to bear all my expenses, arni on on" or two occasions he offered to ad? vance the money, which I refused, as I bad enough. Mr. Henry L. Carter was then requested to take the stand, and was asked to tell what, took place on the Friday evening aft.-r the Anal inspection of the metal tixt ires.

Mr. Cuigon stated that he could get some important testimony by the next mir from a witness who wns ral of the city, but would be hack by Sunday. Mr. Kpps had stated that he wished to be tbe last lo testify. He thought lt wnild b" better for Mr. Epps to withhold his testimony until the next meeting of the committee, so as to give him an op 1" i 'unity to answi any statements that might he made by the other witnesses. He also moved that when the committee rrned lt would do bo to meet again MXl Tuesday night. Mr. Epps stated that he thought h" had stood this persecution long enough; that witness after witness had taken the stand and made statements refl. -tine on him, and that he had submitted to it all. If. however, lt was necessary, he nus Willing to withhold his testimony Until another time. Mr. Murphy stated that he saw no reason why Mr. Epps' testimcny should be withheld. If anything was said by other witnesses which required an an? swer from Mr. Epps. the !rift?r would bl In the city, and could be present to mak" a reply. Mr. Gnlgon said he was sure that Mr Epps did not wish to reflect on the com? mittee, ind did not believe thit. the committee wns trvlr.g to take any un? fair advantage of him; but that he thought it would be better to examine Other witnesses at that time. Tbe witness stand was then oc*i"led by Mr Epps. who said he eonf--<*? had acted indiscreetly, but had done noth? ing dishonorable. He wished Mr. Sam many to testify as to how the anonymous note had been received. Mr. hitamany said that a young man, well dressed, about twenty-five years of age, had come to the shop and said that he had a note for Mr. Epps. About Br! minutes afterwards Mr. Epps asked him if he knew who the young man was. Hi said that he did not know. Mr. Epps asked the young man who sent the not". He refused to tell. Mr. Epps then told the young man If be did not tell who sent the note he would have him arrested He (Sammanyl did not se? the note until about five minutes after the bearer had gone, when Mr Epps showed lt to him and then told him whom the young man said had sent lt. Mr. Mann: Was anyone else present when Mr. Epps attempted to scare the young man? Mr. Sa mina ny: No. slr. Mr. Epps then asked that In order that the committee might know something about him he wished Colonel Archer IQ take the stand and tentfly ai to his char? acter. He then retired and Colonel Archer stated that he had be*n Inti? mately as.?oclated with Mr. Epps for twelve years. Mr. Epps had served in the family as an apprentice and us fore? man for nearly thirty years, md that there wai no mm ever In hil employ who was of stricter truth, honesty ind Integ? rity. Hil confidence In Mr. Epps wai so great he would have sooner inspected himself. He had never known him *o depart from the highest planei of honesty md truth. He had often loaned him money without taking my receipt, md Mr. Epps had never filled to pay lt back. Mr. Epps. who had retired during Col? onel Archer*! etatement, returned and took the wltnen itand. L?st November, he said, Mr. Glenn came to him and ask? ed him to go to Mr. Goddln'i offlce to Inspect some metal furniture. He did so, and gave as his opinion that the furniture which wai varnished black wai the beit. He afterwards met Mr. Glenn, who said he was glad that he had so expressed htm lelf. In December Messrs Glenn and Bool requeued a committee from the Ground! and Buildings Committee to go North and Inspect lome furniture. He Itated that if he wai put on the com? mittee the city would have to bear the expense!. Soon afterward! he asked Mr. Curtli, the chalrmar of the committee, If the city would advance the money for the trip. Mr. Curtie replied that lt would not. A irit-iiu vance the money, whl. h was to be re? turned when the city made lt good. Mr. Glenn, too, offered tO advance -the money, stating that he lEppsi could return lt when the city paid him. He afterward* 1. rirn>l that Mr. Glenn had offered to ? tin- mon. y for the trip to several of the committee. H" rind Mr. Mount castle each accepted a HM loan from Mr. Glenn.
