Mr. Brooke i tho only momborof Congress who is known to have recoived auy of this stock without a fair consideration, Question—Are you spoesking of stoclk obtnined for him by Amos? - : t)\.na\\'ar——A portion of it, 32 shares, eamo from him, Question—Was tho stocl put into his hunds ? Aunswor—I don’t know, I think the stock hat Mr. Brooks recoived wag given by Alloy's direc- tion, and not by that of Ames. All I know in regard o Brooks recolving nany of this stock is thio: I maw Brooks’ and Alloy togother novaral timos, nud hoard Brooks profsing Alloy to lot him have 60 shares of Crodit Mobilior stock 3 beard him sny to Alley that if Lo would accor him that privilogo and give him stock, Lo wowd tako cnro of le%)omunmtin sidoof tho Ionse, Brooks vns, at that timo, eithor Govornmont Dirootor, or said that ho would bavoe him- self mado Governmont Direstor of the Union Pacific Rnilrond. I overheard such conversation botween DBrooks and Al loy. Alloy finally conseuted to shares of that stock. [t was transforred to Brooks or his son-iu-law Neilson, Idon't kuow precisely whon the transfer wns made, Alley gave hig pledgo that Drooks should have fifty shares. ALLEY'S TESTINONY, John B, Alley testified that ho nover had any conveiration witl: Brooks relative to shaves, and nover gavo or sold a sharo of the stock of tho Credit Mobilier {o Brooks or to any member. Tho statoment of M'Comb is n fabrication. Alloy then wont into a lengthoned history of the flret starti f tho subscriptions to tho road for tho Crodit Mobilier, and stuted that it wos only upon the most carnest wolicitation of Oakes Amea that ho (Alloy) was provailod upon to take stock at tho start, and invost $50,000 init. Alley con- tinuod saying that Ames nluo porsundad Sonator Grimes and Congrossman Hogan to take ntock at tho eamo time, and thero was not tho lonst suggostion that thero was any cowrupfion in it. Ames himsolf put in $1,000,000, After tho cloc- tion” of Dircotors of tho Credit Mobiliey Com- pany, thoy found 050 shares standing in tho nmno of Thomas O, Durant, not paid for, and, upon inquiry, Durant gave ovasive answers, an ho was told thoy must bo paid for, or sald for tho bonofit of tho Compeny. Troubls cn- sued with Durant; he was turned out of ofico, and Alloy and his frionds ob- tained control. Wheso 65) sharos woro earried along, Ames maliug ovory offort to soll tham. Alloy's furthor ntatomont apposrod to show thak Ames inducod Wilson to Invest 2,000 of hin wifo's money, the praceeds of presenty to Mrs. Wilson on their silver wedding, but upon re- ports boing circulated which seomed to cast shiado of wmproprioty upon the irausaction, Wil- son insisted upon their boing takon back, Alle rave o alatomont relative to tho mauner inwhich nwes becama Eosuounad of gomo shares, but ‘whioh lio gave back to Amos on loarning that thoro wns to ho n suit; aluo that, although Bout- woll ind convorsed with Alloy nnd Amos about {aklng ton_sharos, Jo dld ot tako any of tho stook, and never’ had anything to do with it.
