For himself, ho did not feel at all comfortable fn tho position in which ho had been placed, The Citizens? Assoclation ropresentatives had expected that some Jlue of procedure would have been prepared;; that they wero to sit in judgment of facts, and that those were to be presented tothem without their having to hunt it up, Theevidenco did not seom to be rendy, and for the purpose of arriving at a method of procedure, nnd beeause he was not ready to goon that day, hie would move to adjourn until twa weeks from next ‘Tuesday, Mr. Purington safd that it PERIOLAT IAD DEEN INVITED tocome before the Committee, and was thero present. In two weeks’ tiime ho expected to beln Leadville, where he might have to re- maln for a couple of months, 1t was for the Committes to consider If 1t would not be best to hear his evidence.
