Why did you regard suffictent sum forhin when y rand % ices were of a clerical e} He was not expected to use his ser vices in Congress; he belonged to the party in the minority at that time, and had no in- fluence; he wrote letters for me; he would haye received the money whether the bill passed or not. I paid Schumaker what was agreed between us. He fixed the sum and 1 did not think it was too much. Q, Did emer $500,004? A. Tasked him what he expeeted—he said $300,000. IT did not consider it a large sum. I have known aslargea fee paid for similar vice. I have twice, myself, been off fees La exeess of $100,000 for my own Se. which I declined. If mine were worth $100, others might have been worth $390,000. t you didu’t receive sucha fee for yourself? A. When you come to figure mine down you will find I didn't get anythin Q. Did not Schumaker belong to the same rolitieal party, which was in the minority, as Abert? A. Yes, but Abert had no influence; Seh' maker had. Abert was uninfluential € with the minority Q. How did King come to get $125,000? Al to King and asked him how much he expected to get. He said $125,000. I told Stockwell of the sum King wanted. Stockwell was in large stock operations. King has said he received what money he did from Stockwell on acconnt of stock oper: tions—that however, isnot my understanding of it. I gave Schumaker $360,000 on aceount his experience, character, general ability and influence, Ibhad no man to replace him on the floor of the House. WHAT DID HE DO WITH IT? Q. Did you know of any disbursements Schumaker was to make? A. I did not. I did not, nor did he suggest any disbursements that should be made. . Can you tell if he actually made any disbursement? A. I cannot. 5 Q. Can you tell what became of the money? A. Only from what I read inhis testimony. Q: Have you any idea that any of it was returned to Stockwell? A. [have not. Ido not know if itdid or did not go back to him. Q. Did your understanding with Stockwell, so far as you were concerned, include any Stock operations, either for yourself, or any one interested with you? A. No, siz. Stockwell once offered me a call of $10, worth of stock, on which he ran me #10 per share. I told him I idn’t want it either for myself or ai else. Ihave heard .of large stock tions in noo —_ Pacific Mail, but know of nothing myself. Q. Did $750,000 cover all the disbursements you made on account of the subsidy? A. It did not.
