The original plan had an entirely different object in Hew. ‘The iden of holding a business meeting was, it issaid, first. conceived by Mr. Conkling, and the man to be endorsed was U.S. Grant.

Ker continued his testimony before the Springer committee to-day. He sald that some time before the March (1882) grand Jury adjourned final- ly, Col. Bliss came to him andsaid: “Ker, you Reedn’t bother about those indictments (Parker, Saulsbury, &c.) any further; I intend to arbitrate them and take them out of the grand jury.” Wit- ness replied:—“You can’.” Bilss asked, “Why not?” and that ended the conversation. After that witness understood that Bliss had proceeded to take ‘the cases from the grand Jury room. A GRAND JURY WITHOUT 4 RECORD. ‘The witness sald that the grand jury of March, 1882, Kept no record of any Kind; that there ts not the scratch of a pen in existence to show that any Such Jury ever existed. Witness did not know whose fault that was. (Chairman Springer submitted the book of records of the grand juries, which he had procured from District Attorney Worthington. ‘The witness read from the minutes of the grand Jury of December, 1881, to the effect that presentments against San- derson, Sweet, and others, for perjury,were handed. to Col. Bitss,ahd he returned thei to the jury with- out preparing indictments, “for reasons best known to himself,” as the record stated. It was the Mitch- ell Jury that kept no record, and Mt. Ker said that whoever Was respousibie for that owission ought to be held accountable; Bliss was in charge of the cases before the grand jury. That grand jury in- dicted Brady and Price, BUT FAILED TO INDICT KELLOGG. Witness, anticipating the indictment of Kellogg, included his name in the indictment, and had to rewrite 1t, because the jury ignored the case against him. The witness said he was busy prepat ing indictments against the Saulsburys and ali other combinations, but he stopped and tore them up by order of Col. iiss, who said he was golng to arbitrate these cases, Mr. Springer asked how it happened then that the fact that those men were not indicted made Col. Bliss sick (as Bliss testified before the commit- tee). The withess answered that he had nothing to do with Col. Bliss’ sickness. Bliss Was witness’ superior and he obeyed him, MR. KER'S FEES. In answer to the charge that witness had charged the government an excessive sum for his services, Mr. Ker read letters from Philadelphia lawyers to the effect that they had examined his Work and thought his charges moderate. Witness sald he charged $10,000 for preparing the indict- mel WHAT WAS DONE TO INDICT KELLOGG. ‘The chairman asked for a statement of what Was done to indict Kellogg. ‘The witness sald that Mr. Merrick got into communication with Walsh. Ata conference between witness, Bllss and Mer- Tick the former sald {t would not be proper to pro- ceed against Kellozg while he wus a Senator, a3 that would disqualify him and upset the republi- can majority tn the Senate, but it was necessary to {ndict him else the statute of Umitations would bar thecase. When the gtand jury ignored the case against Kellogg Merrick insisted that the June grand jury should be called together and the mat- ler laid before It, as the honor of the prosecutin, counsel was at stake. ‘The jury was convened, an Bilss, at Merrick’s instigation, went before it. After @ days session the jury Teported that they had no Presentment to make, ‘The government counsel considered THE ACTION OF THE JURY A MYSTERY. Col. Bliss was opposed to bringing the Kellogg matter before the next succeeding grand Jury, and Mr. Merck insisted that he should. The Attorney General sent for counsel and asked about the case. Bliss tusisted that Kellogg should not be indicted; Merrick demanded that” be should, and tt led to Biss docusing Merrick of being governed by polit cal prejudice. ‘The Attorney General stopped the discussion, and said that politics had nothing to do with the cases; that the law knew no distinctions. Witness held that Kellogg ought to be indicted. BLISS DENOUNCED WALSH and said he could not be believed. The Attorney General directed the prosecution of Kellogg, and he was Indicted, The point was raised that the committee had de- elded not to go into the Kellogg case. Mr. Ker said he didn't care to tell anything un- less he explained the whole ease. He wouldn't be hampered. SHARP DISCUSSION BY MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE ON ““WHITEWASHING KELLOGG.” Chairman Springer sald It was admissible for the Witness to explain what reasons governed the Prosecution, Mr; tiliken sald that it Kellogg was, i in at ali, incidentally or otherwise, he (Milliken) would insist upon permitting Kellogg to come before the committee and repiy. Mr. Van Alstyne spoke of whitewashing Kellogg, andeMr. Milliken took exception to the term “whftewashing.” Mr. Van Alstyne, with some warmth, said the term was not original with him. It had ‘been used in regard to this case on the floor of the House. Mr. Milliken insisted that if Kellogg was stnirched. by any testimony he (illlliken) would insist upon his right to be heard in his own behalf: a right that ‘ought to be accorded to any man, whether he was a “white man, a nigger or a red Injun.” ‘The discussion continued for some time, and the tilt between Van Alstyne and Milliken increased. in ‘warmth a tt proceeded. ‘Mr. Ker said that he wanted to make such state- ments only a3 were necessary in simple justice to the government counsel, ‘Chairman Springer ordered that part of the testi- mony relating to Sr. Kellogg to be Stricken ‘out, and asked the witness to stute the circumstances IN A MANNER THAT WOULD NOT REFLECT UPON KEL- Lose. Mr. Ker replied that he had been criticised, and charges concerning the drawing of the Kellogg in- dictments had been published, and he did not want to make any statement concerning the matter at aul, unless he were allowed to explain the facts as they were. It was a question of doing simple Jus- Uce to himself and other government counsel. naif; Yan Alstyne asked if he demanded this priv- re. Witness replied that he did not exactly demand 4t, but ne asked that he be allowed to explain their position; he had no Gesire to cast any reflection upon Mr. Kellogg in any way, or say anything as to hils guilt or innocence. It was finally agreed that the witness should pro- ceed with his statement in his own way, and the committee should decide afterwards whether it should be retained in the record or stricken out. ‘THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION. In relation to the decision of the court that the statute of limitation operated upon the case, wit- ness sald that the court agreed with him at first, ‘Dut not in the last instance. Mr. Milliken asked him to explain what he meant by this. He said that on the Bist of December, 1863, when the stat- ute of limitation wrap pieoced by Ju ‘Wilson, Kellogg's attorney, Judge Wylie ‘that the bribe dated trom the tine of the payment of the money, and covered both that date and the date of the di ing of the drafts. Upon this decision he based his indictment, and ‘the decision was. reversed. THE CASE AGAINST KELLOGG. ‘Witness said that from his knowledge of the tes- ‘timony in possession of the prosecution the case was as strong, {f not stronger, against Kellogg than the rest. He said that upon Bills’ advice he put the dates in the indictment He was asked if this was against his own Judg- ment. ‘He said 1t was not. 48 TO COL. CORKHILL ‘Witness said that a great deal had been sald against Col. Corkhill, but he (witness) had never seen anything out of the way in him. He had ren- dered him material ald in ments. Witness sald that logg acknowledged that he had froin Price and used 1t for Louisiana. i i : H i | : (Kellogg) had told a certain correspondent he alge hg i mi “that if Mr. Kellogg wants of sat it he will let me know and lace I shall be there.
