J.), in which allusion 13 was to Senator Logan, was not actually delivered y him. ur Cox (N.Y.), after deprecating the practice of printing long essays in the Record, said that the present dispute arose from the publication in the Record of an article from the New York Star stat- ing that Senator Logan owned 80,000 acres of land. It had not been ch: that he came by them wrongfully. He (Mr. Cox) did_not_ know that Mr. Logan was a dishonest man.

Garfield in Tegard to the employment in tne star route cases of W.A.Cook and A. M. Gilson. Witness asso- Clated the two names because the President did so. On one occasion the President asked witness if he knew who lad been employed in the cases, and then expressed great indignation at the employ- ment of Cook and Gibson, He said he did. not think men of their reputation ought to have been employed, WHERE THE PRESIDENT GOT HIS INFORMATION ABOUT COOK'S REPUTATION ‘The chairman asked if the President did not say that he got his information of Cook's reputation from a judge of the District Supreme Court ? Gen. Swaim did not remember positively, but he got that Impression. It was Cook’ reputation that the President objected to. Witness’ tinpression Was that the President got his information about Cook directly trom a judge of the District Supreme Court. Witness had many conversations with President Garfeld on the subject of employing men Whose characters were tainted. Witness sald to the President that the star route investigation Ought to be kept entirely in clean hands—in the hands of men above suspicion. Witness remem- bered that the President once remarked that “IT TOOK A ROGUE TO CATCH A ‘ROGUE;” but witness inquired in reply, “Who will catch that rogue?” and added that the inquiry must be kept in the hands of the men in whom the public hadconfidence. The President said he would send for Postmaster General James and talk with him about it. ‘There was a conference between the President, James, Cook and Woodward.

Swaim had no knowledge of any intercourse between Cook and the Presi- dent except the conference when the Postmaster General was preeent. ‘The President frequently referred to the subject of the removal of Cook and Gibson. In reply to a question as to GEN. GARFIELD'S WISHES AND INTENTIONS in reference to the prosecution, Ger. Swaim sald the President was anxious to have a thorough, searching and honest investigation, and was will- ing to sacrifice any personal feeling he might have as to the employment of men objectionable to him in order to accomplish that end. He wanted the ishonest parties, whoever they were, brought to punishment, but he did not want anybody, through personal feeling or spite, persecuted. That was his sentiment pp t0 the tine of his death, and he had maintained it and that policy against very power- ful pressure. GEN.

Boynton testified that he had a con- mauch annoy ‘the etaploy- essed ne ation of tt very saying he knew nothing of Cook. He characterized the employment as an “outrage” upon him (the President).

After is first talk with the President witness went directly to the Attorney General and said he had | been requested by tho President to repeat what he | witness) had said about Cook. attorney General jacVeagh sald Cook was employed on the theory of “setting @ thief to catch a thief” ‘The Attorney General said ° HE KNEW ALL ABOUT COOK; that he had employed him before, and knew just what he was. Witness subsequently advised the | President that he had reported to the Attorney | General what he (Boynton) had sald to the Prest- | dent about Cook. | Witness thought he repeated to the President what MacVeagh had said to witness about the theory of Cuok’s employment. AS Wit- ness_understood it, Cook was employed in a de. tective capacity, and would not be entrusted with any of the secrets of the case at all.
