Tuption. Judge Kelley was present with nis coun- ‘sel, Mr. Coleman, and Mr. Smithmeyer, the first ‘witness to be examined, was on hand, The charges were formally presented to the committee and Judge Kelley explained at length how he had “absorbed” through @ period of two years’ knowl- edge which influenced him to make the formal charges, THE CEaBoEs, ‘Tne charges assert that during the Forty-ninth Congress Mr. Stahinecker urged upon Mr. Smith- meyer on several occasions the extraordinary ft- ness of marble trom the Tuckahoe works, in his district, for use in the construction of the buliding. In this, tt 1s charged, ‘he was iuportunate, and in- troduced one Mr. Cardozo and the two worked upon Mr. Smithmeyer to secure favorabie action upon this marble. It is charged, further, that 1n October of last year Mr. Staninecker called on Mr. Smithmeyer at Chamberiio’s, and said that he ‘understuod Smithmeyer had rejected the cement furnished by the contractors. Mr. Smithmeyer ‘Said that the cement had not proven suitable. Mr. Stablnecker then said that in this lure he (Smithmeyer) was acting contrary to interests, and advise him as 4 friend to accept the cement, ‘To this Mr. Smithmeyer is represented as saying ‘that he could not modify bis action unless beter cement was furnished, Mr. Sahinecker 1s repre- sented as having then left with an appearance of annoyance, After this Mr, Stabinecker is represented as calling again on the architect’ and asking tor an interview in a private room. At this interview, the charges state, he told Mr. Smithmeyer that he was doing himself harm by his rejecuon of the ‘cement, and that it would be greatly to his bene. fit and inverest to accept it; and that if he did not ‘accept It It Would prove disadvantageous to him, ‘a8 Lue parties interested had great influence that would, in that case, be exerted to remove him from his position as architect of the Library build- ing. Mr, Smithmeyer is represented as saying that he Would do nothing not right, At this, the charges say, Mr, Stauinecker became displeased. After that be is represented as ug Mr. ‘Smitbmeyer with removal from his position; also “hat he has asked Iriends of Mr. Smitumeyer to try to influence him to change his action as to tne cement. used lily influence to secure tue ap- politment of John W. ‘Trainer, “a man of bad Habits and unsavory repute,” ai secretary of the comunlssion, for tue purpose of getting knowledge Of the action of the Coumissions ae. ‘JUDGE KELLEY, 1 His BXPLANATION, stated in a general way that he had become possessed of the knowledge that Mr. Stabinecker had, as described, improperly attempted to in- fluence the acceptance of the Tuckahoe marole und the rejecteu cement, and that he had procured hig appol. ment rst a8 chairman of tue House Morary committee and then as a member of tue spectal committee ior the pur; ceoptance of these uateriais PO OE ‘The taking of testimony was then begun.
