F. B. Noyes, Treasurer Evening Star Newspaper Co. Subseribed and sworn to before me this fourth day of February, A. D. 1889. Joux T. C. Cranr, Notary Public. Assistant Attorney for the District Davis, in The unsworn statement of assumed facts, dis- guised as a question, with which he initigted the Commissioners’ boomerang crusade upon The Star in the congressional investigation, alleged thatthe statements of persons in re- spect to real estate purchases published In Tue Srar differed, unfavorably to the Commission- ers, from the subsequent testimony of these sume persons before the committee, intimating that Tur Stan had in malice falsified the re- ports of these interviews. andasking from Com- missioner Wheatley an explanation of this course on the part of the paper. This insinuation is false and baseless, The testi- mony of the persons interviewed by Tur Sran so far as they have been examined by the com- m agrees in all substantial particulars with Tr Srar’s reports, as e comparison will show. These alleged differences, if they ex- isted, would indicate only that the witnesses used different language to Ter Star reporter from that employed in giving testimony ander oath, and not that Taz Stan malicionsly changed the remarks which they actually made. ‘There is not a particle of evidence of such doc- toring of the interviews, and the intimation that it has been practiced is a deliberate slan- der. Mr. Webb thinks it is the Stan's editorials on uurchases, and not the published statements, which indicate aninms. No man who reads them without prior belief of the existence of ill will towards the Commissioners would ever suspect its existence from the pe- rusal of them. They are moderate in tone, they carefully refrain from going beyond ad- mitted or sworn facts and from alleging official corruption, and they show conclusively that the method of making real-estate purchases for the District is an injudicions one and that in the interest of the District not only should the method be changed, but that examination should be made to ascertain whether certain money received in these transactions cannot be recovered for the District. Both houses of Congress have recognized that the method of purchasing is bad. Beyond all controversy there is reason- able ground for believing that the District can recover part, at least, of the money which has been paid to the intermediaries. If Messrs. Webb and Wheatley had kept 2s close to their published statements in their testimony under oath as the persons interviewed by Tue Star there would be no donbt at all on the latter | question, and the writing of Tur Stan's editor- ials and the soundness of their contention in behalf of a recovery for the District would be already fully vindicated. It will be remem- bered that Mr. Webb, in his written statement published the day after the first publication in ‘Tue Star. and indorsed by Mr. Wheatley, admitted the employment of agents to pur- chase, denying merely that they were paid by the District for their services. On this and other admissions of Mr. Webb Tar Stan's edi- torials were based. The admissions of Mr. Cox on the witness stand, taken in connection the prior published admissions of Messrs. Webb and Wheatley, would establish conciu- ly that Mr.Cox had received mony from the striet to which he had no right. According Webb's written statement Mr. Cox was joyed as an agent to purchase for the Dis- triet, though he received no compensation om the Commissioners except confidence, and according to Mr. Cox's evidence, after his r-lations to the District had been established he bought} the ninth precinct station site on his own account and sold at an advance to the District, By the law if he was the Dis- trict’s agent as stated by Mr. Webb, the moment he bought he purchased for the District and not for himself, and he would not be entitled to the increase over the price paid to the vendor, which he exacted from the District. The testimony already introduced on the subject of the relations of Mr. Cox to the Com- missioners goes far to confirm the original im- pression of the latter that he was their agent. The use of the word “engaged” rather than ” of ‘intermediary” rather than egotiate” rather than “pur- ” in deseribing his functions does not alter his legal relation. The author’ hold that the fact that he was to receive no compensation is of no con- sequence. Relations which gave him supe- rior information concerning the proposed loca- tion of buildings, the confidence of the Com- missioners in respect to the reasonableness of prices, and a preference over others as a nego- titor in these purchases, go far toward bringing him within the list of those who may not act adversely to the interest of the persons who place confidence in them- ‘The superficial examination by the committee “ fabrics—and, of course, the Swallow-Tail Coat is fashionable.

A thorough * examination by the committee of all these purchases may result in a substantial verification of the accuracy of the Commissioners’ original belief as to their relations with Mr. Cox. In this case it would be the duty of the Commissioners, acting for the District, to seek to recover from him any moneys te which, under the law, he would not be en- titled. In this view of the matter does it not occur to the Commissioners and the assistant attorney for the District, whose services are paid for by the District taxpayers, that it would be wise in this investigation to content themselves with showing that the Commis- sioners were not personally implicated | Britt in and knew nothing of any depart- ure from his legal duty by their \ intermediary, and not wise to mix their for- ‘tunes with those of the latter by their course Srecrar.
