 I have not conferred with, and I am not prepared to put him on the 

 stand. I desire some time to examine Mr. Gannon. It is now half- 

 past nine, and I could put Mr. Garmon on the stand the first thing 

 to-morrow evening, and have the other witnesses ready so as to be able 

 to resume to-morrow evening whatever time the committee desire to sit. 



Chairman Ryan. — Do you wish to puj any witness on the stand 

 to-night ?

 to-night.
