Mr. Fieko. — We desire to object formally to the introduction of the 

 affidavits as not being competent evidence upon the ground we are 

 not able to cross-examine the parties making them. 



Mr. Adams. — I will say to the committee the remaining witness I 

 have, a telegram was received from him this afternoon that he will be 

 unable to be here before Thursday morning, I suppose owing to the 

 flood he was unable to come and his business affairs may require his 

 attention at home ; I wrote to him myself on the adjournment and 

 directed him to reply to me here, and no letter came ; this telegram 

 the clerk informs me was from his wife, who says he was away, but 

 would be home so as to be here on Thursday morning ; of course I 

 have nothing to say if the committee desire to hear his testimony, and 

 if he testifies to what he tells me it will be important testimony ; if 

 they desire to hear him they will take such action as seems to be best. 



Chairman Ryan. — It is probable then that if he be here on Thursday 

 morning and another witness that has been requested to be here also, 

 and who has been asked to come to-morrow evening, the probabilities 

 are we can get through with both of these witnesses on Thursday? , 



Mr. Adams. — Yes. 



Chairman Ryan. — That will finish one part of the testimony as far 

 as will be taken here.
