A. Not within my own knowledge, it doesn't come within the line of 

 my work, so I couldn't say positively. 



Q. I think that is all I care to ask now ? 



Mr. Fiero. — That is all. 



Chairman Etan. — Have you any other witness ? 



Mr. Fiero. — Not this evening. 



Chairman Etan.— Will you have any more ? 



Mr. Fiero. — Yes, sir; we have two or three others we think we can 

 finish in one evening. 



Chairman Evan. — To-morrow evening ? 



Mr. Fiero.— Tes, sir. 



Mr. Anibal.— We have some witnesses, Mr. Chairman, that of course 

 would be material as we deem them, provided testimony was given 

 which might call for some explanation. 



Chairman Evan. — That is testimqny that is offered on the part of 

 the counsel for the committe hereafter ? 



Mr. Anibal. — Tes; of course we want time to reply to them and 

 look after that carefully so that no errors would creep in, or any mis- 

 representations had before the committee. When the other side close 

 up finally we can then inform you very readily how long it will take 

 us. We shall be very brief; I think the committee will bear us out in 

 the fact that we have been very expeditious when they haven't had 

 anything to go with we have taken it up and gone on by piece-meal. 



Chairman Eyan. — Will you have witnesses here to-morrow evening ? 



Mr. Fiero. — We expect to have. 



Mr. Anibal. — I don't think we could have them all here possibly 

 to-morrow evening. 



Mr. Adams. — If the committee will allow I want to ask Mr. Pox a 

 question which is suggested. 



William F. Fox, recalled: 

 By Mr. Adams: 



Q. The mail for the commissioners is brought to their office in this 

 building, is it not? 



A. Yes, sir. 



Q. When meetings have been held in New York has the mail been 

 sent to that meeting unopened, to Mr. Kneval's office? 



A. I don't know what the secretary's custom was in that respect 



Q. Do you know of any occasion where the mail was sent there 

 addressed to the commissioners and it was returned not opened and 

 remained unopened for some length of time ? 



A. No, sir.
