 here and not to be here will prevent us from putting Mr. Garmon on 



and completing his examination. 



Chairman Ryan. — Put the letters on afterward. 



Mr. Fiero. — Mr. Garmon should be examined in regard to those 

 letters. We can close everything except Mr. Garmon. 



Chairman Ryan. — We don't expect to stay here and have you bring 

 a cloud of witnesses and commence the investigation again. • 



Mr. Fiero. — You will expect us to bring as many here as to meet 

 the allegations of this man, I take it. We don't want to go into any- 

 thing new, but there have been certain charges made by this man and 

 we want to meet those, and as to that we simply want an opportunity 

 on Tuesday evening to do it. 



Chairman Ryan. — How soon will it be possible for you to get those 

 letters here ? 



Mr. Turner. — I expect to go to New York to-night and I may pos-

Mr. Fiero. — We don't know there are any such letters. Suppose 

 there is something we want to ask Mr. Garmon in relation to those 

 letters. 



Chairman Ryan. — I don't think we will wait simply for those letters 

 and telegrams; we will be here on Tuesday evening and go on and 

 hear any evidence you may wish to offer; if you will take up the 

 whole evening, that evening, we will perhaps give you all that 

 time. I may say the name of this witness is Mr. Paulding. He lives 

 in Westchester county. He is a frequent visitor to the Adirondacks. 

 He comes more with the desire to offer suggestions in regard to the 

 proposed legislation than to give testimony on matters relating to this 

 investigation, but we wish to ask him some questions relative to 

 matters that have been under investigation here as he has been fre- 

 quently in the woods. He is a very prominent man. It won't take
