This caused a great sensation, since both Stewart and Hay have long lieen noted lobbyists here. All these accounts
were allowed him by one board of Directors of the road. They were suspended by a succeeding Board, and thus their charac ter developed. The committee instructed Durant to produce all the vouchers of any kind taken by him in j this transaction. He was also directed to pro-
j uuce the clic ks he gave Mr. Harlan in IMS. I i The testimony also developed the fact that : Oakes Anies' contract covered 247 miles of
road already completed, and that tho Anncontract for the construction d this section was greater than the original cost of building i it. This gave about tt,0W,0W profit to divide among the stockholders of the Credit Mobilier

called to vote on the railroad. Ex-Congt , -man James F. Wilson, of Iowa, made a state-
j nient that he was offered and refused the ; stock, but arterward liought some bir investj ment. Amos' lssik-keeer swore that Ames 1 had a list or Congressmen to whom I. iM
stock in a hook. The testimony taken betöre the Credit Mobilier investigation on the 20th was rather cumulative than new. Mr. Dillon, tho President or the Credit MoMUw. testified that (lakes
Ames had said that he was under obligations to members or Congress, but he could not rememlier that Ames had moutioued anv names I
to him. and was not positive as to the extent of these obligations. Ho testified that Itrooks
came to him one day. and told lum that he had
received 100 shares of st.x-k from Durant. and under the rule authorizing the increase he was entitled to the 50 shares additional. He promised to consult the directors, did so. and they agreed to let him have them. Rrooks theu said he had transferred his interest in the shares to Neilson. who came to get the shares. At the same time he borrowed rrom DUlon 5.00 to ay f.r the stock. Mr. Durant paid ror the stock transierred to him Oythe company. He declared that ItmnW i..,'i
i nothing to do with the loan made to Neilson, j and to the best or his recollection the latter paid par and interest for his stock. He could ! "ot recount whether Brcs.kV name had lieen erased from the liooks and Neilson s inserted j or not. The investigation in the second Mr ; mittee is about to turn on the deposition made , j by J. R. Stewart, of the immense sums paid him to influence legislation on the Pacific rail- , road. Senator Patterson. r New Hampshire, vol- ! untarily apieared Mwe the committee again. , on the 21st. and insisted that what he had herel tofore stated was correct, which was that he ' gave Ames money ror investment in Union Pacific railroad stock and Ismds. and was not ' aware that the latter ha.) ant-lied it to the nan. I
chase or Credit Mobilier stock. Iu proor c.r this he said that Ames had written lüm two lettors last rail, relieving him or the charge made in the Senatorial campaign in New Hampshire
I mai ne i-atterson ihad owned this st.s k which j 'eMprs were produced and read by the latter. Oakes Ames looked up with considerable aston- , ishment. and at his request was at once placed j on the stand. Ho said it was true that he had ! written these letters, but had been so imjwir- ! tuned to save Patterson that he could not well
get rid or writing them; that while they were true I on their race, that Patterson's name did not n-
pear on the books as an owner or the Mobilier stock, they were not true in spirit, as Ames had bought and carried the stock with Patterson's money, and he paid Patterson dividends on the same. It is understood that Ames has round his memorandum liook and his memory, and is prepared now to overturn most or the evidence which Congressmen have given in their own liehaH.
