Declares Bailey Claimed
Trip to Texas Was to
Head off Expansion
Movement.
ttpfiBt to The^tleontia. —:
Austin. Tax.. Feb. is.—'The legisla
tive Inveetlgntlng committee Inquiring
Into the conduct of Senator Joseph W.
Bailey held a lively eeealon yesterqpy.
The Inquiry assumed Interesting pro
portions when Congressman Robert
Henry, of Texas, took the witness stand
and testified that on April 1100, he
.met Senator Bailey at tiia request of
the latter, who was returning from St.
Louis. Bailey told hint he bed heard
that an effort was being made to send
an expansionist delegation to congress
and lie wanted hta assistance to help
him,prevent II.
Continuing. Mr. Henry said:
"I Invited him to stop over at Waco,
so we could talk It over at leisure. He
did so, and went to my hotel with me.
**1*119 n>xt morning Mr BhIYfv ni*h a d
me about the Waters-Plerce OH Com
pany's suits.
“He told me that David R. Francis
hsd asked him to do what he could to
have the suits dismissed and he had
consented to do what he could In a
friendly way.
"Mr. Bailey told me that Mr. Pierce
would be willing to make p settlement
of the suits, and I replied that such a
course would be entirely satisfactory,
If the terms of the settlement could be
agreed upon by all parties concerned."
Agreed to Withdraw Suit.
The witness stated that he sum
moned Judge Bcott and County Attor
ney Cullen K Thomas to a conference
the next morning and It waa there de
cided that If the Watere-Pierce Oil
Company would pay 110.000 to the state
and 11,000 to Henry A Strlbbllng, who
were employed to assist In the prosecu
tion, the suite would be dlsmleeed.
Judge Bcott at that conference called
the attention of nil parties to the fact
that the case might be evaded because
of the dissolution of the old company.
At a conference held a Jew days later
the wttnees said Mr. Pletce and Judge
J. D, Johnson, general attorney for the
company, attended-ond the settlement
was agreed upon. Then Mr. Pierce
stated that In consideration of the set
tlement he would expect to have the
felony cases against him dismissed.
"Mr. Thomas refused to agree to
this." said the witness, "and I sup
ported him In that refusal end this Is
the real reason why the settlement of
the penalty suits fell through."
The witness testified that nve months
afterwards, because of personal dlfllcul-
tles with County Attorney Cullen i\
Thomas, the firm of Henry A Blrlb-
bllng had withdrawn from the rose.
Mr. Henry lead a numlier of letters,
which had figured In the coiiKresslon.il
new,illation <» McLennan und Falls
counties several years ago, relative li
the dispute between himself und Mr.
Thomae
Mr. Cocke usked the witness It he
was sure the nisi conference was held
April !•) between Mr. Bailey. Judge
Bcott. Mr. rhnmua. Mr. BtrHibllng and
himself, nnd a second conference a few
days later, even If Judge Bcott und Mr.
Thomas denied the first conference. The
witness said lie could not be mistaken.
To Heed Off Movement.
The witness said Mr. Bailey was the
first person who eeer suggested the
Waters-Plerce settlement to him, and
had then told him thnt Mr. Pierce was
desirous of effecting a reasonable set
tlement. He could not recull Mr. Bai
ley's language, but remembered he had
been very earnest und positive.
The witness declared that Mr. Bailey
had wired Mr. Htrlbbllng to meet him
In Hillsboro, und run down on the tram
with hint; thnt on arcounl of Mr. Hlrtb-
bllng being sick, that he (Henry) had
met Mr. Halley Instead: that 5!r. Hal
ley had told him his purpose In return
ing wus in heud off the expansionist
movement In Texas: that Mr. Bailey
was going right on to Austin, and had
stopped In Waco only at his earnest'
solicitation, and the conference about
the Waters-Plerce OH Company was
held after they had returned to their
