took a route. The pay and service on
the route were reduced. I was to

of the line of McDonald, Kirk A Cos.,
w anted ♦2o,o''o I refused. He said,
“If you don’t pay you’ll he left.” 1
replied, “I’ll be left anyhow.’’ He
proposed to have the pay on the route
increased. I agreed to pay him tlie
money, and very soon the pay was
raised to 1135,000 a year, to continue
three years. The increase, however,
did not continue long. Hines had
gone too far, and an investigation was
demanded. It amounted to nothing.
After it was over, Chase Andrews,
employed in the sixth and tier's office,
handed me a list on which I was
marked for SB,OOO “What’s this for?”
said I. “That congressional investi
gation,’’ said he. I refused to pay it.
He then told me that llrady wished to
sec me. I w ent. He asked me about
the money. I did not pay. My route
was cut flown, and the whole line was
thrown into confusion. Hines annoyed
me for money, and I told him 1 was
being wrecked. “Have you not a
temporary arrangement with Brady?”
lie asked. '‘No.” Then he said: “You
arc persecuted; I will go ami beard the
lion in his den.’’ He did so. Brady
wanted $2,400 from me. I refused for
some time, but finally concluded that
it was best to accommodate him I
then asked him for an increase of pay,
and tie said he was not making in
creases just for amusement. I spoke
of a petition, and lie said petitions
were no good unless the fates were
propitious. He wanted SB,OOO for the
congressional investigation fund. I
asked him to settle the matter and find
someone to take the route off my
hands. After some trouble, Lilly,
father of a clerk in the sixth auditor’s
office, offered me $25,000 for the route.
My stock had cost me $35,000, and I
wanted $50,000. 1 thought at fine
time I could get that, hut failed. I
concluded that I couM not make much
money in Washington, so I went to
New York among the wolves. 1 asked
|>ernnssion to sub-let the route. It
was granted. I told Brady I thought
lie would be indicted. He said he had
a corner on the grand jury. I hnd the
mail carried as faithful!} as any one,
but Brady said it was not carried
properly, ami I was fined. My per
mission to sub let was revoked, and 1
was declared a failing contractor. 1

in. While I was tisitmg my family
here, Woodward called to see me, and
said the department had learned that
1 had been badly treated, and that

the tines and penalties. I told him all
the lin ts, and they were remitted. 1
asked for an extra month’s pay, but
Elmer, second assistant postinaster

pay it. I told Merrick how 1 lmd test i
fied before the grand jury about the
Kellogg case. He said Bliss had not
told him anything about the testimony.
He said, “liliss is a d— d sooundrel,’’
an<l I said “I agree with you.” When
summoned before the Hutchinson
grand jury, [ had my papers with me,
hut the jury did not seem to want
them. Bliss remarked, “It is a serious
thing to indict, a senator.”
the men knew their business. There
was enough evidence before the |ury
to warrant 100 indictments. Merrick
afterwards asked me to appear before
the grand jury. I said “I will not, if
Bliss represents the government. He
is not an honest man. Ho is as much
a criminal as any of the defendants.
