When sober they were the moat at. feetionnte brothers I have ever known, bnt when in liquor they were quarrelsome. ) have never known them to have a differ ence when sober. When sober Tony W»« as mild nnd retiring as h child—bnt when drinkiog his whole nature was changed—and he beeams an aggressive man. My theory ia that they were I" th drinking end that they quarrelled in that room. That puto’,"poiut ng to the weapon, “was kept in a dressing case in the room. I think that they had a struggle to ge t hold of it, that Bob sneoeeded in grasping it— that Tony grabbed him, and that he then fired upon him end billed him. Then realizing what he had done, turned the weapon upon himself and fired a bullet into bie head. The pistol formerly belonged to Col. Pike Hill, their father, who gave it to Bob about two years ago. He was not in tho habit of oarrying the weapon—bnt kept it in the dressing cate to which I have alluded.” Dr. Fred Palmer was the nett witness; “Tony Hill end Bob Hill I knew well. Both drank. Tony came into Jooobs’a drugstore night before last and told me that Dob was on a spree, and added: 'I want yon In givo him something to get him straight.

Homo to famish the mat hie for the interior work ot, tl)e|captu4 in de the prceeut j ear. ‘‘At the time ot i heleocudadvertisement, I saw Gover.v r M 'kaniel and told him that, as an a u iti, eut of tha marble, we wonld fat MS'! it at a nominal coat, and -*••! him to have a «d- tn—the - cdturacl hat preferenco should tie given to Georgia material. The Governor auid that waa the view of the commission, and that tho provision would ho inserted. I under stood it was inserted. • Since that time, all th.it I have done was in accord with wh.it I thought waa tho Governor's view, and of other p omineut men. “Afier tbs interview with Governor Mo- Biuiel, I met Dewar, nnd had u talk with him. 1 told him cf my interview with the Governor. He said be hml talked with others, and it wo did not antagonize the 0 immisei in would he nbln to gt t an increase of tho appropriation. Dcwur said hit would be willing to furniah material at approximately actual cost. Ho said I was here and. knew the people, nnd if I w onlil try to affect public sentiment, to crea'o an opinion favoring the marble, In a proper way, he wonld do what was right. 1 said it would take money - some money to publish articles and employ counsel to represent tho marble betoru the Legislature nnd commission. 11c said he waa not authorized to hind hia company, but would agree to give individually $k») for that purpose. I agreed to do tbo same. 1 was requested by Lim to prepare a written contract embodying tbo agreement, which 1 did. Di ver and I signed it and the paper was eisft to H. O Clements, of Chicago, for raliflcation. Clements returned the contract disapproved, .tiling that hia c mipany would not enter into a oontract lo lie up tho whole product of marble to tho State Capitol, but wrote a letter to mo and a letter to D iwar, which, with u conversa tion with Dewar, led me to believe that the contract oragrrement was still substantially of force, and I went on in my tffurls tn be half of Georgia marble aa before. 1 did snend money in carrying ont this purpose, the amount approximating $3,0(10, estimating my own servioea and time. Between the time of my first agreement with Dewar and the return of the contract by Clements, when Dewar’s name wai erased from it, I cannot aay exactly how much was spent. I kept memoranda. Home of these have Lean destroyed, after settle ment of the accounts had been made and I had no further use for them. ••When I dr.* decided to mske sn effort to get Georgia marble substituted, I saw that it would be necessary to pnbliab news paper articles to reach the public, I paid for all the articles published by me in the Atlanta Constitution on thu subject The iUms were from $1 to $20, and in all amounted to between $123 and $150. The report cf the Senate tub committee that in vestigated tho question of substituting Ueorjjls marl.de, I thought was a matter of puh.io interest and I sent it to tha Consti tution. They said it wuuld have to he paid fur, and I agreed to par for It. I recognize this aa • liability for $23 which might be recovered ont of me inasuit. It wasabont that time that the Constitution publi Led a fierce and bitter attack, for wbat reason 1 do net knew, on the m> mleers of that com mittee, myself and ether., “I p id iho Atlanta Journal for publishing similar articles about the a .me amount paid the Constitution. • I paid the that time by articles, between $3u and $73.'

I thought ae they wer* probably mora inatrnmental than any other influence save tbe l larke eonnty delegation in McDaniel'* nomination, they might have influence on this appointment. Livingston, Untler, Pmllipa and myself mat in the agiionltnral department Nobody elie was preaeot We talktd over the appointment of Crane’ anc'oaaor. I think Phillips waa to favor c. Frank Bice. After niicnaaingit wa decided tn nrg. Umler'a appointment, and failing in that to Iry to get Liv ingston. LivE'pstnn went to aea t#ov. McDaniel on tti« .object, and return ing, reported the Governor wonld not ap point any hut an Alltnt* mao. Ue invited I.

Wo met again next morning Probably Biaaner waa present. Phillips sngg.sted that the names of Frank ltice and Marlin II Dooley be pre sented to the Governor. Livingstone said be wanted D. A.

He reported when be returned that he met Henry Gra dy e lining out of tb* executive office. Go ing to to the Governor, Livingstone said he hml come at the Governor’s r .qaaat the day before to inggeat the name of an Atlanta (riaud for Capitol oommlaaloner. Tbe Gov ernor said, 'I have already made the ap pointment’ In anrpriae, Mvipgslone said, ‘yon have?* ThaGonrnor aaia *yca, and 1 want to explain why. In addition to other reason*, the com mission an decided wa are obliged to hav* th* support of tbe Constitution, and 1 hare appointed E. P. llo.ell.' Livingstone gave the Governor a knowing look as this was said.'” The witness continued, “I paid Dr. But ler $10 to cover his actual expenses on throe trip* to Atlanta at my request Gave him *' on two different occasions. 1 gars the Capitol -It ‘porter, published at by JT. T. Taylor, for similar Intimately and | Bean’s talk. Livingston $3) cash, wbioh I estimated would cover bis actnal expense*. He eame here several times. I also paid IV. II. tUmmona, of Jasper, G*., $23. That wai during the taaaion cf 1884. I think Sim- mons was here in the interest of the Marietta and North Gtorgia railroad. I told him if he wonld remain and talk np Gw marble, I wonld pay bia expanses, reel tec’ion is I paid tbe amount without hi* asking for it 1 paid money to Riacner at different time*. lit was not then In the employ ot tbo Perseverance Mining Com psny, and the company did not owe him 1 cent. Biaantr had been discharged for drunkenness and incompetaney—neglect of hia bnaines.. I paid Biaaner in annu rang ing from $10, $15 to $50,” AS TO TAIN AND RANKIN. , "1 never gave Gon, Phillips money to he paid to anybody else, nod can’t a vy whether I did or did net pay him money in the presence of any body else. I may have done to. a« I wa* continually paying him money. “On tho t vtiuing the Legislature ad journed, referred to by Biaaner, I promised to pay Phillips some money at a place eng- grated by him. Late in Iho aft-rnoon Biaaner came to my office and raid Phillip* was waiting for me nt Mercer’s, q lliaancr told me he wonld like somo money aa he needed it, and asked me to give it to him that night. 1 told him to tell Phillips I would be with him soon. I also told Bisa- n.-r I wonld probably bo able to give him (Biaaner) some money. In abont throe- qnartera of an hour I went to Mercer’s. At the room indicated C found Phillips and Roomer there, bnt no one else. 1 banded $200 to Phillips and told him to give Biaaner sdme bnt whether $30 or $10, I can’t remember. Then certainly was no one prevent In the room except Phillips and Biaaner. 1 here may have been some one passing in the hall when I went np, bnt I do not re- member. Neither Fain nor Rankin was present in that room; and I wont in no other. I left Phillips and Divaner tcgsthci, and I did not see either Fain or ltankin when I wat going there or coming srrsy. I don’t know what Pbillipa did with that money. I took anpprr that night at my residence. I nevor took an oyster supper, that I t (member, when Fain and,Rankin were present" A "MACON BTXW.” Home merriment was caused by the wit ness’* reference in the following connection to a “Macon stew.” He mid: “I did not temember till a day or two ago that 1 had ever eaten an oyster sapper with Colonel ltankin, I was talking with him ab.int Biaauer’a statement and said I had no recol lection of haring had oysters with him. He reminded me of an occasion at Thompson's restaurant when ha and I had some oysters, and 1 ordered * 'Mscon stew.’ That catted to mind. I did order a ‘Macon atew,' and there waa some comment on it at th* time.” There seemed to be some ignorance on the part of the committee and the reporters aa to what is a “Mason stew," and Mr. Har- aison gave an explanation ot description of tbia tempting dish, ao tbqt no miaoonstrno- tiou might be placed on his order. Ilia explanation waa generally aeoeptoJ as sstla- tactory. The witness, to reply to a further ques tion, arid: “I am almost confident I never saw Judge Fain at the National. I did see Col. Rankin thereannmberof time*, jnat as did other members of the Legislature who were about tbe hotel, bnt I nere'r spoke to btm on tbe marble business. “I saw Jndga Fain several time*. He was at my hoot* one evening, Livingston, Phillips, and possibly Ilutltr wera present. It woe during th* teuton. Gen. Phillips bad written a reply to the Constitution’s uttauk on tbe marble lobby, and wo met to consider the matter of publishing it 10.iu't any w blither I invito l Judge Pam, bnt think PbiTllpi did, for tha purpose of asking bia opinion aa to ths pnblicstlon of tb* artiole. Tbo ume artiole wu shown Governor Smith, and be advised against it* publication, and it waa utfvor published.” At this point a motion was made to ad journ Colonel Hammond aaked that a acasisn be bad to-night, as he had been en gaged to represent Mr. Harrison for only a limited time and he wu anxious to get tbron/b with the investigation before he left lor Washington City, wbioh would la# in a few day*. An adjournment wu had to 7:311 p tu. THK XIllUT SKHHION. . ' Thoiiimiualioa of dame* P, Harrison area continued to-night Ho was question ed at some length on different points of bia testimony. Some new and iuteruting fea tures were developed, but not conaidered material to the a ecial charges of bribery. Aa to the contract made with General Phil lips, in wbiub there wera three different paper* of tbe egreement exhibited with some variances u to the data* and amonnta. Mr. Harrison wu nnablo to make a very utiafactory explanation to tha oommittee, and wu not very clear fn his own mind, bnt stated that there wu bnt one contract with Phillips, and the papers referred to that He reoalled sereral items ot expenu not remembered to-day, to-wit: A paymenttoW K Tewkesbury, stenograph er, abont $160; Dr. N. A. Pratt, for making an analysis and Uat of oolitic limestone and muhle, $23; Ubu. Pratt, $33. The commit tee footed np all tha Item* remembered by Ur. Harrison, and they amounted to $2,135. Subsequently Mr. Harrison produced tbe itemized statement referred to by CoL Abbott in bis testimony on a previous oc casion. That statement footed op $3,050 Ibe whole amount expended by him. It Included, with some small luma not hereto fore stated, and a claim against tbe Oeorgla Marbi* Company #f $800 for service#, time and expense* ot bimaalt He uhl he be lieved the Georgia Marbte Company ought to pay Lim even dollar of tbe amount, as they had failed to co-operata with him in bis efforts according to contract, bnt he claimed that they ahonld pay him half, and failing to do so he wonld snejhem. Referring to the interview ot Eager in tha ConetitnUon. referring to himself, he wu knnainely, wilfully *nd mali ciously false—an outrageous Ue. Ue never had bnt one convenatton on the snbjtet with George It. Eager, and that wu in the Btate library. Eager spoke to him there day and uked him whrt he wu doing abont the marble iiaai- mas. Harrison arid he was doing every thing that could be done in a proper way, but that If all tbe marble interests wonld c*-operate tbs snbstitntion of marble for limes Ume could be accomplished. Eager replied; “U yon will pntyoor marble forces to help get the if arietta and North Georgia railroad through I will put the Marietta aul North Georgia railroad rare** at work to get yonr marble scheme through.” Harriaonde- clined to go into the arrangement Ue had no regard for Eager u a man, and wonld hare nothing to do with. The witness reitentcl that be had never given any money or pres ent* to IUnktn. Th* examination was lengthy, bnt thia oovered gtbe scope of it.
