The young man, thus called upon, read from the book in a clear and distinct voice. The transcript that he made from the notes was identical with the report of the speeches that Felix Conway had made in his newspaper.
"That is sufficient," said Senator Graves, and rising, and putting one hand on Conway's shoulder and the other on Barry's, he said:
"There is nothing further to be said in the matter. You boys know your business. You have the proof conclusive that you were in the right. No one can successfully attack Mr. Conway's report."
CHAPTER XXIII WHAT BARRY OVERHEARD
John Carlton was very much concerned with the current political developments and felt a particular interest in the storm which had been aroused by Jesse Hudson's ill advised meeting. He was discussing the situation with a fellow member of the House when he was joined by Felix Conway, his Celtic face aglow with enthusiasm.
"We've got 'em going, Mr. Carlton!" he exclaimed.
The Congressman nodded soberly.
"Yes, you've got 'em going, all right," he assented.
