Mr. Ingersoll. I will do that.
But we shall show to you that at least one United States Senator, urging such increase, was the paid agent of these defendants.
Mr. Bliss. I then went on and said we should show it if you put him on the stand.
Mr. Ingersoll. Yes, if we furnished you the evidence.
Mr. Bliss. No, sir; that is not what I said.
Mr. Ingersoll. Why didn't you produce the Senator?
Mr. Bliss. Why didn't you put him on the stand?
Mr. Ingersoll. How did I know what Senator you meant?
Mr. Bliss. Did you have two?
Mr. Ingersoll. No, sir; and we did not have the one. If you could have proved it, it was your duty, as the attorney of the United States, to do it, and if you did not do it, you did not do your duty in this case.
