Mr. Jenner. Then for all practical purposes, Doctor, in making your speech last week you relied on Oliver Exhibit No. 8?
Mr. Oliver. Plus the letter for the date.
Mr. Jenner. For what date?
Mr. Oliver. The date of the rehearsal.
Mr. Jenner. I see. Did you make any attempt to determine whether there was such a person who purported to write you a letter?
Mr. Oliver. As the writer of the letter, you mean?
Mr. Jenner. Yes.
Mr. Oliver. No; I did nothing with the letter.
Mr. Jenner. You just put it aside?
Mr. Oliver. Yes; as for Captain Cloy, I did ascertain that there was such a person.
