Mr. Chairman, I object. His motion is out of order. I had a motion
before the Committee asking the Committee asking the Committee to make
a motion, to ask him to stay. Now, by all the rules of Parliamentary
motion making, mine anti-dates his. And I will stake a Reputation on
it that goes back to the first class Passengers that landed from that
Mother Ship of mine the Mayflower, who have so gloriously populated the
fair state of Massachusetts.
SENATOR ROBINSON
Mr. Chairman, I object. The fair state of Arkansas houses one direct
descendant of that Plymouth Rock Expedition. And I protest when the
Gentleman from Massachusetts claims the entire Cargo of that ill-fated
Voyage. Never as long as I represent the majority constituency of my
Glorious state will I stand by and hear the ozone swept Ozarks spoken
of disparagingly, especially by that Moron State of Massachusetts.
SENATOR WILLIS
Gentlemen, I don’t think that Mr. Daugherty should be let out without a
trial.
SENATOR WHEELER
Why, he has had three year’s trial already. His trial is what’s letting
him out.
SENATOR WALSH
Who will we call next?
DOORTENDER
Why just get a Census return, and call anybody’s name on it; they are
waiting outside.
SENATOR LA FOLLETTE
Why don’t you call somebody unexpectedly, and maybe in their confusion
they will tell the truth accidentally.
SENATOR LENROOT
Who said anything about wanting the truth?
SENATOR HEFLIN
I want to ask the Committee why they called on Mr. Fall at his hotel in
private.
SENATOR WALSH
We wanted to see where he got the hundred thousand. We may retire
ourselves some day.
SENATOR HEFLIN
Why didn’t you tell at the time that you went to see him?
SENATOR WALSH
Wait a minute, who is running this investigation? Am I supposed to ask
the questions, or to answer them?
SENATOR LENROOT
Where is Sinclair?
MR. ZEVERLY
(whose running name is Zev.)
My Client, Mr. Sinclair has gone to the races and it will be impossible
for him to appear until after the season is over.
SENATOR WALSH
Well how about McLane? Can we get him?
SENATOR CARAWAY
You can get him by Telegraph, I guess. Everybody else has.
SENATOR WALSH
Well, where is Detective William J. Burns? He was supposed to testify
here today.
DOORTENDER
Mr. Chairman, I met him on the Street and he couldn’t find the Capitol
Building.
