FOUND A MAN WHO WAS
IN PAY OF CHRISTMAS.
But He Alleges That He Was to Do
Nothing Wrong, and That When
the Dane Proposed Crooked Work,
He (Knox) Drew Out..
Washington, April 7. The special
committee appointed to investigate
the charges made by Captain Christ
mas, In connection with the purchase
of the Danish West Indies, reconven
ed today. Senator Depew was the
first witness. He denied knowing
Christmas, or of having conferred
with anyone concerning the sale of
the islands.
Charles Knox, mentioned in Christ
mas' report as a friend of Hanna8,
tsetified that ho entered into a con-
tract with Christinas to further the
enterprise, for which he was to re
ceive $350 a month and $15,000 if the
deal went through. Later, Christmas
ontered into objectionable contracts
and he (Knox) washed his hands of
the entire affair. Knox declared
there was no understanding he was
to bribe anyone. All ho had done
was to get tho views of the senators
as to the prospects for the proposed
Sale.
Secretary Hay's Connection There
with. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, testified
that he saw Captain Christmas twice,
hut denied he had promised to use
his best endeavors to bring about the
purchase.
A letter from Secretary Hay men
was submitted. In it the secretary
stated that ho thought Christmas'
story was of sufficient interest to ue
worth investigation, and he would
send a trusted agent to meet Christ
mas In Copenhagen. He decided to
Rfind Ifenrv White, assistant secre
tary of the American embassy In Lon
don, and gave Christmas an introduc
tion to him. Hav then says his con
nection with the matter ceased entirely.
