When Senator Mitchell came nome in December last to demand hearing before the federal grand Jury, he dis cussed the old agreement of 1901 with Judge Tanner, and it was decided to amend It. This was done, as Is shown in the exlracts from the agreement, following. The amended contract; was dated March B, 1901. and It was this which was produced in the grand Jury room by Judge Tanner on Janu ary 81. ' Both contracts were alike In every particular and contained the follow ing provisions: That said co-partner-uhlp between said John H. Mitchell und A. H. Tanner for the practice of the law be continued under the firm name of Mitchell & Tanner.

I have never had any correspondence or any words with the senator about It since ne leri here. This contract is an exact copy of the partnership agreement that was Bigned at this date, Harcn a. 1801. except as to that clause about the departmental business. That Is the one we changed. In all other re spects It is the same as the real con tract that was signed." "Have you the original, or an orig inal of the first contract?" the- wit ness was asked, and he replied that he had.
