He did that without referring the details to me. I say that In fairness to what has been stated, he did that in the best of faith and in the exer- cise of his judgment. which is as nearly right. as the judgment ot any man, that it was only right, to the whole question after this statement had been given to the press. It should be in the hands of men who were duly being called upon to answer.
