During nil this tlmo of the military operations In TeiiHCBBOO that urmpany wai carrying on the general telegraphing for thi confederacy ? A , The confederates had wires of their owt hut they sometimes hid to use the other linei because they roichod places that wo could no roach ; in that case they tranaiuittcd anything that came along.

Did you quit your telegraphic duties when the Union army got there ? A. I quit a week before they nrrivod , nnd would not touch the wires again , becauao I was disgusted witti the confeda , and thought I would get out as soon as possible ; I got dis gusted with their conduct.

How long did you stay in Nashville after the union coldlers got in ? A. It might have been a week after I had the wires across the river ; I found that it was best for mo to go north.

Yes , to the extent that I communi cated to him the condition as they were when he arrived , and tholr going down through the country that I had lived In Alabama and he wanted mo to accompany him , but I thought on the whole that it was not as desirable to do that as te go into another department whore I had no personal acquaintance. Q. You gave htm a statement of affairs as soon as he arrived ? A. I first wanted permission to use the lines ; the daughter of the ex-governor died suddenly from fright on the bombardment of Bowline Green and I being the only operator the people asked mo to transmit the news from across the river ; I crossed In a skiff ad asked to be condncted to Mitchell , and asked his permission to use the wire , and the next day Gen. Buel sent for mo. I found Thomas A Scott there and informed him about the same thing and bo said that he would like to have mo put up the wires across the river , Q. When the Union forces got there you went to them and reported as much as you could the situation and what had been going on there while the confederates weie in posses sion ? A.

I did not know where they had gone to , but I stated the condition in which they were when they left. Q. You gave them all the information that you could ? A. Such information as within the roach of anybody that hadaccess to what was gain on. Q , Ic was after this that you were employed in the union porvlcc ?

Was there nny throats made at that time ? ft-A. Notlr ; they said they would keep their eyes on me , that Is all , Mr. Thurston You fixed it up with him , And it wout along all right ? A.

Objected to. A. I had heard the charge , as my memory serves mo , and I had seen it In print before this publication in the St. Paul Phonograph ; I could not state how general , but it was a matter of some years during which I had heard that charge ; aa to ex actly how extensive , I could not say ; I think the most specific charge of the kind which I over hoard against Mr. Rosewater - water was from Mr. Vandervoort in Omaha some three years before this publication when I was publishing the Newn here ; it is my memory that it was published in the News at that time ; to give a definite answer it is very hard to state how general ; it had been so general that I considered it n matter of com Dion knowledge ; that was before this publica tion. tion.CJ State when and how that paper dated the 22d would be made up ?

" Tlio morning edition of thi daily Is made up at different times in th night , the selections tor the edltoria would be generally made in the afternoon , The daily of the 23d would bo made up th nifjht of the 22d and morning of the 23d ; had edited several different papers ; The Fremont Tribune and the Omaha News , Q. You had heard this charge as to Rose- water's loyalty who , besides .Mr. Vander- voort ei er spoke to you about that charge prior to the 20th of December , 1882 who can you name ? A. The time when Vandervoort made tha. charge there was considerable political excite ment in this state and during that time I beard that charge frequently made as apportion of the argument against Ilosewater ; I cannot tellfrom whom ; it was a matter of general hear eny ; cannot name n single individual except Mr , Vandervoort , who told mo that Rosowatei had been arrested as a rebel spy ; think Mr , Vaudervoort is in town ; saw him day befon yesterday ; met him on the street ; knew then that this casa was iminent ; Itwas so long age that I do not know the authority Mr , Vander voort gav.o me. Q , What reason did ho glvo you , if any , fo Baying that he was a rebel spy ? A. None ; he volunteered it. Q. Did he pretend to have any kuowkdgi on the subject ? A. I think ho did.

Will you give the exact language ai nearly as yen can when ho nmdo that state- uient ? A. I can't remember the language , Q , It was that Rosewater was u rebel A. I cannot sav that ho used exactly those words , but I gathered that impression from what ho said. Q. I am asking for the language as near n you can recall it. A , I cannot remember one word of the Ian gunge that ho ui d. Q. Did he say what proofs he had that you recollect ? A. No sir. Q. When was it tint you had this conver catlcn with Vandervoort. A. I cannot eay ; it was some time before this publication. Q. You speak of it as n time of great politi cal excitement what particular question was on foot ? A , I don't romomber. Q. How do you know that it was a time of Treat political excitement if y > u can not re member when it wae ? A. It was an attack on Rosowater'a politi- : al character. Q , Itwas on his political character the ittacKs were made ? A. Entirely so. Q , Is its part of your custom to attack n nan outside of his political record when you ire politically opposed to him do you attack lis private character ? A. This was considered a part of his public ecord. I } , You do not regard It as an attack upon i man's character to call him a rebel spj ? It i merely to his political standing , A , I do not regard it as an attack upon his irivate chancier with a considerable political earing , Q , It is on his political record that you mda this attack when you published this rtlclo ? A , I could not swear as to that , ( i. The date of Una Is December 22 , 1832. Vhat election was pending then , or what par- cular political excitement wai tbtre then to idncu you to attack KcueMator'd private Imracter ? A. I didn't nttacV It. Q In that all the answer you desire to iale ? A , I dun't know that there wai ( my pollt-1 : al excitement at the tlmo. Q. You i-ay you didn't attack hia private laraoter ; didn't you insert this article- ? A , Yei , sir. Q Have you not ; jnet eiid that yon re anloil it us ati littcck upon his tirivftto char- Hot ? A. I might have , origtaally , Q. Made by you ? A. Yee , * ir. (2 ( , Didn't you insctt it in the paper } A. I published it , but not as an attacl upon hi * character. Q. Why did you inseit that nt that partic ulnr time ? A. An n matter of news and comment , Q. Is it true that you Inserted It ns n mat ter of news ? A. In one it might bo considered so , and in the other , comment. Q , Let us look at the question of news this was known nnd believed all over the state that he was n rebel spy ? A , I can n at snrcnr , Q Did you believe that tiila wan generally known over the state ? A. Yes sir. Q. Then , If generally known over the state why did you publish it as a matter of now * ? A , I supposed there wore n great many people that dld'nt know it , I } , And you published it with the design of inlormlngall thcso people that didn't know It ; is that true ? A , I published it as any other thing that I would take from n country paper , ( J , Would yon have publuhed the same Ihlug if it had been against Judge VVakely. Thurston or Hall , or nny Individual , if It had nppcnred In the St. Paul Phonograph ! Ai I would , under the snma circumsttncos. Q , If you had the same feeling ? A , Not that , but if it had been generally understood nnd published for several years , nud hy seeing it in this panor Bgainst any gentleman who had not denied It to my knowl edge , I might have public heel it. ( j , Your idea is to publish articles that are generally known nnd not denied - you say tlmt under the circumstances which would have induced you to publish this would have induced you to publish it against any reputable - blo citizen of the state if It was not dented do you mean to say that this rumor had never been denied ? A. At the tlmo of this publication it had not boon denied , ( J. What publication ? A , The first publication of the article. Q. Had it been denied at the time of the second publication on the 23d ? Objected to as improper cross-examination , immaterial and for the reason that the proof shows that that publicatian was not on the 23rd. 23rd.Q Had it not been denied prior to the second publication in the daily which occurred on the 22nd , A. Yes it had been. Q. When you hoard this story or at nny time subsequent to the time of its publication by you , had yon made any efforts whatever tn verify the accusation or to ascertain the tiuth in regard to it , A. Mr , Kosowatcr had bren conducting a paper in this city by which he could defend himself , and I very naturally supposed that if the charge was untrue ho would have made such n defense ; I nuvor had eecn n defense.
