This incident formed one of the sub- jects of inquiry committed to the Union Pacific Railroad Commission in 1887. The members of the commission ap- pointed by. President Cleveland consist- ed of Gov. Pattison, of Pennsylvania; E. •Ellery Anderson, of New York, and David Littler, of Illinois. The Union Pacific Railroad and the Kansas Pacific Railroad Companies had received Government subsidies in bonds and lands. The bonds were received upon the stipulation that the companies would pay at par and accumulated in- terest upon their maturity. The first of their bonds will mature in 1895. An application had been made by the Pa- cific railroads to Congress to extend the time of payment, and this commission was appointed to report upon the matter and incidentally to furnish Congress with information relative to• these deals which had affected the status of the corporations. The'commission began its sittings in Now York at No. 10- Wall street. A large number of railway.magnates inti- mately connected with the Pacificrail- roads were first eaxmined, including Russell Sage and Sidney Dillon. .They were examined particularly with a view to finding out exactly what had taken place when the Union Pacific railway was created. They seemed to know nothing about the matter. At every point the well -directed questions of the inquirers were adroitly turned aside. The witnesses did not know or could not remember. No light had yet been thrown upon the subject under examin- ation. But the greatest. witness of all was reserved for the last. This was Jay Gould. He knew it all, but the great question was "would he tell?" Nobody believed that he would tell voluntarily the facts relating to his connection with the Government interest in the'matter, but it was believed that a severe and searching cross-examination would com- pel hien to divulge some of the facts. An imr;iense amount of labor was parting_with a lot of stock at 10 cents for which I could have got par a few days after- wards. Wouldn't that impress the occasion on your memory, Mr. Anderson? Mr. Gould and everybody else in the room laughed at this retort. . Q.—According to the ethics of Wall street do you consider it absolutely- within the limits of your duty while a director of the Union Pa- cific to purchase another property and to de- sign an extension of the road, which would perhaps ruin the Union Pacific? A.--1 don't think it would have been pr:per. That's the reason I let it go. Q. -Did you consider your duty to the Gov- ernment ? A.—I had considered it. Q.—How would the Government claim have been affected by building a parallel line? A.—It would have been wiped out. From the testiinony it appeared that after the Thurman 'bill had been sus- tained by the Supreme Court Mr. Gould had a plan to build a road from Omaha to Ogden,, just outside the right of way of the Union Pacific, and to give that road back to the Government. It would give others, he said, "a chance to walk'; that the Government had tried to squeeze more out of the turnip than was in it, and that for $15,000,000 a,road could be built where it had cost the Union Pacific $75,000,000. Q.—You were not devoted to the interests of the Government? A.—I wanted to protect .thorn. Their legislative action hurt their own. • interests and put those of the .stockholders in jeopardy. The Government repudiated their own contracts. Cash was offered to pay the Government the Union Pacific debt. 1 had• the debt reckoned up and offered to pay. it. In 1877 or 1878 made the offer to the Judiciary Committee, of which Mr. Edmunds was chair- man. I made that offer myself. Tho debt was estimated at 510,000,000 or 517,000,000. But the Government would not concede that interest terminated with the bonds. No action was takep on the proposition. Mr. Gould said that he had bought the Central Branch of- the Union Pacific from Oliver Ames and President Pome- roy, who came on from Boston to New York and induced, hina to go and look at the,property. It had cost him $1,826,- 500. "I thought it was doing a big basil nese," said the witness, ' `Afterwards I learned that they had kept the freight back for a week to impress me.

"I 'paid his seat in the witness chair. Men on the inside and familiar with the , lines along which the inquiry should be directed devoted weeks to the study of figures and the procurement of papers upon which to base the questions which should be asked of Mr. Gould. Dozens of questions on the sante subject were prepared. If he answered one question one way he was to be asked a certain question, and if he answered another way he was to be asked another ques- tion, In this way it wvas believed wham Mr. Gould took his seat that the begin- ning of a long struggle was at hand. That was on May 17, 1887. Mr. Gould wore a plain pepper and salt suit and a shabby silk hat. The examiners; all ready to level their batteries of ques- tions at him, were dumfounded when the first questions were asked and Mr. Gould blandly stated his 'willingness and desire to affordrmation all the info in his power.
