All those, however, whose names had been
mentioned by witnesses in connection with
the sugar legislation, were questioned at
length. They were the members of the
finance committee, and Senators Smith, of
New Jersey; Murphy, of New York, and a
few others. The categorical questions ask
ed by the committee of every senator who
appeared before it, were as follows:
“Have you given any information, direct
ly or indirectly, to any one interested in
sugar stocks, so called, or in the stock of
the American Sugar Refining Company, that
w‘as intended or calculated to affect its
value?
“Have you bought or sold, directly or in

of congress, any so-called sugar stock or

can Sugar Refining Company?
“Have you been concerned with any one

or otherwise, in any operation whether by

“Has any one bought or sold for your ac

stocks, or speculated in any of such Stocks
on your account, or given you to under

of any operation in such stocks, or place
any money to your credit as the proceeds
of the purchase or sale of such stocks, or
