[page 959] Ques. You dont mean to say that his testimony doesn't promote it Ans. No, I dont mean to say that Ques. You mean to say he has not promoted it until the investigation actually began? Ans. Yes, until he came here and bore his testimony, and then I think he did, because he made a direct attack upon it. Ques. Then I suppose you didn't mean that Dr. Neal was anxious to come here and give his testimony? Ans. I dont know as I used the proper word to say "anxious." I judged that he wanted to come here before the Committee and make his statement. Ques. He was anxious to do that? Ans. Well, I cannot say how deep the emotions were; but I think he wished to, because I judge he made that application to the Chairman of the Committee; and that was without my knowledge; I knew nothing about that until Capt. Pettangall stated the fact.
