EXPLANATION OF
SENATOR BAILEY
i.
BORROWED MONEY FROM H. C.
PIERCE AS A PURELY PER.
SONAL TRANSACTION,
SAYS HE PAID IT ALL RACK
Repeats That If Waters-Pierce Oil
Company Vouchers Showing Pay-
ments of Money to Him Exist
They Are Forgeries—Ap-
peals to Democrats.
Austin, Tex., Dec. 7.—United States
Senator Bailey last nighti gave to the
press his reply to the recent open let-
ter of Attorney General Davidson re-
garding the senator's alleged connec-
tion with the Waters-Pierce Oil Com-
pany. After denying that the Waters-
Pierce Company re-entered Texas un-
der his "guidance and direction," as
charged by the attorney general,
Senator Bailey reviews his relations
with Mr. Pierce prior to the com-
pany's readmission to Texas, and
then proceeds:
1 will now answer your questions.
Your first question is: "April 25,
1900, iipu received from H. C. Pierce
$:',300. This sum was subsequently
returned to H. C. Pierce by the Wa-
ters-Pierce Oil Company and charged
as "Account of Texas cas^s.' Was
the sum given to you as a lban or as
a fee? If a loan, has it ever been
paid? If a fee, for what service?"
When H. C. Pierce asked me to in-
tercede with the attorney general in
ness of H. C. Pierce in Texas, be-
cause, so far as I know, he has never
had any personal business in this
state. The amount Involved and the
date given must satisfy all reason-
able men that it did not relute to the
relntroductlon of the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company into the state, which oc-
curred several months before the
time you specify.
Your fourth question is: "On
March 28, 1901, or about that time,
you wrote a letter to H. C. Pierce In
response to which you received New
York exchange for $1,750. This sum
was charged up on the hooks of the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company as on 'ac-
count of Texas legal expenses.' Did
you in this letter request a loan, or
did you demand a fee? If a loan,
has it been paid? If a fee, for what
puriKise?"
I do not' remember, of course, the
date of ihe letter which you ask if
I wrote, but I do know that I wrote
H. C. Pierce a letter requesting him
to send me $1,750, and I also remem-
ber that I needed the money at once,
and in order to save delay that might
arise from his neglecting to send me
his own check or overlooking the in-
dorsement of exchange, I told him to
send me New York exchange, at
once, and to make It payable to my
order, so as to save the necessity of
his indorsing it. I also know, how-
ever that there is not a syllable in
that letter which Indicates in the re-
motest degree that the S1.750 had any
relation to the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company, or its business. 1 know,
furthermore, that the $1,750 which I
requested then was a part of a loan
which I had obtained from H. C.
Pierce, something like three weeks
before that, and the amount of which
I did not draw from him In full at
the t|ime. The letter requesting the
*1,750 is not the only letter that I
wrote Mr. Pierce touching the dispo-
sition of that loan. Anil if you will
compare the dates of the letter and
the note, both of which I understand
were stolen from the files of hia pa-
pers and rtre now in your possession,
you wlill find that the loan, as stated
above,! wan
three weeks
made something
before the letter
like
was

to do so, he offered to pay me for I was part of the loan.
the service and \I declined to receive
any pay, upon the ground as I have
stated above, that the only service
which I Intended to render was a
friendly and not a legal one, and was
not, therefore, such a service as a
lawyer, with my view of his profes-
sion, would accept compensation for
performing. He asked if I were not
a lawyer and I told him that I was,
but that I was one of the kind who
practiced law and not influence. 1
old him, however, that I was then on
my way to Kentucky for the purpose
of selling some horses to raise a sum
of money that I needed, but that, In
view of a political situation which
would bring me back to Texas and
which I had already explained to him
when I told him that I would speak
to the attorney general while hero -1
might not have time to dispose of
J ] the horses while In Kentucky and
<lj> that if he would be willing to tako
T my obligation and allow me to pay
Z \ it with Interest I would consider

KINGSTON
HAS IT
!&*, •'* 11
the
loan of $.'!,300 a favor.
He loaned mo the money, and 1 re-
paid every dollar of It to him as soon
as 1 sold the horses, which I did soon
after Congress adjourned that sum-
mer. I borrowed the money purely
as a personal transaction between
Pierce and me, as the voucher,
which I understand was stolen from
his papers and Is now in your pos-
session, will show. That vouchor
not only shows that the transaction
was between Pierce and me, but It
expresses in the face of it that the
money was received by me as a "de-
mand loan." Yon are presuming very
far upon the Intelligence of Texas
Democrats when you ask , them to
suspect that a lawyer would give a
demand obligation for money, if he
were collecting it. as a fee. An idiot
knows- better than to believe that a
man gives an evidence of indebted-
ness when he Is collecting a debt.
Your second question js:
"On Juno 1G, 1900, a charge whs
made In the books of the Waters-
j Pierce Oil Company of $1,500, as paid
j to Henry & Stribbllng 'ory account of
expenses of anti-trust civil cases.*
j Was not this sum paid by sight draft.
, by yon? You have stated that you
j did not draw on the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company for such sum. Did you
| draw such a draft on H. C. Pierce or
;J. D. Johnson?"
I have never given a draft to Hen-
| ry & Stribbllng for any amount on
j the Watera-Plerce Oil Company, or
! on H. C. Pierce, or on J. D. Johnson;
I nor hnve I ever given a draft to Hen-
I ry ft Stribbllng. or to either of them,
or anybody, for any amount, and if
j you have In your possession such a
I draft, or If there be any such paper
. In existence, it Is a downright and
flagrant forgery. Your third ques-
tion Is:
"You received $200 on Nov. 'I?.,
1900, which was charged up mi the
books of the Waters-Pierce Oil Com-
pany as on "account of Texas cases."
Did you represent the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company or H. C. Pierce In Tex-
as In any capacity other than the
anti-trust, case? Was the sum paid
to you bv H. C. Pierce or the Wafers
Pierce Oil Corp pan y?"
I do not recall thl" transaction, but
I know that I did not receive thfc
money from the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company, becauao I never received
any money from It. I assume that, it
was to cover my exoenses in con-
nection with seme personal business
of H. C Plerco to which I attended.
I know tt did not relate to any hual
t:. '
Your: fifth question Is:
"On March 6, 1901, you executed
your note for $8,000 duo in four
months, to H. C. Pierce. You re-
ceived Pierce's check for the amount.
He Immediately had the amount re-
paid him by the Waters-Pierce Oil
Company. Has thia note ever been
paid? lias payment ever boen de-
manded?"
My reply to that question is, that
just before the adjournment of Con-
gress in the spring of 1901 I arranged
with H. C. Pierce to borrow $8,000,
which 1 expected to need for several
different and small transactions dur-
ing that summer. I executed my note
to him for the full amount, which I
obtained as I needed it from time to
time, just as 1 obtained the- $1,750'
which I have explained in answer to
your third question. Afterwards, and
before that $8,000 note was paid I ne-
gotiated another transaction which
required an additional sum of money,
and which I arranged to borrow from
a St. Louis bank with the indorse-
ment of 11. C. Pierce. That larger
note was executed to H. C. Pierce,
indorsed by Tiim and negotiated to
the bank, to which 1 paid it In full.
The $8,000 note about which you in-
quire was included in this larger note
and was paid as follows;
The larger note when negotiated to
the bank was passed by the bank to
the credit of H. C. Pierce and Mr.
Pierce gave me his check for the
difference between the $8,000 and the
new loan: and thus to an absolute
and moral certainty, if that $8,000
note appears to have been paid by the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company, the pro-
ceeds of, It were stolen by some man
connected with that company. This
seems to me very probable what hap-
pened, because when the $8,000 note
was paid by its inclusion In the new
loan, Mr. Pierce war not able to find
and deliver it to me, but said he
would find it and send to me. After
waiting thirty, or perhaps sixty, days
without receiving that paid note, I
wrote Mr Pierce, reminding him that
he had neglected to send It, and he
replied, saying that he had not been
able to find it, but that he knew it
was among his papers, and that as
soon as he had time to look through
them, he would
me. arid he state!
his letter as his receipt that the note
had been duly paid. I have that let-
ter among my papers, and It Ib rea-
sonably certain that a copy of it Is
in the copy book or files of letters
kept by H. C. Pierce.
In reply to your questions seriatim
I have purposely omitted any com-
ment on your statement as to what
appears In the books of the Waters-
Pierce Oil Company, because what I
will say about each applies with
equnl force to all of them and, there-
fore, I have preferred to answer
that suggestion in n separate para-
graph.
I have never had access to the
hooks of the Waters-Pierce Oil Com-
pany and therefore do not know what
they contain, but I do know that if
they import that the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company has paid , any money to
me directly or indlractly, every such
entry Is utterlv and wholly false; and
my opinion is that If such entries ap-
pear In those books, the man who
made them, or who had them made,
simply robbed the Waters-PWree Oil
Company. Such a proceodlngSm the
part of those In charge of the books
get It apd send It to
