I am ready to give my testimony under Oath, that you did not advise me to bring the case of malpractice against Spofford, & objected to it. when it was first mentioned in my hearing.

Later, E. J. Arens interviewed me upon the subject & gave me to understand that you approved of the measure, being thus misled, I was overpersuaded to take the part assigned me by Arens. I was myself utterly opposed to such a step.
