Startling Kerr Testimony on Bribe for Army Appointment
Washington dispatch details cross examination in Kerr investigation. Harney corroborates Green’s payment of 450 dollars for a second lieutenant appointment, Kerr denying knowing Harney, while Green says he paid, and Kerr’s defense hinges on credibility disputes between Green and Harney. Reports note health issues and public skepticism toward Kerr.

Secretly Taken Testimony and Rival Witnesses Collide
The two witnesses differ in friendship but agree that Kerr’s interview produced no money consideration for the recommendation. Greene’s testimony was given in secret while Harney testified without knowledge at the time. The coincidence in their accounts gains legal weight and shapes the case’s interpretation.
