Colfax Denies Credit Mobilier Gifts And Stock Deals
The testimony details Colfax’s insistence that he never received stock or cash from Oakes Ames or any other party for the Credit Mobilier affair. He explains bank deposits and investments, cites a $1000 Nesbitt remittance to Indiana Republican operations, and recalls a letter from Nesbitt about confidential support. The hearing covers checks, deposits, and the timing of various payments amid bribery allegations.
