Judge Penfield defends actions in Bailey dispute in full statement
The document quotes Judge Penfield denouncing Senator Bailey for pressuring on withholding a contract copy and for seeking to influence General Clayton. Penfield says he refused to issue instructions to reverse a Mexican judgment pending appeal, and defends forwarding essential parts of Clayton's note. He accuses Bailey of seeking to remove Clayton and of intent to attack the secretary of state, calling Bailey's behavior a spasmodic display of asininity.
