Witness Sharp confronts senate committee on New York railway graft
A senate committee in New York heard John Sharp, a longtime furniture dealer, describe his chaotic bookkeeping and lack of records as he faced questions about bribery and a surface railroad franchise through Broadway. Ex-senator Conkling pressed for clearer proof while Sharp dodged details, claiming he kept no full accounts and relied on slips of paper for tallies. The testimony followed other far flung notes on Honduras ventures and labor wage shifts in various cities.
