Capital matter in the bill fixed before sent to Washington
Testimony argues Edgerton did not claim fix. Preston went to Washington at the speaker’s urging but later denied involvement. Mentzer and Preston traveled with aims not tied to Wheelock’s land office appointment. Edgerton’s assurances and timing are contested amid broader political maneuvering and a $600 appropriation linked to neither Wheelock nor the inauguration.
