The transcript notes Cornog offered a witness up to £690 to testify against Kellogg while demanding 3000 in hand first. The witness questioned Cornog’s Republican leanings. A. J. Dumont reports revenue figures for senators and representatives at the Joint Assembly who voted for Kellogg, with Thomas and Soveignes also present and voting. The witness claimed to represent Kellogg and had been a late New Orleans collector, and other witnesses were discharged except Richard J. Brooks.
