Reading edition
Q.—“Did you ever receive any money from either Fisk or Gould to be used in bribing the Legislature?”
A.—“I did, sir! They were of frequent occurrence. Not only did I receive money, but I find by an examination of the papers that everybody else who received money from the Erie Railroad charged it to me.” Tweed: Document No. 8, p. 149.
