Note 1143 — Chapter VIII
Reading edition
"Mr. Swartwout ... discovered the utmost frankness and candor in his evidence.... The very frank and candid manner in which he gave his testimony, I must confess, raised him very high in my estimation, and induced me to form a very different opinion of him from that which I had before entertained." (Testimony of Littleton W. Tazewell, one of the grand jury, Annals, 10th Cong. 1st Sess. 633.)
"The manner of Mr. Swartwout was certainly that of conscious innocence." (Testimony of Joseph C. Cabell, one of the grand jury, ib. 677.)
