Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Review of the Report of the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives: Recommending the Passage of Bill, for the Relief of William McGarrahan, Reported May 8, 1868
Limantour case; he, too, was declared by the district judge to have been guilty of perjury. (see report of this case, 1 Hoff man, 890 - 6, 7, 8, 420, 426, We refer to this exposition of the characters of these two individuals, because much stress is laid by the committee on the fact that the board found that Gomez had given satisfactory proof of the existence and loss of the grant. Now, this finding, resting upon the statement of Gomez and the testimony of Abrego, imports nothing, in view of the subsequent light thrown upon the characters of these two individuals. At most, the board only expressed the opinion that Gomez had received and lost a grant. But Gomez had something else to do besides showmg that he had received a Mexican grant; it was necessary to show where it was located, and what were its precise boundaries. This the willing Abrego could hardly be expected to recollect, and to supply this difficulty Gomez trumped up a most improbable story, and one that has no other basis for its support but his own blasted reputation for veracity.
