If he claims any law of the United States has been violated. he should submit the facts to our Department of Justice. If lie desires legislative action. he should be willing to prove the charges he makes. I will hold these originals for the pleasure of the Committee on Immigration. and I will ask the Committee on Immigration to take these originals and compare them with the photostatic copies which they have. and I ama sure they will be convinced that some one has sold the Police Department of New York City a gold brick. But Congress ought to know it because of the mysterious manner in which this hearing was held. First. the announcement of the discovery of the documents. then giving the documents to the press. and then the executive session between the police commissioner and the committee. and the suspicion aroused that some very dangerous documents had been seized.
