ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 5.-Tom Doris, son oil
Gen. Doris, testified to-day before the Sem
atorial Bribery Committee at Jefferson
City. He said his father loaned Edens
about 81, 500, but there was nothing to IN
dicate for what il was loaned. 1t was
mere bagatelle. Edens was one OF the
Generals acquaintances, in want OF the
luxuries of life, and it was not as
certained how much money he could
get away with. Wilson got about the
same amount as Edens, but had given no
obligation for it. Wilson was supposed to
have some influence, and Gen. Doris was
liberal. Witness distributed small
amounts among friends, ranging from SZU
to $50, and he was only surprised they DID
not ask for more. He brought about mr.
teen thousand dollars to Jefferson City.
The money was borrowed from his
mother. who, in turn, borrowed it
from his father. It was got for lobbying
purposes, and to banquet the members II
lIis father was elected; also to supply the
wants of members should they need assist
ance. His plan was to mix around among
the members and make himself agreeable.
As to whether be accomplished the latter,
Mr.. Walker and MIR. Bell, Of this commit
tee could tell, as be associated and boarded
with them. He personally spent about
three hundred dollars. The remainder OF
the $4,000 was sent back to his mother in
st. Louis.
