THE INTERNAL VILLAINS.
They Have Destroyed The Returns.
Which Shows Their Damnable Guilt,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The committee
on the powers and duties of the house in
counting the electoral vote had Louis
Kinner, OF the Louisiana returning board.
before them to day and he said so far as
he knew the election returns were des-
troyed.
Mr.. Field asked number of questions
concerning the returns of the parish of
Vernon, expecting he said, to prove that
the district judge and district attorney in
that district were neighbors OF Gov. Wells
and that ;Jov. Wells procured alterations
to be made in the returns 10 order thus to
elect his friends and in this the returns of
the presidential canvass were also altered.
Mr.. Field further remarked that this was
a part of the conspiracy to alter and fab
ricate returns.
The witness, after examining the re-
turns. said 1t looked as if the figures had
been altered; he did not recoIlect any dis
cussion in the board in relation to the re-
turns OF Vernon.
The witness was asked whether the re-
turning board certified to the election of
Hunter as Judge and Andrews as district
attorney He answered that he did nat
know who were elected, and on being
asked whether Anderson did not write a
letter declining the Office on the ground Of
the fraudulent character of the returns,
the witness replied that he had merely
heard of such letter,
Mr.. Field showed the witness tkinner)
a certified copy of the return al the parish
Of Vernon, in which l78 votes had been
given for Hayes, while in the original re
turns two votes only were given to Hayes.
The witness having been asked to ex-
plain the difference, said if any returns
had been thrown out he was not aware OF
it; it did not take place while lie was on
| the board.
Mr.. Field directed witness to look with
magnifying glass furnished by Mr.
Hewitt (who at this point entered the
rooml at the original papers and fed
whether there had been any erasures OF
alterations The witness after scrutinzine
the figures, said it looked as if something
had been done, as if figures had been made
over erasureS,
The witness being wanted at the bar OF
the house the c0muittee took q recess.
