KELLOGG.

New YORK. Nov. 1.-THE Senate Com
mlttee investigating the Kellogg Spofford
case met this morning. Henry Howser,
night watchman at Governor Kellosg's s
residence in 1876, took the stand, and testi-
fled regarding the visits of the Returning
Board officials to Kellogg. Witness ap-
peared somewhat nervous He heard a
great deal of talk, but the only conyersa~
tion to which he could swear positively
was, that he heard Kellogg say the House
of representatives. of the State Legis-
lature had gone Democratic. Blanchard
and Jewett visited Kellogg frequently
and Blanchard told the witness they were
working on election returns, The parties
usually came 10 the back way. The cross
examination showed that the Governor and
all who came in carriages came in the
same way, the Governor Office being most
accessible by this entrance. Witness ad-
mitted that he had tried to get place in
the Custom House, and friend of his had
written letter to Senator Kellogg to
which the Witnesses name was signed,
threatening to gO before the committee
and testify unless witness got place.
Blanchard was at this time clerk in Kel-
logg's Office
Louis Z. Garrick testified that few
months ago P. g. Desland, Secretary of
State IN 1876, told him that the Legisla
ture that elected Kellogg to the Senate
had no quorum. If he Desland) was not
poor man he would make clean breast
and tell all he knew Witness advised
Desland to do SO. Witness wrote to
Senator Gordon about Desand's disaffec-
tion to the Republicans, repeating in the
letter what Desland had said Desland
seemed sore because he could get nothing
to do. All he had was clerkship in the
postottice. which only paid about $50 per
month. Senator kellogg objected to the
admission of the testimony, on the ground
that the United States Senate had decided
that the Packard Legislature was the only
legal legislature of Louisiana. and the
question could not now be reopened
Nessrs. Hill and Vance, majority Of the
com mittee, decided the testimony admis-
sible, Both the above witnesses were
called by Spoford

occurred just in the neighborhood of
the Page dwelling.
THE MURDER OF JOHN BRIsCo.
On a November evening in 1876 Mr..
John Brisco, Clerk OF the C~laybOrne
County Court, went down to the
swamp just mentioned to hunt ducks.
A few hours. afterward he was found
dead in the road with his head nearly
blown off by a charge of buckshot.
A negro afterward appeared and volun
tarily testified that he had seen Page
shoot Mr.. Brisco. Page had already
threatened to shoot Mr.. Brisco's brother
Their District Attorney of the State.
Every effort was made to capture the
murderer, but without avail. 1t was
generally credited that he had left the
county. In November, 1878, infOrma-
ton was received that Harrison Page,
had returned, and his father. Jim
Page, sent word TO DR.. Bunch, the
Sheriff of the county, that Harrison
would surrender if he would come
with only one or two deputies.

accepted this mad proposal and went
with two young men of PORE Gibson as
his deputies, and without arms. The
house of the Pages was situated on IA
hi,l overlooking the swamp. Going
up to the door the Doctor was imme-
diately shot down. Harrison jumped
out, and killing one Of the young men
with o:.e shot, clutched his rifle and
fellcd the other to the ground. and
then took to the swamp. The young
man. who had been stunned by the
blow received from Harrison, afterward
recovered his consciousness and crawl
ed back to Port Gibson. where ne told
the tragic fate Of his companions. \
short while after a constable and about
thirty deputies were sent out to cap
dead or alive. They came to tie house
and demanded a surrender. Receiving
no answer they fired into the dwelling.

and Jim Page came out ana surrender

tempting TO escape, was shot by the
posse and killed. \ number of mys-
FERROUS murders were subsequently,
traced up to the Page family. 1t is
known that they numbered ut least six
