Washburn did not pay him the money, and
refused to state from whom he obtained 1t.
That conversation also took place IN the
presence of II. w. Walker, student at law In
that Office. That was the end of that con-
versation.
Cross Examination-Q. At the time OF
making this confession did he exhibit any
signs of contrition or remorse; and IT so, hOW
many?
A. 1t was anything but remorse. He
seemed to haze q neao suit Of clothes, neao
hat and more money than / had eUer Ssen
him exhibit before, and to be exceedingly
pleased with his bargain.
Shack was never called by contestee to
disprove this testimony, but the fact is not
denied that Shack supported the Democrat
ic ticket and the contestant until the night
before the election; that he then made a
speech for Washburn; and that he blossom
ed out the next day, in new suit with a
pocket full of money. And for this crime
the contestee, through his counsel, has only
sheer. He seems to think it legitimate
transaction to buy up editors and public
speakers of the opposite party.

Ed. A. Stevens. editor, Minneapolis, testi-
fies Up. 1O4, Printed Testimony):
A. At that time my Office was in the same
building with that of Mr. johnson secretary
of the Republican district committed In
passing down the stairs on the day following
the election, or perhaps the next, 1 met a
gentleman, believe it was Mr.. w. P. Rob-
erts, who said, substantially, "You ought to
hear Charley Johnson swear; there is big
crowd down below after their pay, and Char
ley says Major Hale can pay his own hounds.
I have all l can do to pay those 1 hired my
self" MIR. Roberts did not say what they
were to be paid for.
BUYING ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC EDITOR.
Hon. Nathan Richardson, leading Repub-
lican of Little Falls, Morrison county, testi-
fies (see p. 1856, printed testimony, that the
following letter was written by him.
LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, Oct. 10, 1S78:-Friend
Fletcher: am in receipt of your favor of the
18th inst, and wish to say that l have seen
Nj. Clark, and he goes right to work setting up
the type and will give Donneily some hard
ticks. Try and get up or send Lorlng or some
one and, if there is one coming next week,
send up to me or Clark about one-half of the
sum talked of to help MIR. c., as l think he is
really short of funds, and has just got his press
and has got to get some more material, paper,
etc.
He testiies that the Fletcher to whom it is
addressed is Hon. Loren Fletcher, leading
Republican of Minneapolis, ex member of
the legislature, and an active member of Re-
publican executive committees, and an init
mate friend of the sitting member. That
the Clark referred to was A. J. Clark, editor
of Democratic paper published at Little
Falls; that Clark supported Washburn after
the date of that letter, and "gave Donnelly
some hard licks;' that the Loring referred
to, through whom the half of the purchase
money was to be sent, was Fletcher's part
ner, leading Minneapolis Republican.
Richardson, very reluctant witness, is I'M
able to say what was the one-half of the sum
which was to be paid Clark; ''could not
swear that it was not 1925; may have been
about that sum-" He admits that he had
some conversation with Clark about sup
porting Washburn; might have had some
conversation with him as to the amount to
be paid; "don't remember that he made a
bargain to do SO for any particular sum-"
@. Did Leon Houde pay over to A. P.
Clark, in your presence, the money paid
him CLARK for supporting Washburn; and
if 30, what did Clark do with it?
A. have no recollection of seeing Leon
Houde pay Clark any money for any pur-
pose. Providing Clark got any, I judge he
gave it to the poor. mean, being acquainted
with his character, as I am, and he being a
generous person, and the money being given
to him as free donation, he no doubt be-
slowed it on somebody more needy than him
self; if after it was traced to a native Amer
lean, it probably went into whisky shop.
@. What do you mean by native Ameri-
can?
A. did not attach very significant
meaning to it-referring to the Chippewa
Indians.
Clark, it seems, in drunken bout, gambled
