The evidence In the KeIlogg-Spofford inter-
mnable contest yesterday before the Senate
committee was diversified by some decidedly
lively passages. n. II. Twitchell, United
States Consul ut Kingston, Canada, formerly
State Senator IN Louisiana, was called to dis
prove certain charges OF bribery, and did SO
very etfectually On his cross-examinatiou
the fun began. NJ. c. Walker, of New Orleans,
Spofiord's counsel, started IN 10 prove what lie
called the dark record" Of the witness life,
and his hrst few questions and the answ ers ran
thus:
O. Now, sir will you toll me who was tho
first tax collector of Red River Parish, La. g?
A. My brother, Homer Ii. Twitchell, who WAS
murdered in 1874 after being disarmed
Q. Who WIS tho noxtp A. King, my
brother.iu.law, who was murdered in 1876.
q, Who was tho nexR A. Wooster, Demo.
crRt, who made tho noise on the Courthouse
door 80 that people should not hear my shoot
ing,
Q. Your shooting? What do you mean by
that2 A. When they tried to kill me- and
unfortunately, as they think, only succeeded
in shooting Ofr both my arms and Gripping me
in the leg,
@. When was this2 A. In 1875, when the
House was Dem ocratc and the Senate a tie,
and they wanted Democratic majority.
Mr.. Walker soou after concluded that he
had got enough Of the witness dark record"
for his purposes.
Another witness was w. II. Seymour,
notary public, who has figured II good deal in
this investigation and in the Andorson-Wobor
testimony before tho Potter committee He
identified two papers shown him, which dis.
closed a corrupt bargain between man named
W. X. Spearing and George Dicks, Ed. j.
Ewert and jeremiah Blackstone to furnish
Spofford with ufflavits for the sum of 81 800,
aud frankly admitted that Dicks brought him
one man to swear to an affidavit already
drawn up ia Dicks handwriting. that no was
bribcd as o member Of the legislature to vote
for Kellogg, when, as he subsequently learned,
the man brought By Dicks was not the person
he represented himself To be. Mr., Seymour
stated that he very properly refused to qualify
the witness to the affidavit unless he was al
lowed to read it, rs Dicks had got him into
trouble once before in a similar way That
was tho last Of 1t. The forged affidavit, how
ever, figures IN the testimony taken before
tho subcommittee in Now Orleans.
Tho committee adjourned on the question
as to whether these papers, identified by sey'
mour proving the corrupt contract to obtain
evidence for Spo1ord, should be admitted in
evidence,
