WAsHrNGToN, April ls.-Aiter some ques-
tions. which failed to elicit other than eva
sons, Deuster decided not to pat any more
questions to the witness, and stated TO the
chairman his reasons, substantially as fol-
lows: "For several weeks, during which
witness has been before us he has eyaded
every question calculated TO throw any
lirht upon the subject of this investigation.
He has refused 10 furnish any documentary
evidence which might disclose the true
purpose and character Of the Peruvian
company, he has refused 10 inform rs
who are stockholders, who are directors.
or what was the amount Of capital,
IL any, invested in the Peruvian company.
In my opinion no individual whose inter.
ests are sucn that he feels warranted in
seeking 70 influence the diplomatic inter-
ference Of the government has a right to
wrap himself and his affairs in such pro
found secrecy. In my opinion no wrong
has been done except By the president 81
Peruvian company in attempting 10 involve
this government in It's diplomatic relations
and in approaching q high Official
and q minister Of the United states
with an attempt 20 bribe them. ] there
tore move that we dismiss the witness from
further examination"
Chairman Williams stated that al these
questions would be carefully considered
and passed uDon by the committee.

respite has been granted to DR.. Lamson
till the 2Sth of April. Sir William Har-
court further says: You will at the same
time see that the prisoner is informed of
this extension of his respite. Clearly ex-
plain to him that no further respite Will be
granted, and that the evidence which has
thus far been submitted to secretary OF

reference with the sentence Of the law.

ted Stales court this morning, the jury
charged with the election case Of Bates and
others, from Richmond county, appeared
before the verdict was pronounced. Two
of the jurymen, j. W. Fountain and i. f.
Stroll, both white, announced that they
had signed the verdict on Saturday under
a misapprehension and under fear of bodily
pain and that it was not the verdict that
they had intended to render. Judge Bond
held that their avowal came too late, as they
had signed the verdict and the jury had
been discharged.
The defendants excepted and gave notice
of motion for arrest OF judgment and Tor
u new trial, which the court decided TO hear
later in the term. The ve.dict, as an.
nounced is guilty as to the first count, ana
not guilty as to all the others, with Il
recommendation to the mercy Of the court.
Judge Bond, of the United States circuit
court, then announced the decision of the
court, overruIed the motion made by de-
tendant on Saturday to quash the array OF
the grand Jury on the ground that talesmen
had been Illegally drawn. District Judge
Bryan filed dissenting opinion. The
grand jury was then sworn.
