THE PAYNE CASE.
Republicans Claim to Have Found Evidenco
Enough to Warrant an Inquiry.

COLUMBUS, o., April 15.-The legislative
committee appointed to investigate the charges
of bribery in the H. B. Payne case. reported this
evening. The majority report, signed by three
Republicans, is lengthy, and is accompanied by
six hundred pages of evidence. The report says
case has been made as to corrupt methods,
and the testimony fully justifes that it be cert-
fed at once to the United States Senate for action
by that body in considering Paynes right to
seat Most of the witnesses testifying to use Of
money were Democrats, some being ex members
of the Legislature, who were at the time offered
various sums. Evidence Is cited to show two
banks wherein Ramey deposited $3.50 each and
also t6show large investments at the time BY
State Senator Elmer White. Representatives
Mooney, Roche and Others. The majority re-
port is somewhat sensational and has caused Q
great stir, especially the evidence of L. A. Rus
sell, who tells Of picking up a twenty.dollar- bill
on the floor of d. r. Pages room, Page being
Payne's Managers and of j. j. Hall, who, on en-
tering Huntngton's room suddenly found more
money piled up thar he saw in the bank Of
which he is director.
The minority report signed by two Demo-
cratic members, is devoted to arguments to i'm
peach the most damaging witnesses and while
admitting that there have been many newspaper
rumors, much testimony of general nature as
to corruption and bribery, there is no direct
evidence, and that the connecting link is out in
every case, 80 that they hold such evidence
should not be certified to the United States
Senate to blacken the character of any man
Pending discussion to print reports and substi-
tute minority for majority report, a recess was
taken until Monday.
