The Grind of the Penitentiary Investigat.
ing Committee.
Topeka. Kan, Feb. 13-The Penitentiary
Investigation Committee met yesterday
and the entire morning session was occu-
pied in the examination Of E. II. Luit-
weller, who was in the employment OF
Barnes & Loper when they had coal con-
tracts with the penitentiary. He said that
he took full charge Of the business under
the Loper contract, and Buckley and Church
were at different times associated with
Loper. Barnes had no interest with the
Loper contract, but had share Of the out
put of the mine. On the complaint Of the
witness Buckley was put out and Church
taken in, as Church had money to pay his
salary and Loper did not put up. He
was with Loper when he made his bid
and received his contract, but did not
know of any previous agreement be-
tween Loper and the directors. He
knew that Church was to pay DIR.
Krohn 500 for Krohn's influence in
getting Church in with Loper, but knew
of no other money going to krohn. Wit
ness knew personally of no agreement be-
tween Barnes, Buckley and Loper, but
found in book turned over to him, among
some other papers, letter which proved
the existence of a contract between the
above named parties. The contract was
made after the coal contract was awarded
to Loper. He knew nothing of a design
to fix" any directors until finding
the letter, which was directed to
DIR. Krohn, in BucSley's handwriting,
which provided that Barnes was to take
care of Hiatt and Kellar, and Loper was
to take care of the others. He thought
Buckley had no contract with Loper, but
objected when he was dropped. Church
then came in, and witness took charge Of
Loper's end of the business. When they
were let out by the directors and Barnes
took the contract he took rest for a
month, and then went into the employ of
Barnes.
Ex-Attorney General Bradford took the
stand and said his attention had been
called to the shortage of 5000 on Loper's
account. and he advised suit by the
county attorney, but owing to the con-
tractor being compelled to go into the
open market at different times, it was
thought unadvisable to press a suit.
After dinner Luitweiler again took the
stand aud said he had induced Church to
go in with Loper by saying such con-
tract ought to bring him in - QUO or $1,000.
James F. Legate was put on the stand,
and said he knew nothing of any frauds
in connection with the coal contracts.

for these symptUms-its weakness and disOr-

nerve tonic and tranQuiizer. we believe that
not one can be pointed out so effective as Hos

Headaches, tremOrs in quiet sleep, abnormal
