MR.. BUTTONS DENIAL.

Il have seen," said Mr.. Burton,
nothing regarding the matter except
what appears in the mornings dis
patches. Mr.. Fuller never paid me
one single cent directly or indirectly to
influence legislation, nor did any one
ever at any time pay me a single cent
for any such purpose.
Mr.. Fuller and Mr.. Hynes, presi-
dent and secretary of the company, on
April Is, 1888, contracted with me to
act as their attorney in cases then
pending in the district court of Shaw
nee county. They executed to me their
individual notes for attorneys fees at
that time, one month after the leg.
islature had adjourned.
Before this time the company had,
together with the Kansas Home Co.,
retained myself and Mr.. Hackney as
attorneys in cases brought in said court,
but after the cases were brought Mr..
Hackney became dissatisfied regarding
the fees and withdrew from the cases.
L also withdrew and Secretary Fuller's
statement that-he paid me- $50 or any
other snm at this time during the ses-
sion of the legislature is
A DELIBERATE FALsEHOoD.
Mr.. Fuller and Mr.. Hynes employed
me as stated. The notes were given
me for my attorneys fees and six weeks
after the legislature had adjourned"
The notes were shown and were all
dated April Is, 1889, and signed by
MesSrs. Hynes and Fuller jointly.
The charge against Mr.. Burton is a
grave one and Mr.. Burton's friends,
which number thousands, will be slow
to believe it when supported by no
other evidence than that given by Mr..
Fuller. The fact that the money was
paid Mr.. Burton long after he could
possibly have had any influence on leg,
islstion even had he been 50 disposed
effectually does away with the charge
and makes the secretary's weakened
actions despieable for their poltvoonery.
Mr.. Burton left at noon for Wash
ington. d. c., and New York City.

give any further attention to the mat
