More Startling Sens atiens May
Follow This Weeks.

most absorbing interest, say, and in the
opinion OF those connected with the in
vestigation itself they are not far out OF
the way.
Although the Committee has now sus-
pended its work for time, the activity
OF Mr.. Con- and his assistants Is unre-
hitting. and 1t was learned this morn
Ing that they are not only following up
some of the important threads of evil
dence which have been spun by the
witnesses in the last three days ses-
sions, but that they are preparing even
greater sensations for the future.

In fact, Heyman's testimony has
opened up so many avenues for investi-

them up thoroughly.
One OF the most aggravated instances
