Of the members in the mess:
"Mr. Speaker; Your special
committee appointed to investigate
charges of bribary in the matter of
the senatorial election have had
the same under consideration and
submit the following report Of their
finding together with the affidavit
of H. S. JONES and the evidence
taken before it, which is herewith
submitted:
First. The said III. S. JONES did
make the said affidavit, and that
he did on several occasions try to
extort money corruptly from diff
trent persons as certified to before
the committee. The testimony of
the said Hugh S. JONES is contrad-
ictory in many points, and that we
recommend that he be expelled
from the body of this house.
Second. That we further state
! that the conduct Of w. Y. Perkins,
in his efforts to unduly influence
H. S. JONES by bride or otherwise,
is highly culpable; and while the
evidence is not strong in his case
as thatsof said JONES we believe be
should be expelled from this floor,
but respectfully refer the matter
of the said Perkins to the consid-
Grafton Of the house.
Third. That the evidence be.

that money has been freely offered

FOR LIFE.
Frank Wolcott, of Huntington, Guilty
of First Degree Murder.

Special to the Register.
Huntington, w. Va, December s.
The jury to-day found Frank WolcCtt
guilty of first degree murder, but rec
commended the mercy of the court,
which means life sentence in the
peDitentiary. The trial has been in
progress ten days. Wolcott, on the
evening of October IA, shot Will
Webb to his death as the latter was
leaving a restaurant in this city.
Not a word was passed by either party
at the time the shooting occurred,
and Wolcott's attorneys entered a plea
of insanity.
Webb was a son of Rev. J. D. Webb,
who was pastor of the M. E. Church
at Wheeling for many years. Wolcott
is but twenty years of age, and is a
son Of B. A. Wolcott, a prominent cit
izen. The trial was hard fought,
more than siXey witnesses being ex-
amined, thirty-four of whom were
physicians.
