That afternoon Capt. Kettle signed or

the help of two mates kicked the ma

a visit and final instructions from Gedgc

was quite prepared to risk capture in
Cuban waters, where the glamor of dis

over whatever occurred. But to be
caught in the English channel as a vul-

as probably affecting the seat of Sen
ator Heitfeld, hut the evidence pro-
duced was sufficient to settle the
minds Of the public in the conviction
that the election was entirely brought
about by the use of money in pur.
chasing votes. The knowledge that
other members would be singed in
the fire may have had much to do
with the outcome. 1t has been pub
lished in the papers that Heitfeld, in
Washington, expressed great sur
prise at the bribery charges, and
claimed he had no intimation of them
until he read the published dispatches
