BRIBERY SOUGHT 10 MAKE DIa SENATOR
mt the sIush Money Ken Into Che
wrong Hands and the Courts
Are Now After IL.

Cincinnati. January 2a.-Judge Dempsey
had before him again yesterday the motion
10 compel Colonel T. S. Campbell to pay
into court the money which 1t Is alleged
was given to him to pay last January to
Legislator Otis by II. II. Boyce, who was
supposed to be acting for Senator Hanna
whom tho latter was candidate for United
States senator.
A suit was filed here aud an attempt
made to sarnlshec the money alleged 10 DC
in the possession Of Campbell. lie ap-
reared in court and said that the money
was in New York, where 1t was tied up
by an order OF court in suits hled there
against Boyce, and that 1t could not DC
brought here without mourning the penalty
n, the court there. 1t was also asserted
nv counsel for Campbell that the money
was not the property of Boyce, but oil SEN
ator Hanna This was denied and IL was
asserted that they could not show that the
nancy ever belonged to the senator. Judge
Dempsey took the matter under advise
ment.
John C. Otis is the republican member OF
| the legislature from Cincinnati VINO
claimed a year ago to have been offered
$500 for his vote for senator. Campbeii
is his attorney, and it was claimed that H.
II. Boyce paid the money to Campbell
| There are some who deny the whole story
claiming that the money was never turned
over to any one or offered to Otis. and the
suit is brought both to test the claim that
| was thought to have been made for effect
on the senatorial contest, and also tor
the benefit of Boyce's creditors. The mat
Ter was investigated by the legislature a
year ago by committee, of which Ner-
non H. Burke OF Cleveland was the chair
man.
