WILLIAM WILSON ON THE HACK
REFUSES TO TELL WHO OFFERED
HIM HONEY.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 5-The
bribery investigation committee re-
sumed work to-day. The committee
expects to complete the hearing of wit
nesses on Friday and file its report
next Monday.
William Wilson of Westmoreland
who testified at the previous meeting
of the committee that he was twice Of
fered $500 to change his vote from
Colonel Huff to Senator Quay-half
cash and the balance after he had
Woodland then declined to give the
name of the person who made the al
legged offer, was the first witness called
to-day. Mr.. Young moved that the wit
ness be excused until 2 o'clock in order
that he might consult with his attor-
ney. Without putting the motion
Chairman Fow said to Wilson:
Do you know John R. Byrne, who
ran for the State Senate in the Fayette
Green District last fall and was de-
feated?"
Il do"
was it he who made this offer to
you?"
Il decline to answer"
Chairman Fow advised Wilson that
he would place him in the custody of
the ergeant-at-arms for contempt I'M
less he answered the II. f6QQ-
ing such action, however, the motion to
extend Mr.. Wilson's time until after
noon was adopted.
Charles P. Harder, assistant post
master at Danville, Pa, was called at
the evening session and denied that he
told Representative Foster of Mon
tour that if he went into the Republi-
can Senatorial caucus and voted for
Quay he was authorized by Mr.. Quay
to say to Foster that he (Harder)
would be appointed postmaster. Har-
der stated that Mr.. Quay never told
him that he would be appointed if Fos-
ter went into the caucus and voted for
him. He admitted that he advised
Foster to go into the caucus because he
was elected as a Republican, and in
sisted he held out no inducement to
attend the caucus, or that he talked
with him about the postoffice when this
conversation occurred. He character
lied Fosters statement about the post
office as a pure fabrication.
Harder said he and Thomas J. Price
were applicants for the Danville post
mastership, and by agreement with ex-
Congressman Kulp of Shamokin he
withdrew and Price was appointed, and
the witness selected as his assistant.
He added that he had never had any
conversation in Harrisburg with Fos-
ter about the Danville postoffice
The committee adjourned until to-
morrow afternoon.

Murder Of PoiceDon KiIroy.

Know he was so close to the town.
otherwise he would have kept higher
up on the ridge to make certain of
avoiding detection. Tonight Deputy
Sheriff Mccullough said 1t was his
opinion that MOOre's only means of es-
cape would be to climb clear over Lone
Ridge, down through Moore's Flat and
across Allegheny into the Sierra Val
ley. As before indicated Moore would
scarcely attempt this perilous journey
through the snow.
We have him cornered UP there on
the ridge just as sure as you were
born said he "Moore's jig is about
up and l think we will bring him in
either dead or alive within the next
twenty-four hours, mostly dead. how
ever, for l don't think it will be wise
to take anv chances with the muir
derer. He is a desperate character and
can shoot accurately. 1t don't do to
take any chances with desperadoes of
that sort, so I think the boys will fill
him full of lead on sight"

everything that their master could not
eat.
While examining the ground about
the cabin George Davis, one of the
posse, made a discovery that almost
dispelled all doubt that the man who
had so lately occupied the cabin was
Moore. Outside the door Davis picked
up several cigarette stumps, peculiarly
f1attened at the mouth end. These We're
identicaly the same as some found at
MOOre's cabin on Little Deer Creek
Moore is an inveterate cigarette smoker
and his peculiar method of smoking at
tracted the attention of those who
knew him intimately at Nevada City.
Early in his youth the murderer con-
tracted the habit of placing his cigar
cite in the center of his lips, f1attening
out the end as a Chinaman does.
All attempts TO trace the murderers
footsteps any distance away from the
cabin proved futile. The trail ended
there. The posse separated and formed
a deep circle on the ridge about the
lone cabin and beat the underbrush all
day without getting further trace of the
fugitive.
Deputy Mccullough said tonight he
considers it impossible for Moore to
elude pursuit another day. In the
morning the searching party will be
reinforced by large posse from
Nevada City, headed by Sheriff Get
chell. 1t will surround that portion of
the ridge between the French reservoir
and the Oak Tree ranch and thorough
~ search the country between the two
points.
There is good reason to suppose
Moore has occupied the cabin since the
first day of his flight 1t is an ideal
hiding place, situated high on the slope
of Lone Ridge, giving its occupant a
full view Of the neighboring country.
MOore's lonely mountain retreat is the
nearest thing to Evans and Sontag's
stone corral that one could imagine.
Citizens from all of the neighboring
towns are preparing to join the pur-
suing posses in the morning. If the
manhunters pick up the trail again in
the morning they hope to put an end
TO his flight before shutdown 1t is evil
dent Moore attempted to take the route
outlined in The Call yesterday, but was
forced to journey westward away from
the snow, which at present is fully fiji
teen feet deep on the Sierras. Much
speculation is being INDUCED in here
tonight as to the route Moore took
in reaching this locality. Moore would
have to make his way through the
New York Canyon and cross the South
Yuba River at the electric power dam
or Purdom's Bridge. Both of these
crossings are bare of habitation and
Moore easily could have taken to the
road at either point without fear of
detection. If the Yuba River were not
such a raging torrent as it is at this
season of the year the fugitive might
have crossed it at any point farther
