night by reporter for the World.
I was surprised to learn of the de-
cision of the supreme court which dis
barred John B. Welcome" he said Il
firmly believe from the numerous let
tiers that received from Montana that
the decision would be favorable to Mr..
Welcome, and yet I believe he will be
vindicated.
I am confident in my mind that he
is innocent of the charges. l do not
believe that Mr.. Welcome had $50 900
to use in the manner alleged. 1 am sure
of one thing, that not dollar of this
fund was furnished by me.
Whatever may be the facts In this
case, it has no bearing as far as my
interests are concerned, as they have
not nor can they produce any evil
dence against me unless they do 1t
falsely.
This will be demonstrated by the in
vestfgation of the committee on privi-
leges and election, which is non-parti
san and uninhuenced by the gang of
unprincipled men who have been pursu-
ing me politically and without provooa-
ton for the past IL years"
Mr. Welcome was seen by World
reporter at the Waldorf-Astoria last
night and said
Il deny absolutely having paid any
money to any member of the legisla-
ture or to anybody for any member of
the Legislature to vote for the elect on
of w. A. Clark for senator. The
charges arise by reason of the we'll
known enmity of the Marcus Daily peo-
pie for Senator Clark.
THE case against me in Montana was
so weak, and the only relevant testi-
mony introduced was so thoroughly i'm
peached that it was not considered
necessary to introduce any testimony in
rebuttal other than that impeachi0g
the witnesses for the prosecution and
showing the conspiracy on the part of
the Daily forces to defeat Mr.. Clark's
election.
II had intended to go to Mexico on
business. but this dec'son has upset
my plans, and / shall probably return
to Montana to be on hand to submit
my testimony to the senate inve stigat-
ing committee If it decides to take tes-
timony there"
