Special to the Inter Mountain.
Washington, March 2.-The case
against Clark almost collapsed yester-
day. CamEbelps confession of the en-
ployment of a corps of detectives hire d
by Days private secretary in New York
and paid for by Daily alone is a flat con-
tradiction of DAILY, who professed entire
ed the detectives as unreliable. Al issue
OF verac.ty is thus raised. Campbell
swore that Daily put up all the money
used in the prosecution.
Campbelrs letters exposed %disreputa-
BILE means of prosecution and discredted
the witness instantly with the committee.
Their demeanOr towards him changed
Immediately. Hoar and McComas were
evidently shocked and disguised with the
reform advice to the detective to worm
secrets from the grand jury members.
The reform committee looked distressed,
alarmed n guilty. Their mask of
purity n patriotism was torn of. They
are cursing Mclean tonight.
Public sentiment is rapidly changing
and Clark is receiving congratulations on
the exposure Of the conspiracy against
him. The prosecution vas fairly trapped
at the very moment when confident OF
victory.

cleared uD this afternoon. aud the in.
vestigation closed by both sides, the com
mittee reserving one witness, probably
"SWede" Murphy. Campbell testified
the total expense to date for the re-
formers, detectives and lawyers was
$4,000 and SIS, 900 for the purpose Of
newspapers in the interest Of good gov
eminent. Haughter.) A small amount

u not yet paid.
Edmunds will certainly get $25. 900. Biz
e $10,0 600, Hartman $3.50 and Campbell
nothing under contract with Washoe
company.
The last witnesses were Whitmore and
Tom Kinds. The general belief is that
the lawyers will have ten days to pre-
pare their arguments n the COMMITTEES
as much longer to write the report,
The latter will either dismiss the case
the seat or make a divided report, prob
ably the latter. Expulsion is out Of
the question. 1t is either exoneratton
or no election. Clark's prospects are
greatly improved by Campbell's testi-
mony and the strong proof Of conspiracy
against the senator. The letters Of De.
tective Mclean from Campbell may im-
prove Clark's situation or may not.
The situation is uncertain here. The
governors refusal to testify as we'll as
a score of other men dragged into the
case by the prosecution created much
suspicion against the latter.
