HAD CHANCE TO SELL VOTE.
Member OF Legislature Which elect
ed Clark Tells How He Was Ap-
preached with an OfFer.

Washing gton, Jan. %. The inyesti-s
cation by the committee on privileges.
and elections into the allegations Of.
bribery against Senator Clark was re-
sumed Saturday. .
T T. f. Normoile. bookkeeper, of
Butte, was. first called. He was a:
member of the last legislature. He
testified that within a week after his
election he was approached with an in
direct offer of a large sum for his vote
for Mr.. Clark. 1t was said to him that
he could get $4,000 to $4,000 for his
vote and perhaps enough to make him
snug fortune if he would merely abb
sent himself from the legislature at
the time of the voting for United
States senator. When the legislature
convened man had approached him
and asked him if he proposed TO make
''sucker" of himself and not get
anything out of the election. Finally,
he said, just before the election, he
was offered $12,,50O for his vote foy
Clark, the sum to be placed in the
hands of some disinterested person.
On cross-examination Mr.. Normoile
said he was democrat. He was en-
ployed, and had been since the legisla-
ture adjourned, with the Anaconda

company. He had voted for Conrad for
United States senator from first to last.
He said to the proposition of $12. 500 for
his vote that he would think it over.
As to the $4,000 proposition, he had
replied that 'that is very little for
man to sell himself for.'
1t The conclusion of Mr.. Normoile's
testimony Mr.. Carson, of Friday's wit
nesTcs,> was recalled for cross-exarn-
inaticn by Mr.: Faulkner.
At the conclusion Of the examination
Gf Mr.. Carson, counsel for the contest
ants announced that they had 10 other
testimony to offer until certain let-
2cl's sent for by the defense had ar
rived. Mr.. Faulkner said tie letters,
@-ThouGh on the way from Butte, had
not arrived.
In response to an inquiry from Chair
man Chandler as to whether he was
prepared to proceed with the defense.
lit. Faulkner replied that he was not
and could scarcely in fairness be ex-
F2cted TO put on his witnesses until
