| Washington, Jan. 22.-The investi-
cation by the committee on privileges
and elections into the allegations of
bribery against Senator Clark was re-

member of the last legislature. He
testified that within a week after his
election he was approached with an in
direct offer of 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 alb
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
a sucker" of himself and not get
anything out of the election. Finally.
he said, just before the election. he
was offered $1a,5oo for his vote for
Clark, the sum to be placed in the
hands of some disinterested person.
On cross-eNamination 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 chat is very little for
man to sell himself for.''

testimony Mr. Carson, of FRIDAYS wit
nesses, was recalled for cross-exam-
nation by Mr.. Faulkner.

on the way from Butte. had
not arrived.
