DAILY SUPPLYING FUNDS
AT the afternoon session of the commit
tee Mr.. Hill continued his testimony con-
corning the dealings Of himself, Wright
Marshall and Cowen with CONGRESSMAN
Campbell and Mr.. whiteside. He said
they had paid them various sums of money
at different times. Hill said he had told
Campbell at that time that Governs afi-
davit was false. Among others who had
given him money, the witness said, was
Mr.. Tuohy, of Butte. That gentleman had
given him $3.50 and had also given money
to others of his combination. Hill said
that from his conversation with Campbell
and Whitesides he was satisfied Marcus
Daily was putting up the money for the
prosecution. Whiteside had said: 1--WE
have no specific amount, but Marcus Daily
never limits u.s." Hill said that Rector,
one of the witnesses for the prosecution,
had told him that he was to have $500 for
coming 70 Washington, and that Rector
not true.
When Hill retired Representative Camp
bell requested that he be sworn, saying
that IL the committee considered Lyons's,
HllIs and Wrights statements true. he
was unfit to proceed as counsel in the case.
He thought he should have an opportunity
to explain. The committee allowed him to
explain as counsel, but did not require him
to be sworn. Mr.. Campbell first took UP
the statement of Thomas e. Lyons, and
said the latter's statement that he Camp
belD had offered him money to commit
perjury was absolutely untrue. He ad-
mitted that he had talked with Lyons, and
that he had given him $500 to pay the ex-
penses of the investigation that Lyons was
TO make. With reference to Hills affi-
davit, he denied having dictated il, saying
that Hill had spent entire day with
his (Campbell's) typewriter in back room
debating the statement, and that he
(CampbelD had not been in the room half
an hour during the day. He admitted pay
ing drafts for $500 made upon himself by
his private secretary to pay for affidavits
by Wright and Marshall. but said at the
same time he had told him that the testi-
mony of the men could not be used.
Mr.. Campbell said he had employed Hill
10 get at the truth of a rumor that an
effort was being made to have Mr.. White
side imprisoned; that he had especially
desired to have a letter intercepted, and
that Hill had opened it. 1t was not true
that he had paid Hill any money to do
anything that was crooked. nor that Hill
had told that his affidavit was untrue.
Other witnesses of the day were Barney
Shanahan, of Butte, and John Burns, of
Helena, who were put on by the defense
to contradict the statement of State Rep
IeSentat1ye NOrmoyle to the effect that
they had approached him with the sug-
gestion that he could get $4,000 for vote
for Mr.. Clark for the Senate. The two
witnesses agreed that Normoyle had made
advances to them, indicating that he would
ike to get some money for his vote.
