Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Clark
of Montana was again today the star
witness before the senate committee on
privileges and elections, notwithstand-
ing Or. TTeacey was also heard.
Treacey, Justice Hunts physician, oc-
cupied the entire forenoon sitting and
a part OF the afternoon session. His
statement concerning his interviews
with Justice Hunt cOTrObOrated the
testimony of the justice in all essential
"details, except that his recollection
was that $4,000, and not $780, 600. was
the amount mentioned by him as the
price which the justice would get for
having the case thrown out of the
supreme court.
lie said Justice Hunt was an intimate
friend, and he asserted his motive to
be, in taking the course he did, to test
his ability to Withstand the cOrrUpting
influence of money. He had received
10 funds from any source to pay the
bride suggested, and had been prom
ised none for that purpose.
Mr.. Clark necessarily went over much
of the ground covered by him in his
testimony Saturday. He was cross
examined by Mr.. Campbell, and insist
I'd that he had spent no money for
corrupt purposes during the Montana
senatorial campaign. He gave a de-
tailed statement of expenditures for
political purposes during the legisla-
tive and senatorial contests, which
footed up, as Senator Turley an

JOHN H. BENBROOK is
ON Trial FOR HIS LIFE
The Slayer Of Burton c. MorriS Faces a Court Of
Justice.
Tedious Work Of Securing Jury Begun only Two Being
Accepted by Both Sides Yesterday

John Il. Benbrook, who killed Burton
c. Morris on the evening Of July 10 at
the Merchants cafe, is on trial for his
life There viii be many long and
wearisome days before the jury viii
declare whether he is to be hanged
sent TO the penitentiary or acquitted.
Ehere was little done yesterday. or
at least little progress made. Only two
jurors were selected out of many eX-
amined. They were:
+, J. Jacklin of MIL Creek. 50 years
of age, born in England. lie is married,
has been in Utah twenty-five years
and is a farmer.
William Gerard of Taylorsville, 80
years of age, born in England. He is
married, has been in Utah seventeen
years and is a wool-gIower.
There are four possible verdicts-aC-
Quittal, Involuntary manslaughter. vol
untary manslaughter and murder in
the filst degree
Probably there is as much interest
in this case as in any other homicide
trial heard i'm Utah in many years.
There is about the case an element Of
mystery which cannot be cleared up
until BenbroOk has given an his testi-

the matter and what viii keep up the

sidered them the stronger men, not
that they had anything against the
other fellow.
The Dunbar men were jubilant over
the outcome late last night. On the
almost complete returns from the city
and partial returns from the country
districts, they claimed fully so per
cent of the delegates from Salt Lake
county No instructions were given with
but one exception. and many delegates
will express no preference. The one
desire seems to be to do what is best
for the party, and they will withhold
their decision until the whole situation
il thoroughly canvassed.
The total attendance at the primaries
Of the city. as near as it could be ascer-
tanned, was about 1900. while the pri-
maries in the country districts, as far
as reported. were still better attended
Mr.. Dunbar's View.
IN discussing the result of the pri-
maries last evening, after the returns
were in, Mr.. Dunbar said: so far
as I have examined the results of the
primaries. they are very gratifying to
me. It seems as though my friends
were active in my behalf throughout
the county. and as this is my home
county and the largest county in the
state. I am certainly pleased with its
endorsement"

The latter is FOley's purported Wlfe

1t is largely through her influence that
an amicable adjustment was reached,
but the men were weakening for want
of food, and the probabilities are that
they could have held out but few
hours longer.
FoIey's desperation was fed IN the
belief of public interference, but with
this idea brushed aside, his surrender
was made easy. All is now quiet around

Spencer Wilkinson. reviewing the
military operation in the Morning Post,
dwells upon the Importance of the OPP
erations OF Sir Redvers Butler. and
says:
Now is General Buffers great
chance. Now is the time to throw him
self with all his might into the task
before him and to hit hard without
counting losses too closely. He will
then probably defeat the Beers and re-
heve Ladysmith this week. Failing

from sending achievements to the

operations so far. however. il looks as
though the Natal Beers had sent re
Inducements to General CTonje. who
may bee delaying a fight by retreaung
until those achievements shall have
had time to reach him"
In conclusion, Mr.. Wilkinson reiter-
ates his statement that victories are
more Important than positions, adding:
No doubt Lord Roberts has done the
best that was possible. but the essen
tial thing still is to destroy the Boer
