PRESENT FROM CLARK.
Witness Admits Having Received
the Sum af S5.0OO.


Washington, Feb. 22.-Senator Clark
yesterday continued and completed his
testimony before the senate committee
on elections, but his testimony did not
attract as much attention as that of
other witnesses who were heard dur
ing the day. The other witnesses were
Frank Corbett of Butte. recalled; Il. g.
Day, who was the Clark leader on the
floor of the Montana house of repre-
sentatives, and John r.. Welcome, who
was a general manager for Mr.. Clark.
Mr.. Welcome did not take the stand
until late, and his examination was not
completed when the committee adj
journed for the day. He made a gen.
cations made by Whiteside and 9th
ers. Denials were made in response to
questions by Mr.. Faulkner and the
witness uniformly answered, II did
not" no." or nothing like that oc-
Cured"
Mr.. Day admitted having accepted a
present Of $1,000 from Mr.. Clark. and
said he understood that 1t was given
as testimonial and as compensation
for his services. The oath of office as
member of the house was read and
seemed to produce quite an impression
upon some of the committee.
Mr.. Corbett and Judge Piggott were
confronted for brief period early in
the day and in rather dramatic man
ner. The both testified concerning
mortgage held by Mr.. Corbett and
there was direct clash in statements.
