Charges In Hanna Elec-
tion Recalled by
Boyce's Death.

Special to News Democrat.
Columbus, O.. Oct. 1.-THE news of
the deaf hof Col. H. H. Boyce in New
York as the result of street car acci-
dent, recalls the prominent place his
name took in the charges of bribery
made in connection with the election
of Senator Hanna in January, 1898.
T. c. Campbell, an attorney of Gin
cinnati and New York, claimed that
Boyce solicited him to induce J. G.
Otis silver Republican of Cincinnati
and d member Of the house, to vote
for Hanna. He gave Campbell $1,750
cash in hand, and the rest of $4,000
was to come when Otis voted
for Hanna. Campbell displayed the
bunch of bills, said to contain the
$l.750, when on the witness stand in
the investigation. The Democrats
claimed that when they found this out
they arranged fake long distance tele-
phone messages with the Hanna head
quarters here, having the wires tapped
at Cincinnati so that witnesses to con-
versations could hear what was said.
jerry P. Bliss and Allen o. Myers, Jr..
were said to have heard these messages
connecting the Hanna managers with
the Boyce operations in Cincinnati. 1t
was claimed that Boyce and S. d. Hol-
lenbeck, now state fire marshal. came
to Columbus and were driven to a
house where e. G.. Rathbone was stop
ping. Boyce was never seen again. Mr..
Hollenbeck said yesterday when the
Boyce matter was called up that he
never saw Boyce in his life.

"The very existence of your contin-

He said today: "Any movement to
