York and other Cities,
Mr.. Lawson charges in effect:
Thal the appointment of Dwight Bra
man by the United States Court in vii
minglOn, Del, as Ireceiyer of the Bay
State Gas Company in October, 1896,
was at first an oyepowering shock to j..
Edward Addicks.
That a deal was fixed up to pay $500,
600 to the receiver, the complaining
stakeholder and his lawyer to have the
receivership dismissed.
That II. n. Rogers, next TO John D.
Rockefeller, the leading spirit in Stand
ard Oil, who was interested in the deal,
had collected IS, 0OO 600 in Wall street
to carry five doubtful States tor Nc
Kinley.
That it was arranged that the part OF
this sum intended for Delaware should
re used in buying oil the receivership.
That the plan was actually carried out
and that a portion o. the money passed
in court right under the nose of Judge
Wales Immediately after he had dis
missed the receiver.
That Addicks planned to have the
men with the booty robbed by gang Of
toughs after they left the courtroom, but
This miscarried and the money was used
in stock tObbing operations.
Mr.. Lawson said last night in Boston

the Gass nhemier case, the defense
challenging five and the prosecution ex-
hausied about seven Of their charges in
the panel which was called.
The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill, which was passed by Congress last
week. will not become law until after
the Christmas holidays. Senator Per-
kins, who was deputized by President
pro tenn Frye Of the Senate to preside
over that body during his absence, feels
doubtful as to his authority to sign APP
preparation bills, and he has concluded
TO allow the measure to await the sigma
ture Of Mr.. Frye on his return. The
hill carries a total appropriation OF
s24O, 900 only.
Among the nominations sent 70 the
Senate today by the President was that
Of J. E. B. Stuart, OF Virginia, to be
United States Marshal for the Eastern
District of Virginia.

The smoot Investigation.

The Senator Reed SmOot investigation
Yesterday reached that period where
counsel for the protestant have cOnclud-
ell the examination Of all persons who
could be reached by the subpenas issued
BY the Senate committee. Attorney
Tayler announced that he was ready to
rest his case, except for the introduction
of documentary evidence, and possibly
to examine later some persons on whom
il has been impossible to get service.
The case of the respondent will be open
ed January 10, to which date the hear
ings have been adjourned.
Just before adjournment of the COM
mttee, opposing counsel engaged in a
controversy over the admissibility of
certain reference works as evidence of
he doctrines of the Mormon faith. No
agreement could be reached and after
heated arguments Mr.. Tayler recalled
Apostle Penrose to identify certain REL
erence books. In number of instances
Mr.. Penrose denied that the works have
been accepted by the church as authori-
tative publications, and said many OF
the matters contained in the documents
