ADAMS METHODS EXPOSED.

Denver, Colo, Feb. 9, 1905.
The sensation of yesterday was not
what happened in the contest com
made in the district court by Shep-
person, one of the Democratic officials
in Ward Z, precinct 8. All these of
ficials had been sentenced by the Su-
preme Court for contempt, and yester-
day they were on trial In the district
court. Shepperson turned states evi-
dence and described how the ballots
we're all written at the home OF Mich
ael Dowd on the afternoon before cleo
ton. and substituted for the genuine
ballots on election day.
The evidence before the Supreme
| Court had shown that during the
count of the ballots the light had gone
out, and that some one WAS seen by
| the light OF match going out Of the
back door with ballots; and that after
| the lights came on, the Republican
pile was smaller than before. Shep-
persons evidence was therefore only
confiI matory of what was already
known; but II forms strong link
and of course the Republicans claim
that what was done in that precinct
was also done in others The Shep
person confession will be introduced
by the Republicans before the contest

witness of the evening was John l
