Dcnver, Aug. 14.-From the
reluctant employees Of the utility
corporations were wrllng con-
fessions on the witness stand
today which revealed in a new
light the extent to which fraud
was carried on at the last cleo
ton. After Judge Ben B.
Lindsey had attacked recalcit-
rant witnesses severely, and adj
vised their prosecution for per-
jury they became less obstinate
with the possibility Of prison
terms ahead. Altogether, ten
witnesses have admitted that
they voted at the last election

own and to which they had no

Grand Army died today, max
ing three who have passed away
since the commencement Of the
present encampment.
J. II. Burke, Of Burlingame,
Kansas, fell dead while stand
ing in front of the clerks desk
in the Pauley hotel. Death was
caused by apoplexy, induced by
the heat Of the day. The other
death was that Of George Fl.
Smith, former member of the
First New York dragons.
Smith was knocked down by a
horse which was driven rapidly
around the corner just as he
vas about to take q street car.
The fight for commander-in-
chief became active and bitter
today. Many copies Of a circu-
lar attacking a war record of
Capt. II. Coney, Of Kansas, a
prominent candidate, were
handed around. The circular
was not signed and Captain
Coney declared that the attack
was SO baseless as to be beneath
notice.
1t is the intention Of the
members Of the Ladies of the
Grand Army to offer resolu-
ton in the business meeting of
the Grand Army urging the
purchase Of the Mclean house
Of Appomattox for the purpose
Of converting 1t into a national
museum. It is said that the
plan was met with favor on the
part of the confederate veter-
ans, who have offered to aid in
the project.
Tomorrow the great parade
is to be held and a holiday will
be declared throughout the city.
1t is expected that about fifteen
thousand men will be in line.

The obstructive tactics Of the
corporation lawyers and the
employees who were called on
as witnesses eXasperated Judge
Lindsey to such an extent that
it is virtually certain several Of
the witnesses will be prosecuted
for perjury. 1t is asserted by
the municipal ownership men
who are pushing the fight that
the corporations are being made
desperate by the expose and are
determined at any cost to pre-
vent a complete revelation Of all
that took place. Corruption of
party officials, forgery Of tax
receipts and coercion Of voters
are all included and will be re-
vealed, they assert.

Dubuque Oct. 1S.-Sheriff James ].
Dunn stands accused Of charging the
county for the board and lodging of
prisoner In the Jail for a considerable
period after the man had been released.
There III plenty of evidence to show
that the prisoner, Raymond Devaney
by name, served but one day of If
teen day sentence, while the sworn
statement Of Dunn Is found on the bill
to the county that he was in durance
for fifteen days. Moreover, the pris-
oner's fine was paid by Henry Gehrig,
proprietor of the Jefferson House, but
no record can be found on the books
OF the county treasurer that it was paid
to that official. That Gehrig paid the
money Is proved not only by his state-
ment, which is in itself sufficient, but
by the fact that Devaney paid him the
money back.
Charge Made to Supervisors.
The charge against Sheriff Dunn has
just been made in the report of a spe-
cial committee appointed last May to
see why there We're so many men in
jail. and particularly why Dunns bills
for dieting and lodging were so large
in the months Of 1905 up to the time
the committee was appointed.
On this committee, Martin Byrne, Of
the board, was appointed chairman, the
other two being E. p. Laude and r. II.
McQuillen.
Committees Report.
The committees report is to the eff
feet that, according to the bills, the
county paid the sheriff for lodging and
dieting on the average sixty-nine pris-
oners day for every day in January.
1906, the rate being so cents day;
seventy-four persons a day for every
day In February, 1906, and eighty four
persons a day for every day in March,
1906. It also found that the Jail con-
tains only twenty-one cells in the main
department and six cells in the iuve-
nile department. This makes a total OF
twenty seven cells. none of which will
accommodate over two prisoners.
Charged Whom Man Was Out.
The report says that In Sheriff
Duiia y account LOT May, ISU5, a charge
of 1880 was made for lodging and Diet
ing r. Devaney for fifteen days. This
was checked up and found to compare
with The record of commitments and
discharges in Sheriff Dunn's office,
showing that Devaney was committed
to jail May 5, 1905, and discharged fif-
teen days later The bill as thus verb
fed was ordered paid. The committee
has since been advised by Devaney
that he spent only one day in Jail, and
then directed that man be sent to
Mr. Henry Gehrig, who would pay his
fine. Mr.. Gehrig says he paid $40 for
Devarleys release the day following
the commitment and that Devaney
subsequently repaid him the money.
