Mr. Lodge pointed out that the en-
ployment of Browne and Baldwin as oe-
tectives had been done originally By
William II. Taft when he was Secretary
OF War. and that they continued their
investigations under the direction OK Gen.
Wright. Nj Taft's successor in the War
Department.
He said the fund provided in 1899, from
which the detectives were paid. had been
used By Mr.. Root as Secretary Of War.
and he contended that such good lawyers

The speakers arraignment OF the meth
cd by which the detectives were employed
and paid was particularly severe. He
said:
We are informed that this money has

March 3. 1899, the language OF which ap-
preparation is as follows: For emergency

Sought to Entrap.

and then sought 10 misiead and entrap
him with slanderous lies that bis com
rades were 'peaehing,' and that II he
would escape arrest and extradition 70
Texas, from where he would probably
never return TO his young wife and fam
lis. he. too. must make a statement false
ly accusing his absent comrades. and
then. when he refused 70 comply, assert
ing his innocence, they fabricated a story
OF confession and attempted suicide,
which was a base falsehood from begin
ming 10 end, Is has noT been completely
and fully shown
IN all the history Of crime and its de-
lection nothing more ztrocious. disreput-
able and disgracefuI has ever been re-
corded.
1T seems a waste Of time 10 cite cases
in support Of propositions so elementary
as that confessions involving criminal
guilt are never permitted IN any court
unless it can be shown that they were
given voluntarily. without inducement or
hope Of reward o. promise Of immunity
or without any duress. OF without any
suggestion Of be-eft OF any kind or na~
ture whatsoever to the party making the
confession
This elementary principle OF the law
was well known 70 the detective. Herbert

COnyer's Case.

Senator Foraker proceeded to present
affidsvIts and other evidence bearing on
the case Of Boyd Conyers. summing his
evidence up as follows.
Il hazard nothing in saying that this
testimony viii prove sufficient to estab-
lish firmly in the minds Of all honest men
from one end Of this land TO the other. not
only that the reports OF these so-calIed
detectives. in so far as they attempt 70
show confessions and incriminating state
ments made BY COnyers. are base fabri-
cations. without any truth whatever on
which TO rest, but that the whole work in
which they have been engaged is the re-
suit Of a plot and a conspiracy blacker
and more damnable than anything that
has been charged against the soldiers
themselves, even II the worst that has
been said should prove to be the truth:

crime Of murder. more atrocious and
more indefensiOle stil is q cold. scheming.

any citizen Of Brownsville. On the con-

and conclusive that no member of that

SENATORSTEWART

Ex-senator William M Stewart of
Nevada died a week ago in Washington,
aged 81 years He was an eminent law
yer; he served Nevada many years in the
senate of the United States; he was
controlling factor on the west coast for
many years. He was master spirit on
the Cotnstock when the problems to be
solved there were most difficult mas
ter spirit both as Il lawyer and in settling
the complicated features OF mining
which were then in state of half chaos,
for at that time there was 70 well de
fined law to locate miies and to estab
senate he drafted the 18th amendment
to the Constitutions he framed the min
ing law which first fixed the method OF
locating mines and defining what the
location carried; for years he was one of
the ablest advocates of silver; SO able
that his arguments were never answered.
He was massive and imposing man
physically; in private life he was one o
the most kindly, cordial aud generous of
men, He gained half dozen fortunes;
his practice alone must have brought
him 100000 per year for the first FIVE
years on the Comstock, but we suspect
lie died poor. He never BETRAYED a
friend or cause: his chaiac was
above reproach.
He was All interchangeable worker: his ex-
ecutive abilities were of the highest; his
abilities were frst-class i'll Judging any
other mans cause except his own. He
was an honor to the State that lonored
him over and over with the senatorship.
lie was an honor to earnest manhood
everywhere. Goodwins Weekly.
