at Fort Sheridan. asserted he had not
heard anything of the arrest of Capt.
Tillman.
His regiment is at Sparta and 1 am
sure he is there with it," asserted
Lieut.. Comstock. HE is not due here

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27.-At the
inquiry by the United states senate
special committed today into the con-
duct of commercial law by federal Of
ficials, L. S. williams was recalled
and questioned by United States At
torney Devlin concerning a letter from
Williams to DR.. Perrin published to-
day by a morning paper here. Will
liams admitted that the letter which
told of his activity before the senate
judiciary committee in behalf of DR.,
Perrin was a correct copy.
Senator Stone then made a state
ment denying that he had refused to
admit a copy of the letter to the record
of the inquiry, declaring that he had
never seen it until he read the pub
lished letter today.
Michael j. Dunn. who styled himself
a Jury expert" said he had been en-
ployed in the Perrin case by United
States District Attorney Devlin. The
witness stated he drew his pay in the
United States marshars office. did
nothing to earn It and "just looked
wise"
The only other witness examined to-
day was Samuel Priest a detective
who assisted w. J. Burns in shadow
ing members of the Perrin jury. He
declared that he had not witnessed any
improper acts by the men whom he
was instructed to watch.
Judge ]. E. Harper was the princi-
pal witness of the day. He said he
had approached Curtiss Hillyer, at
torney for Charles Smell in 1907. and
had learned from him that Smell had
made a statement that he could tell
facts that would clear DR.. Perrin in
, the land fraud cases. Harper wanted
Hillyer to advise Smell to go to Ari-
zona and make statement there ex-
onerating Perrin.
conversation was had between
Hillyer and the witness in which it
was suggested to Hillyer that he could
go to Washington as the attorney for
DR.. Perrin and that he probably would
receive a fee of $4,000 and 800 a day
expenses while in the east.
Harper told Senator Stone that Hill
yer wanted DR.. Perrin to agree to a
settlement in civil suit involving
SS700 which Smell had brought against
the land operator. At this point, Har-
per says he gave up his interest in the
case.
