SPEAKER SEES DETECTIVES
Explains His Connection With Nye's
Expose of Bribery.

Columbus. O., May g. Suspecting
for the fl"st time that he himself
might have been used as tool Sam
uel j. Nining. speaker of the house,
conferred with the three Burns detec-
tives, Messrs. Harrison, Berry and
Bailey, and told them without hesita-
ton every detail of the occurrences
that led up TO the bribery charges
which We're made against the detec-
tives by Representative Nye.
The conference showed, by the
statements of the detectives to the
speaker that Representative Nye had
told them that the speaker could be
bought for $1,000. 1t showed further
that the speaker never actually saw
the money which Mr.. Nye said he
turned over to the speaker, but that
the speaker saw only the outside OF
the envelope and that the envelope
now reposes in the safe Of Clerk
Kempel OF the house of represents
tives. II developed also that Dr. Nye
according to the speaker, had solicit.
ed membership on the steering com
mittee
The speaker showed hot anger
when told by the detectives that Nye
had said he could be bought for
$1,000.
"That was an absolute lie," he said
~ never at any time authorized DR.
Nye to make such a statement"
The anger of the speaker was even
greater when the detectives told him
that Nye made statements about him
that are not even mentionable. and
that impugned his character in the
worst way.

need no confessions, they say. Op-

Columbus, o., May 2.-"lf they had

have run out OF money" is the Ian
guage used by r. A. Harrison, one OF
the Burns detectives employed by
Columbus business men to run down
alleged g-afters in both branches of
the general assembly. According to
Harrison, between 15 and 20 men,
bers will be implicated in the bribery
charges brought out by the arrest OF
three detectives on warrants sworn
to by Dr.. George B. Nye of Pike
county, who alleged that he had been
paid 5000 by the detectives, who
posed as lobbyists, to oppose one and
support another measure.
The detectives say that in their in
vestigations they learned of other
deals which have been pulled off dur
ing tho present session of the legis-
iature; of bills which were passed
and bills which were killed by the
use of money. All of this evidence
they have III shape to present to the
grand jury, and SO sure are they of
their ground that they say: Before
this thing is over, they'll be falling
over each other to get to the prose-
cutting attorneys Office to tell him all
they know, just like they did in Pitts
burg"
The general price of votes, it is
said, was $500. except for the ring
leaders who passed out the money.
They were given larger sums for
their Influence" and for peddling the
bribe money. but the price of the
common herd was 5000. twenty-five
OF 80 members Of the house had to be
handled with money, according to the
information the detectives say they
received. The others could be "whip-
