Declares Had Nothing 10 Do
With Stephenson Election.
Lumber Man Before Senatorial
Investigators, Monday.
Strong Testimony Covering The
Other Charges Against Him.

Milwaukee, Wis, oct. 23.-Edward
Hines, the lumber man, denied before
| the senatorial investigating commit
| tee, today, that he, directly or indi.
rectly, has had anything to do viii
the election of Senator Isaac Stephen
son.
Mr.. Hines denial covered the fol-
lowing:
That he went TO Washington and
there tod Senator Stephenson that
because of charges OF corruption,
made in the Legislature the senator
could not be reelected.
That to overcome this obstacle he
entered into an agreement whereby
he and Stephenson each contributed
$55. GOO. which resulted in an election
by the Wisconsin Legislature on
March T. 1893. after three Democratic
Assemblymen had absented them
selves.
That he paid Robert J. Shield $500
to help put over the election.
did you ever assist in or receive
any benefit from the election of Sen
ator Stephenson Mr.. Hines was
asked by Senator Hepburn, chairman
of the committee.
Never. Nor did | ever make or re-
eeive any promise in that regard. /
have known Senator Stephenson for
20 years and in that time have done
over s1o00o.G00 worth of lumber bust
ness With him. but l had no dealing
whatever in his election. i WAS inter-
ested 10 q small extent in his cam
paign in the primaries. This was sim
ply to ask Shields To induce some
business men 10 send a kind of APP
peal to The public to support the SEN
ator because Of his long standing as a
Business man in the state
Mr.. Hines said that much of the testi-
mony was given the committee by Writ
II. Cook Of Duluth was due 10 business
reasons. Hines said Cook wrote a letter
threatening to expose him if he qHmes1
did not withdraw as a director from a
company in which both were interested.
Hines also denied part Of a conversation
attributed to him by Cook at a hotel in
Chicago. in which Hines was feputed to
have said: Il have had a terrible time
getting Stephenson lined up. After
elected him. he goes down To Washington
and votes for free lumber, and he's 4
lumberman. too
The committee endeavored to trace the
source of the charges duplicating Hines
and Shields
Another feature of today's session was
an admission by Assemblyman Jos. DOM
aschowski that his charge that he was
offered a bride of $500 to remain from the
Legislature at the time of stephenson's
election was joke
Domasehowskis allegation was made
one Of the specific charges against Sem
ator Stephenson. on the witness stand
he declared it was intended only as a
joke and he was never offered any bride
Several other witnesses testified that they
heard the assemblyman's charge and
were led by him to believe that it was
true but afterwards they were told by
him it was not true.

who Is now in a cell at the Essex
county Jail, charged with the murder
of his wife by the substitution of
cyanide OF potassium for headache
medicine.
Mcfarland. who had previously been
quoted as positively regarding the
death as wholly accidental, now be-
lieves that his wife committed suicide
statements which he is previously
credited with having made to the eff
feet that any friendship he might have
had for another women was unknown
To his wife. are reaitered by the belief
now expressed that Mrs Mcfarland
had discovered some of the letters re-
ceived by him from Miss Florence
Bromley of Philadelphia. and that
knowing where the cyanide of potas-
stun was kept, she deliberately drank
the fatal drug.
Frank A McDermit. who has been
spent several hours in the cell with his
client, today. and later made public
the new phase Of The ease. He said
that Mcfarland positively declared
himself innocent If the murder but
admitted that he had not been on the
best OF domestic terms with his Wife.
The relations were So strained, in fact,

been removed from the bath room into
nearby bedroom and the bath room had
been placed in order and various articles
removed. In this way. in the confusion
surrounding the discovery of the girl in
dying condition, someone had seized the
glass in which it is thought the girl took
the poison, washed it cut and used it for
giving the unconscious girl aromatic
spirits of ammonia in the hope of reviv-
ing her. Thus the glass furnishes no OPP
portunty for analysis by which to de-
termine the strength of the solution
which the girl swallowed.
Medical Examiner Leary is authority
for the statement, however, that no spe-
clay significance need be placed on the
fact that the girl survived Is minutes
after taking such deadly poison. lie
cites cases where the poison has been
taken and the victim lived. because OF
the overdose He also had knowledge of
cases where the poison has been in such
a state of deterioration that death was
delayed considerable time. This dag
nosis is borne out by other physicians
who have had experience in the use oil
poisons.

Orville Wright had a narrow escape
from serious injury, today, when his
glider turned over in the air and dash
ed to the ground. The machine was
disabled not so badly that it can
not be repaired again for flights, to-
morrow or Wednesday. Today's acct
dent was the second the machine has
met with since the present expert
ments We're begun.
Wright had made one short glide in
the machine and was essaying a sec
ond when the glider began to turn
turtle slowly in cross wind The
aviator scrambled n!mbly over the
machine as it turned. with the result
that he was on top of it when it dived
