James .. Murpin, an attorney
OF Detroit, Mich, was the first
witness today. He described the
wholesale purchase of aid for
PRESIDENT Taft i'm the Wayne
State.
The witness declared: cit Is n
matter OF general knowledge that
the primaries i'm Detroit TO elect
ueiegateS TO the State convention.
which, in turn, elected deIegafeS
TO the National Convention. were,
the most rotten and cOrruDt that
Michigan has ever seen. One
SIDE was bad as the other. Our
men happened to be more sIxiIfuI.
and we got the delegates. Money
was the only thing that counted
in the primary"
Murfin said THAI he and Captain
Fred Alger raised a sum and
onered IL to John Mckay, an at
tOrney, who was i'm charge of the
Taft forces.
Murfin said ne could not give
SPECIFIC instances of the purchase

Regarding the specific instance
10 which that refers" said he at
VIII say that the matter was
brought to my attention by two
letters and two kilograms from
Iheodore Roosevelt, covering N
10 October 20, 1904.
Il received the first letter and
telegram i'm New York and the
letter was shown TO Mr.. Bliss. as
PRESIDENT Roosevelt, in n note
at the bottom, had asked that
that be done. In showing him
this communication I asked
whether he had received anv
money from the Standard oil
Company. L did not show the
second letter to him, as / had Al
ready received his response and
denial on showing him the first
communication"
The letters TO which Cortelyou
reIerred are the famous queries
OI freS1dent Roosevelt following
the charges by Judge Alton n
Parker, that he was receiyinc aJi
rom corporations. In Them
colonel Roosevelt demanded "a
denial from Bliss of the CHARGES
made against the administration.

WOMAN ROBBED or IS
E rings By N[6ROES

NEW YORK. SpecisR-- Two young
women. each carrying satchel
walked down Jerome Avenue at $50
o'clock Tuesday night and at Rs9sholu
Parkway stopped TO wait for a trolley
car This is one of the most lonesome
sections of the Bronx
Occasionally a policeman gallops
past on his horse or an automobile
speeds by. hut the neighborhood at
night IS practically deserted.
FOR several minutes the girls waited.
Then one OF them screamed. dropped
her satchel and started to run. AT
the same time a negro leaped from
the woods, and, oVertakfng her,
knocked her down with a club.
The other girl screamed. also. and
ran at the negro. swinging her satchel.
The satchel was snatched from her
hand and while the negro choked her
with one hand he beat her on the
head with the club. The girl who had
been knocked Down first went to the
aid of her companion
Both Beaten Inscnsible.
The two then were beaten into in
sensibility. The negro tore their rings
from their fingers and took several
other small articles Of jewelry and So
made off.
For osn hour or more the uncon-
scious girls lay on the road When
they revived they were too weak from
fright and their injuries to more than
crawl, and It was nearly 10 O'Clock
before they reached the home of DR..
William A Roberts, at 240 East Two
Hundred and First Street. They fell
outside the house. but cir cries were
heard and DR.. Roberts carried them
into the house.
The girls are Miss Susie Hayward
and Miss Elizabeth Bechtolf. trained
nurses, living in the nurses home at
3SS Lexington Avenue.
Miss Hayward was the more Sc
riously injured. DR.. Roberts found
that she had conclusion of the brain
and possibly a fracture of the skull.
Miss Bechtolf had many cuts on the
head, face ana body.
The Bronx detective bureau was no
tined by DR.. Roberts and Lieutenant
Tierney and Detective Quick assigned
to the case. So serious was Miss Hay
wards condition that no attempt was
made TO get a description of the negro
from her. Miss Bechtolf was ques-
toned, but she was so hystericaI that
little could be got from her.
Later she said that Miss Hayward
was first attacked by the negro and
the first blow struck had probably
caused her worst injury.
Or. Roberts called in neighboring
physicians for consultation and the
nurses We're advised to go TO the hos
pitai but they refused, saying they
could get as good care at the nurses
nome. They were taken there in an
automobile.
Miss Hayward ana Miss Bechtolf
had been employed on a case by DIR.
Roberts and had just left the physi-
clans home when the negro attacked
them.

''In my first testimony L stated
that had not heard or any con-
tributfon OF III. III. Rogers during
the campaign, but that, after the
campaign, L had heard that he
had contributed a considerable
sum-" said CorteIyou. 81 repeat
In this testimony today L never
heard Mr.. Archbold's name men,
toned during the campaign OF
lvO4, but Il have n faint rccOilec-
lon OF having heard Rogers
nave clear recollection of hav-
ing heard from Bliss after the
campaign that Rogers had con-
tributed."
Did You know that during the
campaign OF 1904 an fy,t-rviey
was arranged for you with some,
of the Standard OIL peopIc?"
asked Chairman Clapp.
Il have no recollection of any,
thing or that kind, but the testf-
mony which has been given re-
calls MIR. Bliss having asked me
10 see two or three people, but L
would not pretend to identify
them with the Standard OH
people"

or twice, some time i'm July at the
beginning of the campaign. L

Perkins.
.. IL has been suggested bv
testimony that you may have
been one of the gentlemen who
called on Morgan with refer
ence TO an additional cOntribu-
ton?
n. L never asked MIR. Morgan
FOR any contribution.
.. But were you present when
any one else applied for a con-
tribution?
A. No, sir; never.
.. What do you know about
tho Morgan contribution?
n. Nothing whatever. I never
heard of IL until il was brought
out in the testimony before the
committee.
.. You may state what you
know of the SO-caIIed Hartman
fund of S24O,OOO.
A. What 1 may say about that
will be entirely hearsay.
Cortelyou continued his testf-
mony. and said that he may nave
heard of the Hartman fund late
in the fall, after the campaign
had closed. He said he had al
ways understood that the fund
was raised solely for the New
York State Committee, and that
his present belief is that some
$4,000 destined for use by the
State Committee passed through
the hands OF National Treasurer
Bliss merely as n convenience TO
tho contributors"
In the audit of the National
committee accounts" said CorteI-
you, "made by Mr.. Cannon, there
Is an item of $215, 900, / believe,
which Is tabled as having been
handled by the National Commit
tee for State committees. and I
think IL possible that that Is the
Hartman fund or n part of it."
