Testimony in New Mexican House
Hearing Hits Accused Men.
PARTY COMMITTEE SETS DECoY
Republican State Executive Body
Takes Action In Alleged Graft Case
TO Free Republicans
Any faint.

SANTA FE. n. NJ, March a.-Repub-
lean State Chairman yenceslao Jara-
milo and Elfego Baca were witnesses this
afternoon and tonight BEFORE the house
committee which Is investigating the
bribery scandal. The cross-examination
was spirited and ELECTED that 1t was the
republican state executive committee that
had arranged the decoy to trap the four
accused republican legislators in order
that the republican party might be purged
OF any faint that might be thought TO
arise from the alleged acts of the de-
PENDANTS.
A number Of rumors also, we've brought
out that the defendants had solicited
brides from other candidates for the
United States senatorship. but the COM
mittee excluded all rumors and all names
Of senatorial candidates not directly con-
nected with the incident which Is being
probed. II Is believed that the hearing
will be concluded early next week.
Prosecuting Witness Baca gave de-
tailed account Of the happenings Of Sat
urday, March Is. when. he alleged, the
four defendants called on Judge A. B.
Fall at the Palace hotel One of the de-
PENDANTS. he declared. asked directly for
money. the men COMPLAINTS that their
election had cost them money and that
they should be reimbursed for the outlay.
Dickering for Their Pay.
Baca testified that Lucero. one Of the
defendants, proposed. that the four would
be willing to vote once for Baca's candi-
date for $500 each: that a second defend
ant proposed that they would vote twice
for that sum and would stay with the
candidate to the end for 5000 for all.
When Baca rebuked them and told them
that a senator gets only 1850 year and
his living expenses are high. Lucero re-
piled, the witness said. that senators made
5000 at a whack on such matters as the
sugar question. for instance.
Baca pointed out to the defendants theil
disgrace and the penalty. he said. and tolo
them that he would inform National Com
mltteeman Solomon Luna. who had lef'
the city. however. Baca said he ther
sought advice from II. o. Brusum, whC
was the republican candidate for Cover
nor, and that the latter suggested thai
one Of the men be arrested as an example
Baca sees Committee.
On Monday. he testified. two Of the de
PENDANTS at the Palace hotel told hin
that some one else would give then
money n he would not talk business

"Of course any statements made by
