 GUILTY Or TREASON'
Charles P. ]. Mooney, Former Editor Of New York American Tells Campaign Committee About Let
 lers - Bought Only Few.

New York, Jan. 23.-Charles P. J. Mooney, editor of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and formerly managing editor of the New York American, told the senate campaign Iund Investigating committee today about securing copies of some of yhe Standard Oil letters published by William R. Hearst.
 Mr. Mooney testified he negoti- ated for copies of only few of the ArchbOld letters; that they were brought 10 the American offices by a white man whose name he did not know. and that he pald less nan S50O.
 i believed that with letters con aiming matter of this sort 1t was someone duty to make them pub ic They showed that senators and the public interests, were commit
 ing treason against the people, ' Mr. Mooney told the committee.
 He testified that when he became managing editor of the New York American in 1904, John Eddy, pre- ytously city editor, turned over to him a number of photographic copies of Standard Oil correspond ence with public men. As to how these were obtained Mr. Mooney could give no information. Later, a man he could name offered him more letters and wanted Mr. Moon ey 10 buy them, assuring him he had come by them honestly. MT Mooney made some photographic copies.
 q was later assured by counsel, said Mr. Mooney, that it would nave been entirely proper for me tC buy original letters containing mat ter of such a criminal character. did not want them, however, as did not care tO have them remain in my possession or in the paper, ! possession"
 Mr. Mooney denied the statemen in an affidavit by Charles Stump presented to the committee las week, that Mr. Chamberlain anC Mir. Mooney had inspected letter books taken from the Standard Oi offices. He said he never saw sucf books and that he had never nego- iiated with Mir. Chamberlain for any letters. He added further that he had never talked with Mr. Hearst about the correspondence and never bought any of the originals.
 Mir. Mooney branded the state ment that S3l,000 was paid for copies of the Standard Oil letters as an "absurdity." When asked for his judgment as to the statement that $500 was paid, Mr. Mooney replied that from a news point of view that price would not have been excessive.
 The committee took an indefinite recess.

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Keel Boat.


 A few minutes later they had separated, George to hur- " away in search of the horse, and Darlington to pass back along the shore until he gained a point opposite the clearing. He whistled shrilly three times. and after an interval of waiting heard the splash of oars and presently saw a skiff steal out of the gloom.
 Who's there?" It was Bess who asked the question.
 Darlington" he answered.
 Lucky you ain't met the other mani" she said as she swept her skin alongside the bank.
 Lucky for him, you mean. I'll take the oars," added Darlington, as he entered the skiff
 Slowly the clearing lifted out of the darkness, then the keel boat became distinguishable; and Darlington checked the skiff by g backward stroke of the oars.
 "Hello!" he called.
 There was no immediate answer to his hail, and he called again as he sent the skiff forward. He felt that he was risking all now.
 What do you want?" asked a surly voice.
 You want Slosson!" quickly prompted the girl in whisper.
 T want to see Slosson!" said Car rington glibly and with confidence, and once more he checked the skiff. Who be your"
 "Murrell sent you" prompted the girl again, in a hurried whisper.
 "Murrell-" And in his astonish- ment Darlington spoke aloud.
 "Murrell?" cried the voice sharply.
