Lulgt Crisp ! Is a natural son of the for mer jircmlcr. Ills career has been notorious. Ho was ( shipped off to Argentina soon after the accusation of theft was brought against him and his father used his vast influence an prime minister to thwart all efforts to find cither the Jcwela or the robber. The countess followed the matter up energeti cally and noon found tlc : thieves and the dealer to whom they sold the Jewels. The thieves were two brothers named Malplcrl and n myslerloua Manuel. The evidence left no doubt that Lulgl Crlspl Induced the countess , whose Intimate friend ho was , to remove her Jewels from her banker , where they had been placed , to her rooms on a certain day. upon tbo pre tense 'that a would-be purchaser wished to flea them. Whllo yet they were In her apartments ho persuaded her to go Frascal , his accomplices meantime secreted thcm- flolvcs In the apartment. This having been done , ho took the countess homo nnd left her at midnight , after an unusually tender farewell. One of the men concerned In the robbery was sentenced to fourteen months' Imprison ment. Early In 189.1 Uilgl's lavish expenditure hail awakened suspicion that ho was living ' a fast life , and Slgnor Crlspl was soon made I painfully aware that the source of his son's | funds was the sale of private papers to the I enemies' of the statesman , Some of these !

There were n&aln four or five witnesses before the Hebato committee on privileges and elections today In connection with the attack upon the right of Senator Clark of Montana to hla seat In the senate. One of the wit nesses , State Senator ' M > era , produced a letter from C. W. Clark , eon of the senator , telling him ( Myers ) no 1'iad forwarded J300 ns a retainer for him as attorney In con- nectlon with the coal interests of the Clarks. A dentist nalhed Ector also dis played letters from Senator Clark himself referring to Mr. W. M. Hlckford as a rep resentative of his and that while he ( Clark ) knew nothing of Kctor's services , his policy waa to remunerate nil who served him. Probably the most Important witness of the day was H. II. Garr , n member of the legislature , who had voted for Mr. Clark for the senate , Ho Is ono of the men In whose name money was turned over to the elate. Gnrr said that while this money , $5,000 In $1,000 bills , had been shown to him by Whltcsldcs and ho had marked the envelope - volopo containing It , Whltealdes had not said anything .to him nbjut voting for Clark. ( The senate committee on privileges , leges nnd elections began Its ses sion In the Clark case today with a re quest from the prosecution to have the books of the Thomas Cruse Savings bank at Hel ena , Mont. , showing the deposits ot A. J. Davidson and a man named Toolc , brought before the committee. The original sub poena had only called for the deposit slips. The point was not decided. 10.j. . P. liclor , a dentist at Mlssoula , was the first , witness. Ho had participated In the campaign In Hnvnlll county In the Inter- cat of K. P. Wood , who was the democratic candidate for Iho legislature in the last campaign and who was a friend ot Mr. Clark. Ector said he had acled at the In stance of Mr. Dlckford , ono of Mr. Clark's managers. Letters from Hlckford were exI hlbllcd. In ono of these , wrltlcn after the legislative election , Ulckford referred to the presence of "our friend" lu Hamilton and asked Kctor to ascertain his financial con dition. Ector said "our friend" was Mr. Wcod nnd that he replied t this letter sayIng - Ing that his indebtedness was $ GJOO ! , and that $7,000 would probably be necessary to settle all his debts. Aflcrward'Blckford had given him $7,000 to give to Wood. Ho had then refused to accept the money , telling Ulckford It "was all off , " ns Wood had told I him that he could not afford to sell himself. j ! The witness said that Ulckford had prom ised to pay him for his services , but that no specific sum had been mentioned. "Ho asked me how much I expected , " said the witness , "and 1 told him I wanted all I could get out of It. I continued by saying , 'No doubt you will make a stake out ( of It. ' He asked me how 10 per cent would do. I said , 'That would bo satls- faclory , as I have no doubt you will get $20.000 or $25.000 out ot It.1 " \VouIil Ilciiiiiiiemtc HI * HelperH. It appeared that no settlement was made with him by Dlckford , and that Ector wrote to Senator'Clark nbout the * matter. .There , was a correspondence with 'hlnl beginning ! December 10-1S98 , > and closingNovember.8,1 1S99. These letters were read 10 show that , Blckford had been the agent of Clark In the senatorial race. In the first letter Clark , said that the matter concerning which-Mr.t Ector had written him had been left en tirely In the hands of Dlckford nnd that he would confer with that gentleman con cerning the matter. In the second letter , dated January 23 , 1S90 , Clark spoke of the fact that ho had Just been elected , saying Dlcktord was wild with Joy , adding that while he had no j personal knowledge ns to what he had | | done , he "never disappointed any ono who j j i had helped him. " This last statement was j ] practically repeated from Paris In April last , and In another letter written from Now York on November 8 last. In the New York letter Clark said ho would refer Ector's matter to Dickford and In the Paris letter he said It was his desire that "any ono who served him should be amply remunerated. " Flrnt DUlNloii of Committee. One of the letlcrs of the series was signed In typewriter anil the defence ob jected to HB admission. This objec'.lon broughl out the first division In the com mittee , Senators McComas and Caffery castIng - Ing the only votes against admission. CrosH-examlnatlon was poslponed until the defense should look up the lotlera re ceived from Eclor. Representative P. G. Sullivan , a member of the last Montana j legislature from Granite county , testified i that ho had been appioached by Dlckford I when ho went to Helena previous to the meeting of the leglslatuio and asked to vote for Clark , "I said , " the witness leHllfled , "lhat I might do BO If there was enough In It. Ho asked how much. 1 said $20,000. Ho then asked mo If half that nmoiint would not bo enough. I replied no , nnd we separated , " Sullivan said that nftcnuud ho had nga'.n ' met Dlekford and that the latter had sug gested $15,000. Ho had told Dlckford then that ho would not vote for Clark under any circumstances nnd had Been no moro of him. The crosa-ox , mlnatlon of Mr. Polmlcxter i did not develop anything ot Importance. j | State Senator M\crn was the next wit ness. Ho won ono uf lhi > membera who turned $10,000 over to the leglfalntive In vestigating committee , statins that It had been put up ' WhltosldCH * hands for him on condition tlwl ho vote for Clark for ncnator. T < -1 IN of TiiUInK the Money. Myers detailed not only the parllculnrs of his taking the money , but ilso other clrcmr-BtanceB leading up to thla cplsodo. Ho said that ho hid flr.it been approached after his election ns n ( senator by Dr. S. W. Mlnshnll and W. M. Dlckford nnd bin vote 1 for Clark requested. He had been told by those men that If he would agree to vote far Clark the latter would appoint him at torney In connection with his coal Interests at Drlilger. Ho oild ho hart tloHlned this olfcr. hut , notwlthoiandlng this , he had 10- ' cclvcd a letter fiom C. W. Clark , son of the senator , written from Dutto , Dec-mbcr II , ISPS. This letter was put In evidence. In It Clark Hinted that ho Imd forwarded to Dr. Mlnshall $ f > 00 ns n "retainer for bin services In the IJrldgcr coal mine. " Clark , Myers said , had afterward asked him not to road the letter before the Joint legUlatlvn assembly. Sullivan said his purpose had been to lend Dlckford on nnd that ho had not ox- ' pcoted to vote for Clark even If the olfer of 120,000 had been accepted. The wltnebs i tald that ho is now the proprietor of the j ! riorcnco hotel at Duttc , and the cross-ox- j amluatlon was devoted to gliowlug that this | hotel la owned largely by Marcus Only. The witness Jald he paid hln rent to a Mr. > HennUsey and did not know whether Daly was the owner. Ho ndmltte. ] that hU patronage wns largely from among ( ho min j ers of the Anaconda mine and counsel brought out the fact that vbeieas before the legislature met the w'tn-ii 1-ud been ' tbo proprietor of a saloon paying ISO a ' month , ho now pa > s $2 OtiQ a i > < : ith for ( ho Florence house. 1 Anthony Dougherty of Hcena ] proved to ' , be > the first witness who was apparently tin * ( willing to tcSllfy. Ho was called with the I view of show lag that he hqd allowed n friend named Gallagher to occupy for several days a room In the Drown block rented by him self , nnd that he had remained In the closet of the room nnd overheard a conversation between A. J. Slcelc and Representatives Gillette and Klynn concerning the senatorial election. Dougherty declared that he had not roma.lncd , .Iq the close1 ! nnd had heard no such conversation , answering only "yes" ! or "no" In reply to questions. He said lift j had let Gallagher take the r-om and had ' 'lived elsewhere whllo he occupied It , but that he had seen or heard no ono there. State Auditor I'olndextcr testified that A. J. Stcclo had promised to give him $50,000 to secure the voles of the three members of the legislature from Denver Head county torn I Clark , ho ( Polndexter ) to hn > e $3.000 for his ] services , but that he had never approached the members because he was opposed to Clark's election and had only agreed to see . them for him to prevent others acting In the capacity of go-between. The committee adjourned until 2 o'clock j ' before * the witness could be ciOgs-cxamlned. , | Thc last witness of the day was Henry I R.

He said ho had received the enoney from Whltesldes , the i I latter saying Wellcome could not see him then. The witness said that after the exposure In the legislature ho had been persuaded to see v\ . J. Steelc , when the latter , he said , had tried to persuade him firm to ] I vole for Clark , next to leave the state until 1 ! after the excitement over the senatorial race had subsided , nnd lastly to sign a statement denying his connection with the exposure nnd contradicting his own tcstl- ' mony before the legislative committee. In each case Stecle had asked him If there was I nny Inducement or consideration which J would secure his assent nnd he had replied | plied 'that ' there was not.

It went nshoro before dnybimk on Thursday , striking n ledge at the foot of tli. cliff , where escape VSOH hopeless. The en\\ launched the boats , but probtbly dining the panlo some were crushed against Its ai-ie * . others being swamped and nil the occupant * apparently perishing. The ship was seen to bo on tire by resi dents six miles away. Attracted to the scom * they found the after half of the wreck blav.- Ing fiercely nnd the forepart under water. Kerosene In the cargo helped the bKize. At that time only three men were loft on board. Two were on the bridge and ono was In the rigging. Tnoao on the brl Ige were safe until nbout 2 p. m. , when they were washed overboard and drowned , the hrlORC being carried away. \ The bitrvlvor soon after left the rigging , swam to Iho rocks and twice endeavored to get a footing. Falling In this he made hh way back to the rigging , where he died of exposure during the night. Mnny dead bodies nro visible tossing ou the surf. T o of them thrown up on u cove cannot be reached owing to the heavy sea. Ono of them Is thought to bo a woman. IiniiiiNillilo ( n Iti'iicli AVr < < ! . - . One of the boats and wreckage Is strewn along tbo coast for miles. Friday was moro Htormy than the day before and It was Im possible to reach the wreck , which has guno In pieces to such nn extent that It has sunk beneath the \vave-u. A severe gale Is raging tonlglu. which Is likely to i educe it to fr.igments. The wreck commissioner hopes to bo able to obtain Its name today ( Saturday ) . Resi dents along the shore made every possible effort 'to rescue the sutVlvor In the rig ging , but lacking proper oulflls they were unable to succeed. There Is not the slightest prospect that \ any HOU ! on board raenpcd death , ns the Intense midwinter cold would kill nny who escaped drowning.
