Jnn. 13. LulRl Crlspl , son of Slg-
nor Francesco Crlapl , the dlFtlngulshed Ital
ian Btutesninn nnd former premier , was to
day sentenced to four years' Imprisonment
for the theft of Jewelry from , the Countess
Collerc In April of 1S9G.
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 !
'were made use ol to' support scandalous '
charges against Crlspl. Young Lulgl was I
locked Vp In o 'houso . .of 'correction. " ' ' " j
When the Countess Gcllcre accused Lulgi
bo retorted with a chargeof blackmailing.
.Ultlma'ely kleptomania was offered as an ex
cuse for him.

WASHINGTON , Jan. 12. 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. Oarr , a member of the legislature from i
Plathead county , 'Montana. ' He Is ono of j '
the members ot the legislature In whose ,
name money was turned over to the legls- |
latlve Investigating board by Whltcsldes nnd
I ' ' the only ono of them who afterword voted
for Clark for the senate.

Referring to his transaction with White-
sides the witness said WhltcsUes had been
a wntm supporter ot his and ho had lis
tened respectfully when Whltcaldcs had j
asked ' him to go to bin roam and had compiled '
with his request when Whltesldcs had re
quested him to mark for Identification an
envelope contnlutng $ G,000 In $1,000 bills ,
He said ho had only agreed to Whllesldes'
proposition to acccp ; $10,000 from Welli
come for the exposing of what ho believed
-was efforts at bribery. 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 Is strange how people will try to In

ST. JOHNS , N. P. . Jan. 13. 1 a. m. Tin'
following comprise all the details rc , iiMiiiK
the wreck In St. Mnry's bay that could b
obtained tip to midnight :
The ship Is a two-masted steamer ot
nearly 3,000 , tons and probably carrle 1 n
crew of sixty , with possibly some passen
gers. 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.
A messenger , who has Just arrived from
Pcteis river , reports that n 'trunk ' filled
with n womnn'g clothing has been washed
nshoro there , together with a garment
which Is cither a waterproof cape or a
man's overcoat. Nearby was found some
underwear , evidently n man's , mniKed with
the Initials "J. J. " This seems to indi
cate that the ship had passengers.
