Statement In Detail.
Mr. Nledrlnghaus stated that he contrib
uted $1,800 to the campaign fund. Then, on
being asked if he had afiy staternent- to
make to the committee in reference to
contribution of f-'l,000. Mr. Nledrlnghaus,
still under oath, made a voluntary state
ment. In substance as follows:
A few days before the visit of Senator
Fairbanks to St. Louis It was found that
the liabilities of the state committee were
about HI. 000 with practically no money in
the bank. I was personally responsible
to the persons with whom the debta had
been contracted. I spoke of the matter
to the chairman of the executive commit
tee who said: "You are a fool for assum
ing this responsibility."
I replied: "So convinced am I of the
possibilities of carrying Missouri with suf
ficient funds that I would go any length
before I will stop the campaign at this
point."
About this time Senator Fairbanks came
to St. Louis and on the request of Mr.
Adolphus Dusch, who is a personal frltnd
of tiie senator, a dinner was arranged nt
Mr. Rusch's house, at which were former
Senator Mason of Illinois, Congressman
Bartholdt of St. Louis, V. S. Dickey, Otto
Sllfel, Senator Fairbanks and myself.
Ksnenses Are Guaranteed.
During the dinner 1 explained that I
had been refused contributions by prom
inent republicans and stated: "If I had
fis.oof) 1 would guarantee that the stute
of Missouri would cast lis electoral vote
for ltoosevelt and Fairbanks."
Mr. itusch then said: "I am willing to
Join with yourself and Mr. Stlfcl to guar
antee this ow. 1 will assume half that
amount if you and Mr. Stlfel will assume
the other half."
I Immediately announced that I assumed
my share and Mr. Stlfel agreed.
it was slated, however, that we slfnuld
make one more appeal to the national com
mittee for 25.0w, and if, at any time we
should be fortunate enough to rerelva this
sum that this guarantee should .be re
turned to the guarantors.
In reply to a question, Mr.' Nledrlnghaus
stated that he was under no obligation of
any kind on account of this guarantee to
use any influence whatever to effect legla-
! latlon before the assembly of Missouri. '
! Mr. Nledrlnghaus further explained that
' the deficiency of $31,000 was reduced to
000 by collections, and that the latter
amount was taken oare of in accordance,
' with the agreement 'between him, llusclt
' and Stlfel.
Mr. Nledrlnghaus stated to the commit
tee that he did not consider the W.000
pledged by Busch, Stlfel and himself In the
light of a contribution to the stale cam
paign fund, as had the money been later
, secured from other sources It would have
(been refunded to them.' Mr. Nledrlnghaus
also stated that if. the republicans had
tailed to carry Missouri for Roosevelt and
Fairbanks that he would have been per-
' onally responsible for half the sums sub
scribed. ( JEFFERSON CITT. Mo., Jan. IS.-The
senate today adopted a resolution by Sena'
tor Clarke of Kansas City, giving the com-;
j mittee now In St. Louis power to Investigate
the campaign contributions of both political
parties. It a as adopted by a full vote of
the senate. .

SHERIDAN. Wyo., Jan. 13 (Special.)
Edwin J. Lewis died of strangulation Sun
day night at Dayton, a small town inland
from Sheridan about twenty miles. Mr.
Lewis was 51 yeurs old and an old pioneer
of tins slate, coming Into this region In
liTG. He has served in the United States
army and was In several engagements with
Indians, and ut one time received a severe
wound In the leg. He leaves a wife and
three children to mourn his untimely death.
The circumstances relative to his death
are very peculiar. On January 3 he was
employed at Monarch and was to work in
the coal mines there for the Wyoming
Coal Mining company. Saturday morning,
while working on ihe chute, he was struck
on the head by a small fragment of coal
which fell from the tipple above. His left
arm dropped immediately and thinking It
was broken he made his way to the doctor's
ortice. On careful examination the doctor
found not even the slightest sign of an In
Jury. An examination of Ihe head dis
closed a very small swelling Just over the
right ear. There was no cut on the scalp,
only a slight scratch; no fracture of the
skull, nothing to Indicate that a serious In
jury hud been rei-elved at that place. Dr.
Ho!rr.e gave it as his opinion that the blow
upon the head had given a shock to the
arm area of the right brain and thus causeit
the paralysis of the left arm, It being
known that the nerve fibers cross in pass
ing down tu the spinal cord. Mr. Lewis
afterward walked H full half in It to his
horic, where soon after he began to feel
the 'ftri't of the small swelling. He soon
relapsed lulu ait unci nsciou state, evl

worst associations of criminals which ex
isted for the purpose of robbing this man
and ierhHps killing him,"
Mr. Braham's counsel Insisted upon nn
Immediate examination by th court, but
Justice Oaynor refused to do so, and or
dered Duke to be committed to a sani
tarium until January lfl, when he will be
examined as to his sanity.
As the proceedings wen about to adjourn
Nicoll requested that Mr. Duke be trans
ferred from Sandford Hall, where he hus
been held for several days to the Long
Island home. Mr. Nicoll represented that
Dr. Brown of Sandford Hall was about to
depart for the south and would not be
here to take part In the proceedings. This
renuest was granted by Justice (Jaynor and
thu proceeding was iios"d.
During the argument, of course, the :tl
torney for Mr. Hramham declared that Mr.
Duke's son, who had instituted the pro
ceedings which resulted in Mr. Duke's com
mittment, was on Iwd terms with his
father aud had been excluded from his
father's home for several years.
Mr. Duke was not on the stund. nor did
he offer any statement during the proceed
ings. He sat quietly by the lawyers and
appeared palo and nervous. Ills wife wus
not in the courtroom. An attempt was
made to question Mr. Duke as he entered
the carriage to go to the sanitarium, but
the physicians prevented it. As the car
