The Herald and News does not
know anything about the facts in the
testimony of Mr. C. C. Davis before
the investigating committee aid it is
not Our purpose to discuss it, but it
does seeml) Ito be but justice to tIe
Newberrv delegatilol to say that the
inference that may he drawnl fromi
Mr. Davis' testimony that they were
bought is scarcely borne out by the
facts. Mr. Evans being fron their
own coulity it is but. natural that
they should vote for him and that
lie should expect their vote. There
would therefor-e he no reasonl for
him to bily tlmTll evel if he were in]
the business (of hiuying votes an(d
they were purclasable, neither of
whieh we believe. ie would hard
lY undertake to purchase that of
which Ie was already assured.
We thinlk it ilt proper to eall at-i
tention to this phase if it both in
justic,e to the Newherry delegation
and to Mr. Evans. Thai the mei
hers of the Newherry delegation
were boiu-iI does not seem reason
able.

''I woriked under Mr. Ashibridge for

''But one thing he always insisted
on. That was implicit obedience to

that, and nothing else, was what you

''I once tried to impr'ove on an or

I had been sent on I did better, as
I thought, than I had been told to

''He said thant there was a young
man in love wvith a rich and beautiful
girl. The girl informed him one af

the next morning a bouquet of roses,
one rose for each year.
''So that night he wrote a note to
his florist, ordering the immediate de

"..'ENOUN ...S DETECTIVE
SAYS HE TOOK'ADVANTA 'Or
SOOIAL VISIT.
Swears to Remark of Dr. Earle;ade
While On Social Visit to His
House-Dr. 1arle and Mr.
Deal Objects.
The senational incident in the dis
11en1sary investigation, says the Re
revolt of tle committee's own of
ficial stenographer at the unigentle
manly conduct of Representative Ly
on and his detective, Mr. Klingen
berg, in dragging before the commit
tee a private conversation that there
that there was nothing in, made at a
whist party in the presence of a.par
ty of guests at Dr. Earle's home.
The stenographer. Capt. A. M.
Deal, well known throughout the
state, and who has been prominent
inl social affairs here for several
years, denlounced tle detective, whom
Ie had introduced at Dr. Earle's
home. as "a dirty. sneaking, spy"
for " going to a gentleman's home
in the capacity of a gentleman an(
acting as a detective.'' and lie would
apolo.ize for taking him into the
presence of ladies and gentlemen.'
And in the succeeding breath, shak
ing his finger at Representative Ly
on, who was a guest at Dr. Earle's
and at Mr. G. R. Remberts', told
him that brining out such matters in
the circumstances did not square
with his ideas of what constituted a
gentleman, if it did with Mr. Lyon's.
Mr. Lyon several times attempt
ed to suppress Mr. Deal. hut failed.
and even the committee quieted him
only after repeated efforts.
Mr. Lyon defended himself by ask
inI Mr. Deal if lie did not know Mr.
Klingenberger's business when lie
escorted him to Dr. Earle's home.
"Yes. I did; but I took him there
as a gentleman, and not as t spy,'
was the hot reply.
Mr. Kliiienber- is a Western man
of apparently limited opportunities
in such matters. and his conduet iz
not so great a surprise as that of Mr.
Lyon, who was bred a gentleman.
The tilt started on the -heels of ,the
testimony of ex-Mayor Earle, who
was indignant at tihe turn affaits
took, though lie did not hesitate -to
answer questions.
"Doctor, do you ever recall that
yoi ever made a statement that one
of these dispensers told you tfhat
there was a good deal of moiey in
the biusinless-that there was $6.000
oil the side. hut that he had to rive
ip $2.0(0 of it to tle state hoard
f ct ontril. and Some other pa1t of it
to t le oun1t1y board of coli rol ?
I d l not remember any such
thin mg as thait."
'' Il 'in 't you kiinow t hat yo'u made
that stat'ieent 7'
'I do not. I emphalilticamlly deny it.
''oui are sure ot that ?' '
" Youn have hea;rdl what i said."'
"lon' t youm remiemiber mnakinLr that
staltemenit't. and goinig furthier and1( say
ing who thme party was. that that "'as
aiiothier piarty?''
"No, I do niot.'
"So iiow. doctor yon say that you
know absolutely nothing about it 7''
"Absolutecly not hing. I might
have spioniken at times about vague
rumors, or' somethiung like that. but
peirsonally I know absolutely no'th
in g.'
'Well, doctor, you know we are
looking for graft 7"
"'I know that, and if there was
ally way I could assist yoti I would
be glad to do it. I believe that every
grafter ought to be ptunished, aiid I
have said so generally. I know noth
ing but vague rumors, aiid I do not
know the parties who nmade them,
and I would not feel like repeating
them.''
"Who did y'ou make that state
ment to, to Mr. D)eal and Mr. Klin
genberg?''
''No, siir. T did not. I was talking
about the invest igatingeommit tee and
miadle some1 staitemenit about vague rum
mors that I eaniiot recall.''
''Then you say that you have
not made a statement iln the presence
of these twvo gentlemeii that would
indicate that a dispenser got graft,
and that lie had had to give some of
it. up to thiosit woboairds, or toeither
of those board, or. to some person
for those bors
''Do you want me to repeat that
again9"
"Yes, sir.',
"All right, once more I say no.''
''And you deiiy utterly aiid ahosl
tutely that you made any such state
ment that any dispensai'y officem' or
enmploye made aniy statement to you

d at Dr. Earle's home did affect
,because, unfortunately, I had
?n the unwitting means of taking
'Klingenberg to Dr. Earle's home,
d my first concern, naturally, was
to whatever may have taken p)lace
Dr. Earle's home. I trust that
ur question is answered."
"Now, Mr. Deal, were you and
.Earle just a moment ago stand
e over there talking about the con
rsation, that you and lie and Mr.
ingeniberg were supposed to have
d in his house, or were you talk
r about one some where else?"
"When I -saw Dr. Earle here this
)rning he said to me that lie did
t know what the committee want
with him. I immediately thought
obably Mr. Klingenbecrg had had
a1 summoned .because o,f the fact
rut lie had given voice to these rU
irs that he had heard at the time
e. Klingenberg and myself were
ests in Dr. Earle's home."
"WVell, now, Mr. Deal, wereC you
king about the conversation, which
ui suppose took place with Mr.
ingenberg in his house?''
"Yes, sir; we were talking about
at conversation, and about the oth
conversation we had at Mr. Rien
rt's, I think, and lie said somec
ing also, I d'o not remember jiust
nt a bout having a conversation
thi you."
"So then, Mr. Deal, as I uder
md, you and Dr. Earle had in
slity discussed ini this conversa-~
in a few minutes ago, just before
i Earle went ~n the stand, the
