House Lobby Committee Startled by
Disclosures Made in Testimony of
J. H. McMichaels, Dismissed Page,
Who Says Representative From
Illinois Threw Him Down.
In a dramatic statement, J. H. Mc-
MicLiaels, dismissed chief page of the
House of Representatives, Saturday
night presented to the House lobby
investigating committee a sweeping
charge of corruption against Repre
sentative James E. McDermott, of Il
linois, for years his sponsor. With
intense earnestness McMichaels, in
picturesque language, corroborated
the allegations of M. M. Mulhall
against McDermott and made addi
tional charges, at times shocking the
committee and spectators with out
burnt.- of profanity and slang.
The uitio'ss declared that for years
I bad exert' d every effort to support

MURDERER PAROLED
BY BLEASE AFTER SERYINC LESS

KILLED A WHITE MAN
After waiting forty-two years for
the body of her father, who was one
of a party lost in a storm while
climbing the Alps, the long vigil of
Miss Edith Randall, of Boston, may
end this year. Summer after sum
mer Miss Randall has journeyed to
Chamonix, Switzerland, to w'atch the
giant glacier slowly creep down the
valley from Mont Blanc, hoping
against hope that the mighty moun
tain of ice would deliver the body of
her father, John Randall.
The guides and scientists are ex
pecting the giant glacier to deliver its
dead this year. The rate of progres
sion of glaciers has been observed
for many years, and, according to the
calculations of the scientists, the
bodies held in ice for more than forty
years should reach the valley late
this summer.
On August 1S70. two Ameri
cans, one Scotchman and eight guhjes
started the ascent of Mont Blanc
Tin* weather was threatening and
they were warned not to go up. but
they thought that it would clear up.

eight days and nights. Not one of

stretched on the floor the dead body
of a woman who had given the name
of Mrs. George S. Nance of Macon,
Ga. Her skull was fractured in sev

came to the hotel with her, was ar
rested in a room three doors from
that of the woman, and told the po
lice of a sensational story of killing
his wife after they had engaged in a
struggle.
According to the report given by
the police, Nance said that his wife
had told him she knew she was
crazy, and that she was also Insane
“and would stop at nothing.” They
struggled and he seized the beer
bottle and fractured her skull, then
h»* poured kerosene over her clothing
and the furniture and set lire to the
room.
After the coroner's jury had re

“I>ri»e Devil Away” by anbbtag
Her to Death.
Religious fanatics participated In a
bloody tragedy near Avigon, Franca,
recently, in which a young girl, sup
posed to have ‘been possessed of a
devil, was murdered. Her father,
mother, brother and 'sister are under
arrest, pending an inveBjgaiiun.
They are accused of the 'piilo.
Their arrest was brought about by
a priest to whom the brother and sis
ter confessed they had succeeded in
driving Satan away. He suspected
what had happened, informed the po
lice and caused the arrest of the en
tire family, including a grandmother,
aged eighty years.
The eldest daughter of the French
family became the victim of the
bloody orgy at the Avignon home.
She asserted she was possessed by
Satan Every day she had new tales
to t'-ll about the demon whose power
she believed herself to be in. The
other members of the family, exeept-
ng the grandmother, were so work
ed up over the statements that at last
they believed h'T. .
The climax came one noon when
the entire family was In the house.
The girl lay down on the floor and be
gan crxing “Go away. Satan’ Go
away Satan “' Suddenly her brother
and sister Join»*<l their father and
mother In the performance and all
< r|e«f all ud. ' [w-mon. go away'"
The grandmother tried to comfort
th»*m but th«y tied h**r to a chair
Th»*n they »"ught clubs and beat th*
girl s head up until It was an unr*r-
ognliahle n.aaa Then they began to

McMichaels told at length of mak
ing trips to various pawnbrokers In
Washington to secure money either
for McDermott or himself
' McDermott told me." he said,
“that the pawnbrokers had raised
110,000 to fight the loan shark bill
and later he told me he got $7,000
out of it. When I asked him why he
didn't pay me what he owed me with
a part of it, he said, ‘My God, man, I
had to pay it on debts and I still owe
$9,000.’ ”
The witness said that he, McDer
mott and Mulhall, after conferring at
the Capitol, would adjourn to a din
ing room in a small hotel, near the
Capitol, for “extended sessions”. He
described the room provided in the
Capitol for the conferences as a
“good place to sleep off drunks”.
“How would you or McDermott
know about the other having money
after these conferences?” said Chair
man Garrett.
“We’d just smile at each other,”
he said. “Both of us was careful not
to let the other know about how
much money we had. If Mulhall
gave me two bills I’d hide the larger
one and flash the smaller one, be
cause every lime I flashed anything
over two dollars he copped half of It.
He would go to the cashier and give
him his money and draw two ddllars
and come back to where I was. He’d

Thre** days later " va ! the x»it
r.»*es, MrD.*rmott told Mulhall that
he had seen the leaders ami that they
advised against Hie Introduction of
the resolution McDermott lied about
that. He hadn't seen the leaders “
“How do you know he lied"" asked
Chairman Garrett.
"Why he'd rather lie than eat,"
said McMichaels
The chairman had some difficulty
in restoring order tn the committee
room after this outburst.
From the fall of 1 909 until Jan
uary, 1912, McMichaels said he was
almost constantly on tho pay-roll of
successively Democratic chief page of
the House, attendant in the House
press gallery and elevator conductor
in the Capitol. He told of introduc
ing Mulhall to Representative James
E. McDermott, of Illinois, for whom
be worked as a kind of secretary, and
said that McDermott worked with
Mulhall and provided the latter with
a rob min the basement of the Capi
tol, where McDermott, McMichaels
and Mulhall conferred.
“Did you ever .see any money pass
between Mulhall and McDermott?”
asked Chalrmana Garrett.
“I never saw any money actually
pass between them,” said the witness,
leaning back in his chair and pausing
to puff at his cigarette. “But I had
reason to believe that plenty of it was
passing. I got mine open and abow
board.”
“Why do you say you had reason
to believe money was passing?”
The witness leaned forward and
pounded on the committee table: “1
am not a fool.” he continued. “When
two guys like me and McDermott sit
dox»n to a table and the two of ua
ain't got a penny, and a third guy
comes in and we have eats and drinks
and get up with the dough. 1 know
that dough don't grow on tr*es. or on

Cotton Worm in Greenville.
Reports have been received from
Greenville of the invasion of a small
worm, which is said to be devouring
• the cotton bolls. Large fields have
been affected, it is said, and the far
mers are much perplexed. They say
they have never seen anything of this
nature before, and declare that un
less the ravages of the worm are
checked the cotton in the lower sec
tion of the county will be seriously
damaged. The worm, it is said,
bores into the boll and subsists upon
the cotton lint.
