Hughes replied: "I have trica to
Mr. McCurdy an abundant oppor-
to tell everything he knows about

further."

Hughes Defends Course.
Hughes said the record would show.
2Xtreme courtesy and fairness wfth

lnd said:

Mr. Hughes concluded there was
applause, which Mr. Armstrong re-
id with a threat to clear tho room on
kurrence of such a manifestation of
n-al or disapproval.
McCurdy then spoke in a very com-
?ntary way of Mr. Hughes' conduct

I. McCurdy then made a personal ex-
itlon. He declared that he would re-
It as an asDcrsIon on his nKnnni
lity to suppose he would take ad-
lage of his official position to obtain
I ana lodging ior nimsen and family
per than anybody else. Mr. McCurdy
id that any of the sum of money, said
e $200,000, paid to Joseph C. Hendrlx
ho retired from wao presidency oi
the National Bank of Commerce, was paid
by the Mutual Late. The bank paid it,
he said.
Mr. McCurdy denied that money was
loaned to certain brokers below the mar
ket rate.
Plunkltt was next called. A vouchor1
acknowledging the receipt of $901 "for
legal expenses to February, 1SCC." which
was signed by the name of "George- J.
Plunkltt." and Indorsed for payment by
A, C. Fields, was shown to the witness
and he was asked If the signature was
his. He said It was not his. At tho re
quest of Mr. Hughes ho then wrote his
name for purposes of comparison, and
both signatures were offered In evidence.
Mr. Hughes called the attention of tho
committee to the similarity of the two
signatures. Plunkltt said that he had
never had $901 for any purpose. At the
close of Plunkltt's testimony the sergcant-at-arms
of ho executive committee was
directed to communicate with the Dis
trict Attorney's office. Shortly afterward
Assistant District Attorney Rand ap
peared, conferred with Mr. Armstrong and
left tho room.
Hogcrs Can't Remember.
Edgar W. Rogers, president of the Globe
Printing Company, was then called. Rog
ers testified that his position was nominal
and the business, of the Globe Printing
Company was carried on by L. W. Law
rence & Co., for whom he was also clerk.
Ho knew Plunkltt and his judgment was
that the signature to the voucher was
Plunkltt's. He never knew of Plunkltt's
taking money or rendering service to tho
Mutual Life.
A voucher of December, 1902, signed by
the witness, was acknowledged. It was
for tho payment of $1G67.S0 for legal ex
penses by the witness. Rogers said ho
must have received that money from tho
Mutual Life, but he had no recollection
of receiving, nor for what ho paid it.
Asked directly if he did pay out tho
money for legal services to anybody, ho
could not remember.
Mr. Hughes asked that the matter be
looked up and that the Mutual Life pro
duce the checks for $1667.50 receipted for
by Rogers and tho $901 receipted for by
"'Plunkltt-"
Legislators Guests of Mutual.
"William M. Carpenter, a clerk in tho
supply department of the Mutual Life,
was called and testified concerning Fields'
houses in Albany during the legislative
sessions. Carpenter having paid the rent
and other expenses. Carpenter said his
salary was $2500 a year and that he spent
tho entire time the Legislature was in
session in Albany. He acquainted him
self with bills and kept Mr. Fields ac
qualntcl with the progress of bills. He
met members of the Legislature and also
Andrew Hamilton.
The witness said he had seen Senator
Charles P. McClelland at the Madison
Avenue House, in fact, ho was a member
of the household In 1903. "Witness could
not say that McClelland had paid any
share of the expenses. Mr. Graney. he
said, was also a member of tho household
while he was in the Assembly and also
while he was In the Senate. "Witness be
lieved these men were there at Mr.
Fields' invitation, as they were neighbors
of Mr. Fields In Dobbs Ferry. Both of
these men. It was brought out, were mem
bers of the committee on insurance while
they resided In the house maintained by
money paid by the Mutual Life.
vMr. McCurdy was questioned concern
ing the relations of the Mutual Life to the
National Bank of Commerce and to tho
subsidiary companies and was still testi
fying when tho adjournment was taken
until tomorrow.
Frlcko Denies Ho Is Lobbyist.
NEW YORK, Oct. 18. W. A. Fricke
last night said that the $5000 payment
lo him by the Mutual Life was for legal
oervices rendered last year. He was In
surance Commissioner of Wisconsin from
1894 to 1S3S.
"Along in January, 1904," he said. "Mr.
Short, the general solocitor of the. Mutual
Life, offered me a retainer of $5000 to
cover consultation on several subjects in
litigation. The Legislature of Wisconsin.
-Isrinay add, was not In session at all that
year. ...
Mr.'Fricke said he was willlns to tell
the investigating committee Just what the
Mutual consulted him about. The con
sultations required advice on the Mutual
Life's action with regard to threje sep
arate matters, all either before courts or
likely to be some time.
McClelland Defends Himself.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 18. C. P. McClel
land, formerly New York State Senator,
but now a member of the Board of Gen
oral Appraisers of the United States Cus
toms Service, who was mentioned in the
New York insurance investigation as hav
ing been paid various sums by the Mutual
Company, said in an Interview hero today:
I never received a cent from the Mutual
Life Insurance Company while I was State
Senator: nor a cent from any other company.
I served that company as an attorney, and
any money which I received was in payment
for legal services. 1 never was asked to
influence legislation for any insurance com
pany and certainly was not paid for any
such service.

With His Relatives.
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Oct. 18. Late
this afternoon examination of the effects
of William Wilson, a stonecutter and mar
bleworkerwho died in destitute circum
stances tills morning, disclosed the fact
that $300,000 in cash on deposit in New

J. R. Wilson, who recently died in
Peru, was awaiting his claim. The
brother's will further bequeathed a third
Interest in steamships and other proper
ty, making the total value of the Inheri

cash from tho estate of another brother,
R. A. Wilson, late editor of the Belfast
Morning News, and a prominent writer of
Ireland, was awaiting the appearance of
William Wilson in New York.
Until he became ill, Wilson had been
employed for some time in a marble works
here. His employer sent him to the hos
pital and had him cared for during his
sicKness. some time ago Wilson told Mr.
Turner, his employer, that he had a mil
lionaire sister in New York, and a son
who is a prominent lawyer of that city.
He steadfastly refused, however, to jrive
their names, saying he had been tho
scapegoat of the family and did not want
tnem to Know of his present condition.
Wilson was an export workman at his
trade. Evidence of his wealth was dis
covered in letters which he had kept in
his trunk, and which urged him to go to
New York, where he had a brother in
addition to the son and sister.

EAST ST. LOUIS, I1L, Oct, IS. (Special.)
Claude EL Duvall, a former St. Louis
man. for whom detectives have been
looking on a charge of wife abandonment
and attempted bigamy in Portland, Or., Is
now living In this city.
Duvall admits that he was In Portland,
last Summer, but declares he was not
engaged to marry anyone. He claims to
have a suit pending for divorce on the
ground of incompatibility. He alleges that
a friend In New York intentionally let a
letter fall Into the hands of Mrs. Duvall,
telling of Duvall's approaching marriage,
for tho alleged purpose of decoying Mrs.
Duvall out of St. Louis. As soon, Duvall
says, as his wife reached Portland, ho
returned to East St. Louis.
Duvall denies that he ever received any
money from his wife, as she stated In
Portland. Sho was wealthy, he says, but
he always maintained the home as long
as they bad one.
Mrs. Claud Duvall, who is a handsome,
well-dressed woman, appeared at police
headquarters last Thursday and requested
tho aid' of detectives in finding her hus
band, who. she thought, was In Port
land. She said Duvall had deserted her
1n St. Louis. In reciting her troubles to
the police, sho said that her husband had
written to one of her friends in New York
saying that he waa in love with a Port
land girl and Intended marrying her as
soon as he was able to procure a divorce.
Mrs. Duvall came to Portland from St.
Louis to find the maiden who was to
marry her spouse, that sho might warn
her of her fate. Duvall was supposed to
have been in Portland at the time, em
ployed as a chauffeur? although In the
East he was a practicing physician. The
name ot the Portland girl whom he said
he was to marry was not learned by the
police.

Every instrument has been used just enough to demonstrate its worth
and wearing qualities. Every Piano is in perfect condition. Owing to the
great sacrifice in prices weN will require 10 per cent down on each sale.

installments.
