Turning from this Mr. heney began
his attentions to Senator Fulton. Ha
said tnat soma urns ago senator Fulton
had imbllshed a letter demanding that
Mr. Honey make good certain charges
hs had made against the senator or re
tract his statements. He told tha audi
ence be did not know whether he would
make good or not, but that hs believed
Fulton would be in the same fix. when
ne baa finished with him, as tha man
who had been cauaht in a railroad
wreck, woo said be was not hurt much,
but darned badly twisted. The sneaJter
said ne mtenaea to twist uiton a lit
tle an waa coins' to deal In facta, then
if Fulton was not satisfied ha would ba
aoie to give still more facts which were
contained In a package of documents

"Now what did he dor' Henev asked.
delving down Into his documents. "Well,
we will start back, in order to give him
Jgood running, to 187; and mark you,

bring ths name of John It Mitchell Into

is no longer living; but hs was a publio

and It is impossible to tell tha story
and make It intelligent without naming
him, and, therefore. 1 will name him
without any squeamishness. That hold

The speaker- then turned to the dis

and believed that the land was growing

cause it was common rumor that ha was

handling the money, and J was told to
go there. Before going there I had
learned that McNary and Farrell had

and Fulton wanted to pay ua only $5 or

a day each, but he refused to pay that
much, and finally paid me either $5 or
18 a day for myself and for each of the

The speaker then read an affidavit
signed by J. S. Smith, an assistant war
der! at the penitentiary, In which Smith
made damaging statements regarding
Fulton's deals in tba legislature durlnsr

progressed to the point where the read

Fulton rushed out from tha house
into the lobby and approached me In a
hurried manner, Folton said to- me.

answered, Going in wbaier, Fulton
said. 'Into the session this morning.' I
replied. -Not on your life.' Fulton then
exclaimed, Tou give back .that money
then? I said, 'I -will never give back a
cent of it," Fulton then became threat
ening In his manned and gesticulated
forcibly, . He said, In quite a loud tone.
'Then look out for yourself personally.'
Fultonts manner waa such that it at
tracted the attention of a number of
legislators and others in the lobby
(among them being -Walter Lyons, af
terwards private secretary of. Governor
T; T. Geer and now editor of the Inde
pendence, Oregon. Enterprise, and H. L.

was gathering and began to retreat to
