Show CLM TO M DEFENSE Washington, Jan. 31. Under an agreement, between counsel on the two sides in the Clark case, the senate committee com-mittee on privileges and elections today adjourned until Friday next, when the defense will begin its presentation of the case. Mr. Campbell, speaking for the remonstrants, re-monstrants, said he had but two more witnesses to call, to complete the presentation pre-sentation against Mr. Clark, and one was in the city. He preferred to examine exam-ine the two together, and for this reason rea-son was willing to "rest" with the understanding un-derstanding that the two men should be called later. To date thirty-seven witnesses have been summoned in behalf of Senator Clark, , including those whose names have been mentioned by the witnesses for the prosecution as being connected with any efforts at bribery in Mr. Clark's behalf. The committee "has not allowed the defense to call men whose names have been merely incidentally brought into the controversy, but has1 asked that only those be sent for against ;,whom positive charges have been made. On this account, only three members of the legislature have so far been summoned. Thev are Messrs. Cullen, Joaquett and Bywater. It is understood under-stood Senator Clark will himself take the stand. |
