Gamey did not recollect what he said in Buffalo, but he might have said this. Three of the reporters who inter viewed UGamey, in Buffalo, were then called and swore that he had said he collected the $900 on the island and that it was not part of the $3,000 re- ceived from Stratton. G. W. Verral, liveryman, was called to show what carriages he had sent to the parliament buildings on those September days. . A. Jones, Beeton, an uncle of Gamey's wife, was called by the com- missioners and examined by Mr. John- ston. He swore that before the general election Gamey told him he would give the government an independent support in June told him that Ross was sure to be premier, Whitne was a back number and he, himself, did not propose to sit in opposition four years. Gamey said something about pat he went to , see Smith, the liberal organizer, about it. Jones gave a direct denial to any knowledge of any relations between the government. He never knew Frank Sullivan in the matter until the statement was made in the house, He no authority from Stratton or any other member »f the government to deal with Gamey or any other member. Tn another comver- sation Gamey told him he would get information for protests in the Soo and Algoma if he was well paid for it. He said "acting manager," in his let ter to Gamey, referred to Alex. Smith. "We casi cougke a good haul," meant that he and Gamey expected to get franchises from the government. Gamey was to get these franchises and wit- ness was to operate them and they would divide the profits, Smythe, of Algoma, was expected to assist them in getting these franchises. Jones said he consulted Alex. Smith as to the Iogality of paying Gamey to get evi dence to open up Algoma, the Soo, and His own constituency. He, him- self, also promised to get Gamey railway passes. During ali this time the government knew nothing of his dealings with Gamey. He was acting on his own initiative, They were to- gether to make money out of timber and mining deals. In eross-examination by Mr. Blake, Jones said he spoke to Alex. Smith, in August, about the patronage. He could give no definite date as to when he spoke to Gamey about the protest, When he spoke to Smith about pal , railway passes - and protests, the latter answered directly and not after consultation with any one. Court then adjourned for lunch. Mr. McPherson snd Mr. Price have made an examination of Hon. J. R.

The Happy Parents Are Certain That She is Their Long-Lost Daughter--Mother Dreamed of Her Three Times. _ Baltimore, Md., May. 14.--Three sub- uent dreams, alike in every essen tial 'detail, have helped to convince Mr. and Mrs. Jasper W. Clark, of No. 513 East M mers, treet, thet, fn . i | the person of Miss Ethel Clark they Bl ar i Save od a daughter who was kid- prouvght to sapped by a tramp eighteen years thirty 'com. | ago. The young woman is also posi sie that | she has found her Jarents, jookey Barty, ridinz . Clark attributes the return of : y aidise in. the her daughter and her identification to dreams and to a novens which Ro- man Catholic nuns offered to Saint Anthony, of Padua, for the return to her parents of the stolen girl. : "You see, it was this way," said Mrs. Clark. "A few nuns called here the Friday previous to last Good Fri- day and asked for alms. I gave them a small sum of money and asked them to pray that my daughter be restor- ed to me. This they promised to do. One of them assured me that if the girl was alive she would be revealed to me. Soon afterward, Marion Am- ade--that is my daughter's right name--appeared to me in a dream, wearing precisely the same dress, hat, gloves and every article of attire and looked for all the world as she ' ap- peared when she walked into my house last Thursday. 1 knew 'then that she was alive, This belief was confirmed when I saw her in a dream on two subsequent ocoasions, when she also wore the identical clothes which she had on last Thursday. "The moment she came in the door threw up my hands and asked, 'Marion, are you coming before me' just as I dreamed of you.' "The poor child immediately told me that she felt she was at home and the resemblance which she bears to me and to the other members of my family, taken with the dreams and her own recollection of where we liv- ed when she was kidnapped, leave no room for doubt that she is my lost daughter." Miss Clark says she was raised in an orphan asylum in Washington and came here three years ago .to take a position in a shirt factory. A month ago she learned that Mrs. Clark was looking for her daughtér and she call- ed upon her. She cannot explain how she retained her name. MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE.
