Moylan's Testimony at: an End. The Trip from the Timber to the Hill. A Choice Between Dejection en a Hill and Death in a Hollow. His Impressions of Maj. Reno, Surgeon ) Porter, Etc. Capt. De Rudio Correots the Error of a Correspondent. The Reno investigation was again takes up yesterday morning, Capt. Moylan’s direct ex- amination bring resumed at the polnt where Lieut. Lee left off Friday afternoon. He was asked what was done to ascertain the number of Indians in the timber bebind Reno’s position, and replied that he did not know, as Reno was there and he was pot. From the outside he could see some fifty or sixty Indians in there, but there might have been mauy more. A for- mation vould bave been made -with both flapks resting on the river, but he did not know low lomg it would have remained. The number of Reno's men was &0 small that they would bave bad to spread out in order to cover the ground. The Indians, at their left would have had the advantage over them from the fact of this spreading out, and from the fact that they were higher than the troops, &0 that, in short, such a position would have been ‘perfectly untenable. To put in an edfective line, Reno should have had” about double the number of men. It should -be re- ‘membered, however,.that one-fourth of his com- maund were korsc-holders, and allowance for them must be made founy estimate. When Reno was in the woods, there were probably no 1ess than 500 Indians in range, while in the val- ley there could not altogether have been less than 700, AS TO AMMUNITION, his own men had fifty rounds on their persons and fifty in their saddle-bags, according to Cus- ter’s order. Before leaviog the line quites number of his men had fired all the ammunition they had, and he sent them to the saddle-bags for more. During the forly minutes they were on foot there on the skirmish line they must bave fired between forty and fifty rounds per mao on the average. About two-thirdsof the firing was judicious. The object in Jeaving the timber was, he thought, to save the commaud. He took thirty-cight men into the fight, out of which pumber eleven were wounded. The losses of the other companies were, as he thought, about the same as his, although they might have been more. Lieut. Lee asked Capt. Moylan if it was not really a more dangerous undertaking to leave the timber than to stay there. N The auswer Was that, unless the command had been supported, he thought the most judicious course was to leave the timber if pos- sible; that, bad it staved there. thirty mioutes Tonger, he doubted if they would have gotten out with as many men as they actually did. By gaining the opposite side, he thought there would be'sn opportuuity for the command to receive aid. The command did not Jeave the timber because driven out of it, for they were not driven out. On the contrary, if they had stayed there they would bave been driven into it. Ou the whole, he thought it THE PART OF WISDOM TO LEAVE THE TIMBER. He didn’t remember hearing any bugle-call or trumpet-call on leaving the place. As to the formation of the command, Le could only eay that bis company was all formed with the ex- ception of the one wounded man in the woods and Lieut De Rudio, both of whom were left behind. Besides these, twelve men, as be subsequently learned, were left bebind who afterwards got out and reached the hill. The commwnuud, oo reaching the hill, was not totally demoraiized, neither was it very ex- ultant. it was in good enough coudition, he added, to enable itto throw outa very fair skirmish line 2 few mioutes after arriving there. His 1mpression was that quite o number of the men must have crossed before Reno id. from the fact that when he saw Reuo, after crossing, hewas standiog on the right bank, wailes number of men were some little distance up the bill. The timber was lower than the village, so that Reno would bave overshot the villace from his nosition in the timber, and could really have doue it no barm. He bad no reason to coubt the Indians’ statements that the village was one of 1,800 lodges and 400 wickiups—wigwams occupicd by men withont families. The village, from Reno's position on - the bill, was out of range. He had understood that Custer was to have supported Rewno, and his own opinfon was that Custer's column was on the trail ie the rear of Reno’s column and was coming Up to support bim. After reaching the top of the bill—about an hour afterwards—be heard firing in the dirce- tion of wnat was afterwards ascertained to be Custer’s battlefield. He called Capt. Me- Dougal’s attention to it, and the latter repfied that be thought it was Custer attacking the Ingians at the other end of the village. It was volley firing, but evidently very famt. 1t was about an bour from the time of separating from Custer until the union of Reno aud Benteen on the nll. _Benteen could have gotten across the river to Reno in the timber, if his force was suflicient. The first dead bodies witness found } in the vicinity of the watering-place B were about, bail a inile off from -that point. He saw very little evidences of lighting near the river, but farther back the evidences were con- clusive. The body of Col. Calhoun, bis brotherin-law, was ono of a_ company of those who bnd fallen together in regu- lar line. Around onc of these bodics he observed twenty-cigbt cartridge-shells. Some of the soidiers bad evidently vaiply tried to cross the river, for their finger-marks and boot- marks were scen on the bank. There were no evidences of fightiug ot the watering-place © B, althourh there were evidences that a lot of povies bad recently crossed. «Now," said Lieut. Lec, “please state your opiuion as to THE CONDUCT OF 3(4J. RENO on the 5th and 26th of June, 1876, with refer- ence to covluess, efficiency, eucray, and courage as commaudiug otlicer of the troops. Was it such as to inspire bis command with confidence and courage, or the reverse? Give the facts on which your upinion is based.” “}{a. Reno," replied Capt. Moylan, *“during the advauce through the bottom rode at the head of the columb. After the column was formed into line, he was in frout of the line,— invariably in front, but sometimes to the right, sometimes in the ceatre, and sometimes to the left, according to circumstances. All his orders ich I received in the timber, cither at that time or afterwards, were given as coolly as a man under the circumatances usually could give them, and 1saw nothing that would indicate cowardice about him.” “\"er)'y\\‘l:ll,” contioued the Recorder, *‘take the hill.” “ Dering the afterpoon of the 25th,” ‘replied Capt. Moylan, “be recmed perfectly cool to me, Isaw but very little of him ou the 26ih. Orders were_unnecessary then. We Were in pusition, and had nothivg to do but to hold it.” “Did you sec him_frequently on the 25th, i life.” after going on to the hill?? w Frcqugml_\', and sfter dark on the 25th I lay down by Iis side part of the time. He was Iying on his blaukets and I was lying next to hiw and talking witd him.”* This closed the direct. Mr. Gilbert then entered upon the cross-ex- amination, asking witness to describe the move- ments after recetving the order from Custer up to the time of crossing at ford “A.” Hedid so, pretty much as he did on the direct, and in ~ response to further questions snid that Reno was alwavs at the head of the column, and he (the witness) riding near bim. He ¢id not remember seemg Girard or anybody else spesking to Reno just before crossing. After crossing,.they moved on at the same gait. There wasa manin his_(Moyian's) company whose horse was very restive. Reno told him to hold his horse in, as he would give him work enough after awhiie. Witness kuew DE. POKTER, and had heard him say once or twice that he was pretty badly scared. * In fact, added the Csptain, **I think Iheard him say on one oc- casion that ke Fas neger go stared before in his [Lavehter.] He didn’t koow about Porter’s being by the side of a wounded man in {he timber, but he 3id know that Porter was by t ! his (witness’) side, and that be (witness) wasn wounded. [Laughter.] * Did Maj. Reno betray any evidence of cow- ardice during the period of time you saw him in the timber " psked Mr, Gilbert. * No, sir.” responded Capt. Moylan. * There was a certdin amount of excitément that was visible in his face as in every one's elsc under the circumstances, but as (o any trace of cowardice 1 failed to discover jt.” “What would have been the result to the command if he had continued to charge down that valley? . *1 thiuk if he had continned to do it and bad Eone on far enougli, he would have been there yet.” [Luughter.] . “'State whether the purpose of leaving the Hmber was not to save the command I 1 tiung that was the purpose.” “Wuat, in your judement, would have besa the result, under the circomstances, if the com- mand had remaived in the tiuber{ ? “Well, in my judgment, 1 think the com- mand, without ‘assistance, would bave been an- nihilated in the timbetr, *Questions have been asked you with refer- ence to what would have taken place if COL. BENTEEN'S COLUMN had joined Maj. Reno’s column, and the pack- train bad come up. Was not Maj. Reno unable to form an estimate of what the effect of the union of those commands would have been upon himsell unless he had known thut they had been ordered to join himi" I think s0." ‘Witness was then asked as to where he bad first seen the Indians while in the Dottoms, the dust-clouds, the impossioility of sceing through that dust the number of lodges, etc., and re- plied much as he did on the dircet. When asked s to the propricty of the movement from the timber and Reno’s position during that move- ment, he replied that_it would be very proper for & commanding officer to kuow the hature of the country ahead, but it was equally as proper and equally ns necessary for bim to know what was goiug ou in the rear. He badn’t_heard of an impression on the part of anybody at the time thut the movement from the timber was what might be called a triumpbant march exagtly. |Laughter). | A'great deal having beea’said by some of the witngsses about the command reaching the hill -in adejected und demoralized condition, Mr. Gilbert asked the Captain il he wouldn’t rather be dejected on the bill-top than dead in the timber. ) *I would very much prefer being dejected anywhere thao dead in the timber,” was the re- ply [Laucnter.] ‘Conumuing, he said he had heard Reno giving orders on the 25th, but had scen nothing like cowardice on that officer’s part. Alter reaching the hill there was really very little necessity for orders, and everything moved on like clock- work. He was not aware that it was a fact that 2 communder was responsible for the bebavior, the brayery, or want of bravery, of his men. On the hill he saw more of. Beuteen than any- Dody clse, and Benteen's conduct was simply superb. Nothing short ‘of that would ex- ress ft. Y “ And Maj. Reno made special mentionof it, aid he not ¥ ashed Mr. Gilbert. “Yes, sir,”” was the reply. “ And deservedly?? “I think 0. ‘“State whether, from the indications as you §8W them of THE COMPANY UNDER CALHOUN, there was any evidence of making a sudden re- sistance to the ludians like that which was found in the circle where Licut.-Col. Custer lav.” #Tgaw none. Those men that I before men- tioned as baving been killeu in this ditch had evidently been fighting, but there wus mno evi- dence of it. 'There was very little evidence that they had retreated or were falling back at regu- lar jutervals. But such evidence as existed about Calhoun’s company existed nowhere else that I saw.”” *Were Calhoun’s men in that position in which men ought to have been, or would nat- urally have been,—I will not say *ought to have been,’ because there cannot be anything said about Licat.-Col. Custer’s soldierly quali- ties,—if there bad_been resistance, according to the rules of military sciencet ™ ““Yes, sir.? Licut. Lee began the redirect by asking Capt. Moylan HOW DE. PORTER DID HIS DUTT. “In a superb mabner, Mr. Recorder,” was the Captain’s reply. Mr. Gilbert interposed that he had no charge to make as to Mr. Yorter. ‘He bad a great deal to witness, “and be did it well. “You said,” continued Licut. Lee, that, Dr. Porter said to you that he was never 8o scared in his life. Wasn’t that exeitement general?” ] think so. When Dr. Porter made that re- mark be made it in a Iaughiog, jokiog way, and may not have meont what he said. 1t was made several manths—probably a year—after- ward, so that he didu’t realize, perhaps, what he said.” “You do not mean that the fact of a man's being frizhiened jmplics that he is a coward”? +No, sir; not at all.” + Didn’t Maj. Reno und everyone else present the appearance of being frighiened 1 rather think they were all a little bit shaken up.” [Laughter.] “ Mej. Reno’s commnud devloyed as ekir- misbers. Would the sight of that indicate toa cominund ou the opposite side of the river any great or particular danger?” A command passig over the frail, seefng another command deploying as skirmisters in the bottom—certainly this command woulde't imagine that they were in any particular danger or airaid of avything.’* «If Gen. Custer bad been there and seen that deployment, would it have led him to thirk that the command Was going to retreat intwenty or forty minutesi” +No; I think Gen. Custer would think that the commuand would liold its positiou there.” “You suid that everythius went on like clock- work on_the hill. Was that after Col.

Youhave stated, I belicre, that you would rather be dejected in any place than dend in the timber?”? Mr. Gilbert objected on the eround thatno evidence had been aduced to show thut any dis- honor attached to Capt. Moylan’s being on the hill. e did not senously press the .objection, however, and it was about as ood as_apparent that the Court, the Recorder, and Mr. Gilbert himself, would just assoon hear the witpess express himself on thispoint as not. Re did. “Of course,” said he, “* I would rather be on the hill than to be dead in the timber.” “But,” continued Lict. Lee, “if you belicved your duts as a soldier required von to remain fn that timber, what would vou rather do—remain and die, or e discredited in golng away from it?" “1Vell, I don’t know that that is hardly o proper question to put to me,” replied the wit- niess, as if mowmentarily resenting the barest im- plication againsy his couraec. «Of course,” said the Recorder, “ I have my own personal conviction on that point. Your character as a soldier is too well known to leave any room for doubts as to your coadoet. I merely nsk the question for the purpose of bay- it and Your answer put on record.” “ Yery few men,” replicd Capt. Moylan, “ but would prefer to be deud in-ihe timber than be left on the hill and discredited.”. “That's just what 1 waot,” said the Recorder. “Wasn't the pround where Gen. Custer was found,” asked the Recorder after a pause, “sucn that the company could have made aregular formationt” ot at that portion of the field whichI passed over.” i, ‘he command mirht have been fighting with all bravery and courage, and still the formation and shape of their bodies wouldn’t exactly indi- cate that ¥ Cyes May not the dead bodies of the men or the TuGians have been thrown into the river by the Inaians, if any mea Were killeo there?” “ That may have occarred, but I doubt if §t did ocear.” “ “Did you feel discredited,” asked Mr. Gllbert.l on the re-cross, “when you veached the top of the hill?"? “pid I “Yes.” 3 © Not particularly 60, replicd the witness with bis usual dry humor. % Now, auother thinz. If Maj. Reno, with the cominand deployed in skirmish line, was seen by a column passing down oa the right side of the river, would that Dot indicate two things: First, that the enemy was not fleeing; and, sec- ond, that the cavalrymen were not charging?” It would indicate both to my mind.” Lieut. Lee—Isn’t theadvance often ascertained by the ficeing of the skirmishers? “Capt. Moylan—It becomes necessary at times even when they are fleeing, though that may be ounly for a purpose. . Mr. Gilbert—That isn't the way cavalrymen charge, though? Cept. Moylan—No, sir. This closed Capt. Moylan'’s testimony, and fi”"’ continued the the Court adjourned tiil 11 o'clock Monday morning. 4 ; CAPT. DE BODIO. Among the officers of the Seventh Cavalry, now in this city as a witness in the Reno inguiry, is Lieut. C. C. De Rudio. This officer was st |, tached to Maj. Reno’s battalion on the oceasion of the fight with the SiouX Indians on the mem- | orable 25th of June, 187G. Sfuce his arrival in Chicago Lieut. De Rudio, although urged repeatedly” to make some state- ment to the daily Dress concerning bis partictpation fn that fizht, and the vitally interestine matters which fell under his obeer- vation on timt day, has studiously and persist- ently 1efraived from so doing, stating that such evidence as he may have wust be reserved for the time when e sball be J)l:u:cu upon the stand aud officially interrogated in tic presence ot_the oflivers composing the Board of Inquiry. “There is one thing, bowever, wiich Lient. De Rudio feels it bhis duty to state in_brief, and In conversation with a ‘reporter of THE TRIBUNE yesterday be said: ’ . “Since reaching Chicago it has been brought to my notice that on the day I left Bismarck, Dakota, a telezram was sent to the press of Chicago and St. Paul, and published by several papers in those cities, Which doesme great injustice. That dispaten Was certainly con- ceived In great ignorance of my positjon regard- ing the Custer battie—in a vertain measure— and has served to-place mein a false position. Tt was written wituout my knowledee, and, Fcrunns, while not conceived maliciously, at enst deimonstrates great Izorance on the part of the writer. In thisdispateh I ind the follow- ing expression: Reno's nosition fo the wood De Rudio considered impreunabie, and nothing but fear could bave prompted bis retreat, which resulled in so many cing killed and wounded, —more than was fost on tae biufls during the whole fight, “Now, while 1did ask Maj. Reno himself, a few days after the tight, if it would not have Dbeen better to bave remained in the timber, I bave never said that I Lelieved that nothingr but lear could have prompted the retreat.

Ever since Thave repeatcdly stated, and I take this oceasion 10 say aguin, that 1 saw Maj. Reuo often on that day from the moment of the charge up to the time ot the fizht in the ti ber, and never fora moment did | witness any- thing in his actions indicative of pusiilanimity or that betrayed in the slightest a symptom of fear.

Examination of Specithens from A. C. Hesing's Mines. Prof. A. A. Lambert Bears Testimony to Their Great Richness, To the Editor of The Tribune. Cnicago, Jan. 25.—0f late years so many fraudulent reports have been spread far and wide about the ricbness and the immense har- vest of gold and silver mines that there exist *‘a priori” a certaio kind of suspicion, not to say aowaright prejudice, in the miuds of most peo- ple against any statements that might be made in favor of any undertaking regarding the work- ing of mines. This, indeed, is a fact but too true and too lamentable; and it is much to be regretted that reports of the kind often bar the progress of undertakings that are well worthy of all possible patronage and all possible sup- port. Tam well aware of this fact, and it is therefore with the greatest caution and only after a close examination that 1 send these few lines to your widely-circulated paper for the good of the public. More than 8 week ago I was invited by ove of my friends to examine several specimens of silver ore, and to express my opinion on them. ‘These specimens are in thic: posscssion of Mr. A. C. Hesing, who brought them from Arizons. Betore 1 express my opinion, and that of Prof. Shulack, who kindly vofuntcered to assist me in the esamingtion, 1 must state that I do not know the extentof the mines from which these specimens have been taken, nor whether the whole vein is as rich as the specimens exam- ined, though the formation und nature of the specimens seet to warrant that conclusion. ‘o make sure, huwever, of bis, before writing this articie 1 called upon twoof my friends, whoare well yersed in mincralogy, and who have tray- eled through Arizona, aud visited these very mines about which there is question, Forat t 10 Mr. Hesing's oflice I found bim very enthusiastic, und I thought thew perhaps too much go, aud this puc me on my guard, lest e might bave overrated the value of those mines. ‘Ihese friends of mine assured me that the vein was very extensive and equally rich, and that the description I gave of the specithens which I had examined would equally apply to the rest of the mines. Let e add that tlicse gentlemen haveno sharesin the miues. The specimens which I exsmined carefully are of three differ- cot kinds: 1. ‘Tle silver glance or sulphuret of silver. 2. The chloride of silver; and 3. The {reesilver. All of these are of the richest kind + which has ever been found; and I must confess that, iu my opinion, one specimen of silver glance is the largest and purest that I ever saw. Itis most_compact and solid, and was taken from the “Julins Mine.”” 1t is well known by every chemist that this ore is very easily reduced, asa common gus jet will chase off the sulphur, 1t contamns at, least 87 per cent of pure silver. The ore is §o rich and compact that it cannot be crushed, but cav be placed at once into the fur- nace, ‘To say 1t in one word, the 3pecimens are solid pieces of silver glance. ‘I'bose of the second kind are chloride silver; these also are perfectly pure, if we except a trace of copper. The coloride silver, as is also well known, s veryeasily reduced to pure metallic silver, and contains 75 per cent of the pure metal. Many of the chloride specimens are associated with free silver, evidently by GAMBLING. Meeting of the Special Committee in Supt. Seavey's Case. He Hes Gone as Far as Is Safe Under Judge MeAllister's Decision. Allegation that Bogus Letters of Com- plaint Were Written by M. C. Hickey. The S8pecial Committee appointed by the Council to find out if the gambling-houses are open, held 1 sesslon yesterday afternoon, the three Aldermen—Cullerton, Phelps, and Waldo —being present. Seated fn. the consultation- room of the Buperintendent of Police they talked in 20 informal way for fifteen or twenty minutes, awaiting the arrival of Supt. Scavey, who had been called away by busiaess. 1n reply to a question by a TRIBUXE reporter, Ald. Cullerton said the object in view was not the suppression of gambling, but simply to find out if the bouses were open. He had asked Supt. Seavey about it, and had been told that they were all runping. SUPT. BEAVEY finally came in, and said, without any hesita- tion, that he already made himself liable, and, until there was o law to protect his men, he could not ask them to go to the front. Kellogg had heen indicted, but Capt. Hood's orders were mot to break in the doorsof his house. He, however, did so, and got the cvidence to indict. Judge McAllister bad held that Mrs, McDonald would have been justified if she had killed ell the officers who made the rmd on Mike's place. He (Seavey) would not order an- other. door broken open until he was assured.of protection. He biad corried the present law fur- ther thea any one,—had tsken many chances, broken up all the tools he got possession of, sent disguised men into the places; but it had been decided that be had no business to do this. 1f he could be told how to get in without break- ing the doors, he would get in. Aid. Phelps said if men were FURNISHED MONEY to buck the tiger they could get evidence. Supt. Seavey asked where the money was to come from. If he had funds he could send offi- cers or mén in to play, and have them swear. out warrants. But he had no money to use fa that way. He couldu’t be expected to put his hand fu his own pocket. Under the decisions of Judge McAllister he had no more right to enter a ramblinz-house by violence than he had to enter a private residence. Ald. Cullerton did not think gambling could be stopped fn Chicago. Ald. Phelps said it could be made private. Supt. Seavey remarked that a complaint had not been made 1o bim_avout gambling for three or four months; nor had one about bunko or confidence men for two months. Referrinx to the man who had complained to Ald. Culierton, out of which complaint grew the lnvestizating Committee, he said if the man was a law-abid- jng citizen it was his duty to come to the front and prosceute the gamblers who bad robbed ‘him of nis money. Ald. Cullerton said the man was not a gam- bler, but a business man. He had not given his right name in the Council. “Ald. Phelps wanted to know why a man who went nto a zambling-house and staked money fras ot @ gambler. Ald. Cutierton intimated that men drank too much eometimes. Supt. Seavey said the special detail went from_house to house, but before they were al- lowed to enter sufficient time elapsed to put away the tools. Ald. Pheips sugzested that an officer be sta- tioned at_ the door of every bouse to take the names of those wha go in. This was not regarded as practicable, becausc the rooms of gamblers ara in bufldings occupied by other puople, decent and indecent, and it would be easy enough to hoodwink the guard. Besides, it was asked, of what value would be the vames when secured. A man cunnot be prosecuted for going into a gambling-house. Supt. Seavey bad threatened to da this, if the doors vere not opened as 000 as the detéctives While this ranning conversation was going on, = ALD.

You keep this matter to your Sclf and you will ind all is true, Supt. Seavey asked to look at this, and when it was handed to him he smiled and said he knew the handwriting,—that now he knew who was trying to make trouble for him. Calting in his clerk, Mr. Brennan, he asked, “Do you know whose handwriting that is#* Mr. Brennan looked at the letter s moment and replied, 3. €. TICKEY's.” This produced a sensation. The Aldermen were astonished. *Couldn’t there bea mis- take?” Dr. Ward was called fn, and said the writfog was Hickey’s, and then vroduced some of the records of the department, and Hickey’s writing in them was compared with the chirography of the letter, and the conclusion was that both ‘had having been decomposed. Finally, the third kind of specimens s that of {free silve Oune of these, which I was assured is a fair sample of thousands in the mines, is a fair specimen of arborescent_shape, perfectly pure. I aiso found traces of rold, and one speeimen contnined 8 considerable amount of frec gold. As the result of my own investiga- tion, I consider the project of working these mines fully worthy of the attention and co-op- eration of “all parties intercsted in such under- takings. Pror. A. A.

We, the andersigned, residents ana business mea of 1be City of Chicazo, have Jenrned with apprehen- sion that another remoyal of the Post-Otlice here is coutemplated by your Departmeat, and s such residents and busincss men desite fo remonstrate against such removal. During the Jast few years thia city has been so harassed by the disturbing and derangement of the accustomed channels and courses of businees, that notning is 2o jmportant now us that all these things may e settled as nearly a6 possible in the way in which they are perma- nenly io remain, Formote than twenty years the Post-Oflice of this city hos been fixed on Dearborn Btrect, and near the spot \hich it “has lately occu~ pied in tne Honore Buildings: and its permanent place for the futurc Is but 8 few feet removed on the same strcet. These considerations determined the selection of that place and of the future Jocu~ tion of the Post-Oilice; 8nd we think that the pub- lic interests require that this settled position of that oflice should not be temporarily broken up.

The reporter did not catch the exact Janzuage, but understood Supt. Seavey 10 say he would not go out of office as *‘rotten” as Hickey did. What is to be done now, in view of the al- Teged discovery that Hickey i3 the writer of letters of complaint, it i3 difficalt to tell. The Aldermen nidpn’r. say, 'though they seemed pleased at what had ‘taken place, adjourning until Monday afternoon. 1t should be stated that Ald. Phelps had lit- tle faith in the communication, since he was unable to find Mr. “Bohen.” 'As for the wo- man, she also is said to be & myth, swce the zamblers -know of no such person, she does ot appear in the directory, and two detectives who bave scarched for several days could not get any trace of her. It was stated that the only attempt at disguise that Hickey made was to use & stub pen fostead of a sharp-pointed one, for which he always had a preference. The language of a police oflicial was: *‘It is the tninnest thing ever seen; and to come from a man as smart as Hickey!" CHATTEL MORTGAGES. Mr. Fraok F. Cole, a money-lender doing business in Room No. 4 Reaper Block, was ar- rested yesterday on a capias issued by the Sher- Jff at the instance of Mrs. Hattie M. Hamilton. The charge was one of trespass, and the circam- stances under which the action is brought give the case a peculiar interest. The advice of the worldly-wise Polonius to his son, “Neither a borrower nor a lender be,” may be all very sound as applied to books, stew-pans, a bowl of sugar, or & scuttleful of coal, but some occa- sions do arise when one is driven to borrow, and that, too, at @ great eacriice of persopal pride and social comfort. The money-lender stands ready to accommodate the uwary, and it is only those who have had the bittér - ex- perience of knowing what a loan from 2 pro- fessional money-lender occasionally means who will be able to” sympathize with- the complain- ant in the present case. Mrs. Hamilton is the widow of a soldier who was in the Unfon army, and abe fived in a three- story and basement bkense oo Eldridge court, last. she applied o M, supporting hersell by keeping boarders. Her statement is as folfows: On the 15th of July last. Mr. Cole for a loan of 3300 for six montas, agrecing to pay interest at the rete of 5 per cent 2 moath. To secure the payment “of this shc gave a chattel morteage on ber furniture, which was valued “at about $7,000. For the first three mouths she paid her interest in coupon notes of $25 cach, and then, acting on the advice of o friend, who bad told her that the exaction of such enortnous fnterest was unlawful, she de- clived to pay Mr. Cole the fourth, fitth, and sixth installments. On the 14th of Jauuary, the dzy Lefore the mortrage expired ana her notes tell due. Mrs. Hamilton tendered to Cole, through Mr. J. T. McCord, the full amount of the principal, with leral interest thercon ag the rate ¢f 10 per ceat. Mr. Cole declined to receive it without the full amount, .as orginally agreed upon. Mrs. Hamilton sought advice from her attorney, Mr. Charles 8. Cameron, who recommended her to 20 Lome, and again tender Cole the money. * Dow't al- 10% him to coter your house,” he said, * und seo that you have wituesses with you when you tender.the money.” Mrs. Hemilton went home, but only to find that every bit of furniture had beea ripped out of the Liouse, jammed into ex- press wagons, and carted to the furniture storc of Hale Brothers. -The house was taken . possession of by ten men, and. the ouly -thing lefi -was one bed on which lay-a lady, Mrs. Crittenden, in the pangs of childbirth. “The shoelk to this lady was such_that yesterday her pbysicians had given up hopes of Lier recovers. Alrs, Hamilggn was compclled to seek refuge in a neichbor’s house, her home was broken up, her boarders scattered, and ber furmiture, the accumulation of several years, damaged to far more than the extent of the loan upon {t. A writ of replevin was at once issued, but when the Deputy Sherill made the demand it was re- fused, and so the matter rested until yes- terday, when o warrant was issued for the arrest of Cole. " Mrs. Hamiiton’s friends are naturally indiemant at the cruel manner in which she claims to .bave been treated, and several well-Koown titizens. have proffercd her their services as bondsmen.- The case will come be- fore the Circuit Court.
