Spectat Dispute to ‘Lhe Chter.s Tribunes New York, Oct. 27,—The juan who wrote the bogus Garfield letter,,Zenward Philp, was arrested to-day and arratgned for matl- etous Mbel. ‘That this event would occur Iwas clearly set forth In Tun. Trinvne of Monday and ‘Tuesday last, fn advance of any other publication in the United "States, Your dispatches, published “Monday and ‘Tuesday, on the Chinese letter forgery, were Dased on the reports of experts who, on com- paring the manuscript of Kenward Philp, one of the editors of the Truth, reported to John I, Davenport that Philp was the forger. On Sunday afternoon four exports, not knowing Phily’s name and neither ono knowing that the others were at work nt ft, but all haying befere them Philp’s man- useript, reported unanimously that the author of a certain editorial artlele published In Zruth and headed, “GARFIELD'S DEATH-WARRANT,”” was the forger of tho Chinese ietter: ‘Thoy had before them the edltorlal fn diferent shects,—that fg, each expert had portions of the copy of that ciitorial, ‘Chey detected not only'a similarity between this manuscript and Garfield’s, but they detected also Gar- field’s nome tn four places so closely similar tothe name In tho alleged Garfield letter that there could bo no doubt that the author of the editorial was tho writer of the letter, Three of them came to the con- eluston: that there was no forgery, and that the author of the famous letter could not be hetd under ony known law, for the reason that the signature to the Chineso letter Is y NOT “GARFIELD,” DUT “GAIFULD.” It iselaimed by experts employed by Truth thatthe Identity of Garfletd iy so firmly fm- pressed on tho letter that there can be no doubt of its authontieltvy, But the testimony of Ames, who igs quoted by Raueh as the best expert in the country, fs that tho letter is a forgery, and thatthe dotting of tha “r'? Instend of the “41 Is 80 manifestly tho’ work of a man to save himself that he would bo willing, on that fact alone, If he had none other, to fasten tho gullt on the man who wrote the editorial on which Philp was arrested to-day, In the manuserlpt of the oditorial, which Philp con- fesses he wrote, the name of Garfleld ts used, and “THE DOT 18 OVER THE “Ty” and, bealdes that, the whole nano {s such & close imitation of thesignature to the Chinese letter that Mr. Ames mado tho remark, and was substantinted by Mr, Payne, another ex- pert algo at work on tho case, that the writer of that word coulit be convicted of the for- gory on that word alone, ‘They found also all the characters of the Garfield totterin Philp's handwriting, and, comparing thei, arrived atthe unanimous conclusion that Philp was the author of the letter, At about this tine TROURLE ANOBE as to the charge that ahould be made against Pallp. John f Davenport at first insisted on forgery, but the trouble with the Repub- dean party in New York is that it fs cursed with lawyers, ‘The point was made by the legal advisers that the forger could not be held for forgory.. ‘They claimed that, while the moral evidence of the man's guilt was complete, under the eireumstances he could not be held, and that, if any actlon was taken agalnst him for the forgery, the prosecution would fall, THOMAS ¥, LONENGAN, the detective who worked up tho case and furnished tho evidence, contended that the only safety In the premises lay in the estab- lishment of tho forgery, and thata charge of alesser nature falled to accomptish the ob- ject. He admitted that Philp might be pun- Ishod = for = Nbel, but clalmed that such action . would. be the’ ruln of the party, because it was & quasi-confesslon that the party’could not disprove the authenticity of the lotter, Ilo was met by the argument that ft was iinpoa- sible to carry the gullt home to Philp. ‘to this he responded that, if the exports’ report was correct, it fastened. the guilt of the Jet- ter as closuly as It fastened the authorship of the Nbelous editorial. TO-DAY Philp was arreged for nullatans Ubal. the charge being based on the editorial headed “Gartield’s | Warrant.” LATE ON TUESDAY NIGHT, when the atidavits liad been drawn, Mr. Bliss went before Judge Noah Davis, and, upon fis deposition ant” those of several well-known experts, a warrant was Issued for Philp’s arrest for having “falsely, wickedly, and maliciously write ten and published of and’ concerning one Jrumes A. Garfield, @ certain erlininal Nbel.”” ‘This warrant was given to OMeer Thomas Stuart, of the Twenty-ninth Pre- einet. Yesterday morning Philp was found infront of the Park Theatre, Brooklyn, and Was srrested and taken fo police head- quarters in thiseity, At #220 o'elock he was taken to the ofics of the District-Attorney, trrned over to Detective Fleld, and detained in one of the rootns In the Distriet-Attorny's office. ‘The office of Mr. Bell, the Assistant- District-Attorney, was ina few moments oc- enpied bya number of promntient Repub- licans, and, after some consultation In the office, at 8245, TIE PRISONER was taken Into the Supreme Court Chambers, The court-room was half full of spectators when Judge Davis entered. At the table for counsel there appeared a3 prosecutor Mr, Bell, accompanted by Mr, Stoughton, Mr. George Bilss, Mr. Henry E. Knox, Mr. John J. Davenport, and Mr. Joel 8. Er- hardt. The prisoner, Philp, sat at one end of -the long tnble, attended by his entnsel, Mr. Charles W, Brooks, ex-Judze Weeder, of Brouklyn, and Roger A. Pryor. When Mr: Bell began to read the affidavits Mr. Pryor objected, and stated that Philp was rendy to plead. ‘The Judge ruled that they mlght be read, when Pryor again in- terrupted, saying they proposed to waive ex- aintnatton and go before the Grand Jury at once, and have a speedy trial. ‘THE AFFIDAVITS OF THE EXPERTS were read, first coming that of George Bilss, one of the attorney's, of New York, and who made up the case. After traversing the fact of the publication of the forged let- ter and editorinis Hbeling Gen. Garfield, he said he had caused an Investigation to be made as to the authership of the forzed let- ter and of the article upon it, and ascertained. that the proprietors and managers of the pa- per had caused SEVERAL HUNDRED THOUSAND COPIES of the papers containing the articles and the forged letter to be issued. “After o careful examination,” sald Mr, Bliss, 1 arm ted to belleve, and do belleve, and I therefore charge, that said Ietter was written ‘and = forged =o by =o person named Kenward = Philp, one ‘of ie editors of or writers for said newspaper, and that, having forged sald letter, he wrote and caused. to be published in said paper tho ‘artlele re- ferring thereto.” Ie further stated that the article reflecting upon Gen. Garfield was a false, minlicions, and wicked libel, and that the article was Intended to assert the genuineness of the writing, which Philp knew to be fraudulent. Mr. Bliss, after showing that the libel wus versisted in, went on to say that, subsequent to the publication, the proprietor, as he was Informed and be- Ieved, ENTERED INTO SOME AGREEMENT WITH THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONA'T COMSITTEE or sume members thereof, by which it was arranged that large numbers of salt forged letters should be efreulated, and to that end, since the knowledg¢ of the denial of its au- thenticity by sald Garfield, “have deliv- ered or intrasted to said Committee the said forged letter - for : the pur- pose of having tho same. «opled aud. photographed, or lHthographed, and that the sald Committee have caused many hundred thousand copies of sald forged let- ter to be circulated In various forms, both In the English and German language." The affidavits of J. E. Paine, A. F, Southworth, and Daniel ‘T,, Ames, TUE EXPERTS, were unanimous In fastening upon Phitp «> the writer of the Chinese letter, An a tempt was made to secure the discharge of the prisoner on tho ground that the evidence his detention. Gen. Stoughton said that “The Hbclons article, standing alone with out reference to the forged letter, without proof of any letter written by Gen. Gartield,” was “ undoubtedly a wicked. and criminal libel.” JUDGE DAVIS BATD the affidavits presanted two charges, elther of whieh, if made out, wold be ground for holding the accused for trial, ‘The first was that on letter, purporting to be writ- ten by Gen, Garfield, had been forged by the neeused, and uttered, and ‘published’ ‘The character of the letter was sucli as to beeome libelous If false, beeause it tended to bring disgrace and odium on the writer, If trae, it would justly bo of serious Injury to the writer, Another point was .that after the al- leged writer of the original letter had = denounced «ft a3) 8 forgery, the accused, In an_ article in which he an- was “a Har,” thus holding him up to odlum and contempt. This wag n Ibel, unless the letter were true, Under tho law, ifa news- paper alleges that o eltizen Isa Hur, the act of publishing {8 a libel unless the party pub- lishing it {g able to prove his statement. THE ACCUSED MUST DEFEND TISSELE by showing the truth of this letter. ‘The ac- cused, after Gen, Garfiuld had declared tho letter false in every respeet, published the dcclyration that Gen, Garfield, In making that tlental, was a Har. ‘That amounted to to put this cuse in mation had been shown by tho allidavits. ‘Tho prisoner was held in $5,000 ball to appear to-morrow morning, BEFORE THE BAR. TUE CHANGE, New Yonk, Oct. 87-1140 p. m.—Phillp was arrested Inthe lobby of the Park Theatre, Brooklyn, while In conversation with ex- Shorlif!

Roger A. Pryor, ex-Surrogate Vee der, and Hows and Hummel, retained by the defense, ‘The nature of the consultation was not made known, WAITING FOR THE JUDGE, A few mluutes before 3 o’clock Philp was taken to the Keneral-torm room of the Su- prome Court, where the arrival of Judge Dayls fy now awalted.

TUE PRIGONER ARRAIGNED, New Yonk, Oct. 15 p. me—dudge Davis opencil court at 6 o’elock, and Mr. Bell atited that he desired to make return to a warrant issued for the arrest of one Ken. ward Philp, who was charged with having published a ertininal libel on James A. Gar field. Mr, Bell was proceeding to rend the afitdavits on which the. warrant was ob- talned, but Me. Pryor objected, and thedudge dectded to allow them to be read, ‘The first was made by Col. George Bliss, and Mr. Bell had hardly commenced when he was again interrupted by Gen. Pryor, who stated that his client waived examination and desired to have the matter presented speedily to the Grand Jury, so that an early trial could be had. He was ready to try the case to-morrow, and under those eireune stances [ft was not proper to read nfidavits, "The churgoof criminal fbel, Mr, Stoughton explained, was in order to guard agninstany possible diMculty in sustaining the simple charge of forgery. Philp appeared very noneliniant when arrested, and, when a friend asked him what was the matter, he replied, *L believe fam ARKESTED FOR — FONGING 'REAUTIFUT. snow,” The evidence against Philp consists in part of expert testimony as te the forzed letter, but it 1s understoon papers containing writ- ing of the same character, ng that of the “forged letter have been secured, AFTEM SOME ANGUMENT. District-Attorney Bell read an naMfidavit of Col. George BMss, who testified he had ex- amined the fae-shnile copy of the letter with others itt his possession from Gen, Gartleld, and declared St a forgery; that he compared the photograph copy of the letter. with the writings of the necused, and on Information ond belle? thought Philp was the author of the letter. Aftidavits sworn, to by Joseph E. Payne ant Albert F. Southworth, experts in handwriting, were read, and were of similar purport. Attached to the attidavits was. the original copy in the handwriting of the ae. cused of the artlete published In the Truth. A motion was then made to have the war- rant distnissea, on the ground that the al- davits were not strong enough to support it. THE MOTION WAS DENIED 3 by Judge Davis, who held that the publiea- tlon of nn article after Its authenticity was dented, which tended to bring odium on the supposed author, was erlininal tHbel, ‘The examination was adjourned until 11 o'cloek to-morraw morning, Philp furnishing $5,000 bail to aupear. Gen. Pryor, counsel for Phitp, demanded a speedy trinl, As the crowd was leaving the court-roam, three cheers for Hancock were called for and given, The person who start- ed the ery could not becuught, though Judge Davis ordered his arrest, THE EXPERTS, THEIR EVIDENCE, New Yonk, Oct. 27,—At the examination of Kenward Philp to-day on the charge of having forged the Garileld letter, Joseph E. Taine, expertof handwriting for thirty years; Albert F. Southworth, expert for more than twenty years; and Daniel T, Ames, expert. for twenty-five years, all. testified that, after careful examination, in thelr belief the letter was: unquestionibly a forgery, and that It was written and signed by Kenward Philp. DISSATISVACTION. LONERGAS’S OPINION, Spectat Dupatch to The'Chicaga Tribune, New York, Oct. 28—2 o..n1.—Lonegan {s thoroughly disgusted with the way in which tho ease has. been manneed, and at one time to-day threatened to take" the ease away from Davenport, tha Com- mittee, and all, and carry ft through on the basis of a forgery. It may not help the Republican party any'to relate that the managers Jn New York have madea blunder, As indicated In former dispatches, there Is not tne utmost harmony between the National and the State “Comu:ittees, and itisto this Inek of friendship that the finsco fs ta bo attributed. Tt was claimed fo-day that tho arrest of Philp would do away with the effect of the bogus letter, but the troubles whieh have cul- minated in the charge of malicious Ibel against n Presidential candidate willdo more harm than had no action been taken. It seems strange that under the elreninstances some agreement could not have been: ef- fected. ‘There ean be no possible doubt that the esperts lave deteeted tha forger, and there must be some protection even for a polltician ayalnst such an outrage, “THREE BEERS,” PHILP'S SESS OF POTTAGE. Speeiat Dispatch to The Chteaga Tribune, New York, Oct. 27—Philp is a unatural master of the pen. Not long ago he wrote from memory [Taneock’s letter of ncceptance, vith signature attached, and, then offered to pore a bet that he would write a letter from Tarfleld thateould notbe detected, and which “would: ralse hell in the country.” ‘The het was three glasses of beer, and It was pald Tuesday afternoon, When first accused of writng the letter, Philp made the remark, that his only regret. was that he had been accused of putting Demoeratic spelling Into a Republican document. Hu never denied the forgery until threatened with proceed- ings, and then stated he didn’t write the letter, because he wasn’t sure where his ball was coming from, AMONG PUILY’S COMPANIONS thore is not a donbtof his guilt, but his Democrntle friends contend that it was only a joke, and that ho really dida’t mean any thing by it, Acbet was made in New York to-tay that on Wednesday next Philp would confess, He belleves nothing can be done with him, ond to-night sald that, if S, B. Chittenden had lls $5,000 reward ready, ho (Philp) was prepared to collect it. ‘The sub- stance of the wholy business Is this; Philp forged tho letter aud does not hesitate to say that hy 13 prepared to take tho consequences, ,—— USED TO IT. PREVIOUS SLIPS OF PHILP'S PEN, Bpectat Dispatch to The Chicago Trioune, New. Youk, Oct, %—The Tribune says: “It is said that this is not the first thne thot Philp has — tried Ilys hand = at forgery, although in the previous case, he did not get into the courts,’ In the Kings County Demo- cratic.

It was not until this morning that the New York papers gave any hint thatan: Investigation ‘was In progress, or that any. arrest was contemplated, They hind an ins, timation on Tuesday trouble brewing for somebody, but even the most enterprising of the dallies could not run the matter down, which had that there was! alreatly been published in Chicago thirty-six - hours before. ‘The Democratic papers to- morrow purpose publishing afidavits from Lynn, Mass., and elsewhere to show that’ Morey lived there In 18738 They have not the decency, now that the case is proven against them, to acknowledge the existing documentary evidence. BY TELEGRAPIL BANNUM'S LATEST LIE: Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, San Francisco, Oct. 27.—-Chatrman Bar . num, of the Natlona!l Democratic Committee, with an enterprise worthy a Vetter cause, has © flooded the Pacific Coast to-night with a paid document of rbout 2,000 words which he has addressed to something like a dozen news- papers, {ueluding, itis understood, some of - the Enstern press. He starts out with the remarkuble asseveration that tha New York Truth to-day has made good its promise to prove that Garfield did write the Chinese lets * ter, and that he lied when he repudiated it. Me then proceeds with much clreumlocution to set hls own private word against the testl- mony of experts and against the irresistible array of facts: showing that there wns no: Morey, no Employers’ Union, no stamp like that used on the Morey letter, no possible chance that the letter was ever written, mall- ed, or delivered, and divides his nsseverations into four heads: First, that Garfeld’s hand- writing has been indentified as the snine as that In the Truth letter; second, that Morey . had an Identity; third, that the Union did exist; fourth, that the postmarx was genu- ine. He declares that the establishment of either one of these propositfons would brealc Gartield’s defense, and that Trufh hag estab- shed all of them. - Ife sets threo experts up (whose names, by the way, have never been heard in this fair Innd) to disprove the testi- mony of half the bankers of New York as to the fuentity-of the writing. Ag to tha other f three heads, he only relterates his alrendy + exploded statements In a way which evinces the desperation to which the Democracy has arslyed, and which will certalnly be far from convineling any man on the Western Slope of auything suve the usininity of the writer and. the weakness of his cause. +.
