In reply to Scout Allison, who was sent out by Gen, ‘Ferry to hear what tho dusky warrlor hid to’ offer, he said ho did not Jike the torm “surrender.” He claimed that all his troubles with the United States grew out of the unwarrantablo In- yasion of his country, and that he siways neted In’ self-defense, Sitting-Bull places mitch rellance on the gov ofices of Maj. Walsh, the Canadian representative who promised to negotinte for him with the “white men,” and who promised to inform hin of -the result of the negotintions by the 15th, He snys that if Mnj.

Tho disappointed candidate became very angry at his defent, and published a,card in which he referred to Dunn as a ballot-box-stuffer, a ylolator of the law, and ‘a ropresenta- tive of tho worst element In the community.

While Morey was making his confesston, Lindsey was kept in District- Attorney Phelps! oflice. An employé of the lawyer who hag been defending Philp visited him, and, after asking a single question and wetting his reply, hurrted away. In ashert time the Inwyer's employé returned, sald something te the prisoner, and again left. “UIs Iawyer has deserted him,? sald 2 prom inent official, “and that means. that the iis- reputable sheet whieh got the two men into this trouble will repudinte them to-morrow.” When the ejgrk had gone, Lindsey LOOKED VERY MUCIE FRIGHTENED, and, after a few moments of hesitation, sent fg request that Assistant District-Attorney Bell would sec him. When Mr, Bell arrived Lindsey asked ff a confession would free him froin the consequences of his crime. Mr. Bell answered. that he could not pr that, but thatin the event of Lindsey con- fessiny he should feel disposed to take Into sertons consideration the propriety of deal- ing lenlently with him. Lindsey then ex- pressed a willingness to. make a full state- ment,and, after the examination of Morey had been concluded, he was ushered Intothe presence of Justiee Morgan. ACCORDING TO LINDSEY'S STORY, his real name is James O'Brien, and he Isa natlve of Wastington, D.C., where he has lived nearly all of his life. Ie nas tone nothing in particular fora Ilving, but is one of the rough men about the’ elty, and has been in the Penitentiary twice for disorderly conduct. Ie was sent for to zo to Cumber- land, Md., just: before the election, by Will- fam M. Price, 2 candidate for Presidenttal Elector on the Democratic ticket, and, when he srtived there, Price and ao police officer named Birmingham in- structed him in the rdlo which he was to play In this clty Ju regard to the Morey letter. They taught him tho story which he was to tell, took him to the promi- nent mines in the neighborhood, and tried fo drill him into an exact knowledge of their lucallty and features; but, as subse- quent events proved, the time was too short, or THE MAN WAS TOO STUPID, to gain suflicient knowledge of this kind to make a successful perjurer. ‘Then, when the man was” supposed to © be _ thor oughly Informed, Price and Birminghain bought his ticket and sent him to this clty, consigned to the disreputable paper whose purposes he wis designed to serve. Inthe ofilce of thls paper ho was questioned and given money, with the promise of more when his work was com- pleted. Ils testimony from beginning to end was a fabrication, At the conclusion of the exainination Morey was returned to the custody of nis tuncle, with orders to produce him to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock, when his confession will be read to him for his signature. 5 O'DRIEN, as Lindsay, according to his own story, should ‘now be called, was taken to the Tombs} Prison by Detective Fields and handed: over to tha temporary custody of Warden Finn, who locked hin up.
