C., MONDAY, JUNE 15, 1874. THE SATE BURGLARY. Another Chapter in the History._The img party Michael Hayes before the Committee. Michael Hayes,alias Wm. H. Butler, the party who escaped, and who participated, as It is al- leged, ia the safe burglary, was brought to the city thir morning by Messrs. Dorsey and Downes of Baltimore, (who testified before the commit- tee concerning him,) and at once placed him in the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arm: of the Sen- ate. Upon bis arrest being reported a note was writen by Judge Tharman to Mr. Harrington, telling him that the committee had Haves and inviting him to come before them. Mr. Har- rington at once complied and wil! be examined to-day. It appears that Hayes, after leaving Washington proceeded to Can- ada; from thence he wrote a letter to Mr. Dorsey telling him that he would visit him in Baltimore ata given time. Contrary to his expectation Hayes yesterday came to Balti- more, and upon the solicitation of Dorsey and Downs, he came with them to this city this morning and placed himself at the dispasal of the committee. The committee heard his statement. Columbus Alexander was also in attendance by request. It is understood that Hayes denies the afida- vit presented the committes by the New York attorney, Mr. Sommerville, who came here in debalf of the prisoner Benton, but aamits that he did sign a paper in blank at Sommoerville’s reqneet. At one o’clock Mr. Harrington sent Detective Sargent for a warrant, to which the formar will make affidavit charging Hayes with burglary. {tie his intention as the prosecuting officer of the District to arrest him on that clarge and lodge him in jail for trial. At 3 o'clock Mr. Harrington, who bad been in the committee room, came ‘out. He was questioned with reference to a party (Hayes claims it was himselt) who called on hia a few days before the burglary with referenca to counterfeiting case in West Virginia. Mr. Harrington said @ man did cail on him on business, but he told him it was out of his jarisdiction, and he would have to go to the ‘Treasury department. He failed to recognize Hays asthe man. Hayes says he was not with the burglar who committed the deed. He says be put ap the job, but left be- fore it was done, end that Nettleship, Mr. Whitley's asietant, got him to do it. The following \s tha afidavit above referred to presented to the committee by the New York law yer Thomas P. Somerville: Statz or New York, City and County of New York, ss:—Michae! Hayes, of aaid cl y, being poses and says, that on or about the sixth day of Apri! last past, be went from this city to Washington upon the strength of some letters he received to obtain an appoint ment as a detective on the Baltimore and Oaio railroad, which deponent tiad been looking after for soms time previous; that failing in getting the appointment. deponent turned his attention to lock up something that would pay the expen- ses of bis journey to Washingten; thst he visited various satoons and places of public resort and found that the topic of general conversation was the investigation of the alleged frauds ebarged against the Board of Public Works; ponent had read several articles in the news- papers in regard to the investigation; and tn Jiscussing the matter with a gentleman io a saloon on C street. ceponsnt expressed an opin: on as to where the original books and papers were likely to be tound, which were aileged to be in existence, and not produced; that wile at dinuer in the atternoup, in a saloon op yth street, deponent was spoken to by + German sit at the table with im, atd usked to take a drink with him; that he dore 0, and 9 general conversation oliowed, aud several drinks taken between hem. During the conversation deponent made known that he was in qnest of someth that he would like to eaving Weshington. replied he bought be could pnt him in the way of waking cmething, and we parted, agreeing to meet the tollewing afternoon in the Macble saloon, kept Russell & Leonard. I kept the appointment. «rd met at the Marble saloon my friend of the tay previous with # gevtleman whom he intro- juced to meas Mr. Demaine, stating that D. “a8 a gentleman likely to find me somthing to to; that after taking a drink, Mr. Demane ask- Gd ponent aside and said to me, *Yoa bave ard of the investigating committee, have ou not?” I replied that had. ‘The original vooks and contracts, sald he, with some warmth annot be found, or have Lot been protaced, né I know of some of the committee who are cnxious to get them, and would pay well for the vetting of them. Atter some further conversa ion, be proposed to introlace mo Mr.’ Columbus Alexander, whom he reas n to believe would pay handsomely for the wossession of the bouke. I at first declined to ee Mr. Alexander, and stated tu Demave that here would be considerable risk to ran in empting to get them. Mr. Demang said, * ‘ir Alexander will take care of that.” The ame evening I went by appointment with Mr. Jemane to Mr. Alexander's house, and after *n introduction by Demane, Mr. Alexander ‘ook me up from his office to his parlor alone, snd commenced the conversation between us y saying, understand you know where the rig’ ks and contract papers of the board of public works can be found?” I said, ‘Yes, yut there will be considerable expense attend- ng the getting of them, as 1 do not wish to be snown inthe matter myself.” Mr. Alexander asked me how much the expense would be. 1 said I was not prepared to say then. as it was ecessary for me to see @ friend in Baltimore, vut that 1 would be able to give him an answer m Monday following, on my retarn from imore. This was in the evening of the 10th of Apri]. Mr. Alexander replied that he would .old himself responsible for £1,000; that if more vas required he would have to conenit his coun- sel and some of the gentlemen of the committee. { proceeded to Baltimore and returued on donday following, and met Mr. Alexander he Capitol, as agreed on between us. He then arged me to heeten up the matter and get the 0oks, a8 he believed the committee woald ‘lose the investigation tha‘ week, and that it was important to him that the existence of these woke be discovered. I told him I nseded some woney, but he declined paying until he got pos- ession of the books. J then found it necessary © borrow some money, and, meeting an ac- iaaintance, I borrowed on the strength of the ‘ployment euffictent to me to New York, vith the view of finding a man that would o ate upon the safe in the district attorne: fice, where it was believed the books and apers were deposited. After several days’ telay I succeeded in picking up William Ben- on, and aseuring him thst it was an easy job got bim to agree to take hold of it, and get the woks and papers and deliver them to Mr. Alex- snder; that deponent returned to Washington mthe night of the Zist of April, and on the tollowing day Benton came on. ‘Daring the ~vening of the 224 1 took Benton and iatro- ‘uced him to Mr. Alexander. Mr. A. was anxious to get the books that night, and pressed Benton to get them, to which Benton eplied be could not on that night, but would the ngbt following; that deponent again broached the subject of o>: pensation in (he presence of Benton, and was again assured oy Alexander that he was ready and would do ashe had already said, on the delivery of the books and papers. Deponent solemnly avers het he bas made the foregoing statement in be- yalf and beg ig terbanes young man Benton,now in prison;that deponent understood from’ Mr. Alexander that the production of the books and papers were for the pur, of public justice; hat their committee fully believed that there oad been a false set of books produced, and that ube originals were concealed. Deponent further ~ays that he would willing'y come forward and testify to the foregoing before the investi gating committee now ordered, as he under- a ‘from the newspapers, or before a court of J were he assured by the autdorities ga arrest; that under the understanding that deponent was not to be known inthe mat. ter, Mr. Alexander agreed to the money to Benton onthe tried of the books and papers.

Passed. He also called up Senate bill to provide for writs of error in certain criminal cases. Passed Mr. Buckingham gave notice that ou Wednes. day he would ask the Senate to consider basi ness from the Committee on Indian A fairs. Mr. Ramsey said he would object to any com mittee being ealled before the business of the Post Office Committee had been considere. Mr. Carpenter, from Judiciary Committee, reported adversely on bill amendatory of act tor removal of causes in certain cases from state courts; also adversely on bills relative to juris diction ot U.S. Supreme Court in certain cases; and amendatory of act to further the adminis tration of justice; ali of which were indefinitely postponed. Mr. Carpenter also, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported the House bill regu lating the removal of causes trom state courts to the circuit courts ot the United States, wit ap amendment in the nature of a substitute. Mr. Thnrman moved to strike out the 1ith section of the substitute, which authorizes the service of process upon the agentof a defendant in any civil suit not affecting the title to real estate; which, after much discussion, was re- jected_ayes 16, noes 40. Mr. Bayard moved to provide that the pro visions of the litb section shall not apply to suits for libel or slander. He said that this city was the principal center of the newapaper cor- respondents, and under the provisions of this section a process could be served on anyone of them on account of a libel suit brought again st the peper with which bay 2 were connected. Mr. Wadleigh said this bill was the most alarming species of legislation attempted since hisentrance into the Senate. It oifered the opportunity for great fraud upon men doing business in distant states. A man might be ruined and wot know it, for process could be served upon his agent and judgment declared sgainst bim without his having any knowledge that the suit had been brought. ‘The amendment of Mr. Bayard was then re- Ject d—ayes 20, noes 33.
