BLAINE. ‘The chairman was directed to acknowledge re- ceipt of the letter, leaving it an one question for the present when Mr. Blaine should be heard. MR. BELMONT GIVES IT UP. Mr. Belmont stated that In view of the refusal of the witness to answer several questions which he (Belmont) had deemed material, he did not care to occupy any further time in the cross-examination. ‘The chairman stated that it was desirable to con- clude the examination of Mr. Shipherd to-day and he therefore would call upon any members who desired to put any questions to express their wishes in the matter. SHIFHERD CROSS-EXAMINED BY MR. LORD. Representative Lord took up the cross-examina- tion of Mr. Shipherd. Witness stated in reply to a question “I dealt with Mr. Hurlbut as I would have dealt with a Tecognized criminal.” = Now was that by advice of counsel ? ‘he dealings 1 had with him were by advice of counsel. Witness was pretty closely pressed upon this point, and finally went into a long explanation to the effect that in his dealings with Hurlbut he acted wholly on the defensive, as he would against a man who would strike him, and in dealing with im he realized that he was a bad man and that he must so treat with him as to prevent him from in- juring them. He put out the letter to test Hurl- ut’s moral appreciation, intending to let him construe as he saw fit, believing that he would act upon it and at the proper time would expect such an interest as he believed due to hin. Mr. Lord.—Then, wotil you both agreed as to the moral interpretation of the letter, you expected to consider that , Fou were responsible for nothing but ut) would have nothing w expect, mut) would have not ex have nothing to pay. ~~ oe Witness.—That was my view in part, Witness admitted that Governor Boutwell was consulted in regand to the letter after it had been sent, and his comment was “that letter seems plain enough to a careful reader, but if 1 had been consulted, Ship- herd, I doubt if I should have advised sending it.” OBJECT OF HIS INTERVIEWS WITH MR. BLAINE. Witness was asked whether the object of his long interview with Mr. Blaine was to influence the in- structions to Mr. Hurlbut, and repiied:—At that time my chief and controlling interest was whether Icould get the Secretary’s attention to this matter, Idon’t think I had any definite idea, but in a general way I hoped it I could get access to the Secretary L might influence the character of the instructions, BENATOR BLATR’S FER. Witness declined to state anything in regard to the fee paid to Senator Bla'r, whether it was cash or otherwise. Witness understood the Senator to decline the fee solely because he might be called upon in a quasi-judicial capacity to pass upon the case as a Senator. Mr. Lord.—We will recur to that letter of June 2d. What did Senator Blair mean by speaking of the folly of it? Was it becaus2 gou offered to sell and you would honorable proposal, and he (Hurl. | him (Hurlbut) stock instead of giving it to him? PLAYFUL REMARKS, ‘Witness (with some deliberation).—I thought the Senator’s remark a playful one. Mr, Lord.—It was also playful on the part of the Sceretary, was It, when he sald, “Phat won't fetch Auswer.—I understood the Secretary to take the same view as the Senator. Mr. Lord.—And you have already admitted that you Were dealing as with a recognized villain, and your counsel and the Secretary had commented ‘upon the pacha. of the reward you proposed tooffer. Did all three of you consider that you were dealing with a villain? Witness.—You are dealing in the speculative so much that I handly follow the drift of your ques- tions, I understood the Secretary to refer to me and those I represented when he sald, “That won't fetch him.” I took it as purely a jocose remark. It did not stand out in my mind in the prominent manoer in which the examiner now seems dis- posed to bring it out. In reply, witness said: “My impression that Hurlbut was a villain was deepened as we went on.’ Mr. Lord.—Then what did you mean, in a subse- quent letter to Mr. Hurlbut, by saying you would sane by im as a brother, and praisiag him as a ete. Pan ieness, (with some irritation.)—Oh! my letters show for themselves; they don’t need any para~ Ing. Mr. Lord.—Then, whatever advantages you ex- pected to receive from Mr. Hurlbut through that fetter, you failed to obtain, did you not? Witness.—Yes, sir; he ultimately took the course T feared he would. Mr. Lord.—Did you on the whole fail to obtain from Mr. Hurlbut and the Secretary of State any advantages for the company?” Witness.—Oh! no, sir; I think I recetyed all the aid from Mr. Hurlbut that I could el nated In answer to further inguiry, witness sald: 1 think my letter of June 2d accomplished so much that it held Mr. Hurlbut in a neutral position, and to that extent it answered its purpose. 8 TO INTEREST OF PUBLIC MEN IN THE CLAIM. In answer to Representative Wilson, the witness said that he first became connected with this claim in the latter of March, 1881, as a prac- ticing attorney, in October, 188) ¢ Peruvian company was organized. No minister plenipoten- tary of the United States and no member of Con- ed ever owned any interest in this claim to his wiedge. Witness declined to state whether any Senator ever held or owned stock in the com- SOME AMUSEMENT ensued when Mr. Wilson endeavored to discover what consideration was given Galatcio Cochet for hisclaim. Witness hesitated, laughed, and then sald, with a serious air: “I understood that the consideration pald for the claim was—pausing— eminently satisfactory to all parties concerned.” The chairman requested witness to give the committee the names of the two gentlemen now in New York to whom Mr. Shipherd has alluded as ities who were personally cognizant of Mr. public the names of these gentlemen, but would give them to the com- mittee in confidence, that they might determine whether or not they would summon them here witnesses. ‘The chairman assented, and announced the post- ponement of the investigation until Tuesday next, when it ig expected the examination of Mr. Ship- herd will be concluded. FOUR BURGLARS ARRESTED. An Iron Safe Blown to Shreds, GOOD WORK OF THE POLICE FORCE—SERGRANT AMIS’ ENCOUNTER WITH THE MEN—THEIR FINAL Car- TURE. About 4:15 o’clock this morntng, In passing along L, between 12th and 13th streets northwest, Ser- geant Brooke Amiss saw a man near the mouth of the alley which runs south to the rear of the Franklin row, on K street, and in which ts located the carpenter shop of Mr. Robert I. Fleming. The sergeant Immediately spoke to him, asking what he was dolng there so early in the morning. The young man replied, giving some evasive answer, and in reply to a question where he lived, sald he lived on F street, and was then going home. At this time another stout, thick-set_man came down sare qucstion, and got the reepomses “Wink the lon, an e Tes} 2 “What hell business is tt to you?” At that the sergeant grasped him by the collar, remarking: “I'll show You that tt Is my business.» SERGEANT AMI8S KNOCKED DOWN. At that moment the thick-set fellow drew a billy and struck the officer a blow in the forehead knocking him down. At this time three other men appeared, coming from the direction of Mr. Flem- ing’s shop, and the last Sergeant Amtss remem- ered was one saying, “Give him hell.” They were, however, too much surprised to do any more than give him a passing kick In the ribs and the sergeant drew his revolver and fired four shots at ‘them as they left him on the ground at the mouth of the alley. Several shots were fired by the rob- bers at the sergeant, but luckily none struck him. ‘The men separated, two going down toward 14th and three going round the corner of 12th street, Oficer Kearney, who was patroling further west of this place, hearing the shots ran up L street, and one of the fugitives ran past him. ‘The officer called to learn wiiat the matter was, but the man kept on when Kearney drew and fired three shots at him, but the fellow kept on and went around the corner. Itis not known whether he was hurt or not. Sergeant Amiss in his struggle with the stout mhan got considerably bruised but got im his Work on the fellow’s face, flattening his nose and leaving other evidences of the fight. ‘THE SAFE BLOWN TO SHREDS. They all escaped, however, and after the ser- geant recovered his breath a hasty examination Was made of Mr. Fleming’s carpenter shop, when It was found that his safe was blown into shreds: Sergeant Amiss then repaired at once to the sta- tion house on Massachusetts avenue, near 10th Street, and reported the case to Lieut. Green, who telephoned the facts to police headjuai and the whole detective force was summoned, and were at police headquarters in less than twenty minutes and were started out in company wit oe aa the vigilance of Oficer Kearney got ON THE TRACK OF THE BURGLARS, and traced them from one point to another until they got east of the Capitol, and coming across Sergeant Mulhall and Officers Howe and Bryan, they were hastily asked to follow, and about 8 o'clock they had the men located in a house on L between 7th and 8th southeast, used as a boarding house and laundry. Stationing men in different: approaches, $0 as to cover the house completely, the detectives entered and found four of the men, who had secreted themselves in their beds. An at- tempt was made to escape, but the officers were too many for them, were ALL CAPTURED, and immediately marched to police headquarters followed by an excited crowd. They arrived about 9 o'clock at police headquarters, and were put into the room rdjoining the cells, and four more villain. ow looking fellows have seldom bean seen together. They were seated in a row and searched one by one, and such things as they had were taken from them. They gaye their nimes as Ed. Morrell, 26 years old, from Cincinnati, Ohio, and Single; Wm. Fitzstimmons, 32 years old, from Bal- tmore, single; Charles Lilley alias Thos. eae 8 years Old, Single, and Charley Wood alias Tom Jones, no age nor residence given. The one named Fitzsimmons was recognized by Mr. Amtss as the one he shot at, and on being made to strip it was found that a ball had cut his shirt across the back and the skin had been knocked off about two inches in length and his shirt wis bloody. Morrell had a ladies gold waich and chain and a $5 sold piece in his pockets, and the others had smali sums of money but no ‘tools or pistols. All however had cartridges in their pockets of the Same size us those used by the police, THE ARRESTED MEN. ‘They are all strangers in this city, except one, who Detective Miller recognized as having seen here some time ago. The Nfth man was not found, and the belief is that he got badly shot in the fight and was put away somewhere to be treated for his injuries, The detectives say this Is the mob which has been operating on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad from the Cumberland valley down, and lately broke into Parker's book-store, on 7th and cracked a safe in Georgetown: In the haste to get the men secured the officers did not make a particular examination of the house where they were found to see what they had there and at once returned there. From an article found on the one that was shot a connection is made with the late burglary and robbery at Cumberland, Md. Dr. Eliot examined the wounded prisoner at headquarters, and states that he is not much hurt. MR. FLEMING IDENTIFIES THREE OF THE MEN. Mr. Fleming was sent for by Major Brock and arrived at police headquarters about 1 o'clock when he identified three of the men who he h: seen yesterday, one of them coming into his office to make inquiries about the cost of fitting up a res- taurant; this is the youngest looking of the sot, and later in the day he saw two of them at the mouth of the alley leading to his place of business, They were evidently looking the ground over. He States that they entered by breaking open a shut- ter, and bored the safe just above the lock, and he thinks use dymanite; a fuse was found several yards in length which had been used, and just fitted the hole in the safe door. The safe was en- tirely destroyed. The cost of it was $300, and was made in Cincinnati, Ohio. The explosion and the shooting which follgwed awakened many people in that neighborhood. A colored family living at the corner of the alley were aroused and came ed when the man who was watching caught hold oj them, telling them that if they made a nolse they would blow their brains out, A DUPLICATE KRY. Mr. Fleming states one singular circumstance, that Inside of the safe is a small drawer, which Ig secured with a separate lock, where he keeps his change and pa} there were Wuen ie purchased his sa guaranteed com when he purcl him? taae there were but two keys muse for this drawer, and every safe had a different set of keys, ‘no two safes being alike in this respect.
