Before the resumption of tas regular procec- ingsiuthe Hill tnvestization this morning Mr. Coleman presented a formal eommunication call- ing attention to the promiseot Secretary Folger thathe would caus the attendance before the committee of any person governmeat employ. An interview with WilMam H. Bliss, United States district attorney for the eastern district of Mis- sourl, reported in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on June %, charges the supervising architect with the grossest fraud in connection with the con- struction of the St Louis custom house. He de- sired to fife that paper. ‘The chairman said that the committee had read the paper, or @ portion oft. Mr. Coleman therefore refrained’ from reading the newspaper article, He #aid that these charges, mavte so freely by a person in so high an oficial position, demanded the attention of the commit- tee. He desired that Mr. Bliss be called before the committee, or if ie should be unable to attend he would ask that be be examined in St. Loula, Mr. Thomas asked if Mr. Coleman was serious in making this demand, to which that gentleman re- plied that he was never more so. Mr. Thomas.—“Then that is what you meant yesterday when you said that you were just begin- ning this case.” Mr. Totten said that Mr. Coleman had a strange conceptiort of the duty of the committee, if he ex- pected it to take up scanialous and libelous news. Paper articles, or the utterances of a district attor- hey, whgse reputation might be good, but who certainly had the smallest amount of goo sense,tf he said the things reported in the newspapers. Mr. Murch had been mousing around the country for a long time, and if the committee went into that matter he would bring upsomething else when it failed. The counsel knew that the proposed inves- tigation was not proper. r. Coleman maintained the propriety of the in- quily. Mr. Hill had been investigated at Boston and indicted at St. Louls. It Was an old story with him. It was the business of his counsel to com- plete this investigation, ot to block tts wheels. Hill ought to invite investigation; to open up ali of his records, and ff the Sécretary of the Treasury was honest in his desire for an invest!gation he should have suspended Hill from his positon, and put in his place an honest man who would fur- Rish the papers called for by the pros-cution, ‘They were now dependent upon a defendant to turnish the evidence required to convict him. ‘Mr. Thomas.—“Have you communicated with Mr. Bilss?” Mr. Coleman.—«No.” Mr. Thomas —“Then on bare newspapers charges you want an investigation?” Mr. Coleman.—“It is not a bare newspaper charge; it 1s an interview with Mr. Bliss.” A TELEGRAM FROM MB. BLISS. The Chairman.—“The committee desire to say that thts interview was sent to ft. There are some things in it reflecting upon the committee. We wrote to Mr. Bulss, calling his attention to the in- terview, and asking If it was a truthful report. He telegrapbed us as follows: ‘Cleveland, O., 30 Hon. John C, New, Washington, D.C.—No thought or ntterance of mine, public or private, has elther Teflected on the integrity of your committee orany member, or attributed other than earnest, honest motives’ and efforts in investigating the Hill charges, I am surprised and humillated that a dental of a statement 80 Dalpably false acems neccssary. Shall cajl on you Monday. (Signed.) WM. H. Briss. AUTHENTICITY OF THE INTRRVIEW DENIED. On Tuesday Mr. Bliss came here and dented the authenticity of that Interview, saying that he had been incorrectly reported.” 3 Mr. Coleman.—“Did he say the charges were untrue?” Mr. New.—“He sald there was some foundation for them. but that as reported they were not true.” Mr. Coleman expressed some surprise that these things had takenplace without the knowledge of the prosecution, The chairman said that hecould get Mr. Bliss here at any time; he was in Boston. Mr. Coleman presumed that the occurrence of this morning would probably cause Mr. Bilss or the reporter to come here. MR. TOTTEN’S WARM DEPENSE OF THE ARCHITECT. Mr. Totten denounced Mr. Coleman’s proposition as monstrous. He wished Mr. Hill to prove him- self Innocent, instead of trying to prove him guilty. Mr, Hill had been Indicted at St. Louts; so had Mr. Potter; the whole supervising architect’s Office came near being indicted, But they had Deen acquitted. The indictment only went to show how a grand jury comid be criminaly used by mallcious persons. ‘Tits investigation had been in progress for seven weeks, and he defied any one to point’ to a syllable of testimony reflecting upon Mr. Hill’s in. tegrity. The authenticity of the newspaper aru- cle hud been denied. “ Reporters occasionally made mistakes; they were unavoldable at times. But. points were also added in the editorial rooms that changed the entire meaning of an interview. The grand jury room was the proper place to in- vestigate charges of corruption, and he asked why the prosecution aid not proceed there, MR. COLEMAN MARVELS AT MR. TOTTEN’S CHEEK. Mr. Coleman marveled at the cheek shown py the counsel, The defense had put on the stand a witness who swore that he had been employed by Bartlett, Robbins & Co., and at the same time had made plans for the government for four buildings, for which his firm was bidding. Another employe of that firm had gone into govern- ment employ long enough to make a favorable re- ort upon thousands of dollars worth of material ‘urnighed by that firm for the Chicago building. When he finished that job he went back to nis place with Bartlett, Robbins & Co. ‘That was an offenge that sho#ld Send them to the penitentiary, yet the counsel sald that they were proving noth ing. ‘Fine chairman sald that the committee would take under consideration Mr, Coleman’s demand that Mr. Bliss be examined. THE REGULAR PROCEEDINGS were then resumed. The defense called John B. Patterson accountant of the supervising archi- tect’s office, to contradict Mr. Stinemetz in his statement of the cost of the extra work performed upon the New York post aMice. i THE DIX ISLAND GRANITE CONTRACT. ; Mr. C.

HOW DARED THEY RETURN HERE, AND WHO PRO- TECTED THEM HERE? On the 9th of May, 1879, Edward Perkins, alias Pettingall, allas Anderson, and Peter Burns and James Logue, alias Jim Logue, were indicted (indictment No. 12,937) for the larceny of forty- two thousand dollars, five-twenty bonds, from Naval Constructor Hanscom. The circumstances of the robbery were strikingly like those of the Prud’homme robbery. Hanscom kept his bonds in a secretary standing in a room adjacent to his bed-room. Access was probably obtained to te house in the day time. A jimmy and a chisel were used, and a key—subsequently found in the posses- sion Of one of the parties was used to open the Teceptacle tn which the bonds hd been placed. Of the parties excepting Perkins fled, but he, shortly after the robbery, sol! two of the stolen bonds to Drexel & Ca, of Philadelphi., for $2,000, giving a false name and address, an subsequently returned and offered two thousand more for sale, giving a different adcress. The bank at that time discovered that the bonds then offered were also part of the stolen bonds, where- upon Perkins was arrested, Drought here, twice convicted, and sentenced by Judge Hagner to the penitentiary, Mr. Willlams, the counsel for Perkins, contended with great earnestness that Perkins could not be uiliy because, as he maintained, he had never nin the District of Columbia at that time. ‘There was, however, found upon him,as before meptioned, a key that unlocked the drawer trom which the bonds were stolen, whjch, with the fact of the stolen goods unaccounted for, was sufticfent to satisfy the jury of bis guilt; the court holding that a presence near enough to'ald and assist 1n the felony was sufficient to warrant a verdict. ‘The case subsequently went to the General Term, where the sentence below was affirmed, and Per- kins served out his sentence. Somo weeks ago there arrive’ in this city the same James Logue und one of the Burns—there ‘Were two brothers, James and Peter. ‘The former recently died in ‘Italy, Logue and Burns, on their last visit here, took rooms, or a room Was taken for them, in the upper story of a house on ‘th street northwest. After re- maining here some days and doing probably one or two small jobs, they returned to New York. During their stay here the Prud’homme robbery was effected, by the use of a jimmy, nip- ers anda chisel. The drawer being made of ard wood, the chisel made an indentation of its own shape therein, and also a plain mark of a break in the chisel itself. The police force had been watching thess {People for some days and nights, probably fearing that another robbery might be successfully accomplished and the plunder be gotten off. Logue and Burns were ar- Tested, andin their room was found a complete and remarkably fine set of burglar’s tools, in- cluding a jimmy, nippers, two turn keys and a broken chisel, which fits exactly tothe marks on the Prud’homme drawer. Itts understood that when released on ade- posit of $20 each, these expert cracksmen started horth, but were agatn arrested, and are now held in Baltimore. Their persona were perfectly well known to the old detectives. It was upon the testimony of oné or more of the ex-detective ofticers that Burns, Logue and Perkins were in- dicted for the Hanscom robbery. It is a very remarkable circumstance that these two well-known thieves should have dared come here and remain for weeks with the original in- Gietmept against Logue and Peto Burns still pending. It would be an interesting inquiry and quite well worth prosecuting as to Who brought these men here, who protected them, why was not Logue ar- Tested on the old indiclment, why Was Dot the third man, who connected with them while they were here, and who for twenty years nearly has Uved by ctooked ways and asa go-between for thieves, also run down, arrested and tried for some of the criminal practices in which he habitually indulges in? Would it not be a good plan to send a bench warrant to Baltimore and bring Logue and perhaps Burns back here and try them for the Hanscom robbery? —_.—_—_ Wills Filed To-day. BEQUESTS OF ROBERT R.

SHARP REPLY OF THE SAN FRANCISCO COMMITTRE TO STATEMENTS OF COLUMBIAN COMMANDERY, NO. 1, OF NEW YORK. San Francisco, Cat., July 13.—A document has been issued by the triennial conclave committee here, addressed to Knights Templars throughout the United States, in which they say: “Whereas, the officers of Columbian Commandery, No. 1, of New York city, issued, on June 25th, a circular to the effect thas, the Commandery had abandoned its contemplated trip to San Francisco, for the alleged reasons that its commitiee, after months of labor in perfecting Unis pligrimage, have been unable to obtain hotel accommocations in San Francisco. Inducements were held out by the committee of arrangements of San Francisco that all Who came tothe triennial conclave would be provided with hotel accommodations. But this means indiscriminate herding of a large pumber in hallways, rooms, &. Various attempts have been made by our cominittee demanding contracts for quarters, quartering our friends, proper care and attention. Our attempts hove falled, and rather than subject those wlio might Join the pilgrlinage to exorbitant demands, to inconveniences and the discomfort of formed assemblages, we hive sounded the halt, and shall proceed no further in our effort to attend the triennial conclave.” Now, in reply to the foregoing, we desire to say, in emphatic tanguage, “tliat it ls entirely untrue, as early in April arrangements were made between the triennial committee and members of Colum bk: commandery, clothed with full powers as comm tee of one, by which a first-class hous® was secured for their accommodation, and has ever since, and 18 now held in reserve for that purpose. In’ this connection we desire, im refutation of the fais? and malicious statement that extortion would be practised during the sojourn of sir knights and their families in thls city, that there will be ple and comfortable accommodations for all wo come, as the committee has under control, outside of all the prineipal hotels, the very best and fullest accommodations at regular, reasonable rates, and that there 1s not now, nor will there be, the sli est disposition towards practising extortions on the part of the citizens of San Francisco, nor has there been such a disposition or intent manifested at any time. There will be room—plenty of roow for thousands of sir knights and their farailies. They will be treated with every courtesy, lib- erality and kindness. The city will be gay in hol- iday attire; the procession will be a magnificent one, and the decorations perfectly elegant. ail classes, creeds and conditions of society will unite in giving the knights a glorious Callfornta recep- Uon, The people will revolt agalust and punish any attempt ‘at, much less the absolute tactlot, ex- tortion. will be an era bright in the life of each and every one participating. ee Damaging Flood in Virginia.
