THE BILL TO INCKEASE THE SALARIES OF JUDGES. ‘Mr. Hoar then called up his bill to increase the salaries of United States district court Judges to $5,000, The pending question was on the amend- ment making it unlawful for a judge to appoint to a position in his court any relative within the de- give of frst cousin, and. making it a msdtemeanor | for a judge so to do. Mr. Ingatls thought that making the offense a misdemeanor took {t out of the class of offenses for Which the Judge would ve tnpeachable. He and Mr. Hoar thought the offense would Involve Im- Peachment {f no penalty were specitically stated. ‘The amendment was modified by the omission of the clause specifying that the offense was a misde- meauor, and was then agreed to. APPOINTMENTS OF RELATIVES TO OFFICE. In the course of the debate upon the subject, Mr. Ingalls characterized it as highly tndelicate and im- proper for government officers toappoint thelr rela Uves to office. He thought. there should be a gen- eral law forbidding it—a sweeping condemnation of the whole practice. Mr. Coke sald there had not, for several been’ a United States judge, whose nepotism 1 outrage upon the p years, ave one, In Texas, ad not become a scandal and an pple of the state.

BE EXPLAINS HIS CONNECTION WITH THE CASE AND CONTRADICTS THE TESTIMONY OF MR. COOK: ALSO SAYS HE DID Nor DIVIDE Hig FER WITH MX. BLISS OR ANY ONE ELSE. Mr. Richard Crowley, ex-member of Congrvss from New York, was examtned before the Springer Investigating committee to-day. He gave his rest- dence as Lockport, New York, and said he was a lawyer. He was a member of the House of the Forty-Sixth and Forty-Seventh Congresses. He was an attorney for Ottman, in cases pending in the U.S. courts at Washington and Alexandria. Mr. Springer.—Please explain your connection ‘with those cases, Mr. Crowley replied that early in the spring of 1881, Mr. Ellison, who had been engineer in charge Of the machinery of the House of Representatives and was then a clerk of the committee on agricul ture, came to hitn and sald that Ottinan, a friend of his, wuted to employ counsel in place of Mr. Carpenter. Witness replied that he could not then decide whether to take the case or not, but Ellison gave him an outline of the case. In Ue latter part Of 1881, While at Albany, witness received. 4 LETTER FROM OTTMA’ Which the witness read. This letter stated that Ellison had given the polnts of the case, and offered to give Crowley a contingent fee of $5,000 on the entry of a notle prosaqul in Ottman’s cases. Ott- man explained that he could only offera continge fee, because lis money was Ued up Dy the govern- ment, Witness repiied to that letter, saying he would see Ottiman in New York city 1u afew days. About the middle of June he met Ortman tn New York. Witness told him he would be in Washington {n a few days, and would make a fullexammtion of the cases “Ottman told hin that Carpenter, Merrick and Cook had been his attorneys. Witness arrived tn Washington oa the 11th of July, and he devoted Unree days to an examination of the cases against Oltman. “He found TOREE INDICTMENTS AGAINST OTTMAN charging him with having stolen, embezzled, ete., $47,000. Those Indictments were consolidated inte one. Ottman had been tried twice on the consalt- dated indictnent. Witnessrent over the record of the wo trials, In both of which there was & failure to convict. He sald that in the first trial the Jury stood seven for conviction and tive Tor acquit Tal In the second trial elevenof the Jurors favored acquittal and one was undecided. “That was t condition of the criminal eases. “Witness found that a civil ease had been commenced against Ott Tan to recover $17,000. Defendant demurred, and motion was made to quash the attachment for the money. The motion to quash the attachment Was granfed in the lower court, but the General ‘Term reversed that and sustained the attac ‘The decisions of the court were in 1876 and 1S Nothing appeared of record in. the courts after these decisions. Witness called on Cook atid had a brief conversation with hlin about the ease. MIL CROWLEY CONTRADICTS Mi. COOK'S TESTIMONY ABOUT. “INFLUENCE. Mr. Crowley here referred to Col. Cook's testi- mony, and dented in the most sweeping terms that | he had intimated or implied that he had any Intlu- ence with powers in authority.

Col. B at the Arlington, where witness was stoppin ness told BlISs Miat Ottman Was his client and had intide application to have the eases disposed of, and Withess asked Bliss to call the Attorney attention to the request and ask lulin to it. Biss promised to do so, and afterwards sald he ad made tie request of the Attorney General, afterwards Buss informed witness that General had authorized ttn (Bliss) Lo harge of the cases. Bliss sald to witness that he was SATISFIED THERE COULD BE NO CONVICTION. Bilss added that Mr. Wells thought that the civil sult might be successfully prosecuted, and that he (Buss) Was unwilling to set aside that case, but would consent to a distutssal of the criminal cases. Witness perstaded OUimun to accept the ¢ mnise. Witness’ Judgment was and is that 1 vietion- Within any’ Teasonable probability could have been had. He did not belleve that any judy- Ment could have been secured against Otuman, AS counsel for Ottman witness would REPLY TO WELLS’ TESTIMONY, tothe effect that the clvil case could have been pros- ecuted to success; that Wells rematued district at- torney three years after the commencement of the action, yet he never took a single step to prosecute the elVil case. The cases ran to 1882 from 1877 With ont any action being taken In the courts, and wit ness held that it was due to Ottman to prosecute the cases at once or disiniss them. He told BUIss that the government could not afford to hold Indi ments over a citizen for years without trial Wit ness advised Ottman to compromise; to buy ls peace, if necessary. He told Ottman that the cases could’ be held “over him for years, and he had better get out by compromise if he could, than to submit to annoyance for years, ‘THE DISPOSITION OF THE MONEY. In reply toa question about the disposition of the mones, Mr. Crowley sald the government never had in {ts possession the $19,525 which was selzed in different places and handed over to the District ‘Commissioners. ‘The money, as evidence, was used In both cases against Ottinun. After the second trial Commissioner Monzan took the money to ‘Treasurer Gillian, and made a spectal deposit of itin the U.S. Treasury. Witness went with Mor- an and Bliss and Ottman, got the package and roke the seal. It contained $19,525 and some rs. In Alexandria there was a deposit of $10,000, When the suit was settled, the government clatined that {t could succeed tn the Alexandria civil sult; and the interest of the Alexandria money (10,000) ‘was figured up, and, with interest from the time of the deposit to the time of settlement, tt amounted to $12,700. This amount was allowed the govern- ment. At the meeting at the Treasury, out of the kage that was opeied $12,700 were pald to BlUSS Tor. the government. Witness took out of the te- mainder his fee of $5,000, and pald the balance re- maining to Otuman. OTTMAN'S SMALL SHARE. Ottman was paid out of the package $1.82, and the sult in Alexandria was left pending. Witness called on Coleman, the law partner of the late Mr. Carpenter, and Coleman sald he had instructions to commence suit against the bank of Alexandria, and that he had the certificate of deposit of $10,000 in Alexandria. Coleman sald the certificate Delonged to Russell Sage, of New York. Witness, ‘with Ottman and Coleman, had consultations with the bank officers and Russell Sage’s representative, Dut nothing was done. He was informed that last year this Inatter was settled, on the basis that 1ussell Sage, who had bought the $10,000 certificate ‘of deposit from Matt. Carpenter for $8,000, got back his $6,000 with three per cent interest, and Ottman got the balance. Witness was not’ present, but Knew that settlement was made. The government got no part of the money at Alexan All the government got was a sum equal to the $10,000 attached at Alexandria with interest, amounting in whole to $12,700. ‘Witness said, in relation to his that the government employ counsel to conduct the trial, that Mr. Corkhill was disqualified to try the caseS, and that he would have asked that the cases be soit Abeer . you have asked for a speedy trial in the case?” asked Mr. Springer. “I would,” was the reply. “Did you urge the com “I did not.
