MERRICK’S TESTIMONY CON- TINUED, Foreman Hutchinson’s Explanation Why Kellogg was not Indicted—The Promise of Immunity to Price—Why Mr. Merrick and Mr. Blivs Disagreed. Mr. R.T. Merrick continued his testimony be- fore the Springer committee this morning. Upon taking the stand he explained that in speaking of the two star route juries, he referred to their average intelligence. In this relation he would Uke to say that the juries in the District were as good generally as could be had In any other place. With relation to his statement yesterday that Mr. Hutchinson, foreman of the grand jury, must have been mistaken when he sald that Price was expected before the grand jury, a8 Price was not at that time available, he said that. Mr. Hutchin- son ealled upon him last evening and convine»d him that he (Merrick) was in error in makiug that statement. Mr. Springer then asked witness to detail the conversation which brought about this conclusion. Mr. Merrick sald that he thought. Mr. Hutcht son was a competent witness and might be called to give these details. A long discussion arose upon this question, Mr. Stewart holding that the witness should not be required to give, what he termed, “hearsay evi- dence,” and the chairman and the Fest of the com- mittee, generally, holding that as the question had Deen referred toand given in part, it should be completed. FOREMAN HUTCHINSON EXPLAINS TO MR. MERRICK WHY KELLOGG WAS NOT INDICTED. Finally, the witness, in answer toa question, sald he had based his idea of Hutchinson's supposed érror upon the fact that the government counsel did not expect Price to appear and testify before the Hutchinson grand jury, but since his conversa- ton yesterday With Hutchinson witness had be- i t there was some expectation would appear. Witness sald Hutehinson maintained that $ timon: alled at his house last night and he (Hutehinson) was correct In his the jury expected Price to supy testimony. Mr. Merrick told Hutent must be mistaken, a available and couid not appear. Mr. Merrick in- sisted to Hutchinson that the latter must have mis- understood Biss, (Hutehtason had declared that Bilss promised the jury that Price should follow Walsh in his testimony before the grand. jury. Hutchinson insisted to Merrick t not Taistaken; that Bilss did positively promise that Price should appear after Walsh and testify before the jury in the Kellogg case. — Hutchinson Stoutly maintained his position, and said that as Price dit not appewr, after tt romised by Bliss, the jury did not indict Kellogg. Mr. Stewart objected to the witness giving his conversation of last. night. with. Hutehinson, but the objection was overruled and Mr. Merrick gave the above as the substance of what passed be- tween ilmself and Hutehinson. ‘That conversa- Uon satisfied witness that he was wrong yesterday {n Saying Hutchinson Was mistaken In” testifying that the jury expected to have Price's testimy Mr. Merrick, during his recital of the Hutchinson conversa , Sald his understanding with the sel was that Price was not expected be- 4 and hence his firmness tn Ine hi nd jury. F that’ Hut ween in saying Bi Friee. PRICE PROMISED IMMUNITY IF HE WOULD TESTIFY AGAINST KELLOGG. Mr. Merrick satd he determined to get, if possl- ble, the testimony of Price, because he regarded a fraud perpetrated by a public official as of greater enormity than one committed by a private indi- vidual, ind he determined to use the evidence of privaté individuals mixed up in the fraud to coi vict the greater criminal, ‘Therefore, he was Will- ing to use Price to punish Kellogg. Price’s son called upon witness and said his father wanted to be rid of prosecution. Witness sald hls father could be rid of it 1f he would testify against. Kellogz. Subsequently, in the fall of 1882, Celsus Price called upon witness, and the latter sald that if Price would draw up a sworn statement, setting forth all he knew in the case, that the ‘accused (Price) should be relieved of’ prosecution. Such a state- ment Was made and submitted to witness, and wit ness regarded It as sufficient to fasten guilt upon Kellogg. Witness showed the sworn statement of Price to Woodward and also to Bliss. There was a decided difference between witness and Bliss as to the policy of accepting Price as a witness. All these negotiations were ‘subsequent to the refusal of the Hutchinson grand jury to indict Kellogg. WITNESS AND BLISS DIFFERED RADICALLY, asto the propriety of making Price a witness against Kellogg, and that difference was submitted to the Attorney General. A meeting of the counsel with Gen. Brewster was held at the latter's house. Bitss, Ker, and Merrick were present before the Attorney General. Witness read Price's affidavit, and submitted his views urzing the use of Price a8 arwltness. Bliss antagontrl these views, holding that the sta'ute of Minitations barred Keliogg’s offense, Witness admitted that the statute barred the transaction of July, 187, which was the deliv- ery to Kellogg by Price’ot the postal drafts and a promissory note. Witness maintained that the order for increase and_ expedition procured by Kel- logg’s Lufluence was fraudulent, and at the confer- ence he replled to Bliss that though the first trans- action—the delivery of the drafts and notes—was barred by the statute, the collection of the drafts, the payment of the money on them to Kellogg, was not barred. Ker agreed with Merrick. ‘The discus- slon was heated, Bliss also objected to the affidavit. on the ground that it did not tell all Price knew, “and also on the ground _ that Price‘ought tobe prosecuted. Finally, the Attor- ney General directed Woodward to obtain from Price a fuller sworn statement, and then, upon this Statement, the Attorney General would decide whether to accept Price as a witnessor not. Wood- ward procured another statement, and upon that the Attorney General decided to accept Price as a ordere Then, for the first time, lable asa witness, Mr, Merrick ninson must have been had promised to produce Price became then went on to correct What he said was AN ERROR IN MR, KER’S TESTIMONY. He said Mr. Ker testified that when an indictment was found against Kellogg, Bliss was very indig- nant, ete. The witnesssaid the Attorney General's order to accept Price as a witness was issued while Bliss was in New York. Next day Bliss returned, and to the counsel Bliss declared that he would withdraw from the case if Price was accepted as a Witness. The second trial of Brady and Dorsey was then in progress. It was at lunch that Bliss der, and declared he would retire from Vithess and Ker went on with the case, ned out Of it for several days. “You are mistaken, Mr. Merrick. I Ay, —‘I don't think Ican be mistaken; at the record.” ‘The record of the trial Ww: showed that Bliss did only remain one day out of the ‘The day after Bliss’ threat witness called on Buss and urged him to remain in the case. Bliss complained that he had been badly treated by the Attorney General and the counsel; that they had treated “him with want of consideration and cour- tesy in passing upon the question of Price during his (Bilss’)) absence. The witness sald Bliss did not complun of the indictment at ail, but of what he | considered lack of consideration for him. Mr. Mer- Tick sald he begged Bliss to remain and work har- moniously in the case, and Merrick here added to the committee that Bliss was the hardest worker and the most efficient worker in handing volumin- us papers that he (Merrick) ever saw.

On the surface of the political situation in the democratic party of this city and state there 1s apparent harmony, which will probably be not disturbed in the state convention to be held at Sar- atoga on Wednesday next. But Gor. Cleveland may not have a majority of the convention, and consequently, may not have the control of the New York delegation at Chicago, as the vote ts now polled.
