HOW CARRIGAN 18 ALLEGED TO HAVE BLED HIS AC- COMPLICES—“‘PAINTING” SIGNATURES AND BHADOW- ING PEOPLE. t Yesterday afternogn, after THe Sran’s report closed, a sensation wes caused In the trial of W. H. Dempsey and EC. Kirkwood, charged with pre- senting false claims upon the bureau of medicine and surgery, Navy department, by the testimony of Henry S$ Wetmore. He safd he went to Kirk- wood in February, 1882, and told him he understood that he, Carrigan’and others, were putting vouch- ers through, obtaining money and not deitvering goods. He inentioned a voucher for $2,800 In the hame of J. R. Agnew. Kirkwood dented tt at first, but finally said he would meet him the next morn: ing. Witness saw him the next morning. Witness told bim that a clerk in the fourth auditor's office gave himn the information, and that for $2,000 the matter could be settled and hushed up. Kirkwood. met witness two days afterwards, by appointment, at the corner of 14th street and New York avenue, and gave witness $2,000 in cash. Witness was a member of the firm of H. 8. Wetmore & Co, The “Co.” was Wm. Woodyard. He described how Kirkwood had in August, 1883, given him a voucher for furnishing fire extinguishers, which were never furnished. ‘Three or four days after Kirkwood gave him the $2,900 witness went into Dempsey’s Store with Kirkwood. Dempsey asked bin, “Who is the party that is in the 'Treasury?” saying, “we want to know.” Some customers, however, then came in, attracted Mr. Dempsey’s ‘attention and witness left. The crossexamination of the witness by Mr. Wilson provoked considerable laughter, and nis references to Carrigan made quite a Sensation. When asked what his means of support were dur— ing the last few years he was rather non-commit- tal He sald he had had considerable money de- side the $2,000 given him by Kirkwood. “I have Deen lucky at faro bank once in a while,” he ob- served, When pressed for a specific answer. He had, h sald, spent two years in working up his pension clalin, which he had succeeded in’ getting Passed. When asked how he proposed to “settle” the matter for $2,000, a5 he told Kirkwood, he re- | marked: “I didn’t’ know how I was going to settle 1t, inyself.”_ He afterwards sald he meant it would be settled, so far as he was concerned. “I was the | agent of Carrigan,” he said. “I went there for Carrigan to get the $2,000.” “What did you do With the money?” asked Mr. ‘Wilson. gave Carrigan $1,000 and kept the balance,” sald the witness. Mr. Wilson having referred to the transaction Kirkwood as one of blackmail the witness ‘That ts your interpretation of it.” “Whatis your interpretation of 1t?” asked Mr. | Wilson. “It was all right enough,” | inform him.” “And put him on his guard,” remarked the court, nd get his money,” sald Mr. Wilson. ‘hat was not much money,” sald the witness, nonehalently. WiNol much for you, I suppose,” observed Mr. | Wilson, j _,The witness safd that fust before that he had had | | $3,000 from his pension claim. ‘The demands upon | | Kirkwood were inade frequently after that. “Whea- ever Carrigan got hard up,” sald the witness, “he ‘ame to, me to go to KivkwWood and deimand ino! money.” Mr. Wilson having agatn used the term black- and the witness having again protested, the url Suggested the phruse, “addition, division “1 suppose you went to Kirkwood with great re- luctance?” said Mr. Wilson.

When asked why he told Kirkwood buat he got it from a cle! in the fourth auditor's office he answered, “I led about that.” “Then you will adinit.! said Mr. Wilson, blandly, “that you Lave not aways in your lizé told the true” 4 “Without any. is turning to Mr. Wilson, wi said the witness, “to his information et,” sald the witness, 1il'You Say the same.” ‘The witness sald Laat he had never presented the vouchers given him by Carflgan for payment b2- cause he did not think it would pe right. Car rigan, the witness said, told him it he would start soine business he would “let lim in” on some of the orders of the bureau. He had to raise some money and Dorrowed it from the late Col. W. H. Betts, woo introduced him t Win. Woodyard, his partner. ‘The witness borrowed £1,100 from ‘Col. Betts, and deposited it In bank In New York. ‘They opened an office at 1719 Park Row, the Interna onal hotel, In New York; that‘is, they set up a desk In the ‘witness’ bedroom. He did not know Woodyard betore that, but afterwards learned that he was what was calied a sporting or gambling man. “In fact,” said the witness, “I had gone Inyself to Alexandria with him and Col. Betts.” He had heard that Woodyard was a three-c ird-monte man, a bunko steerer, aud that he hid killed sey— eral” men. The business which they were to do was a general contraet buiness; but they did not, however, do any business. ‘The firma was in existence about thirty days. ‘Their deposit. in bank was checked out in about thirty days. When they got the order for fire extinguishers witness asked Woodyard for the money to buy some extinguishers. Woodyard said he had checked it all out, so they closed business. mere ee You were succeeded ‘by Grant & Ward, I su "sald Judge Wyil » sir,” sald the witness. ‘The witness sald he had recelved a letter from Dr. Hudson saying his firm would have a chance to compete. This letter he had given to Col. W. P. Wood. Wood accused witness of having been mixed up in transactions with the departnent. ‘The witness sald that he had not, and gave hit the letter to show that he had had’no dealings with the department, Wood said that Kirkwood had been to his office the night before and admitted it all. ‘The court did not pre- vent him from stating what Wood had said about Who had brought suit against Admiral Porter. Mr. Worthington, upon redirect. examination, wanted the witness to tell all that Carrigan had Said to hia when he told him to go to Kirkwood: but the court ruled this out. Counsel having sald that this voluntary statement of the witness con- cerhing Carrigan was a surprise to them, the judge sald: “It was surprising to me, because I did not expect a shot from that quarter. I supposed Car- rigan was a better man than to betray his friends." THE SENSATIONAL TESSIMONY OF LAKE KR. JONES. When the court met this morning, Lake R. Jones, who was employed as watchman in the Navy department trom 1876 to June, 1884, testified that’ Kirkwood came to him one day, atid asked him to go with Lim at 12 o'clock and watch him when he met Mr. Wetmore, AU 12 o'clock witness Went with Mr. Kirkwood, and saw Kirkwood meet Wetmore at the corner of New York avenue and 14th street. They went east towards 13th street, | and the witness then lost sight of him ia the crowd. On the next occasion, & short time after- Wards witness followed Wetmore, after he had lett Kirkwood, down 13th and F streets, and up 14th to ahouse opposite the Enbitt, where Wetmore went up stairs.

Tt was necessary, he sald, to prove | that the Wetmore & Co. vouchers were traudulent, Judge Wyilesald he thouzht that upon that | Statement the testimony was admissible. | ‘The witness was shown the letters referred to by Mr. Worthington, dated August 18, 1883, and Aug- USE 28, 1883. “He sald he had never signed the let- | ters, and his belief was that they were forgeries. | Judge Wylie, havlag looked at the signatures, | sald {twas his opinion that they were forged. | Dr. Hudson was then recalled, and testified that the bureau had never, to his knowledge, had any | dealings with Wetmore & Co. He was of opinion | Uat the signatures on the two letters of August, | 1883, were forgertes. The letters, he thought, were in Kirkwood’s handwriting. Lieut. Samuel C. Lemley, U. 8.
