Green and Guy, had before it the case of Private Joseph Harper. charged with having, in the case of Mary Alice Belt against Eugene Belt, violated rule 9, para- graph 9, ofthe police manual, by giving false testimony before the commission taking evi- dence in this elty. Mr. H. Wise Garnett ap- peared to prosecute the cbarges, and Mr, Har Per was represented by Mr. C8. Moore. ‘There are nine specifications, setting ont that Harper testified that he had been sent in cltl- zen’s dress by Lieut, Skippon, from the third recinet, in the winter of 1879, to wateh hou 706 L street, which was suspected of being “ loose house; that he conspired with W. T. Benton to give false testimony in the case; that he testified to seeing © woman atthe door who looked like the photograph of Mrs, Belt, &c., Knowing such testimony to be false. Col. W. G, Moore testified that the reputation of those’ who occupied the house in question Was excellent, and that there was no occasion for the house being watched. Dr, A. H.Witmer, of the Government hospital for the insane, testified that Lieut. Skippon had been an inmate of that Institution since June 19, 1879, and had not been out during that time. Mr. Harper, on hearing the charges and specl- fications, said_he was guilty of some, not of others, Dat he fled a plea of not guilty. Mr, W. H. Smith, the stenographer who took Mr. Harper's testimony, was sworn, and read Harper's deposition, which is to the'effect that in 1879 he was detailed in citizen's dress by Lieut. Skippon to watch the house, and did so; that he went first and saw alndy at the door, who looked like theone whose photograph was exhibited, avd that Officers Lamb and Benton told him who lived in the house; that he went A second time ou # like errand and saw a hack drive up to the door, and so reported. Mr, John A. Carson testified that he had re- sided in the neighboriiood of the house men- tioned since 1878, and the reputation of the lady and the house was excellent, and there were no houses of doubtful character in that aeighborhood. From the polnt from where Harper said he saw the lady in the door to the house an air line would be fully 150 feet. ‘The house hid a bay window, and it would be dimti- cult to see a person in’ the doorway. In the dusk it would be impossible for him to dis- tnguish features at that distance, Mr. William Woodville testifled that he lived in the house in question; that the reputation of the lady and her houst was first-class; never saw Mrs, Godfrey or heard of her belng ‘in the house.

These officials when near Lurin, thirty miles southward of Lima, were captured by cavalry outposts,and immedi- ately’ sent to the capital under guard. On ar- riving at the police office they were subjected toacareful search, and @ most important dis covery followed. "On their persons were found letters in Caceres’ hand writing to several of his principal partizans here and to his wife, and other communications to be forwarded to Araquipa, all of which con- tained information most damaging to the rebel cause. The police setto work and before morning the guardhouses were filled with prisoners implicated in the schemes of the mountain general. A letter from Caceres di- rected to A.
