A New Phase of the iragedy—Libbie Garrabrant Develops Another Theory—She “Peaches” on Her Lover, Van Winkle Bogert, and Says that He Committed the Murder—ogert Arrested, but Denies the Charge. ‘The investigation of the alleged poisoning of Ran- som F, Burroughs by his young mistress, Lipbie Garcabrant, was taken up by the Grand Jury yeater day morning aud the case was before them all day. ‘The proceedings of the Grand Inquest are cor- sidered secret, but a few facts have leaked out.

For some time past rumors have been rife that John ©, Brodhead, Treasurer of Ulster county, was a defaulter ina large sum. It now appears that these reports had theit origin in personal animosity, The tacts are as foliows:—Alter the late election a communication signed by ‘A Taxpayer” was pub- lished in oue.of the county papers calling for an investigation of the Treasurer's accounts; and upon the assembling of the Board of Supervisors a petition was presented asking for the appointment of a commitiee of investigation. The Hoard and tittoners being potitically prpowed to Mr. Brod- ead, it was granted. The Treasurer had for some time eeu dangerousiy ill, and while the investigation was in progress he Waa unconsciovs, and, consequently, unable to meet with them and protect his interests. “fhe report made was !acompiete, and refiectea narshiy upon him. On the ist of January Mr. Brodhead, still B poor health, went before the Board and made the favowing statement :— Last Friday I left my house for the first, after ness of over two months, and at once made a tho aiinatign of my accounts.

Agent, to the effect that we had underva the steel ratis and | fish plates that we tmported to the extent of at least ten per cent; we claim that George Brown aid not take any pains to find out the tratn in tais matter, and that, further, he showed himself con- spicuously ignorant of the nature of the steel rail trade; I think this because a comparison of our in. voices of steel rails with those ot 1mporters of other steel Talis would have shown that they were at least as high or even higher; the finding out of the duly on steel ratis and fish plates would have been very rats made had the proper inquiries been insti- tuted; the usual mode of procedure is when any- thing of this kind occu: made to the Coilector and tne proofs are veritied by hum or his deputy; then the Collector sends a letter tothe District Attorney, asking for a warrant; such ® Warrant, 1 our case, Mr. Murphy and his deputy assure us was never made; by thus avoiding the customary chanuels of action ‘the surest available means were taken to get mat- ters Into such a position as to result in a compro- muse; rather than permit our books and papers to be taken away we allowed the examiners to ex- amine into the matter iu our office, giving them the assistance of our clerks and one of our partners; alter three weeks’ examination we offe! to take the burden of proof upon ourseives if they would state thelr charges; we endured their presence for two weeks more, making in all five weeks, Guring which our business was go interrupted that 1 woul be impossible to estimate the loss to us; Independent Of the cosis for counsel fees our pecamary losses by this practical suspension of our business Lor five we amounted to a very great sum, and that we were subjectes to avery much greater loss than the gov. eruinent could have sustained even if Mr. Brown’s view of our business» should prevail; it woulda have been-a mucn more politic course for us to have aid $50,000 or $100,000 even and have avoided the ujuries resulting {rom this proceeding; during Uns examination the exammers were far irom conining themselves to an examination of the charges in the warrant; they extended their inquiries to all parts of our business from 186 to the date of the examl- nation now geing op, thus prolonging the ex- amination with the view, as we claim, of forcing w compromise; after a report had been callea for by the Secretary of the Trea- sury the report was postponed, and when a positive time for it had been fixed, and When Colonel Howe had agreed to call at our office and read the report, mstead of coming himself he sears note, instructing the examiners to exam- ine the sale and tie private drawers of the partners, on the ground that they might contain evidence against us; while this was golag on one of the ex- aminers whispered tis that we had vetter see Colonel Howe; on seeing Colone!
