THE ERIE INVESTICATION. The Astonishing Story Told by R. Archdall O’Doherty. How the English Shareholders Obtained Control of the .Boad—Directors and Officials Bribed to Resign—Senators Receiving $30,000— How the Money Was Distributed. JAY GOULD ON THE STAND. His Story of Last Year's Coup d’Btat— Tammany Tactics in the Executive Committee—How “Iago” Lane Worked on Both Sides. The Erie Investigation Committee appointed by whe Assembly held its first session in thia city oyesterday, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The investi- gation had previously been going on in Albany, but for the purpose of hastening the work and Securing the presence of witnesses, most of whom reside here, it was transferred to New York. “There were present yesterday Messrs, Babcock, ‘Chairman; Linceln, Wight, Crary and Carpenter. Sergeant-at-Arms Gering was also in attendance. R. ARCHDALL O'DOHERTY was the first witness called. The following is his ‘testimony :—I1 have no official connection with the Erie Railroad, and mever had; I have some ac- quaintance with the workiags of the company; in ‘the early part of 1872 F. A. Lane saw some of the Erie directers, ana arranged with them that they ‘should resign their positiens in consideration of receiving some pecuniary considerations; he com- municated with me and asked me if the English shareholders would pay for the control ef the Erie road; I telegrapned te McHenry the same smmight; his replies for some time were in dispate; he finally agreed to pay the amount; in a telegram, dated the 16th of February, he de- desired me to communicate with his agents }in New York: I did so, speaking to Mr. Barlow first; I first obtained some pledges frem Mr. Barlow that othe affair was to be kept secret, that the amount to be paid was not te be reduced, and that he (Mr. Barlow) was £0 have no share in the profits éf the transaction; the amount agreed to be paid was one anda half millions; the next procecding was made by Mr. Barlow, who wanted the profit di- vided among four instead of three; I refused togive Mr. Barlow ANY OF THE PROFIT, pointing out to him that he could make as much money as he pleased from his knowledge of what ‘was going to occur; he replied that he did not want to speculate in the stock, but he sent a tele- gram to McHenry, suggesting that it would be well to advance money to carry out my sugges- tions (the telegram, has been already published) ; «ne result was that everything was arranged ex- ‘cept the payment of the money; McHenry sent out a man by the name of Crouch, who was placed at my disposal; not thinking he could be of any use to me I introduced him to Messrs. Day & Bar- tow, to assist them is the lobbying operations which were being carried on in Albany; having been in the eniploy of the Erie Railroad before as @ sort of newspaper clerk he communicated with the Erie directors and learned Lane’s plans, which he IMPARTED TO GENERAL SICKLES; Sickles, nettied at being left out of our plans, made arrangements and set Crouch to fx matiers with our directors, so that they could tender their -Tesignations on the same terms obtained by Lane; Sickies then communicated with McHenry an offered to accomplish the same result ‘had proposea ior $300,000; McHenry ana his Iriends jailed to make their agree- ment with me; Sickles then saw Lane and told him if he would nét consent to accept the smaller amount his services would be alto- ether dispensed with; Lane was so frightened that he refused to put the amount in one of Bar- iow's telegrams, who also teok part in the breach of faith; ‘low then sent on for the money, and it was forwarded to Sickles, showing that the people on the other side would not trust Barlow; this exasperated Barlow and me algo, and I tele- grap! to McHenry :—‘Beware; present plans ‘will result in loss ef money;” I had made up my mind to go to Ji Gould im the mean- time and reveal the plot, I was so angry; McHenry telegraphed aski fer more Amiormation ; Bariow soothed my angry feelings and quieted me; on the llth of March we carried out our plan to remove Gould from the presidency and ive McHenry lute control of the Erie road; e events of that day are pretty well known; we t at Barlow’s house in the morming; there were were Messrs. Barlow, Lane, Stebbins, General ix, General McClellan and others; after settling our plans, Lane and myself pr led to the Erie ofices; Lane organized the board, and, by the dis- play of extraordinary PRESENCE OF MIND and courage accomplished the revolution ; the direc- tors.whom we purchased retired one by one; then Gould was removed irom his position, Geueral Dix ‘was elected President, W. W. sherman was ap- pointed Treasurer, 5S. L. M. Barlow counsel, and orders were givem to the officers to recognize no other authority; meantime Gould showed fight, the place was filled with rowdies and policemen, and for a day or two everything was in confusien; en the second day General Sickles appeared on tue scene and emtered into negotiations with Gould, which resulted in everything ee peaceabiy wettied; Geuld’s consideration for doing this was, no doubt, an at eee which Sickles signed re- ol Gout from all claims Ones yy Erie; the existence of any such ar- aim rangement was strenuous! dent but I have read the letter ron | General Sickles in which the agreement was alluded to; Lane, fear- con eed ‘the plot would fail, told J: Gould of the ‘whole plan, 80 that Gould was as well informed as vourselves when we walked in on the morning of ‘the 11th; Gould relied on an English banker ° CALLING HIMSELF LORD GORDON, who deceived not only Gould, but Horace Greeley, Tom Scott and Horace Clark; he claimed to con- trol a majority of Erie stock, and aaserted that he controlled Sickles; soon after that I went to Eng- land, having rejected an offer made by Bar- low take direction of measures which were about to be instituted for the re- covery of money from Gould, as I did not believe in the sincerity of Mr. Barlow; I saw Barlow pay by check $67,500 to Lane’s agent; Remy, ‘Thompson got $67,500; Archer got $40,000, Hilton $25,000, Utis, ‘Uhe Secretary, $25,000; White, Assistant Treasurer, 25,000; Simmons, a director, got, I think, $50,000; sdell and Sisson got nothing to resign; Rams- dell did not resi; he is still a director; that was all the amount was at first used to effect a B' got our money from McHenry; Bischoffsheim fu: nished the money to bay up the directors; McHenry was the owner of the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad, and for this reason wished to obtain control of Erie; on the eve of the last elec- tion, which took place in July, 1872, the Erie direc- tors placed in the hands of Bisctioffsheim & Gold- schmid, of London, consolidated bonds for negotia- tion to the extent of $6,000,446; the Boar: as then composed of men who had not been elected by the stockholders; the election toex place on the 9th of July; the net proceeds of the sale of the bonds was 6,000,080 that would give about ninety-four and one-third per cent i currency for every $100 in gold; on account of these net pro- seeds Bischotfsheim has para to the company some- thing over $4,000,900, leaving @ large balance, which, I believe, THE BRIE RAILROAD COMPANY WILL NEVER RECEIVE, as the London bankers will doubtless repay them- selves for their former outlay; the loan was issued ander @ centract made on the 8th of May, 1872; the -contract is binding on the Erie Railway untii the year 1920; the mertgage under which these bonds ‘were issued was for a total sum of $30,000,000 in gold; but 23,000,000 of this was required to re- Place mortgages sizeady in existence; the amount realized by Bischoffsheim & Goldschmid was about $900,000 in | on the sale of the bonds; in addi- tion they have got one per cent half geaniy on the interest; General Dix was ‘resident of the road at the time the contract was made; I yublished in the Times an Erie voucher, showing ‘hat Themas Barlow had drawn $59,000, spparently to pay General Sickles for services rendered by him, (The voucher was here produeed. back 01 the voucher you will see that t! ts chal to the transportation account, amount was for fuel and oil; amount of Sickles’ hotel bills paid by the Erte Railway was $35,000; a 1ew days aiter Barlow drew the $69,000 he drew an additional: $10,000 for lawyers’ oy United States Marshal Sharpe received over $1,' for services to be rendered; Sharpe got an order from the Treasury Department in Wash- ington to seize the ks of the Ere Railroad, but Secretary Boutwell rescinded the order before it was carried into effect; McHenry told me he had given Sickles 445) sura to secure the passage oftie billat Albany ve no personal knowledge of how it was used, but I know that $30,000 was used in March, immediately after the coup @état; Archer, the Vice President of the Erie Railroad Company, was then in Albany, and he authorized the ree of $6,000 each to six Senators; I heard W.

After Recess, The committee reassembled at four o'clock and called Jay Gould to the stand. ‘The examination was conducted by Mr. Whitney, who was evidently too young to worm very much out of the wily ex- resident. Mr. Gould, however, spoke very freely and old all he wanted to tell in a nonchalant manner, Meanwhile quietly studying the cailbre of his ex- aminers and wearing throughout a peculiar, sar- donic smile, especially when telling how he ad- journed a meeting of the Executive Committee just previous to the @état of March, 1872. His testimony was substantially us follows :— Before the meeting of the directors on the 11th of March I had an interview with Mr. Duncan; there was nothing said about my resignation or any otner member of the Board; Lsaw Mr. L, P. Mor- ton at his office in Broad street; Iwent there be- cause he was a large stockholder; the purport of our conversation was about the p! mme to be puraien. he felt favorably inclined to the use of is name on the new rd; [think I told im 1 was in correspondence With Mr. J. 8, Mo! ; other names were mentioned, which I think- are substantially the same as referred to in my letter to Mr. Morgan; before I ceuld have received an answer the Duncan negotiation came up, so 1 did not receive any answer; I met Mr. Duncan at his house; we talked about the reorganization and the conditions on which it should be carried out; the only condition, I think, waa that all the large inter- ests which feed the road should be represented; there was nothing said about any money to be paid to anybody; the matter was to be voluntary on the part of the outgoing members; | met with Messrs. Duncan, Barlow and anether within a day or two after; we met at Mr. Barlow’s house; it was either the last week in November or first week in December; WE AGREED TO HAVE A NEW BOARD; the names mentioned for the new Board were Erastus Cornipg. E. D. Morgan, George P. Alden, W. B. Duncan, Levi P, Morton, John Ewen, Asa Packer, Horace F. Clark, J. 5. Morgan, of London, and Dr. Eldridge, of Elmira; hn} own name was to be added ; we discussea the propriety of the change and it would suit interests in Kurope; we thought this programme was so eminently proper and in the interests of the company that no gentleman would stand in the way of it, especially as the financial matters were pressing, and I eed, in order to facilitate the matter, should it be necessary, to have a law passed repealing the classification; Mr. Duncan was about going to Europe, but we agreed to goon; I controlled about twenty-four millions of dollars of stock; we thought none of the existing Board would reiuse to comply, but if they did I would have a law passed repealing the Classification act; there was no other remedy pro- pee, and if this were not done—why, it would e & Very good thing for the ‘ins’ and A VERY BAD THING FOR THE OUTS; it was agreed I should prepare a letter, embodying the names of the new directors, for Mr. Duncan to take to Europe; I had @ conversation with Mr. Lane shortly after my first conversation with Mr. Duncan; Lane told me there was a great con- spiracy; the whole force of United States marshals and @ majority of the directors were purchased and bound by an oath; this was in February; the road was to be handed over to the Atlantic and Great Western road; there were one or two vacancies; somebody was to t up and move to fill these vacancies; {think Mr. Lane told me $300,000 was the price of certain men; Nathaniel R. Sands was one, 8. C. Hall was another; Mr. Hall had a grudge against me on account of & contract in which he was interested and which 1 opposed; Mr. Simons was to receive $50,000, Mr.J. White $25,000, Mr. Otis to receive I don’t remember what; Ramsey, to a surprise, was the hardest mam he had to bargain with; Mr, Henry Thompson was to recelve git 500; the money was to be paid, so Lane said, by the Atlantic and Great Western or Bischoff heim and McHenry; he said they counted on him (Lane) ; he said he had always been true to’ me, and they had not money enough to change hi the pretext for the meeting was to be the settie- ment of a schedule between the Erie and Atlantic and Great Western; committees kad been GA pointed and settled the matter previously, but it ‘was stated that the Courts of Ohio required the seal of the company to be affixed by order of the 1 was to call the meeting for that pur- pose; he sometimes talked one way aad some- times another; he pretended to be_ worki against them and in my favor; the thing woul block itse!f, as without him they would not have a majority; he said he acquiesced, so as to know what was going on, to GET INTO THE ENEMY'S CAMP; Sickles was to engineer the movement; Mr. E. K. Willard came to me in February and asked how I woald like to give up my position; told me that [I was worn out by great application to business, and if Il would give over the control, or resfgn and ac- aeons, in @ change, he was authorized to sta! that $500,000 would be placed to my credit; he w: not at liberty to state by whom he was authorized; an attempt was then made to get a meeting of the Executive Committee, just as Lane said; this was in the fore part of March; I called a meeting of the Executive Committee; Messrs. Lane, Ramsdell, Archer and myself were the committee; they had the majority; the programme was that! was to resign ;,they would take the resigmation before a meeting of the Board to be called for the purpose and so get control; I had the resolu- tion confirming the settlement in my possession ; [ r3 the resolution, it was carried and I adjourned he meeting 80 quickly that their programme fell through; the adjournment was in the usual way; I thought I heard most yeas, so declared the meet- ing adjourned, got up and went out; I don’t know who made the motion to adjourm; I thought! heard it, 801 put it and declared it carried. Wp explana- tion was given in such inimitable style as to cause the statd members of the committee to laugh aloud; Mr. Gould polished his glossy mustache first on one side and then on the other with the head of his walking stick, varying the performance occasion- ally by half closing hisleft eye with the aforesaid stick and taking a bead through his eyelashes and over the stick head at the members of the commit- tee and the young man who acted as counsel.) The next step was a call for a meeting signed by Mr. Archer, which was ne call at all,as it shoul have been made by the President at the request of @ certain number of directors; JAY GOULD'S PLAN. My theory was that,as the meeting was informal, the most they ‘could do was come together and re- sign; everything they undertook to do in filling vacancies would be void; the only resignations wouid be those of the conspirators, so that the CM legal directors left would be my own friends an those who did not attend; the only legal directors would be Messrs. Ganson, Sherw Drake, Dr. Eldridge, Archer, Ramadell and myself; 1 knew the meeting was to be called the evening before, or rather Saturday evening, the 9th; on et the 11th, I called a meeting for Tuesday, the 1: of those gentlemen I have named; at that meeting we should have filled up the vacancies caused py the resignations of the day before; the meeting would be of my friends, for I had controlas per- fectly as ever; when we held one side of the build- ing by force and they the other Dr. Eldridge came tome and urged a settlement; said he nad had @ conversation with Mr. Barlow, and he had no doubt asatisiactory arrangement could be made; Iimmediately acquiesced ; had a second inter- view with Barlow, and they agreed to accede to my terns 5 as memorandum Neg | og terms was ly in my hani ing, partly im Mr. Sher- Wood's, and, I think, some in Sickles’; General Sickles took it; I never saw it since; he said he had placed it et he archives of the company; the substance was t! everything that had been done the day before should be void; I wasto call a meet- ing for the following day of the legal directors, and the vacancies were to be filled by these men; they were to retain all the employés whe had been loyal to me; the advances I had made, amounting to $1,000,000 OF $1,500,000, should be repaid; the bonds I was on should be relieved, and I was to hold the releases of the company which I had in m: asession, and the counsel, Messrs. Shearman eld, were to carry on the existing suits; I had an injunction ready to serve at any time, and | made up my mind to let the matter go to that point and stop the meeting; I had placed my resignation in the hands of Mr. Greeley; he knew all about this movement of Sickles, andI placed my resignatien im his hand to be used at the proper time; Mr. Lane said it might be necessary to use money with Sickles, as SICKLES WOULD GO ANY WAY that would pay best; 1 donot know of any money aid in this matter; within a week of the larch, at the meeting I called, I closed all connection with the company, and have not been near the offices since; I think the Dix Board,which ‘was the ad ¢ Board, made @ contract with Bischotisheim for the sale of some of the company’s stock ; I made a contract with J. 8. Morgan embrac- ing a negecenee of these so-called consolidated mortgage bonds. To a member of the Committee—During the ses- sion of '72 I went up one morning; was there a coupie of hours, most of which time I consumed tn & my dinner and getting ready to come ome ; I resisted the of the Classification Repeal act up to a ce! ‘ime; I only took such measures as would make it public; I did not give a dollar to any Senator or any member; | only used the evidences of the pomsarity. of the management of the emreey ag testified to by peopie along the line of the road; I know nothing of my own knowl- edge as to id for any railroad ; t, a8 @ generai thing, into other people's business. ‘hen I went up to Albany I ‘went fer a ratiroad ride and a little relief, and to mak personal inspection of the situation; I met Senator Madden . Baker, of Troy; won't swear that I did not see else did not register my name; if I had publiciy and paraded myself, it might have been said I was actuated by improper motives, you know—(here the committeemen grinned as if they did know)— so I went up qty. and took & view of the situa- tion; I was not in the Board when a resointion was passed to pay $30,000 to William H. Vanderbilt for expenses attending legislation at Albany. Mr. Gould, at the close of his eXamination, most complacentiy bade the committee “good morning” (it was exactly nine minutes acter six P. M.) and withdrew, after which the commitiee adjourned to meet again this morning at tep o'clock, SHIPWRECKS.

The drag was immediately got out to bring the ship head to sea. This was accomplished, and efforts were made to repair the pipe. These efforts were partially successful, but the gales still continuing Captain Stark decided to return to Bermuda—only eighteen miles had been made in the last twelve hours.
