6 PACIFIC MAIL. Irwin at Last Discloses the Names of His Tools. Schumaker in an Embarrass- ing Position. psd ceca A REMARKABLY VACANT MEMORY. Dan Voorhees and Boyd Winchester Deny Complicity. A eculiarly Profitable Game at Cards. WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 1875, ‘The Ways and Means Committee met at thirty minutes past ten this morning to continue the Pacific Mail subsidy investigation, when Congress. man J. Hale Sypher, of Loutstana, appeared and requested permission to testiiy im order that he might clear up @ potut in Commodore Garrison's testimony regarding the “list, whicn the latter had seen containing the names of @ number of Congressmen. SYPHBR EXPLAINS, Witness swore that no list whatever was fur- Bished by him to Commodore Garrison, or any other person; meeting Garrison accidentally one day he stepped into a commitie room to converse with him and in the course of conversation asked bim what strength his Brazilian subsidy bul had; Garrison spoke confidently of the prospects and, mentuoned especially the strong vote he expected for it from the Hast and New York. Garrison then inquired about the prospects of the New Urieans and Mexi- can Steamship dill. Mr. Sypher replied that the Louisiana delegation were united om the measure, ana, having 4 pencil in nis hand, he proceeded to | p Jot down tuetr names, together with the names of perhaps twenty other Southern members who might confidently be expected to support such a Soutnern measure. Cut of this, said Sypher, grew the whole story about the famous list. But tnatl showed Mr. Garrison or anyoody else a list of Members who could be controlled, &c., is abso- latety false. passage he read from Mr. Garrison’s testimony to | the effect that he (Sypher) never asked Mr, Garri- son ior anything and never intimated that he Wanted a dollar for himself or anyboay else. As to the report that he bad made threats egainst Mr. Garrison, ~itness swore that he never made any except purely to jest. His friend McKay ‘esed to jok» with ulm about Garrison’s testimony, and he once responded, jocularly, “If Garrison comes dow: bere and swears to any Iles about me Pu blow the top of bis head uff.” His reiations with Mr. Garrison were friendly. In conclusion he swore that he lias no knowledge of the use of any money by tne Pacific Mail Company, or any agent thereol, to influence legisiation. IRWIN GIVES NAMES. Richard B. Irwin, baving taken bis seat at the tavle, Mr. Dawes said that his former examina- don broke off with tnis 1oterrogatory, viz. :— “Will you give to the committee the uames of the per-ous Weom you employed in Washington to Procure the subsidy commonly valled tne Pacific Maul Steamship suosidy ¢”’ Irwin answered:—I will; and I ask that my @Xamimarion to-day be as brief possibie, as I have been sick, and am suffering with nausea this Moruing.

A, Winchester never received @ dollar from me im any Way, siape Or manner; that geutleman was throughout opposed tv the subsidy bill; there is pot a word of truth im tne report, nor did I talk with Mr. Wincuester on the subject. Witness never indorsed any check or certificate for any member of Congress. Mr. Koberts—t}ou said you could not recollect of having ingorsed a check at Jay Cooke & Co.'s bank; then now can you say you never indorsed one jor any member o! Congress? A.

The adjourned inquest touching the fatal shoot- ing of William MeMulien while guarding the prop- | | erty of nis employer near Tarryiown, Westches- | ter county, on the evening of the 6th , inst, was resumed before Coroner Bassett and a jury im the village named on | Wednesday evening. District Attornev Robert Cochran was present for the purpose of assisting the Coroner In bts efforts to elicit some circum- stance that might furnish even a remote clew to | the discovery of the murderer. | A few witnesses were examined, but their testl- | Mony was substantially a repetition of that already published in the HBRALD, excepting that Ellen Walsh, @ domestic in the house of Captain | Herron, deposed that deceased, aiter being shot, | told her that the man who fired the pistol at him | had his face coveres, Deeming it useless to fur- | , ther protract the oficial taquiry, in the absence of | | any jurther cestimony wiich could throw git on | | the critue, the jury reudered # verdict setting forth that deceased came to his death from a | pistol shot wound received in the abdomen, at the bands of some person or persons unknown to them. Various rumors have been circulated in the neighborhood of the tragedy regarding the probva- bie wotive for putting McMuilen out of the way. | Jealousy and revenge were in turn enlisted by the ruralists to nerve the armof the murderer, and even the Inevitable ‘women’? was made to figure | Prominently tn the foul deed. Divested of these | mythical surroundings, however, the killing of poor | McMullen stands out an unprovoked, atrocious. | murder, by one who was about to rob the house ot | deceased’s employer. Tt has been satd that the switchman stationed on the Huason River Ratl- | | road, in front o: the house where deceased was shot, encountered two strange men at about nine p’clock On the same evening, and that taese men | dre arevolver on Pim when he attempted to | prevent them jrom boarding & passing iretght | man hefore the Coroner's jury lave proved futile, It is understood that he denies the story in toto, AS an incentive to the ferreting out of the guilty party or parties Distitct Attorney Cochran has written to Governor Tiiden requesting lim to offer & reward of $500 for the apprevension o1 the murderer, There is no doubt that the Governor | Wid offer the reward, as he bad previousiy inti. | mated that he would do so tl the District Attorney deemed if expedient. ‘The remains o1 McMullen, which nave been lying in the receiving vauit of Sleepy Hotlow Cemetery since his death, were on Wednesday lorwarded to ; his relatives in St. Lawrence county, TRIAL OF DR. BICARDO, OF PASSAIC, N. J., FOR LEGED FIENDISH EFFORT TO COVER UP ‘TRACKS—MORPHINE THE WEAPON. The trial of Dr. Norton 0. Ricardo, of Passaic, purpose of covering up traces of malpractice) a little boy named Warner Schaffer, commenced yesterday in tbe Paterson Uourt, beiore Judge | Barkalow and an intelligent jury. Messrs, Jona. than 8. Dixon, of Jersey Clty, and James Evans and Robert J. Hopper, of Paterson, appeared as | | counsel for Dr. Ricardo, and the prosecution was conducted by County Prosecutor A, B. Woodruff, assisted by Mr. 8. Tuttle, of Paterson, The latter opened the case and briefly referrea to the facts, which the State proposed to prove, Some two and a half years ago, he said, the little son of Mr. Senaffer, living at Passaic, fell and | treated by Dr. Ricardo, aud the arm had to be subsequently amputated in consequence of the | alleged malpractice of the paysician, Dr. Ricardo. | Acivil suit Was orought by the parents ior dam- ages against the doctor, which resuited in a ver- dict of $5,000 damages for the plainui The pres- | ent trial was brougnt apon an indictment iound by the Grand Jury against Dr. Ricardo sor asgault abd battery with attempt to kill, in that he gave the boy medicine calculated to take his life in order to cover his malpracuce. One of the neigh- bors was cailed in, at the Doctor's request, to | | watch with the chilu, and tnis neighbor Was told that the child would die about a certain time that nigot. Morphine powders were ordered to Le given at certain hours during the night. Tne chile survived toat night, Which seemed to greatly | surprise tte Doctor upon his arrival the next morn- ing. Lhe next nignt the same wa:cher was dalled 4u, and ve was Lold that the chtid would certainly die that night, und the worpbine powders were ordered to ve given azain. The Doctor went to ab undertaker and fold nim that the ciild woald die that night and made arrangements with this | undertaker tor the burial, cardo then told the Watcher, the unoertaker and the mother of the ehila, that if the cuild died, not to remove the | baLdages, as it would be caugerous for them todo so. ihe reason that the child did not die was because the powders were not ail given as directed, only a portion of them belog given, the atteudant and tie mother being alarmed ut the excessive size of the dose. Seeimg that tne ciild did pot die, Mrs. Schafer sent | for Dr. Watson, an old iamiiy physician, who | examined the wounded arm and found tiai it bad mortifed and was partially d the flesh aly fal ing off trom the bone. ‘The arm was am. | putated, and the unicrtunate iittie boy (vow ten Yeurs old) recovered and was in the court room yesterday, 1t was also alleged that Dr. Ricardo told Dr. Watson, iu a sort ol professional conil- dence, that he “had given the end twenty-four | €raius oi morphine wore than it took to Kill Jim , Fisk! These were the facts tuat the counsel for | the State said he proposed to prove. | Tae Schafer boy was examined yesterday as to | | the preaking and ainputation of his arm; apd Dr, | Kinne, woo visited ine chiid after Dr. Ricardo’s | dismissal was eXamined as to the propriety of Ricardo’s treatment, both Kinne and Ricardo | beionging to the hom@opathic school of practice, | dhe Doctor's testimony was hard upon Ricardo, | and the feneral opinion seemed to be that the prospects were decidedly biack lor the dcfeudant 1D this c.8e. | THE FIGHTING FREEHOLDERS. | | ANOTHER DISGRACEFUL SCENE—MORE START- | LING DISCLOSURES—THE GRAND JURY AP- | PEALED To, ae | It was manifest in the proceedings of the Board | ol Chosen Freeholders of Hudson county, in | Jersey City, yesterday that tne days of that body | are numbered, Mr. Gibson offered a resoiution recommending the passage of a bill by the Legis- lature reducing the number of Frechoiders to nine, one irom each Assembly district and one from the county atlarge.
