MORE RING SUITS, Why James H. Ingersoll Was Pardoned. WAS THERE A BARGAIN? The Chairmaker Must Tell the Truth. AFFIDAVITS AND EXHIBITS. The Old Suits Abandoned and New Ones Begun. Wheeler H. Peckham Gives Their History. FIGURES OF THE FRAUDS. Garvey and Keyser on the Stool of Repentance. “TI Got One-Third, They Got Two- Thirds.” James H, Ingersoll, the chairmaker and ex-Ring convict, having arrived in the city on Tuesday evening, went immediately to his father’s house, io East Twenty-first street, where he rematas at | present, only accessiole to his private and intl mate friends, and in charge of them and Mr. Wheeler H. Peckham. This gentleman, who 1s now in active direction of the Ring suits, called to see Ingersoll yesterday. The interview was a jong and no doubt interesting one, and Mr. Peck- bam was probably quite satisfied as he issued from the house, one of his most covering his expressive, bot not handsome pnysi- ognomy. In Mr. Peckiam this isthe only real sign of an overweening, self-satisfied inner con- sciousness, and shows tuat he is gradually ap- proaching the fruition of his hopes, delayed trom year to yeat. Durng the interview which be hud with the Ring millionaire he learned nothing, for le knows as much as the ex-convict does; but he became satisfied that there was NO FURTHER HITCH In the line of evidence necessary to recover some of the city’s stolen moneys. 18 anxious that tne public shoulda not know as mach as be knows, not, indeed, that bis client, The people of the city and county of New York, should even gain an tnsightinto the new mode which will now be adopted to prosecute wnat are known as tne “Ring suits,” Therefore Ingersoll Das been placed under the strictest injunction: Mot (0 speak of the manner of his release or bus! ess in the city with any one, and above all wirh any representatives of the press. Mr. Peckham is willing that any information for the press and public should come through nim and only througn bim. Ingersoli will submit to Peckham’s orders, becanse the latter freely states that if he should be indiscreet there are still several indictments banging over his head which can be brought up any moment and might send him back to the pieasant abode he has occupied at the expense of tne State during the past two years, It 1s understood that, on the other nund, if he obeys perfectly the injunctions. of counsel for the “Councii of Municipal Correc- tion,” a sert of zebra-like organization whica grew oat of the old Committee of seventy, he will be unmolested—that, indeed, this and the pardon Will be nis reward for turning State's evidence Against his old triends. ‘There has been another story going the rounds concerning the mode and reason of Ingersoil’s re- Jease, There is no doubt but a lawyer of this city, who has taken an active partin the prosecution Of the suits, and Whose mysterious absences from the city of late have been the subject of some comment, called in at Auburn State Prison during his ‘rips quite frequently, and he saw Ingersoll each time. It was then, no doubt, that the bar- aio was struck whica resuited in THE RELEASE. The story referred to, however, Is that another party was the real and direct means of releasing Ingersoll; that this man’s evidence was absolutely | necessary to form the connecting link in the shain of evidence against the Ring, and that he made a conaition when asked for his testimony Bhat he would only give it on oue condition—the pardon of Ingersoll. This story found many be- levers, but it has one troubie—that it is untroe, The man described as the mysterious party woo Knows so much ts Philip N. Rnodes, Mr, Peexham pronounced the story ridiculously untrue, and said toate Rhodes, unfortunately, knew nothing of the kind, for be was perfectly willmg to tell what he did know, and that had it been of any impor- tanee it would never have been necessary to re- Jease logersoli. Mr. Peckham stated also that Bhodes had been a clerk in Governor Tilden’s office, had given evidence in the Tweed case and iso in the Mali suit, and on those occasions, no flowdt, gave fully all that he was cognizant of. Mr. Peckham said that as faras he himself was con- cerned personally he had never made a bargain with anybody in his life, and he did not propose to begin now. He considered himseif as the main mover in the Ring suits, was cognizant of ali that ‘went on, butcertified that no bargain had been entered into with enybody. When asked whether this applied or not to logersoll he simply looked cross «nd said, “I mean what I say.” on the whoie a pleasant person to interview. He stated, however, that be was pushing the suits with all the vigor which was at his command, Evi- dence was being taken all the time. When Inger. soll’s testimony would be called for was a matter he could give no information upon. It might be very soon, and again it might not be jor a month Orso. Itall depended upon contingencies with whieh be had nothing to do, As to the ultimate triumph he ned no doubt of ir. It was sure to tome wheter late or early. A lawyer who has been more or less identified | with tue Ring suits said that be thought the move which had been made was on the whole @ good end necessary one, It Was impossible to reach these men except througt their friends. Such a man as Ingersoll knew mors than pny other of the tradesmen of the Ring and HIS TESTIMONY Was therefore most valuible. ire could be no @scape for him, and he would now have to go through the part assigned him or go back to State Prison, The old adherents of the Ring appear to think Giferentiy, however, Une who was high in office some years ago said that he knew lugersoli and he could never be made to believe that he would turn against his old friends ana associates, Peckham might consider he had got a “sure thing” but Ingersoll would contrive means to slip put of his hands yet. He did not believe a particie df the stories avout Mis turning State’s evidence pnd neither did any of those who knew him, A reporter o! (he HeKALD called at the house of Ingersoil’s lather yesterc afternoon and ia- quired for the ex-convict. The answer was that he Was quite sick—in bed, in fact—and tiat he tould only see bis more intimate irends, It is irue that Ingersull is sick, broken down, no doubt, dy the excitements and iatigaes of his fe during the past few days, and particularly by the Wretehed prison existence. He wili not be out ot the house if all probability for some days. He Will, however, observe the !njunction of secrecy | placea upon him to the letter, Hts appearance is fescribed as very muen alvered since he lert tne city. His musiache 1 shayed of, aud the oid urnine smiles | The lawyer, mowever, © He is not | pleasant smile has given way toa careworn look, which will have opportunities of increasing shortly. He speaks oopelully, however, and does not seem to realize the position in which he has placed himself, Those in the house are in tne belief that they are under surveillance at all times, as they probably are, for if Ingersotl shouid escape it would be an end to all the best laid plans of Wh x H, Peckham, Many {riends cailed upon Ingersoll yesterday and were freely admitted. THE NEW suirs, ow will be found the proofs—comprising am- davits, figures, schedules, &c,—upon whioh the Counell of Municipal Correction propose to base their suits in theif attempt to wrest from the members of the old Tammany Ring those portions traced to the city and county treasury. The task willbe @ herculean one, involving, as it does, sums to the extent of $6,198,957 85; but a perusal of the afMldavits given below will gatisiy the most seeptical that at least these suits are undertaken with @ reasonable chance of success. The afi- davits of our present Governor and several respect- some of those traders who consented to become the tools of Tweed and company for purposes of personal gain, can leave no doubt as to tne fact of the pillage. It will probably only be a question of legal technicality whether this money can be Tegained, ‘he affidavits are as lollow: ¥ DISCONTINUANCE OF THE OLD SUIT.
