The Charge Against Secretary Bristow False. THE SPENCER INQUIRY. Marsh Guaranteed Immunity on His Return. A SERIOUS BRIBERY GASE,: FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, Wasmxorox, March 18, 1876. THE CHARGE AGAINST SECRETARY BRISTOW UTTERLY FALSE—THE STORY REFUTED. The story about Secretary Bristow, which the HyraLD published to-day, was naturally the topic of conversa- tion in hotels and public places. When Mr. Bristow heard of it he went directly to the room of the Com- mittee on War Expenditures and demanded a thorough investigation of the whole matter. Those of the com- mittee present asked him to delay until Monday, as they could not get the committee together to-day. The Secretary ts determined to have the whole matter thoroughly examined at once. The report of the case, including the decision of the Court of Claims, is con- tained in tho ninth volume of the Court of Claims Re- porta. Mr, Bristow’s only connection with it was as counsel to make the argument before the Court. Tho facts were gathered and the brief prepared by an attorney in the West, T. J. Fuller, and Mr. Bristow, then practicing law and hold- Ing no public position, accepted a retainer in the case, simply to argue it before the court, and had nothing whatever to d@ with the collection of the money or any work in the department relating to it. It comes out here that the story in different shapes has been quietly circulating here for a number of days, It is said that & democratic politician mentioned it to Mr, Beck, of Kentucky, when he was here ton days ago, and that Mr. Beck replied that there was nothing in it; that the men who had made the claim were personally known. to him ard wero | prominent and respectable people, Ropresentative Blackburn, of Kentucky, Mr, Beck’s successor in the House, and also a democrat, says ho is familiar with the character of the people who made the claim, and that there is no doubt whatever that the claim was perfectly just and proper. He adds that this is the only case, so far as he knows, in which Mr. Bristow ever appeared in the Court of Claims, and that he notified the claimants that he would do nothing to help the claim through the department, he agreeing only to make the argument before the Court. Mr. Bristow received for bis labor in the caso ten per cent of tho claim, which is ausual fee in such cases, He received nothing more than this, and any story that he did, or that he used any influence in the departments or elsewhere to pre- vent the case from being appealed, or that he received an exorbitant fee for his services, is false, FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasntxetox, March 13, 1876, CLARK'S POST OFFICE COMMITTEE UNEARTH A A Bribery cAsE—$40,000 FoR THE sUP- PRESSION OF INVESTIGATION. Mr. Barlow, of Barlow, Sanderson & Co, postal con- tractors for Colorado and New Mexico, testified before Colonel Clark’s Post Office Committee to-day that in 1872 ho paid $40,000 to suppress investigation in Washington. He gave the money to ono Farrar, now dead. He could remember only the names of persons who have sinde died. The committee was known as the McKibben Investigating Committee, and several men wero guilty of bribery. Barlow's ex- amination will be continued on Monday. GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, gE Se Wasnixctox, March 18, 1876. MARSH WILLING TO RETURN PROTECTED BY AN OFFICIAL GUARANTEE OF IMMUNITY—IT IS GIVEN HIM. . Yesterday evening the President received a commn- nication from the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives asking that proceedings be taken to secure the return to Washington of the witness Marsh, now in Canada, This letter was referred by the Presi- dent tothe Attorney General, who informed the com- mittee that proper steps had already been taken to secure the attendance before the committee of this wit- ness, and that already an agent of the department was in Montreal with this object in view, Late last night the Attorney General received atelegram from his agent an- nouncing that he had been in conference with Marsh and that the latter was perfectly willing to return here, but required additional guarantee that he would be safe from embarrassments, and what he desired was the | issue of a fall pardon, in which case he would imme- | diately come. After conference with the President this was determined upon, and Attorney General Pierrepont telegraphed to that effect to the representative of his | department, The pardon will be ready for him to take | to Marsh early next week, The government olliger will leave Montreal to-day for the purpose of obtaining 1t and will return at once to convey it to Marsh, who will on Its receipt proceea hither without any delay what- ever. The Attorney General was with the Judiciary Committee to-day and stated this fact to its members. The Attorney General this afternoon received a tele- gram from the person who is negotiating with Marsh, He says the witness also desires immunity for his wife as a condition of his return, This will also be granted. The agent is now in New York. THE SPENCER INVESTIGATION — INTERESTING DEVELOPMENTS. The Senate Committee on Privfeges and Elections this afternoon continued its investigation of tho charges concerning Senator Spencer's election by the ‘Alabama Legislature. Robert Barber, a clerk of the House of Delegates of the so-called ‘Court House Legislature’? which elected Mr. Spencer, testified that the Jatter promised to have bim appointed Marsbal when General Healey’s term should expire; this promise was made long after ho had begun to labor for Mr, Spencer's interests and was a voluntary offer; the night before Mr. Spen- cer’s election witness kept guard over two | colored republican members named Carson and Maur, who, !t was feared, were disaffected and not un- likely to go over to the so-called “Capitol (democratic) Legislature” an@ break the quorum at the Court | House; be staid at their boarding house all night and in the morning took them to Spencer's room atthe hotel, where, in Spencer’s presence, he told them that Spencer had made up his mind to give them an office; | Mr. Spencer said he could not make a direct promise, but there was a route agency vacant on the Western Railroad and they should be provided for, Q. Was anything said about how they should vote? A. There was no conversation on that point; they subsequently went to the Court House and voted for General Spencer, but they bad been instructed to do | this by the conventions which nominated them; wit- ness had understood that they had been offered $2,500 to abandon the Court House Loeglisiature and go to the Capitol ‘The witness was asked If Mr, Spencer gave him any money to aso on @ journey he took to Lowndes county. To this qnestion ex-Senator Carpenter, counsel for Senator Spencer, objected, taking the ground that no proof can be given before the committee, showing that anyone had been bribed; that bribery was punishable by the State, The witness was directed by the Chairman (Senator Morton) to answer the question, and he did so by Stating that Senator Spencer furnished one of the party $300 for expenses; the reason they went there was to defeat a man named Stanwood, who was an enemy of Spencer; Moore, the colered man who was elected in his place, was aiso intrusted to go into other counties and induce persons to run as independent candidates, the expenses of the canvass to be paid by Spencer or the State Committee, he forgot which; remembers that Spencer told him to go. A number of letters written by Spencer and Hinds in relation to the oflice mentioned were then identified by the witness and the offer made to put them in evi- dence. Mr. Carpenter objected to the letters, arguing that no conspiracy has as yet been shown between Spencer and Hinds. Senator Morton said the committee had decided to allow the letters to go in as evidence. , After the reading of the letters, Mr, Carpenter said he would make another objection—that the letters were irrelevant. ‘The first letter from Hinds to Barber, dated May 6, 1873, Set forth that ‘He would take caro of friends first, and that matters look shameful for all expecting Appointinents, and I think it tn my power to put out Healey.”’ The next letter was similar in import, add- ing that he would like to get the full name and ad- dress of every republican member of the Legislature, as he desired tosend them some important documents &e. The next letter enclosed a temporary appoint- ment for Barber in the Custom House in Mobile, tell- | ing him that the republicans were sure to carry the | State, and that they were going to realize a big vote, Mr. Carpenter again objected to the letters, General Morgan said he would show that this tem- porary appointment was given to Barber to support him until he received a better one, and that it was un- derstood that he was to render no services to the gov- ernment whatever. Senator Morton said, for the present, the letters re- ceived would lay on the table, Mind if they were con- nected in any way they would be admitted. H 19, 1876.—QUADRUPLE SHEET. THE HARLEM MURDER. BARTELL COMMITTED BY CORONER ELLINGER The atrocious murder committed in Harlem last Friday afternoon continued to cause great excitement yesterday in the neighborhood, All day long crowds lingered near the house where the crime was com- mitted. Notwithstanding the presence of several policemen, great difficulty was experienced in keeping off the more persistent spectators. Frequent threats of lynching the prisoner were beard, but this feeling seemed to die out toward evening when the verdict of the Coroner’a jury was announced. The main facts of the case, and the relations between the deceased and her murderer, were detailed in yestcrday’s Ienato, The theory of the police still points to the probability of a foul outrage having been attempted on the person | of Mrs, Hammond by Bartell, the ensuing struggle being terminated by her murder. | Captain Robbins, of the Twenty-third precinct police, took the prisoner yesterday morning before Judge Wandell, of the Hariem Police Court, The latter, however, having no power in the caso before the action of the Coroner's jury, declined to take apy action in the case, Ur. Goldschmidt, Deputy Coroner, gave a permit early in the morning for the removal of the body frow Mr, Freeman's house, No. 2,114 Second avenue, where tho horrible trageay took’ place, ‘The police who guarded the body reiused to allow its removal unless they received a Written or verbal communication from Coroner Ellivger himself, The Louse where the murder occurred in a two story and basement trams house, painted white, occupned by the family of Mr, Freeman, General Morgan (to the witness)—Tell us whether | you afterward asked Senator Spencer for the office which he promised you? Mr. Carpenter—To that I object, Senator Morton, after argument, said the committee would allow the question to be asked, Q. (By Mr. Morgan)—After the election of Mr, Spen- cor, did you ask him for the marsbalship or any other office? it; I have letters from him stating that I should have the marshalship (witness produced the letters); they | were received by mea year after his election; I have tried to forget all about this matter and fam here | Against my will; it is very unpleasant for me to give | Mis testimony, and, although [ was not ordered to | bring these letters here, have brought them for the | purpose of sustaining my testimony and character, as T understood that an attempt would be made to break them down, One of the letters from Spencer was dated November 24 (no year was given), saying, “Healey’s time soon ex- pires and you shail have the place,” and that the oflice would be worth $5,000 a year. The letter adds that in case the United States government has a war with Spain, Alabama will come in for a good share of patronage, as he (Spencer)is on the Miluary Committee of the Senate and can thus get many offices, and teilivg Bar- ber that he could get him a good place in the army it he wanted one, Senator Morton said for the present this letter would also lie on the table temporarily. Mr. Carpenter objected to the letter going in at all. The witness said he was appointed as Inspector of Customs at Mobiio at a salary of $2 60 per day, al- though he never applied for it; thinks that Senator Spencer got the appointment for him; never went to Mobile, and never rendered any services, but drew his pay; held the position for three months, The witness having mentioned a rumor oe had heard, that the dem- ocrats offered a member named Jones $500 to Peave the State Legislature and break its quoram, was asked whether Senator Spencer did not give Jones money to remain, In reply, he stated that in the presenco of Spencer he once proposed that it would be well to offer Jones $2,500, or anything else, to prevent his going, but Spencer did not consent to any such proposition, It was agreed to send to Lowndes county for a certain intimate friend of Jones, which was done, and this friend’s intluence kept Jones quiet. The witness was then asked what he knew about anybody's offering a Mr, Mansell an imducement to leave the Capitol Legislature so as to break a quorum. The question was objected to, and a lengthy discussion ensued as to whether it is competent in this investiga- tion to inquire into the organization or non-organiza- tion of this State House Legislature which did not elect Spencer. The committee closed their doors for | consultation, and tially, by a strict party vote, decided that it would not be competent, When the decision was announced General Morgan, counsel for the memorialists, insisted that a great } wrong had been done in ruling out this branch of his case, and he asked that the whole matter be remitted to the Senate for its opinion on the question in- volved, The Committee then, at five o’clock P. M,, ad- | journed. The Committee have agreed to admit any and all evidence of the bribery of any member of the Legisla- | tare by any person whether with or without the | knowledge of Spencer, but will, of course, reserve tho question whether Spencer 1s-affected by any particular | act of this kind that may be proven. CONKLING’S STRENGTH IN NEW YORK AS A PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT. Senator Conkling has received a telegram from A. B. Cornell, Chairman of the New York Republican State | Central Committee, saying:—'Every Assembly dis- | drict in the city of New York has elected delegates in | favor of your nomination for President, This is the | answer of the republicans of New York to the impu- dent declarations of the Union League Club. The dele- | gates trom the balance of the State aro almost unani- mous for you."? H MARSH RETURNS HOME. Late yesterday afternoon information reached the | Heranp.office that Caleb P. Marsh would be in New | York m the course of the evening, At eight o'clock a | reporter called at Mr. Marsh’s residence, No. 30 West | Pilty-seventh street, and asked to seo him. The ser- vant said, “Mr, Marsh, the owner of the house, is not here.” The reporter asked, ‘Who is in?’ “There is nobody here,” the servant said, “but Mr. William Marsh, and he 1s just going out,”” “Who 1s that?” the reporter inquired. The servant replied, “Mr Marsh’s son. The reporter asked to see him, and /n afew momonts a gentleman about fifty years of age, somewhat above the | medium height, of slight build, oval faced and wearing | agray mustache, appeared. In reply to the reporter's inquiries the gentleman, alter a moment's reflection, answered :— ““] will say nothing at all, I prefer to put it in that | way.” As the reporter turned to leave the gentleman shook | bis bead significantly, and with asmile added myste- | ously :— “Somebody will know something soon.” Thus enlightened (?) the reporter bade the gentle. man good night and left the house at once, A moment | after a carriage drove up and the gentieman with whom | the reporter had been conversing entered it ana was driven rapidly down Fifth avenue. It was subsequently ascertained that Mr. Caleb P, Marsh has no sons living with him there, and certainly | none of the age of the gentleman who was represented tobe William Marsh. The description of Caleb P, Marsb, given by a person quite familiar with his ap- pearance, corresponded exactly with that of the Mr, Matsh who was speaking to the Hxgato reporter, It was supposed that Marsh intended to return to Montreal last night, but the usual eleven o'clock Mon. treal night express train does not go beyond Troy on | | Mr. Marsh himself, shows clearly that tho fugitive wit- ness 1s in town and ready to accept the promised par. | | don from the United States government. The servant | | girl who was questioned at the house, after tne carriage | had gone away, though evidently tully instructed as to the necessity for silence on her part, inadvertently | made the admission that “Mr, Marsh’? bad just gone | | out, When asked if the person who had entered the carriage was really Mr. Marsh's son, she laughed mer. rily and replied, “Ob yes, his on, you're right,’ and she immediately added, “He won't be back to-night.” | Tne watchman who does night duty in the ceignbor- | hood and bas charge of the Marsh mansion contra- | qicted the story that Mr. Marsh bad any sons, and his | deseription of the itive with exactly tallied with | that of the man seen in © house and who went of in | the carriage. | _ There is, | P.
