The fine-haired members of the asso- ciation are jubilant will the public are indignant at the decision. The cup for the championship of the Mis- i valley has to be won three consecutive times before the award can be made.

The letter sets forth that he was interrupted at the time of the robbery and shot a man who he supposed was an officer about to effect. his arrest, the singular part of the story is that while the facts of the robbery tally exactly with a minute description given in the letter nothing has ever been known of the alleged murder. The ground where the body is claimed to have been hidden is be- ing carefully searched.

And is Entirely Ignorant of Who Strahan Was, Bradley Investiration. National Assoolated Pross, Awsaxy, N. Y., June 25.-—-The Bradley bribery vestigating com- mittee met this mormng. The first witness was James Tellinghast, former general superintendent, and now as- sistant to the president of the New York Centralrailrond who was exam ined particularly regarding the £20,000 check which he had cashed in Albany. Hetestifiedjthat he prooured 1oney for the purpose of closing out & real estate transaction _in Buffalo where he resided. That the negotiation could not be completed and he loaned the money to a Buffalo bank which was short of currency. Notono dollar was paid to any member of the legis- lature. The loan to the Buflalo bank was purely accidental, a8 the bank chanced to be short of ecurroncy and he happened to have the monoy in his possession. The next witness was Charles H. Ingersoll, who testified that he was on intimate terms with Senator Session’s, and that he also knew Bradley, Bradley told him he should stop vot- ing for Conkling and Platt, and vote for Depew; he told Sessions so. This was one afternoon before the election at Albany took place. John I. Daven- port,chief supervisor of New York city, sworn, despite the protests of Bang’s counsel for Bradley and the committee, who stated he has no_further testi- mony to offer on his side, and objected to Davenport’s testimony until ali other witnesses were sworn. BTN National Associated Press ALpANY, June 23.—The bribery in- vestigating committee resumed its sessionat 3 p. m. Jno. 1. Davenport; chief supervisor of elections of New York, resumed the stand and com- tinued his testimony in regard to Nen- ator Strahan’s statement in reference to the offer of the marshalship of the southern district of New York if he (Strahan) would desert Conkling. Davenport testified that after receiv- ing the dispatch from Knox he went at 2 o'clock in the morning to the house of the assistant disirict attor- ney, Geo. W. Lyon, and kccured his consent for the use of his name as a candidate for marshal. That morn ing he telegraphed Lo Kuus at Wash- ington that Strahan declined, and he (Davenport) suggested the appoint- ment of Lyon, %a also telegraphed Garfield to the same effect. He learned subsequestly that his dis- patches got to Washington at so late an hour that the president had urged Knox to accopt the place and Knox had consented. Davenport was cross- examined at great length, and testi- fied that he had communication with President Garfield and sent him a dispawch on Sunday last asking his permission to state what passed be- tween them respecting Strahan’s ap- pointment. To this message Davenport read the following reply: “Erpory Horer, Loxa Branen, N, J., June 20.—The president directs me to say that he has 10 objection to complying with your request. [Signed] A. F. Rocxwer.” Davenport said that he understood he was at liberty to state all that passed between him and the president, not only in regard to the marshalship, but in other matters as well he was under no restraint. All communica- tions with the president took place after the resignations of Conkling and Platt, and after the withdrawal of the nominations to the other New York offices. The president did not assign any reason for the withdrawal of the nomination of Woodford and Payne and the other New York candidates, and did not mention the withdrawal in connection with the senatorial con test in New York, All that was said in relating to the senatorial contest in conversation with the president, was a query by the president asto whether Conkling and l'fin(t were going to be candidates or not. He told the president that the reports were contradictory, and there was some doubt as to whether they would. The president expressed no opinion upon the Conkling and Platt controversy or any desire whether they should be elected or de- feated. Davenport said that he sim- ply understood that if Strahan accept- ed, his name would be presented to N G T 1) president didn’t know Strahan, and no mention was made to the pacsident. Daven- port told Strahan that he presumed is acceptance of the position would curr{ with it his refusal to vote for Conkling and Platt. Davenport testified further that Knox said he had been in Washington ten days endeavoring to bring about a better state of feeling between the president and Conkling, Davenport belioved that if Strahan had answered affirmatively, that he would bo ap- pointed. He did not say that he could not accept the office without reference to the office of senator, Straton did not ask him if he would bo expected to oppose Conkling's clec tion, At Davenport’s request the despatch that passed between him and Knox and between him and members of the investigation comuittee were put in evidence, The famous midnight dispatch from Knox to Davenportwas as follows: “WasniNgron, D. C., June 19.— Telegraph immediately about Strahan, 1f he will not act, who is next best? How will Erhardt or Hugh Gardiner JU of the fact that he was a state senator | . 1 DJ VE 24, 1881, do? Ifneither, name best man. Tel- egraph immediately and fully. (Signed. ) H. E. K. Arlington. Davenport also gave copies of his telegraphic correspondence with Post- master-General James and Knox granting permission to state what was said botween them concerning the marshalship. Artnur W, Hickman, a member of the assembly testified that on June 8th when Bradley swears that Sessions offered him a bribe, in the evening Bradley said to him (Hickman) that “in obedience to ths will of his con- stituents he should quit voting for Conkling and vote for Cornell and Rogors, This closed the testimony and the oounsel submitted case without argu- ment -- Griscom Lively.

A lady sends a communication for publication in T Bee in which she makes some rather severe strictures upon one of her neighbors, charging brutal treatment of her mother. The Indy says the woman's mothor is nearly sixty years of age and very infirm, but notwithstanding this, she was put out of doors a fow days ago. Her condi- tion is pitiable,and but for the kindness of the neighbors would be absolutely The poor old woman, ac cording to the communication, is not only without shoes but without the money to purchase them. The duct of the daughter is all the more terrible, con- reprehensible from the fact that she appears to be in fair circumstances, If the facts of the caso aro nearly as bad as stated the daughter’s conduct can only be characterized as inhuman and unworthy her sex. For the present Tue Bee will not men- tion any names until such time as the mattor can be more fully investigated. However the names are now at this offic, and should the caso develop as bad as it appears on its face, it will be treated in an entirely different manner. sl How It Was Done.
