STILWELL GOT TAMMANY PROMISE OF A PARDON. Was Brought by Agents of Dominant Political Power,” He Wrote Sulzer From Sing Sing i “Word John A. Hennessy, who yesterday put in writing and over his own name his charges against Charles F, Murphy and Edward E previously cited in campaign speeches, appeared at the District-/ office at 3.30 o'clock this afternoon in answer to District-Attorney Whit- man’s subpoena. He was immediately taken to Assistant District-Attorney Clark's office and was there closeted with Clark and a stenographer. S appearance was in line with Whitman’s sudden meve late yesterday afternoon toward the institution of John Doe proceedings before Chief Magistrate McAdoo to determine if a crime had been com- mitted—if he finds that Hennessy possesses sutticient proofs to back h statements concerning the disappearance of the $25,000 Anthony Brady campaign contribution which Murphy received and which, ace ding to Murphy’s statement of last night, he returned to Brady. This and other charges, either hinted at by Hennessy, as in the threat to disclose ex-Senator Stilwell's confession involving Tammany, or flatly made for the campaign platform, will, it is said at the Criminal Courts Building, constitute the subject of inquiry to-day, If Whitman tinds what he expects to tind in Hennessy’s the John Doe proceedings will be started before McAdoo to-morrow, Stilwell Was Gagged By Promise of Pardon Former Gov. Sulzer made public to-day a letter written to him in gust by ex-Senator Stephen J. Stilwell applying for a pardc prison sentence for attempting to extgrt a bribe.
