was made BY the Presidents organ may
readily be seen by examining the report
made by the investigating committee
By it we find that the bribing was done
entirely by the La Crosse Railroad Com.

A SINGULAR GARRoTING UtlzE- A
queer trial is in progress at CaOandaigus,
N. Y. The circumstances as appears by
the testimony are that in February last two
men in masks entered the room OF q. +.
Miller, school master, and after binding
and gagging him forced him t, write q
letter to a Miss Metcalf .wh3m be has since
married, acknowledging himself the author
of slanderous anonymous letter against
Mr. E. N. De Graf, and asking for mer.
cy. For this purpose one Of his hands was
untied. He was then bound again and
left until assistance came. He charges De
Graft with being one Of his assailauts, and
hence the suit.
There is another lady in the case, Miss
Sophia Conn, and her testimony is singu.
lar enough. She testified to being visited
by masked n an whom she supposed to
be one OF the De Graf boys, aud entered
into and assisting 10 carrying out scheme
to obtain the required letter from Miller
She made a night tramp with the masked
man to the house of the De Graf family,
and told tne story dictated by the stranger
to shield the De Graft boys from the gar.
roting charge.
The theory ofthe defence is that Mill:r
himself is the conspirator, and au alibi has
been pretty clearly proved by De Graf,-
He and Miller it appears were rival lovers,
and the charge brought against him was
quite too absued to be credible CIere.

no longer desirable to keep terms With
Douglas; that he had failed The Democra'
