IN regard to this matter the New York Evening
Express OF the 18th has the following;
~, one I o. our reporters visited the Marshas office
t.ils S9as1Iaayp morning to see what was thought
| theEs 81 safs extraordinary statement Marshal
| ~ yhueIs Was absent he had Just returned from
hloyi allS fos so his residence. The officials ia
| Marshais DeAhgelis and THOMPSON, were duite
! ignornant Of Ike rumors shout Hicks aflaat tiis
| morning. Every one seemed to discredSs the
| Leaders, story. Mf. DeAnaeIis Expressed vYeat
doubt Of the statement and sgid sIf ever mar was
dead, it Hicks :; lowered him myself .,tf tbf.
coffin. At the same time he was inclined To- tsr,lx
that the names Of tae doctors mentioned we're IN
correct.
| While the probability of Hicks actually ha7ipg
escaped the extreme penalty of che law Eas dis
eussed ~ the few persons present in the MaTsiaI's
/
sltle bright boy at her side, was noticed standing
| al the outer window. Upon being informed that
| she was the widow Hicks, our reporter naturally
| inquired what business she had at tie Marshaiis
office. The reply was thst she came shere to get
some money" It was then said that she knew
nothing Of the rurnor about her husband.
Marshal DeAngelfs showed her the Leader which
contained the intelligence, but, either Mrs Hicks
must he devoid of all feeling, she muss already
have been aware of the facts, for wife, vaIanous
as her husband night have been could have COM
posedly and uneoncernedly looked upon the tale
that her husband, once the scorn Of humanity, and
| whom every body thought was long buried, was
| alive again. She listened to Marshal DeAngelis
| when he tala it to her, she locked at the news
| paper with as much nonchalance as If it did NOT
| interest her at all. She further, upon inquiry,
stated she never had seen the dead body of Albert
] w. Hicks. She wanted to see the grave once and
| wrong grave was shown to her.
This fully taHfes with the statement published at
the time Of the execution. It will be recoieeted
that Mrs. Hicks and the priest she had engaged to
| uury the pirate were left waiting at the barge
\ oace on the Battery for several hours, while the
parties who had TIE body in charge took it ashore
at another pier, and according to their own state
! ment afterwards made public-not finding Mrs.
| Hicks, conveyed the coffin to Calvary Cemetery,
| where it was buried All the parties mentioned
by the Leader in connection with this matter, owe
it to the public and themselves to make full state
| ments in regard to it.
