The "Pence C0mm1ssiOner', Under Arrent.
fFrom the Washington Star, Dec. 1871
On Wednesday last long statement appeared in the Chi
Greene, which proessed be OF his receiving
several propositions for peace from Jefferson Davis (wh0
had sent for him) which he communicated 70 the Pres
dent His statement has been copied extensively, and
tegraphed throughout the country and has made the
author somewhat notorious, and from recent develop
ments he is likely TO become more
From what learn Mr. Greene visited the city In
company with several ladies' about the sth Of last month,
and put up Wlards but At this time suspected
him OF being penpotentary although he lived rather
fast and was riding nearly every day. but on leaving he
promptly paid his bill. About the 22d Of November
(abou the he alleges that he visited the President
he arrived in the city second time and put up at Will
lard's, being IN company with . gentleman from Bati
and several times at the War Department and
the White House. During his stay he stopped IN the hat
and fur store Of B H. Stinemetz and examined magnid
cent fur cape worth about $l75 but told Mr. as he
Judge Of the article he would bring friend 70
anime IT, He and his friend subsequently examined
the cape, (Ar. S. being absent at dnner), and left
word with the clerk If Mr.. s. would take $l75
for IL to send IL TO bis room, and II he was not
there to send to the War Department Mr. 8. shortly
after in and determined TO let 60 at the price
named but before he could send it to the place desig
mated Mr. Greene returned with carriage requested
the clerk to 60 with him to the War Department and he
would receive the money On arriving at the War Dc.
partment Greene took Of the cape and gave
the clerk the following check written on War Department
paper
SECRETARY TREAsuRY-Pay b. H. Stinemetz hundred
and twenty-five dollars and charge to the ACCOUNT q
The clerk emarked that the department was closed,
when Green told him that those connected with the de-
partments could get the back way and offered go
the Treasury and see him get the money. Tho two
started through the Presidents grounds and getting
in front Of the White House Greene told the young
walk on and he would overtake him, that he had some
business with the President and he bolted the front
door. Tho clerk went a little further and waited for
look for him, but he had lett On inquirng at Wizards it
was found that he had gone off, forgetting to pay his BILL
which, by the way was small Some of the clerks at the
War Department Informed Mr. Stinemetz that Greene was
well known merchont Of Pitsburg.
The Metropolitan Police Of this city some days since
took for his arrest and yesterday supernen
ley Of Chicago stating that he had been arrested and
awaits the requisition Of our authorities Captain Nc
Kelvy of the detectives yesterday despatched for
him, and he may be expected here shortly.
Greene claims TO be somewhat acquainted in Bati-
more and says that he induced 70 visit Richmond
by man named Horace N. Wilson, formerly detective
police officer in this city The Philadelphia Press appears
to think that this j. Wesley Greene is inden,ca with
Rev. John w. Greene who engaged some dsreputa
BILE transactions in that city since. Greene
story occupies three columns Of the Chicago 7es but Is
too ridcuousy improbable TO be seriously refuted BE
claims TO have left Pttsbug the morning Of the 22d Of
October and to have arrived in Richmond the morn
ing or the 26th going by the way Of Wheeling Saunton
and Gordonsve. This route would involve about four
hundred miles Of railroad travel and nearly hundred
miles Of horseback riding and it's accomplishment in three
days, in these times, is hardly possible.
The New York Tribune, which, to support it's ridiculous
peace proposition stores has eagerly grasped at such
tales this and "Dr Barneys" will really have to try
again.
