The MONEY FOUND IN CHRIS. He CAMS HOUSE
-hS UNFAIR STATEMENT ENrosED-EarIy yesttr
day morning and during the day a statement was
banded around the city, among the police and
other quid nurcs, that on the night previous Pat

ment, and had found In trunk 1925 half and ~
whole scvereigus. This sweeping statement was
calculated, II not intended, 10 the character
Of Mr.. Hogan; hence we dccliucl TO notice the
matter In yesterdays REPUBLICAN,, until all the
circumstances should come to our knowledge,
when we intended to publish The facts, no matter
whose reputation WAS affected by them.
We now learn that the money was found In the
trunk OF wLitc servant girl, the nurse Of Mr..
Hogan's ehildrcn. That gentleman himself opened
the trunk and assisted In the search. Her account
of the manner In which IL came into the trunk Is
straight forward, and is cortoborated by very
strong circuustantial evidence. Aday or two after
the larceny oil these coins from Mr. J. Curry on the
Island, man who now turns out to be James
Farrell, dlsas UBrien, went into the grocery store
OF Mcsses. White Co. and offered to sell some
English gold, which he stated he had just drawn
IRON the bank. This firm declined purchasing, but
gave him bag into which he placed tn, coin. The
money found in hc trunk Of Mr.. Hogdns serrani pds
ied W in his bag, and she says that he gave It to
her Un the vrry evening on which this circum-
stance occurred, with a promise that he would re-
turn from y ltimore, when he was about starting,
aud marry her. She at first declined to accept the
money, but finally yielded. and locked II up 10 her
trunk without mentioning the fact to any Icrson.
This statement appears altogether probable.
The girl was arrested yesterday and taken be-
fore Justice Gibcrson, who held her to bail for
iurther investigation. Mr.. Joyce, Of the hrm al.
ready named, became her surety. Now, under
these circumstances, as 1t unfair TO insert In a
flowing headline that this "stoltn gold" was
found at the house Of detective 7" II was Just
asuniair us would be m announcement that stolen
goods were found In the house of y preacher, n
j"'Sc, or an editor, when, in fact, servant was
only involved. After this case had been iuvesti.
gated, the members OF the Board OF Metropolitan
20, &C elected Mr. Hogan a detective Of that de-
partmcnt, vice d. G. McKelvey, resigned.
An UNCLE or THE GUERRILLA QUANTRELL
COMMITTED TO PBIsoS.-The detectives under
Captain scheetz yesterday arrested Mr.. George
stone, of Georgetown, charged with having oh.
taincd exemption papers by stating q falsehood in
his aildavit When taken before Captain schectz
he plead that his papers were prepared by a sub
stitute broker named A. Il Quantrell, q nephew
of the infamous murderer OF the uusrmed inhabi.
tants of Lawrence, Kansas. Ia the afternoon,
Quantrillc WAS arrested and brought before Capt.
Schectz, and was confronted by atone. II appears
that the latter, who Is q poor and very ignorant
nnsn, had borrowed money to purchase asubstitutc
before he met Quantrell, who advised him to get
exempted on the plea that he WAS the only son
and support OF aged and inhrm parents. stone
declined to do this; but finally agreed 10 pay q.
500 If he would get witnesses and procure his
papers. Accordingly an affidavit was drawn and
Stone made his crosS-mdrk, without, Of course
knowing its precise contents. Stone told his story
in n simple style, which convinced Capt. SchGetz
that his stRtements were entirely correct.
Quantrcll says that he is a printer, and has pub
lshed several papers In Maryland. II 10 intimatcd
that his operations In substitutes and In obtaining
exemption papers have been quite extensive.
