PHILADELPHIA ASSASS[NS;
Exposure or the Pennsylvania whis-
key RinEa

Philadelphia {ou. ~ Correspondence Of the Neu Yoyl
Hugh Morrow, or, ast; as be- is mora ,am;,,;.-,,
kncwh, Hugh Mara, the would-be assassin Q;
Revenue Detective Brooks in 1869. and OF Al
derman McMullen g few months ago. was sen.
fenced yesterday to nearly seven yenrs' impris:
onmont and to pay fine OF 81 200 and the c5s1
OF prosecution. As the man is poor; and has
the seeds Of consumption rooted in him, this
sentence practically amounts to life'a imprison:
meut. Every since his pardon BY Goye1uo,
doary, 1t has been hoped that Morrow would
make frank confession, telling ali he knew
sasslnate Mr. Brooks: He did make partial
confession. but he shielded nearly all OF those
who should have been exposed.
When Morrow shot McMullen, the general
opinion was that it was but one act in the Whis-
key Ring drama, and that the quarrel over 9
ing OF the Fourth Ward Alderman. Morrow has
boen person of bad character all his life. He
said to reporter two months ago:
Tho Moyamensing Hose Company has ruined
moro n young men than any other organization in
the country. Was ruined BY aasociating with
its members, and when 60 down will pull the
authors Of my ruin with me-"
He has kept his word, but he would have sub
served the ends OF justice better if he had told
who we're the inner circle OF this Whiskey Ring,
whose creature he WAS. The Ring has been
dreadlng disclosures ever since Mr. Brooks re-
covered from his wounds, for the members well
knew that that official would probe to the bot
tom the whole plot. He has done 80, but re-
fuses to disclose all the facts not contained in
sons he gives Are. that there ara some threads Of
the story yet to be. woven, and, until they are,
the publication. of the facts he has would do
more harm than good.
