officials high in power win be brought into serious
trouble by his revelations; but this is probably
speculation, for Irving is too shrewd man 10 give
any OF his story to others until he IS assured OF his

AT the time OF the Commissioners visit he was
lying on the bed, reading the New YORK newspa-
pers. Rumors were ahoat yesterday that the
.dog'' with which the murder is supposed 10
have been committed was gwen to Dan Kelly
in saloon on the corner OF Grand street and East
broadway by calker who lived in stanton street
and worked in The Brooklyn Navy Yard; that
after the murder the calker moved TO NO. 10 Can
non street. where he sickened and died last
January: that the watch stolen from Mr.. Nathan
was pawned at No. Centre street and released six
months afterwards, and that the police now know
where to lind it. These are but rumors and OF the
vaguest description. What Irving really knows
that is the essential points In his storyhe has kept
TO himself. and will continue to do so until proper
guarantees are given him. Political intrlguers are
clean breast, and there Is no doubt whatever, but
that the same influence had good deal to do with
keeping this case shrouded, as 1t has been in the
proioundest mystery. The illusions mace yester-
day in whispers about the officials IN high places
have raised very hornets nest. 1t IS amaZ-
ing to see what number OF primo
inent gentlemen took alarm. SO closely
is Irving guarded that his wife, who called on HIM
last evening, was denied admission to his cell. she
says she never doubted the value OF her husbands
knowledge OF this case, though she never knew
exactly the nature OF 1t. The interview arranged
for District Attorney Phelps may not take place
intends having conference OF all the parties
interested in the case before he meets Irving.
Nothing but the most complete openness and i'm.
partially will now satisfy the public ana II is to be
hoped that Irving will be treated in this spirit by
the authorities
