The Nathan Murder.
Judge Albert Garbage, from his iuti-
mate relations with the Nathan fami
ly, was eagerly sought by reporters this
morning to ascertain his views regard
ing the statement from San Francisco,
published in the morning papers, pre-
tending to give confession o! the Wur'
derer of Benjamin Nathan. judge
Garbage considers the man either in-
sane or seeking notoriety, in the state
ment, he says that Washington Nathan
instigated the murder, is cruel and
wicked falsehood. He considers him
incapable OF such deed, and knows
that the most afectonate terms.existed
between the father and son. The
whole thing, except for the cruel wan"
tonnes Of the reflection on Washington
Nathan, is absurdly ridiculous.
The man Irving, who pretends to
know all about the Nathan murder,
was arrested in Hoboken July so, 1870,
with Charles Carr, charged with burg
lary, at Simpsons pawn store, Chatham
street, and Harden & Cos. Carr was
convicted and is in prison, but Irving
gave bail, which he forfeited. He at
tempted 10 break into the Brooklyn
Drug Mills shortly afterwards, but was
arrested. He escaped from Jail aud
went to California.
Irving at Sacramento some wee Ks
ago, offered 10 give himself up and tell
all about the Chatham street burglary,
if he could only be brought 10 New
York. A long correspondence ensued
between the chief of police OF New
York and the chief Of police Of San
Francisco, but the New York authorl-
ties refused to send for him, there be-
ing no evidence to render his convic-
ton probable. He afterwards offered
if sent on 10 New York to reveal all the
mystery OF the Nathan murder, but he
WAS refused as his offer was believed to
be ONLY q ruse to get to New York where
he was not wanted.
The Terrible Gould.
There was considerable agitation in
commercial and financial circles to-
dav, 10 consequence OF the new depar~
ture of the Gould clique. This COM
binaton permitted outsiders to sell gold
premiums down to ll5t, without bid
ding for it, for the purpose OF deceiving
the street and inducing further short
sales. After allowing the market TO
become weak and demoralized the pre-
MUM was quickly run up to ll54, with
several large purchases Of half g. mil
lion each at ll5!@ll55, by brokers
supposed to be identified with the Jay
Gould interest. 1t is now well known
in Wall street that this combination
own or control about thirty millions o.
gold, now in the various banks in tEe
city. 1t is in their power 10 advaLcc or
reduce the price several per cen; at their
Measure.
