New York.
NEW YORK, October 2I.-One Of the
police officials said last night that the1
principal allegations against Captain
Irvine and Detective Farley are con-
tanned in Macdonnell's confession. He
made it in Newgate prison in London.
For hours after his sentence MacdOnnell
said that the plot to rob the Bank of
England was arranged in this city and
the originatOrs of it subscribed about
sixty thousand dollars In gold to carry
it into execution. Macdonald and the
BidWelI brothers went to Valps-
raiso and swindled a bank out
of twenty thousand dollars in gold,
which was added to the common fund.
MacdOnnell says the detectives were
aware of his plans from the commence
ment, and that he forwarded four thou
sand four hundred dollars in a registered
letter from London. He adds that he
telegraphed to irving his departure from
this city after the bank fOrgeries had
been discovered, and that it was in re-
spOnse to the telegram that Irving and
Farley met him on the steamer Thurin-
gia. On her arrival here, he says they
told him there was a sheriff in readiness
to attach his property, and that if he
had any yaluables they would take them.
According TO MacdOnnell's story, he
had about twenty thousand dollars in
gold seventeen thousand dollars in
I [
monds worth two thousand dollars, and
other articles of jewelry Of the value of
two thousand dollars. He says he sur
rendered this property TO the detectives,
and they promised to raise the money
for securing his escape. He adds that
he never saw any of the money after
ward, with the exception of the five
thousand dollars which they gave him ,
to pay his counsel. Mayor Havemeyer ,
says when he was spoken to about the
matter he did not believe there were !
three trustworthy men on the detective
force. The detectives, however, have 1,
united in a demand for an investigation,
and deny taking any of the property OBJ
-ained from MacdOnnell's effects. There
is a like quarrel for the possession of
the reward offered by the bank of Eng {
and fDr the arrest of the fOrgers, and ]
The parties said to be interested are de-
5ectives, sheriff's officers, and PinkertOn
& Co.'s private detectives. Police Com {
