Afterwards he went and sat down as

book on spiritualiSm and his own
person to the best advantage for the
photographer. If the wretch does
suffer the extreme penalty we intend
to report the manner of his death.
And as subject of pure science, we
shall discuss the world with reference
to him after death.

Between 3 and O'Clock, yesterday
afternoon, the unfortunate wretch, John
Murphy, was led from prison under an
escolt from the Sheriff S Office to Cade's
photograph gallery to have lis picture
taken. Only two reporters accompanied
the guard. Merely curiou, outsiders
seemed awed by the lugubrious nature
of the work on hand, and staid away.
Why Murphy wants photographs of him
self on the point Of being placed beyond
the need of Consciousness of anything
pertaining to this world, We do not
know. We did not enquire. Maybe TIE
photographs are for the photographer.

The Answer and accompanying
Documents"

The answer Of Governor Shepherd to the in
terrogatories propounded by the joint commit
tee to investigate District affairs, arrived at the
Capitol promptly at IL O'Clock to-day, as pro-
wagon, and accompanied by a guard of seven
laborers, in command of Colonel Magruder,
treasurer of the Board of Public Works; DIR.
VIM. Tindan, MIR. j. G. Lay, auditor of the
Board, and Mr.. f. H. johnson, of the contract
office. DIR. Tindall carried the answer proper
in an immense portfolio tied with red tape
tanned in eleven boxes about 2H by 2 feet, and
about one foot in depth, with iron handles on
the sides and each bore on the side in printed
letters T" Measurements and Vouchers, ID. P w ,,
On the top of the boxes was the inscription:
"From - to -, 1s-"-embracing vouchers
from 1871 to 1874. These boxes contain 10 ,56S
vouchers and measurements. Besides these
there was large box, three feet square, con-
tanning the originals of 1882 contracts. The
preparation of the answer has consumed the
time for three weeks past of 81 clerks, who have
been compelled to work far into the night to
ray nothing of the additional labor imposed
upon the Governor and the members OF the
Board of PUBLIC Works, who have used every
means to expedite the work. The boxes were
piled up near the door of the Pacific Railroad
Committee room of the Senate.
The committee room was occupied during
roads At about noon the committee adjourned,
when the doors were thrown open, and the
boxes taken in and turned over to Mr.. Colby
clerk OF the Investigating Committee. 1t
and that each contains the measurements and
contracts placed In file-holders which in turn
bear the number of the documents tney con-
tain. These accompanying documents are 30
Systematically arranged that there will be no
trouble in finding them as they are wanted.
Marcellus West and Columbus Alexander
representing "yOur memorialists, }" were early
on the ground to-day, and, truth to tell, looked
far from happy. After watching the transfer
OF the boxes from the hall to the committee
room with lugubrious countenances, they drew
IN asf md
solemn conference. The committee will doubt
less order the answer proper to be printed, and
as il will make a volume of from 400 to 700
pages, it can hardly be printed before next
week.
