A Washington special says the Pa
citic Mail Investigation begins TO as-
sume a Very solemn AMI almost tragic
aspect. Irwin iailel to appear before
the Ways and Means Committee this
morning. \ careful examination by a
physician showed that he was in quite
Il dangerous condition of nervous
prOStralion. Some time ago his skull
was fractured by an accident, and nerv-
Gus excitement since tends 10 distract
his mental balance. This is his pres
ent condition. During a part OF the
day he Was III partial delirium. bat Ia e
to night he Is calmer. He Is closely
watched by his pi4y>icians aud his
house closely guarded by the Sergeant
at Arms. Few persons are allowed to
approach him. He is practically in
close confinement. Those who have
seen him state that his mental excite
ment is due 10 the struggle in his mind
as 10 the course he will pursue. Ii he
tells the whole truth, it is said he will
make astounding revelations; if he
derlints to testify. he will not
be able to justify himself; and he is
charged by the Pacific Mail Company
with the theft Of the S75,0 900. The indi-
cations are that he will tell the whole
truth, and it seems probable some
painful revelations will be made. II
now seems certain that moue was
paid and that stock ard options Of
stock were given to cure the subsidy.
Three inen connected with the matter
are said 10 be dead. Irwin's surround
ings are quite dramatic. He has at his
OOH three large trunks fil.ei with
documents connected with the trans
action In his calmer moments, lie
says he has documentary proof for al!
his assertions and actions.
