portant result Of tho Pacific Mail investigation
to-day waa that the evidence .of John Il. Shu-
mailer. Democratic Eeprosantatiye from
Brooklyn, wna seriously impaired. When the
famoua $275.000 check WAS broken up three
1000 checks camo back from Stoekwe!l
to Schumacher. Az 10 these three checks seEu-
1nakor testified that he gGre tho proceeds OF oDe
TO lobbyists in Washington that the remaining
two went to Stockwr and that ho mover 1ecetv-
Cd my u,oney On tho three tatter, and knew
noshing Of them afterwards. Tho former cashier
Of Jay Cooke i Co. al'r cared with the hooks OF
those two $4,000 checks through the tark..
Tho records aro all consistent, AND show that
both tho checks ,rsro paid TO john o.
schslmakor. The bookkocper showed that
1aent Of these two Checks were unprecedented
in the history OF the bank, tile 100000 went TO
