LOW SPIRITED.
After giving his testimony last night Mr..
Whitney broke down and sobbed aloud.
''She was frequently low spirited" he said,
"snd If showed the slightest GOODNESS or
neglect toward her she burst into tears. On
the other hand, If spoke kind word to
her she threw her arms around my neck
and kissed me. She often told me that III
she lost my affection at any time she would
not allow herself to live. / do not believe
any two persons ever lived more happily to-
gether than we did, nor could there be a
stronger bond of affection than that which
bound u.s." The pistol with which Miss
Roane shot herself was q very heavy navy
revolver with six chambers. 1t carried a
ball four times as large as an ordinary
pocket pistol, and seemed to be an old
fashioned French weapon. 1t belonged to
Mr.. Whitney, who always kept it
supported over the mantle piece on
Two nails. II was found lying on the
floor beside the lounge, and resting
against the wall. Five OF the chambers were
loaded. The sixth had been discharged.
Euphemle Batiste, the colored woman who
attended upon Mr.. Whitney and Miss
Mingee," said that the latter was very
excitable and jealous. She often spoke of
the lady whom Mr.. Whitney used at one
time to visit, and always with considerable
leenng. one commonly threatened to de-
stroy herself II she perceived Mr.. Whitney's

HeI mistress then sent her up stairs, and
about fifteen minutes aiterward she was
called down and told by Mr.. Whitney that

while Mr.. Whitney went to get the physi-
clan. Miss "Mingee" tried hard to speak,
but could only gasp and struggle for breath.
She died about ten minutes after Mr.. Whit
ney went out. DR.. Anthony Ruppaner said
that at about O'Clock on Tuesday evening
Mr.. Whitney rushed into his office, ex-
citedly exclaiming, "doctor, I'm in great
trouble; my companion has shot herself"
When the physician arrived at 10 Filth
avenue he found Miss 'Mingee" dead,
and the body already cold. 1t would have
been almost impossible, he said, for any one
to infiict the wound in her breast except
herself. 1t was under the breast, which had
been raised to permit the ball to enter, and
the muzzle of the pistol had been held so
close to the person that the chemise was
scorched and blsckened with gunpowder.
Capt. Steers testified concerning the position
and appearance of the body, and Deputy
Coroner Marsh concerning the nature OF
the wound. The bullet had been fired
straight into the heart. The jury rendered
verdict of death by her own act. Miss
"Mingee's" relations were communicated
with by telegram yesterday, and the dis
patch was probably the first intimation they
have received of her whereabouts for some
years. The remains are to be buried to-day
in Greenwood Cemetery.

AT WASHINGTON.

Mr.. DOUGLASS FAILS TO ACCOUNT sATIsFAC-
ToRILY FOR HIS OFFICIAL NEGLIGRNCE-
THE GHOSTS OF sCANDALoUs oNFEAsANcEs
THAT NOW HAUNT HIS REPUTATION.
The Washington special to the same paper
says: Ex-Commissioner Douglass is a little
lame in HE explanation of the reason why
he did not make more progress in the work
of detecting and breaking up the whisky
ring. He admits that he received special
information from q st. Louis lawyer con-
corning the frauds, but says, furthermore,
that he sent an agent to st. Louis to inquire
into the matter, who found the lawyer had
no tangible evidence. He also says that he
sent three special agents, Yaryan,
together, to work up the frauds,
but that they met with no success. Here
his memory seems to be at fault. So far
from failing to get at any frauds, Mr.. Ysryan
presented report TO MIR. Douglass furnish
ing ample evidence of fraud, in November,
1872, and volunteered to go to st. Louis and
proceed with the investigation. He urged
the commissioner TO 60 on with the matter,
but Mr.. Douglass was disinclined- to avail
himself of the services of Messrs. Yaryan and
Gavett, and suppressed their report, filing
it away with the endorsement. "They re-
quest, verbally, through Brashear, that no
action be taken on this report until they
report further" Mr.. Yaryan was then or
dered to New Orleans, and this special agent,
Brashear. was sent back to st. Louis by
Douglass and
BLACKMAILED THE WHISKY MEN
to the amount of $4,000. Brashesr is now
in Europe, where he has fed for safety. 1t
appears from these facts that Brashear de-
ceived Douglass, or made use of him, but il
is wholly incorrect to say that there was not
sufficient evidence of the frauds before him
at any time during the last two years of his
official term to warrant him in making the
same issue with the whisky thieves that has
since been made with them since his retire
| ment. The truth is that Brashear was
backed up by the influence of a late cabinet
officer and so strongly supported by him
that Douglass did not dare to remove him
and, even after proof positive had been
placed before him that Brashear was q
thief and a blackmailer, he continued to
employ him, and commissioned him to &C
/ back TO st. Louis and deal with the whisky
frauds. Affidavits were placed before Mr.
Douglass demonstrating beyond question
| Brashear's intimate relations with the ring
and yet, in obedience to the wishes of the
ex-cabinet officer referred to, retained him
in Office and allowed him to continue to be.
tray the government. If all the atteinsble
evidence is produced, it will prove that Mr.
| Douglass was fully cogniZant OF the ring, ano
failed because he was too timid to take the
necessary steps to break it. No doubt has
ever been thrown upon his honesty, but tbs
political influence which pat him in Office
and kept him there were themselves 81
contaminated that any earnest effort for re
form involved his cutting loose from all hi!
chief political friends, and this he was, iol
special reasons, unwilling to do.
