H.c WHITLEY, Oh HALE
Two cssuters More Of His Biography.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., April IL, 1875.
To tax Editor of The National Republican:
SIR: This morning you have an article on Whit
ley, giving parts Of a letter which details what
purports to be history Of Whitley ''befo' de
waugh think there must be some mistake
about that letter. A friend of mine gave me
Whitley's history. His name is Hale; he was born
in New Orleans, and is the son Of an English ply
sician Of that city. Young Hale was a celebrated
mesmerist, and lectured extensively over the West
and South. At Selma, Ala, he rnesnerised
lady, and endeavored to violate her person, for
which he was ridden on O rail, or was about to be
and escaped; ! forget which. Afterwards, for
similar ofense, he was sent to the Louisiana peni-
tentiary at Baton Rouge, and was In that institu-
ton when the place was taken by the Federal
troops. He was released and came North, assum-
ing his present name. Whitley possesses great
mesmeric power, and in the -Ku-K Klux trials used
it to control the witnesses, making all whom he
could affect swear to whatever he wished.
This is the story told to me by a reputable gen.
tleman, who knew Hale in aRfe-beHum, and has
not met Whitley since. My name and that of my
informant are both at the service Of the Judiciary
Committee, should they desire to examine into
Whitley's antecedents.
ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE HISTORY OF WHIT
LEY.
In 1896 the Office of Adams Express Company
at Brownsville Texas, was robbed: Ine sac o was as
money. The next day it was found OF old Fort
Brown, broken open and above $4,000 OF the
money still in it. Whitley was then Govern
ment detective at Brownsville, ostensibly en-
gagged in keeping an auction store, which was one
door from the express office. Whitley and John
Price, the city marshal who had formerly been
in the service Of General Butler as a detective,
undertook to tnd the robbers. They arrested
three men, named Hoyt, Baldwin and Miller,
who after being kept in jail some time, were car
ried to New Orleans, where they were discharged
by General Sheridan, as there was not a particle
Of evidence against them. Whitley LEFT that
rvs
was that he put up the job TO rob the safe,
and afterwards volunteered to seek the robbers to
protect himself from suspicion and to aid him in

Misrepresentation Corrected from the Official
Record.
Below will be found the correct report from the
stenographer's notes of what Mr.. Gregory testi-
fed, taking it in connection with what Mr.. Tranor
swore, to wit:
THAT he did not know the man who introduced
him - "that Wolf laid his hand on him - 'that
Wolf said thought you was dead" 1t explains
itself and differs materially from the report in last
evenings Star. 1t is printed here in simple JUS
ticei to Mr.. Wolf who asks nothing but fairness
in the matter.
m. Gregory, post trader at Fort Richardson,
Texas:
Q. You are acquainted with James Trainor?
A. Yes; have known him number Of years.
Q. II anything took place in your presence be-
state it. A. was in this committee-room and
heard Mr.. Simon Wolf testify some days ago
Later in the day I went tn into IN the National hotel
locking at the register. l accosted him and asked
him what had occurred in the eommittee-room
was that he had left the room Immediately after
wards and my recollection is that he then said
that Mr.. Trainor was here and he did not know
name, mann and I Mr. WofturneG the Ses leaf n Of the
register and pointed to the name flames
Trainer and Just then happened to to turn
There comes Trainor!n Mr.. Wolf asked, "W hich
mani" and said, "The gentleman putting his
AGi Stepped De fdTwsTd and sccosted himP was the
first time we had met since we had been here
and innocently and inadvertently said, "Do you
know this mani" turning towards Mr.. Wolf Mr..
TrainGf looked at him without speaking, and it
became n little awkward after a time, and said:
LET me introduce you to Mr.. Wolff" Trainor
then. without taking his eyes of him. said: II
should think did know him; he is the man to
whom / Eaid the money" Then, think Mr..
Wolf said, "How is that?f Trainor then said, ~
believe you published a card, ;" &c. That was all
that heard. ! believe said soto roee to Mr..
Wolf to "Pay no attention to TrainOr, Jim is
pretty full"
@. From Trainor's manner could you Judge
whether he had ever known or seen Mr.. Wolf be-
fore or not? A. No. sir. That is point that would
like TO have brought out clearly; that inadvert-
emily and nnocently gave him that introduction to
Mr.. Wolf, and, although was q witness of their
meeting, ] was unable, and am still unable to
form an opinion either way. One thing is certain,
to Mr. wolf?" than Trainor said, 81 should think
did know him." He said that, however, after
had mentioned Mr.. VOLTS name to him.

tcrdsy morning at the Colonization building.
The report Of the committee on pharmaceutical
education, which was laid over at the previous

stitutions in consequence of the title.
The committee on the revision of the constitu-
ti0n reported a new constitution, making some
changes in the oficers and committees.

tion Of the title "d0ctor Of pharmacy, as It would
exclude the college from taking active part in con-
ventions and other deliberative gatherings of
pharmacists. Amer q long discussion the revised
constitution was adopted, with the understanding
that the vote would be reconsdered at an ad-
Journed meeting, for the purpose of dis
