and would sand by him in any and all
events. Wn,' ley of curse expressed his
wi Ne II aid them in any way he
1or d. b. ock then told him Harring-
IN wor d hun, and Whiteley went to
E . him. I .e whole plot was disclosed
TO him and lie was furnished with n Est
of the nam Of the memoria SITS, and
was told about the habit of meeting at
A'exande house, and in short the de-
tails of the job as it had been STUDIED out
10y Harrington and his fellow -conspira-
tors was communicated to Whitley,
and he was asked to supply the instru-
meuts to carry the conspiracy into eff .ct E.
He did not really agree to it, but he was
again Brought into contact with Harrlng-
ton IL 'ough Babcock, and an arrange
ment was made for him to meet certain
other parties at the ring clubhouse to
take breab fast. This appointment White
ly failed to keep, but he finally agreed to
furnish them t.fe men do the work. He
went to New York and sent j. C. Nettle-
ship here to attend the details, and also
sent a few days afterward Mike Hays,
who was to be us / by Net.leship. Net
tlesh'p himself having brought with him
a German named Gustave Zirruth. These
men arranged the prelminaries, and Net
tleship went back to New York, and the
burglals were sent on, Nettleship himself
coming back and remaining here till the
evening the job was to be done. Before
leaving he wrote the instructions for the
burglars, and in writing 10 O'Clock he
omitted cypher, and this made the hour
read | o'clock instead of 10, and the con-
spirators failed TO catch Alexander and
his friend, as they had expected to.
Whitley makes a clear case against Bah
cock, and sustains himself at every point
by letters and kilograms which cannot
be gainsaid.
The correspondent of the Baltimore
Gazette says;
Before the investigation is concluded
it will be shown conclusively that the
President himself and the whole ring
crowd here were aware,of the conspiracy,
and Shepherd and John O. Evans and
Hallet kilbourne will be connected with
it directly by the most conclusive proof.
The friends of the ring here had arrang-
ed with District Attorney Wells to have
Whitley, Somerville and Harrington in
dicted, I'd then Harrington was to be al
lowed to turn State evidence and Whit
ley and Somerville were to be convicted,
and thus Babcock and the rest Were to
escape. Somerville, it will be remember
ed, was the New York lawyer who came
on here to have Walter Brown alias VIM
Benton released on bail, and procured
from MIN an atfiday it which implicated
Mr.. Alexander.
Somerville is now here with Whitley,
and will tell the whole truth. He will
connect other parties with the job, and
show how he managed to have Benton
released on straw bail. Bantield, form
erly Solicitor of the I .easury, is also
here as a witness, and will be an import
ant one. When Whitley discovered the
plot to have him sent to the penitentiary
and the real conspirators be allowed to
escape, he determined 10 unload. He
had been urged to leave the country, and
has e> idence in black and white to show
inducements were offered him to get out
of the way. The case is perfectly clear
now, and this most astounding piece of
vilhany wi be laid bare to the very bot
