WbiicI,'s History OF the Shameful Safe
burglary.

HUrkihrS'
A Washington special to the Chicago
Times says; A forked shaft struck to-
day on the very verge Of the white house

contcstablc witnesses, leave Babc0ck ina
position more UNANIMOUSLY dishonorable
than he would have been if pronounced
guilty at ST. Louis. Daylight IN the

the safe burglary business were not well
founded, and that the true workers OF

motion and aqucst was made for Whitley,
chief of the old secret service forces, IL

been associated with him were, by n suS,

LATER
This evening it has been shown that
Grant is as guilty rs Babcock. In Octo-
Der, 1874, after the conclusion of the
afe-burglary trial, brought to an end by
the disagreement of the jury, Whitley
went to Riddle, the special assistant at
torncy general, and offered immunity
and a pardon to tell the true history Of
the safe burglary business. He then re-
