WARRINGTON, April 10. The rev.
..,lons Of Colonel Whitley, formerly
chief Of the special agents OF the
T,e,sury Department, before Con-
',s.,Ional Committee, in relation to
%s national safe burglary conspiracy
n Warrington, a few years ago, fell
Wts thunderbolt here. There were
Svconading ones only who honestly
hlleyed in Babcock's innocence OF
oomuliclty with the whisky frauds.
coopeI Whitley, however, tells such
Straightforward and apparently
tnlhiul story, and, moreover, he is
hrIded with 30 many and such strong
Stevs and , 'lcgrams which he treas
ued up against the day of reckoning,
Oov 50 ner at hand, as to confirm bis
verbal statement. Everybody now
BELIEVES Ba cock TO be not only q
crooked whiskylte, but to be, also, one
Oftbe wicked gang, who conspired to

For once, the few conservative and

bVeraken their party-are ia full oc'
lud with him. Conklin is Grants

whom the best that can be said is

corrupt as some of his. rascally as
Ehtes, is not strong enough to beat
