Mr.. JOHN I. DAVENPORT RE-EXANINED.
The Committee on Expenditures IN the
Department OF Justice resumed the examia-
alton OF Mr.. Davenport this morning, and in
response 20 question he replied as he did
the other day, that from April to October,
lS,2, he borrowed S., 900 TO carry on his work.
witness was then asked by Mr.. Caulfield,
Tie chairman, whether be had prepared a
statement showing the times and amouats OF
payments.
Witness replied that he had done so as
fully as he could.
g Can you not produce any set of vouch-
eTs showing definitely the expenditure OF the
$4,000 received by you from Col. Whitley in
tie summer or fall OF 1872
Witness said he could not answer that
question other than in the manner he had
last week.
q. Can you furnish any particular number
OF vouchers which show tue particular SUM
Of money received by You IN the summer or
fall of 1872?
A. cannot do that, but can furnish
vouchers covering ali the sums Of money
expended ont of the S34 600.
Mr.. Caulfeld, who had pn. the question,
objected 10 hat manner of answering, and
wanted the witness 10 answer yes" or mo -
be wanted the times at which the money
was expended and the amounts expended to
be specified. He would ask another question
which was, whether the witness could speci-
fy the different sums expended out OF the
different amounts received?
Witness said he could answer that ques-
ton in the negative.
q. How, then, can you account FOR the eJ-
penditures?
A. / can furnish vouchers for all the ex-
penditures running through the whole time.

The Emma Mine Investigation

James +. Lyon was before the Foreign Ar
fairs Committee again Today. He said he
saw the original letter OF resi- snation OF Gen
Schenck as director OF the Emma mine; at
least IL so puTported TO be. There was no
reference In II 10 the mine or the shares; IL
only said he resigned because he did not
want to give his political enemies an oppor-
tuDity TO criticise his conduct. Parke said
10 witness: 81 don't like this letter and am
going to have better one from Schenck. -
The impression OF the witness was that Parke
wrote the letter of resignation, and that
Schenck copied IT from Psrke's manuscript.
DE saw the second letter two days afterward.
He said he had told Parke and Schenck re
ptatedly that this thing would end in a ma
ttonal calamity. He read two articles from
the mining journal, "bulling the Emma
mine" PaIke said he had paid $500 TO have
each printed.
Hiram f. Johnson, Mr.. Lyons attorney,
then took the stand and made a statement

The Safe Burglary Again.

LITTER FROM NILES TIL CONVICT.
George I. Miles, the burglar employed, as
nc alleges, by Harrington and General .. F.
Babcock 10 do tine safe burglary, aud who is
now in prison IN Vermont, in a letter 10 a
person in this city. says: ~ first met H4r-
rirgtOn at his Office some three days pre-
viOus to the burglary. The man that / met
al the Metropolitan Hotel on the evening of
the burglary was BabcOck. The contractor
in the closet, or rather the small room lead
ing out OF the main hall To the right and back
of HarringtOns rear Office, was John o.
Evans. j stopped at Willard'S Hotel pOr-
lion of the time-was also at HarrlngtOn's
hOuse-left for New York on the morning of
the burglary on the limited express. A. Il
Williams did not accompany me 10 the
depot. Harrington had several interviews
with Benton while he was in jail, ana ne
promised Benton 5000 IL he would stick 10
Tie original programme namely: TO say that
Mr.. Columbus Alexander employed HIN TO
commit the burglary. b. the terms Of my
agreement with Harrington was not TO be
arrested. Benton only was to be arrested.
Clarvoe, chief of detectives at Washington,
and A. B. Williams were parties 10 this agree
ment. II was understood | should get out
out OF the building. after the papers were oo-
tanned and the 'job" completed, by the rear.
When ! undertook 10 leave the building In
this way found guard there. Harrington
has since told me that this could not be
helped, as Major Richards gave the order to
cover the whole premises. i then went out
of the front door in company with BeAou,
and as 1t was then getting quite dark We
crossed to the other side of the street so as to
be in the light as much as possible in order
that Benton might be readily recognized
We walked 10 the corner. Benton turned to
the right and went up the street, (5th,) keep
ing his bag well in sight. | kept straight
ahead down the street, turning 10 the right
at the first corner, and walked away from
those following me-" In speaking of the job
itself he says: "The matter is very simple.
Babcock was the originator OF the thing; he
conceived II; it was gotten up to break the
force of the investigation; the false measure
ment, &C., would tell the story and some
thing had tn be done. The detail OF the job
was left TO Harrington, and after the scheme
so miserably failed he was the master spirit
in the chicanery that was practiced tn cover
the thing and turn the odium upon Mr.. Co
lUmbus Alexander" This letter will sent %
