THE SAFE BUKaLARY PLOT:
Mjles' Story of He,v the JOB yeas Pvt up
The Chief C0sssptrat0rs

The Chief CO'ssptrators.
washington Cor. of Baltimore SUM-
George E. Miles, the burglar employed,
as he alleges, by Harrington and Gen. o.
E. Babcock to do the safe burglary, and
who is now in prison in Vermont, writes as
follows:
/ first met Harrington at his office some
three days previous to the burglary. The
man met at the Metropolitan Hotel on the
evening of the burglary was Babcock. The
contractor in the closet, OF rather small
room leading out of the main hall to the
right and back of Harrington's rear office,
was John O. Evans. stopped at WIZARDS
Hotel a portion of the time also at
Harrington's house-left for New York the
morning of the burglary on the limited ex-
press. A. B. Williams did not accompany
me to the depot. Harrington had several
interviews with Benton while he was in Jail,
and he promised Benton $4,000 if he would
stick to the original programme, namely,
to say that Mr.. Columbus Alexander en-
ployed him to commit the burglary. BY
the terms of my agreement with Har-
rington was not to be arrested. Benton only
was to be arrested. Clarvoe, chief of de-
tectives at Washington, and A. 3. Williams
were parties to this agreement. 1t was un-
derstood that should get out of the build
ing after the papers were obtained and the
"iob" completed, by the rear. When / un-
dertook to leave the building in this way, l
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. then went out of the
front door in company with Benton, and, as
it 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 to the corner. Benton turned to the
right and went up the street, (Fiith), keep
l ing his bag well in sight. l kept straight
ahead down the street, turning to 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 it;
it was gotten up to break the force of the
investigation; the false measurement, ETC.,
would tell the story, and something had to
he done. The detail of the job was left to
Harrington, and after the scheme so miser-
ABLY faeu1 was tne .ii.sste spirit in the
chicanery that was practised to cover the
thing and turn the odum upon Mr.. Colum
bus Alexander.
This letter will be sent to the Grand Jury
and to the House Committee on the Jndi-
ciary, who are now investigating the sub

The assistants in the clerks Office of the
Marine Court were yesterday ordered by
the Judges to resume their usual duties, all
the business OF the Office to be transacted in
the name of the deputy clerk, Mr. Charles
T. Wood, until the new chief clerk quail
ties. Mr.. Savage did not make his ap-
pearance during the day, as expected. He
has been staying on his farm in Pennsyl-
vania, and is said by the Judges to be un-
aware Of his appointment. He has been
written and telegraphed to, but his Penn
sylvania country place seems to be SO re-
mote from telegraphic connections that the
information has not yet reached him.
Though he was an applicant for the posi-
ton when Maurice j. Power was appointed
he neither applied nor expected to be the
successor of Mr.. Coughlin. Judge Sheridan
yesterday started for Pennsylvania to see
the appointec himself, and end the delay.
It was announced in Chambers that the
new clerk is expected to arrive before z
o'clock this afternoon.
