noe US cOTTON CLAIMS.
A Defence Of Taylor and Weed, Indicted in
New Orleans.

To THE EprrOR OF THE SUN-Sir: There
falso publications In regard to the indictment
Of George Taylor and John T. Weed, attorneys
of this city. at New Orleans, FOR conspiracy to
suborn witnesses to testify falsely in the Cleve-
land cotton case. II is not true that such case
has been decided by the Court of Claims ana a
large sum of money paid on II. The suit was
begun in the fall OF 1863, but up to the present
time it has never been presented to the Court.
Mr.. Weed was not Assistant Solicitor OF the
Court Of Claims at the time the suit was begun,
he having resigned several months previous
Neither he nor MIR. Taylor are In any way re-
spOnsible for what was done in Louisiana IN
procuring the testimony said To be false. And
moreover, "a soon as they heard even rumOr
ol It's untrustworthincss they, Tong before tho
action OF the Grand Jury In New Orleans, moved
the Court TO strike II from the records.
The Mr.. Gamtnagc who was given a contingent
IN crest IN the case In consideration of his rep
fesenting his ability to obtain evidence neces-
sary To, establish certain points In the case Is
believed 70 be respectable gentleman. He un-
QUESTIONABLE fell into bad company in New Or
leans, and II Is possible that he NAV have been
guilty OF something criminal, but neither Mr.
Taylor nor Mr.. Weed can be held responsible for
bis acts. Ihey gave him "a contingent interest
he said he could obtain. He employed lawyer
named Denuee In New Orleans, and n fellow
named Cunningham. the former to examine the
Witnesses and the latter to find them. As soon
bingham he caused him to be dismissed and in-
dicted for perjury.
John L. Barrett. who was sent to New Orleans
by Attorney General Pierrepont to work up the
case Is professional blackmaier.
