The Crooked whisky Investigation.
ArToRNLY GENERAL PIERREPoSr ON TAR
STAND.

Attorney General Pierrepont was for three
hours yesterday before the House Judiciary
Committee who are investigating the sub
ject of alleged Executive interference with
the late "crCoked whisky" trials In the west.
The committee manifested most Interest In
the Attorney Generals famous circular let
ter to the district attorneys OF ST Louis,
Chicago and Milwaukee, which received the
popular Interpretation OF being designed 10
discourage prosecutions OF the whisky ring
conspirators. Mr.. Pierrepont'S account OF
IL is that the President was very much
disturbed at the constant receipt OF
newspaper slips and letters, and per-
sonal statements, giving Information Of at.
tempts on the part Of government officials
In those cities 10 compromise frauds ON the
revenue, and that the President spoke to
him, on five or six different occasions. eX.
pressing his fear that such things IL allowed
would bring scandal on the administration.
Mr.. P1errepont himself was rather inclined
to treat these statements as eXaggeratiouS.
and did not believe that the district at Dr-
ney E, or the special counsel OF the govern
mept, would be guilty OF any thing improper
in the matter. He had therefore rather
warded OFF the Presidents advances. until
finally the President suggested that the At
torney General bad better write To the dis
trict attorneys on the subject. Mr. Pierre
pont had therefore prepared and forwarded
the letter, couched AS he said In terms that
were rather tame. Nobody had made or Sug-
gested a draft OF this letter aud he hal not
submitted ii to the President. In fact,
THE PkESIDENr KSEW NOTHING OF IT
lOT IilISe or lOuT afterwards, WiieD he
asked Mir. Pienepont whether he had taken
any action in the matter. and then ne told
him that be had written this letter, and he
sent him copy of it A couple Of days after
wards, on discovering that the letter had
been published in the Chicago apers on the
first OF February, himself and Mr.. BristOw
expressed great indignation in the presence
of the President st the gross imprOpriety OF
giving publicity 10 IT., and then tie President.
who did not manifest any feeling whatever
on the subject, remarked that he had never
read the letter. MIR. PierTspont further stated
That General BabcOCk admitted 10 him, on
the 81 of March, that he was Instrumental in
giving publ. Lefty to the letter, and defended
himself on The ground that they were trying
10 drown him, 10 destroy him, and that he
had the right To defend himself He Pierre
rOnt) called the Presidents attention next
day 10 BabcOck's admission. The committee
wsD ted 10 know why BabcOck did not call
for court of inquiry To ascertain whether
he had been guilty of conduct unbec0ming
an officer and gentleman, whether he was
siiil Commissioner Of Public buildings aud
Grounds, sc but Mr. PierrepOnt was unable
TO give Information on those points His ex
animation is 10 be continued next VI Dnday.

The Treasury Note and Bond Counter
letters.

THE PROCESS OF MANCFACTURE Ex-
Planned.
The arrest OF bogus bond makers, male by
the seci et service department of the United
States, has been mentioned in THE STAR.
Some time In the early part of last month
information reached the secret service in
this city that there were a number of persons
in Luzerne and Northampton counties of
pennsylvania, who were making plates
from which bank and Treasury notes and
also United States bonds could be made.
Chief Washburne and Assistant Chief Ben.
son at once took the matter in hand aud went
To scranton. where they learned that one
w. Ii. Barr had gone 10 Iowa from there
with number Of spurious bonds. Obtain
ing description of him, an officer was put
upon his trail, and, after following him mp,
succeeded in obtaining an Introduction 10
him. The Off er, who represented hun {
10 Barr at first as an insurance agent, soon
gained his confidence and finally, after eX-
changing VOWS OF confidence, Barr agree 10
take the officer to Scranton, where he said
his friends would furnish bim with all
the necessary materials for making plates
that would print the best bank note o. bonds.
On going TO Scranton the officer learned that
a man named Charles II. Wintermuta. OF
Portland, Northampton county, had pur-
chased q right from George q Wiaans the
owner OF the process, for 81 600. An assist .
ant was dispatched 10 Portland, ana Winter
mute was secured after having been Caug IT
IN the act Of selling thousand dollar boad.
Tuesday, George g. Winans AMI W. IL. Barr,
an alleged confederate, were arrested in
Scranton, when the former gave bail ia the
sum of IS coo, aud the latter $1,000. 1t is said
toat many are implicated in this sch 9me,
and fresh developments are expected atty.
WinaDs had always thought he was Sec are, ,
as he claimed TO simply sell the right of using
MS process, and did not lend himself to any
criminal purpose in couuterfeiting bonds or
notes. Several counterfeit bonds, together
with the composition, which is of peculiar
character, Is spread upon the face of gen.
uine bond, which hardens quickly apd leaves
perfect Impression. The cast is then cleo
trotyped and used for any number OF perfect
fac -slmiles.
