THE REAL ESTATE POOL,
The statement that the Committee on
the Real Estate Pool examined no wit
nesses on Saturday because all desired to
be excused is an error. Charles A. El.
bridge applied Friday to be examined on
Saturday, but was told he was not needed.
Eldridge informed the committee he
knew all about the pool, being one Of its
five members. Mr.. Hillyer, one Of the
four Of Sunderland, Hillyer and Stewart,
whose purchase Of property is especially
alluded to in The subpoena served on
Kilbourne and Latta, also request
ed to be heard by the committee. In his
note to the committee Hillyer says: ~
will state to you generally that this prop
erty, consisting OF unimproved lots in the
northwest part OF the city, and OF which
the purchase price was about $3.50. 900,
belongs exclusively to Mr.. Sunderland
and myself, and no one else has ever,
directly or indirectly, had an interest in
it or connection with US, except the small
interest once held by ex-senator Stewart,
as explained by him to.the investigating
committee Of the last Congress. The title
to this property was placed in Mr.. Lattas
hands as trustee simply for the sake Of
convenience. Neither Of US had any coE-
nection with the pool in which Jay Cooke
was interested or with any other pool or
parties whatever.
COL. DYER CHANGES HIS OPINION.
The special committee on the so-called
whisky frauds in Missouri examined,
yesterday, Colonel Dyer, United States
District Attorney at st. Louis. The ex.
animation lasted about 8 hours, and was
exhaustive. 1t was, however, rather dis.
appointing to all the committee, as Mr..
Dyer now seems to think that all the sus.
piclons he frankly admits he at one
time entertained OF everybody at Wash.
ington, except Secretary Bristow and So
licitor Wilson, we're groundless. The
testimony taken in by the grand jury
was given TO the defense by a juror
named Fox, one ofthe two who afterward
came here and gave the testimony away,
getting in some way his son appointed to
10 the same Office.
Colonel Dyer left for St. Louis last
evening. Mr., Knott informed him that
he would be needed again within week
or ten days.
