THE SPENCER INVESTIGATION.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-In the Spencer in.
vestigation Henry Moore testified he was on
Collector Widmer's bond. He had talk with
Spencer after Widmer's defalcation was known,
who said:
"Don't be uneasy; Widmer is all right-he
loaned out some money TO Mr.. Kinds for cleo
tioneering purposes, and will have it back in q
few days" The amount was either $1,000 or
$4,000
WASHINGTON, March 2S-In the Spencer
investigation Ben Delamos proved that Merri-
wether, q member Of the Courthouse Legis-
lature, about week before Spencer's election,
said to him, as money was being paid to
every one he was expected to remain in Mont
gomery just to vote for Spencer, that money
had to come. Witness replied that he should
be fixed; subsequently the same day Capt.
Whiting in the presence of Merrlwether
handed witness SIS to be divided between
them. Witness kept 81 and handed Merri-
wether So, who said that would do for while.
Gen. Morgan proposed to prove that Meri-
wether told witness that he was afterwards
paid more money; also that John Lamb, Q
member, showed witness 5000. which he said
he had gotten from Spencer, and also that
Spencer had promised him Federal appoint
ment The committee would not hear the
testimony.
Gen. Morgan then proposed to prove the
payment Of money by the declarations of
Whiting to members, upon the ground that .
prima facie case of conspiracy had been es-
tablished. The committee rejected the testi-
mony.
Senator Merrimon dissented, claiming that
such o conspiracy had been established by all
the testimony, and upon this proposition he
would appeal to the Senate and country.

Gen. Schenck was before the Foreign Re-
lations Committee to-day and will conclude
tomorrow. He said from sincere belief OF
the value of the mine and honesty OF the
sale, he bought and paid for the shares he
holds at pecuniary loss. He is prepared to
lay before the committee unquestionsble
proofs that the evidence which has been
taken is false-the Witnesses who gave 1t are
infamous and not worthy Of belief under
oath. The failure of the mine was owing to
mismansgement; if properly worked, it Is to-
day as valuable as was claimed when sold.
He objects to the mode Of examination. as
it is more likely to obscure than elicit the
truth. He asks the counsel to cross-examine
the Witnesses who have testified against him
and examine those he desired to produce.
Counsel accorded and Schenck commenced
his general statement, giving narrative Of his
connection with the mine, commencing 1871.
He so far exculpates himself from ell blame
and shows he lost money.
The Spencer investigation adjourned to
Thursday, when Gen. Morgan will close his
.ASa.

o'clock and, compelled the driver to quit the
road and drive into the woods, where the pas
sengers, eight in number. were made to give
up their money and watches.
After robbing the passengers the robbers
proceeded to rifle the mail They permitted

distance this side on the road slips of white
cloth were tied to bushes, indicating that it
might have been q signal to confederates on
the stage. The robbers took two of the stage
horses, cut the telegraph wires and left.
