CROOKED WHISKY AND CROOKED
DOINGS.
What an Arrested Ex- Collector Saws

SAN FRANCISCO, April lI.-COlonel A. C.
Dawes had an intervieW to-day with Chas.
h. WILKINSON, eX collector OF Internal reve-
nue. for the western district of Missouri, ar
rested here on the Sth instant for the en-
bezZlement OF stamps and conspiracy TO de-
fraud the revenue. Wilkinson asserts that
he is guilty OF no crime. AS to the approval
of United States gaugers' accounts he says
Blttfnger was elected 10 the legislature and
employ ed Beigensen 10 do tie gauging The
b;ls We're approved in Bittenger's name by
ORDERS FROM MDONALD AND JOYCE.
He is convinced since Bittenger pleaded
guilty that the conspiracy to defraud the
government extended throughout northern
and western Missouri, and that Joyce, Nc.
Donald and BitteDger shared the profits, bu Z
he maintains that IL will be shown bNavi-
dence that distillerS and members OF the
.rlbe" were Instructed TO withhold all
Knowledge of the conspiracy from the COL
ector. From fugitive distillerS whom he
met In Melbourne, he learned that Joyce
represented TO the disIillers OF northern Mis-
souri, that

were levied for party purposes, and trans
mitted TO BaDcock in Washington. II was

signed a petition for Bittenger pardon, in
Guiding Messrs. Harvey and Ingalls,, of Kan
saS, COckerell, of Mo, Morton, of Ind
Spencer, of Ala, Hitchcock and Paddock, of
Neb. Wilkinson says he has suffered all
agony possible from the consequences OF his
moral cOwardice, and had determined be
lore his arrest 10 meet The matter and
VIII not ask bail on his return. At
TIE time of his leaving st. Joseph, Mis-
souri,, o., he says owing the whisky frauds
settlements he could not have Ootainei bail
under the indictments, which, without jas
ice, threatened him, but acted suicidally IN
leaving as he did. Wilkinson will probably
go eastward, in custody, on Thursday next.

DETECTIVE BELL CONTRADICrED
AGAIN.
What Collector Lewis WeitzeI Saws

CINCINNATI, April lin an interview
with Colonel Lewis Weiizel, revenue cOllec-
tor, concerning charges OF implication in
whisky frauds with one Hogue, of Nenia,
Ohio, Colonel WeitZel says:-I have nothing
to say, except that, so far as / am concerned,
that there is not one grain Of truth IN the
statement Of Detective Bell. Up TO the time
HOgue went TO 81, Louis believe he was an
honest man, but he was there made TO be
lieve that General Babcock and the whole
administration was In the ring, and that
while money was going he might as well
HAVE PART OF THE "swAG."
Senator Morton interested himself in the
case, believing he was uniustly treated, but
as soon as he found out Hogue had betra yed
the trust he, with Tom Young. Immediately
dropped him. District Attorney Bateman
denies that he refused TO arrest Hogue or put
bis case before the grand jury The grand
jury lid not meet until after the election aud
that fact sufficiently answered the assertion.
he was OF the opinion that Hogue could not
be prosecuted in this district, but in Indiana,
where the body of crime had been commit
ted, and with this view he put himself IN
communication with the district attorney at
indianapolis TO ascertain what value
the kilograms mentioned would have
