1859, 1870 and 1871 in which Frear was not
active, either as principal on agent. and that
he can confirms him l1weed) In many OF his
statements, which, as ut first presented to the
Attorney General, were regarded Us instif-
iieiept and bearing on their face evidence that
they were not full and frank In his confess
sion as to his aecompliees in crime, which
Tweed lnd promised In his wsl-known letter
Of suppHeatiOn to Charles VConer. Tweed
hearing this fact, supplemented his confess
sion with q second paper relating to the Earle
and Central Railroad companies and his con- con-
nection Herewith. the voucher robbery. and
other matters.
Tweed was brought into relations with Jay
Gould and Hugh Hastings ut Albany. Twsedl
introduced Gould and Fisk to Sweeney. who
had been appointed receiver Of the Erie con-.
trary to their wishes In order to again OBJ
tain their control, arrangements were made
by which Sweeney was to receive, and did re-
ceive, S150,00D for his fees, which amount was
divided in equal parts between Sweeney,
Smith. Hughes and Tweed. From that time
on all legislation desired by Tweed and money
expended for such purposes was betrayed by
Gould and Fisk, and disbursed by Tweed,
Barber and Won Veeh, under Tweed's direc-
sands were expended in this way. Tweed
also brought Fisk into communication with
Judge Barnard, who thereafter granted them
oil the judicial aid they received. Fisk and
GeHla contributed handsomely TO the election
of his friends.
Tweed says that In 1863, as he thinks, when
the great rivalry between the Central and the
Erie was manifested in the Legislature, he
was paid by and espoused the side Of the New
York Central, and was authorized by John
cognzed agent OF that road in Albany, to
procure, by purchase il necessary, the votes
OF Senators for the Central Railroad interests.
Tweed says that shortly after the nomina-
Judges of the Court Of Appeals there was m
interview ut Sweeney's house, ut which Jay
Could Peter b. Sweeney and VIM. M. Tweed
were present. Gould was exceedingly anxious
to elect Charles Folger, and the election Of
Folger was therefore provided for. Tweed
has, however, never had anything to do with
Folger personally.
Mr.. Townsend says "wait."

send, counsel for VIM. M. Tweed, said to-day
that he had q theory for the purpose with
which Tweed's statement was made public,
hat hft 1f.ffr
subject for publication, and that until he had
made this publication he desired to say MOTH
ing on the subject. 1t was understood that
the exposure had not been eonnived at by
absolutely nothing Of It, He refused to deny
that the statement was correctly published,
but said that that would appear when Mr..
Tweed should take the stand tomorrow; and
from his conversation left the impression that
the account was seriously inaccurate and gar
