on the 18TH of November, 1876, Weed
photographed from Columbia to Henry Hav-
emeyer- otherwise Colonel William 7.

Later on the same day he telegrn phcd !;
"Shall leave tonight for Baltimore Meet

gen at Barnum's In Baltimore, early Monday
morning. go at 10 tonight.
The Tribune has already shown how
Smith NJ, Weed, leaving Columbia on
Saturday night, November IS, did arrive
at Barnum's Hotel in Baltimore carly
Monday morning, the 10Th, registering
there by his true name. 1t was also
shown at the time OF the publication OF
the dispatches, that there was every rea-
son to believe that the "safe man" met
hin with "the stuff" according to appoint
ment, and that the failure Of the scheme
was attributable to other causes than neg
lect Of the New York parties to put up
the money.
The Tribune has now discovered the
"saIe man." and made the chain Of evil
dence complete. The register Of the Mount
Vernon Hotel, small and quiet house in
Baltimore, where person Of retiring dis
position might be safe from curious eyes,
shows among the arrivals early on Mon
day morning, November Doth, William T..
Pelton OF New York. At 10 o'clock
Mr.. Pelton with friend who had accom-
panied him from this city, took a carriage
Early in the day the friend was seen
with Mr. Smith Weed at Barnum's Hotel.
The Tribune goes on TO say:

that journey 70 Baltimore at such hu-} 1~d crit
