Il QOu DtiieN6 that DeuDlS HhS made
any statement or confession; perhaps
McLin has. All that there Is to Say
about the Archer district and Alachua

iieve Hayes would have his baggage
checked for Fremont before Tnden
could leave Grammeicy Park.
The Florida delegation in Congress
has no know ledge OF the confessions,
except of rumors That they are coming.
Senator Jones. Democratic Senator,

under whose administration McLln
acted as Secretary OF stale, has Lot
seen McLlu's confession, but THINKS
