REsPoNDESCE OF THE ROBBERS TO MRS. STEW

THIS PURPOSE GOES DIRECTLY TO ExJUDGE
HILroS-DR. SIDNEY H. CARNEY's PART IN The
NEGOrIATTOSs-OS BEHALF OF MR.. HILTON HE
OFFERS S25, 900 FOR The BODY WITHOUT TIE
CONVICTION OF The ROBBERS.
1t is now apparent that Mrs. Stewart has
for many months been made to believe by
her cOunsellOrs that the stolen body of her
husband had been recovered. A lawyer Of
the highest standing, who was selected by
Patrick II. Jones as a friend of the lady, and
one who would be most likely to Gndeceive
her, says he received a copy of the robbers
correspondence, but did not show it to Mrs.
Stewart or acquaint her with its character.
He carried the copy to Mr.. Hilton, who had a
copy of his own, and the latter, discovering
that Mr.. Jones was trying to circumvent him,
began to mistrust the motives of Mr.. Jones.
MIR. Hilton sent DR.. Sidney II. Carney, medical
examiner of the New-YOrk Life Insurance
Company, with the offer of $4,000 for the
body, irrespective of the capture of the rob
bers, 20 Mr.. Jones, who declined the offer.
Dr. Carney worked on the case as an amateur
detective. On Wednesday, the day the de-
tails of the negotiations were made public,
DR.. Carney left the city to be absent for sew

was essential TO his safety that he give up the
articles and that II was not detrimental 10 tneu
interests and the thieves accented the explanation
ARE THE THIEVES IN THE CITY,
Mr. Jones thinks it probable that some Of the rob-
bers at least, in the city, but he says that hr.
Hilton's insnuatiou that the letters to him never
came from distance Is entirely disproved by the
envelopes. They bear different postmarks. such as
Montreal and Boston, and the receiving mark otthe
New-York Post Office. Besides. they were delivered
to him IN the ordinary way by the letter-carrlers.
And as for tie express package which contained
the cofnplate and other articles, it is only neees-
sary to call at the express Office to see the receipt
The robbers said they brought the cOtin-plate
