STOLEN STEWART.
The Body Recovered and Sc
curely Guarded.
National Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star.
NEW York, Jan. 16-It is stated upon
authority SO trustworthy as to leave but
little if any doubt ofthe entire correctness
of the report, that Mrs. Stewart has
said to at least two persons,
Ia gentleman and LADY, within the last six
days, that the body of her husband had
been recovered; that it had been delivered
to Judge Hilton, and that it has been
placed by him in a secure vault and we'll
guarded, there to remain until the compile
ton of the crypt in the Stewart Memorial
Cathedral in Garden City.
1t has been stated on equally trustworthy
authority that Judge Hilton was ap-
preached some weeks ago by the represen-
tative of well-known firm of lawyers in
this city in reference to the restoration of
the body.
This the lawyer said could be effected
upon certain conditions
First-That 100000 in cash should be
paid down when the body was produced.
Second-Ihat no questions should be
asked further than necessary for the abso-
lutte Identification of the body.
Third-That pledge of honor would be
given that no attempt would be made to
trace or arrest the robbers.
Negotiations upon. this basis were begun
and concluded ten days ago. $50, 900 in
cash, instead of the 100000, first asked,
was paid. The identification was entirely
satisfactory, and the body was taken to its
present resting place.
Attempts were made yesterday to see
Judge Hilton concerning these statements,
but without success. Exactly where
the body now is is not yet
made public, but as to the above
facts Mrs. Stewart had herself given them,
in full detail and with no reservation, at
Garden City. There are no indications
that unusual efforts are being made to push
forward work on the crypt.

Resignation.
The press dispatches from Rome announce
the unwelcome intelligence that the Pre-
feet Congregation Propaganda Eide has re-
ported in favor of accepting the resignation
of Archbishop Purcell, and that the Pope
is expected to approve of this conclusion
1t is also stated that the question of
successor is already under consideration,
but the truthfulness of this statement the
Catholic Telegraph very much doubts. and
state tes that the entire rumor is probably
based on the fact that the letter of resigna-
ton has been received at the office of the
Propaganda. We were also informed at

that nothing either official or otherwise has
been heard from Rome by His Grace.
