THE POTTER COMMITTEE
Washington, Feb. 21.-At session of
the Potter committee to-day Manager Whit
ney. of the Western Union Telegraph com.
pany said that within the las. ninety days
there had been some kilograms withdrawn
from bis Office upon the order OF the execu.
tive committee and were sent to New York.
He had no idea what motive for the with.
drawing there was. The kilograms we're
from Gibson, of New Orleans to Williams,
correspondent Of the New York Bun at
Washington.
United States Marshal Wharton. New
Orleans, said he had some conversation
with Maddox during his stay in New Or
leans, relative to position In the secret
service division, if Maddox was appointed
chief of that bureau. Had spoken
to Maddox about bis (Wharton's)
coming TO Washington. Witness was ex-
amlned at length regarding the charge that
the party he commanded that went to
Ouchita parish, murdered number of ne
groes etc. He very emphatically denied
that any one was murdered BY his party
On the contrary the men who did the kill.
ing we're driven out of the parish by Kim
and his friend.
General Butler read letter from witness
(Wharton) to Dear Maddox it said
write me and let me know your address
when you get to Washington. Ifyou should
be placed at the head of the secret service
bureau, appoint me at once and order me
to New Orleans from here, Jacksonville,
Miss.,) as in that way, the government will
have to pay my expenses /; otherwise shall
have to pay them out of my own pocket.
Write two letters, one to Packard, inform
ing him that the president wants Jack
Wharton here at New Orleans on important
business, and to send him on Immediately.
OF course you will tell no one of my ap-
pointment"
Witness, continuing, said he had never
made any proposition to any member OF the
returning board That would lead him 10 en-.
tertain the idea that he (Wha,ton) wanted
to buy him out He was positive that if the
board did its duty, Hayes and Packard would
surely he elected. He was alarmed howev.
er, lest they would not do their duty.
