A. II. Stewards Body


TheNew York Sun asserts that it
has the most reliable authority for
the statement that Mrs, A. Il.
Stewart has told confidential friends
that the remains of Mr.. Stewart
were recently delivered to Judge
Hilton, on payment of reward OF
$50, 600. The Sun further asserts,
that Judge Hilton was approached
some weeks ago by the representa-
tive of a well known firm of law
yers in this city in reference to the
restoration of the body. This, the
lawyer said, could he effected upon
certain conditiuns-first, that 800,
600 in cash should be paid down
when the body was produced
second. that no questions whatever
should be asked further than was
necessary for the absolute identifi-
cation of the body; third, that a
pledge of honor should be given
that no attempt should be made to
trace OF to arrest the robbers.
Negotiations Upon this basis were
begun and concluded ten days ago i:
$50, 900 in cash. instead of the
500, 900 first asked, was paid. The
Identification of the remains was
entirely satisfactory, and the body
was taken to its present resting
places
