New Yorker? A. Gen. Barlow.
Several other kilograms were read, bu
were without significance. The last ont
related to the conclusion of the count, anC
stated that the State had gone for Hayes
The cross-examination showed that Johr
Wing was fictitious name for Judge Ty
ner, and that a like cipher was arranged
before General Brady left Washington
His cipher had been destroyed, and hi
presumed Tyner had destroyed his copy
First Assistant Postmaster Genera
Tyner was sworn. He had recently beer
informee by Gen. Brady that the commit
Zee were aboutto examine into the cyphel
kilograms and he feared as they or a por
ton them had been once in his possession
that it would lead to a amisconstruction anC
then mix him Gen. Brady in the affair
Tyner then desired to say word regard
ing the testimony Of the Western Unior
officials, Green, Carey and Grant.
The testimony Of Green to the effect tina
kilograms had passed between himself ant
John w. Foster concerning the sale o
certain offices, and between himself ant
Secretary Chandler, regarding the ap
pointment OF Indian agents, had no war
rant in their contents. The idea Of Carey
that the kilograms in question related i
a dirty piece Of political engineering, wa
entirely erroneous. He would verify thi
statement by producing all the telegram
sent by him hearing upon the subject un
der investigation.
Mr.. Tyner then related how he had OBJ
tanned possession OF the kilograms, ant
said he was now ready to produce then
in their entirety.
