Fraud.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29th.-The
Call will tomorrow print the fol-
lowing interview with General
Rosecrans with regard to the tele-
gram from the East which charges
that the signature TO the Morey
letter was copied from q
letter written by General Garfield
to General Rosecrans in 1865, which
letter is now claimed to be in the
possession of certain parties in the
East:
Reporter-Can you give any ex.
PLANTATION of the manner in which
this story originated?
Gen. Rosscrans-No, sir, / can
not. 1t was evidently manufac.
tured out of whole cloth. Some
explanation had to be offered, and
they probably selected me as the
best scapegoat from the fact that 1
was SO far away, and probably be-
cause have been friendly to Gar.
field.
Reporter-Then there is no found
alton to the story that you sent the
letter East?
General-No, sir. The whole
charge is absurd and willfully
false. l never sent any such letter,
and l pronounce the story an infa-
nous lie.
Reporter-Do you notice that the
telegram insinuates that you know
ipgly lent your aid to the scheme
of forgery?
General-Yss, sir. 1 can't ex-
press my contempt for men who
would stoop so low. It is an In
famous outrage, and I just want to
say one word about that foolish lit.
tie fudge speech which Garfield re.
Gently delivered at Mentor. l never
yet have attacked Garfield, but
dc now, and l pronounce him q
fraud-an unmitigated fraud.
The General throughout the in.
terview labOred under great excite
ment, his vehemence causing him
to tiemble violently. He de.
nounced all parties connected with
the charge of completely Ia I'm.
measured terms.
