CHICAGO, November 11.-Lindsey's story
is as follows: His real name is James
O'Brien. He is q native Of Washington,
where he has lived nearly all his life. He
has done nothing in particular for a living;
is one Of the rough men Of the city, and
has been in the penitentiary twice for the
disorder. He was sent for to go to Cum
berland, Ind, just before the election, by
Vim. NJ. Price. candidate for Presidential
Elector on the Democratic ticket, and
when he arrived Price and a police officer
named Birmingham instructed him in the
role which he was to play in this city in re-
gard to the Morey letter. They taught
him the story he was to tell took him to
prominent mines in the neighborhood, and
tried to drill him into an exact knowledge
of their location and features /; but as sub
sequent events proved, the time was too
short or the man too stupid. When he
was supposed to be thoroughly informed,
Price and Birmingham bought q ticket and
sent him to this city, consigned to Truth.
In the Office OF this paper he was ques-
toned and given money. with the promise
Of more when the work was completed.
His testimony, from beginning to end. was

confession Morey was returned to the GUS

In the absence Of Harris counsel, the lat
ter's partner said "As for Mr.. Hart and
his counsel, they are entirely innocent OF
any improperly in the matter. Mr.. Hart
caused O'Brien to distinctly understand,
before he gave his evidence, that in as far
as he told the truth he HART would stand
by him, but il he caught him lying, he
would be one Of the first to urge his pun
ishment."
The Times says The only members of
the Democratic National Committee in the |
city yesterday were Abram s. Hewitt and
VIM. L.. Scott. Mr.. Hewitt said he knew
nothing beyond what he had previously
testified to in court. He had spoken the |
whole truth, and had hoped to be re-
iieved from any further connection with
the Chinese letter. Mr.. Hewitt being re-
minded that O'Brien had sworn that he
was directed to come to New York by the
National Democratic Committee, replied
that shortly after the alleged Chinese
letter was published, dispatches print
ed In the Washington Post. in
which O'Brien was said to be acquainted
with Morey, came under his notice. He
advised the committee to bring O'2rien to
New York, and q telegram was sent to a
member Of the MARYLAND COMMITTEES. to
see whether be could not be induced to
repeat the newspaper interview under oath.
The result was that O'Brien came to New
YORK. Mr.. Hewett knew nothing more
about him; he did not even know whether
he called at the Democratic headquarters;
he was pretty sure he was not examined
by any member OF the committee. Mr..
Scott said plainly that he did not wish to
be subjected to an interview. He had re-
ceived an mixing Of the confession, and
was safisied they were infamous lies out
o. whole cloth. There was no necessity
for saying anything more. The Demo-
cratic National Committee had nothing to
do with the defense Of Philip. Mr.. Scott
remembered that on the Saturday previous
10 the election, . telegram was received
from an unknown man in Lynn, Mass,
laying that . nephew Of H. L. Morey was
here and willing to swear that his uncle
existed. Happening to be In charge Of the
