" spectacle of the remains of the inmates of

COMMISSIONER HAYT.
The Charges Against Him Sustained by
the Report of the Indian Commission.

The Charges Against Him Sustained by
the Report of the Indian Commission.
NEW YORK. Feb. At is stated that the
report of the Indian commissioners in session
here, so far as completed, finds that all the
evidence sustaining the charges against Com
missioner Hayt regarding the Arizona mining
scheme is true; that Edward Knapp, Mr..
Hayt's agent in the affair, turns out to be his
own son, Edward Knapp Hayt, and that the
affidavit against H. L. Hart, agent at the San
Carlos agency, was not transmitted to the
Department of Justice until after Gen: Fisk
had brought his charges against Mr.. Hayt.
The report, it is further stated, would only
deal with charges against Mr.. Hayt in regard
to the Arizona mining matter. 1t was said
that the case would be reopened today to per-
nit Mr.. Hayt to put in some additional evil
dence on his own behalf. Major FL. G. Bridg-
man. late agent of the Stockbridge Indians,
has called on the commission in reference to
his case. He is said to be seeking reappoint-
ment. The charges of misrepresentation of In
dian funds have been made against him, but
he denied that these were true, and said that
they were "trumped up" by timber ring OF
Wisconsin, because he defeated their project
for plundering the Indians under his care.
