thy is expressed on all sides for Weaver,
and while no one defends his conduct,
the feeling is general that Sparks is
mainly responsible for the fracas.
Sparks is n man Of large physical form
and is fully a head taller than Weayer,
who is a maj OF medium size with in-
dicat'ons Of great muscular strength
badly, activity and personal courage.
In disposition he is the opposite Of
Sparks, who is blrstering and domi-
nesring in his manner and cross and
irritable towards all who differ with
him. His service in the house has been
marked bygreat ~prctcnsions rather than
fair ability, and he Is not popular even

ed parties are making strong Efforts 10

mental in securing their aequittaIi for
this purpose they Lave secured tie seT-
iees Of Is. q. Jayne, who MAS some
years sgO in the government secret
service in this city; who, it Il stated,
left that service for reasons entirely sat-
~isfaetory TO the government. II has
come 10 my knowledge tonight, that
Jayne is pretty well convinced that he
has secured the identity OF the arch
c~onspiratOrs, who not only wrote the
Morey letter. but who subscribed per-
jured testimony, Of which 50 much
has been published.
It appears that Jayne reported yes
terday TO his principal that on Friday
night he Swallowed the eonspirators. OF
whom he said there were four, 10 a
house at the lower end Of third avenue.
They were Stillson Hutchins, Of WASH
ington, ii. ii. Hadley, who is said TO
have worked up the Cumberland wit
ness, O'Brien, Thomas L. Lonergan,
the New York detective who originally
turned up Philips, and Stanley Huntley,
formerly Of the Brooklyn Englo. He
was, he said, satisfied tlat lac had the
parties who had been guilty Of the
whole affair, and the next thing was to
get an unquestionable clew 10 the rea-
son for their congregating 50 mysteri-
ously, which he was morally satisfied
was for the paIrpose OF discussing the
approaching trials and revising the
schemes for their personal safety.
On Saturday evening Hutchins, Lon
ergan and Huntley met purely by ac-
cident at the Gilsey house, where
they were Swallowed by Jayne's men,
who were dumbfounded later TO sec
them joined by John I. Davenport, who
had dropped into the hotel. and, know
ing all tho parties, engaged in a friend
ly chat. This has completely dumb
founded the astute Jayne, and lie is
now vainly endeavoring to settle Day
cnport's connection with his snpposi-
tious gang OF conspirators. Further
more, Hadley is not in the city, and
neither OF tho other three mentioned
were at the place designated on Friday
night. The operations OF Jayne at first
created some comment in certain cir
clcs here, but his disposition TO talk
about the matter and his declarations
that he was backed up by n newspaper
oncer now In such an uncomfortable
legal trap, has greatly initiated against
what he is doing and no confidence
whatever is placed in his opera
lions.
