Moro Of the srorey Letter Business.

Morey letter than has heretofore got either
into print or the Courts. There is no doubt
the prosecution of Philip and the proprietors
and editor of the paper which published the
forgery viii be pushed vigorously by the off
Gals who have worked the case up, the points
of which have been given with the utmost
minuteness, and that no compromise will be
accepted on the part of the prosecution. The
recent Investigations of the Government
detectives have more thoroughly convinced
them that their original suspicious were
correct, and the authorship of the letter and
the guilt of the publication belong where they
were planted at the outset. Notwithstand
ing this the indicted parties are making
strong efforts to put evidence in rebuttal that
will overthrow that against them, and be in
strumental in securing their acquittal. For
this purpose they have secured the services
of B. J. jayne who was some years ago in
Government service in this city, who, it is
stated, left thatseryice forreasons entirely sat
Isfactory to the Government. It has come to
my knowledge tonight that Jayne is pretty
well convinced that he has secured the iden-
tity of the arch conspirators, who not only
wrote the Morey letter, but who subscribed
the perjured testimony, of which SO much
has been published. It appears that Jayne
reported yesterday to his principals that on
Friday night he Swallowed the conspirators,
of whom he said there were four, to house
at the lower end of Third avenue. They
were Stilison Hutehins, Of Washing
ton; ii. Fl. Hadley, vino is said to
have worked up the Cumberland witness
O'Brien ; Thomas E. LonergaD, the New
York detective who originally turned up M.
P. Philip, and Stanly Huntley, formerly of the
Brooklyn Eagle. He was, he said, satisfied
that he had the parties who had been guilty
of the whole affair, and the next thing was
l. II, -.
for their congregating so mysteriously, which
he was morally satisfied was for the purpose
of discussing the approaching trials and de-
wishing schemes for their personal safety. Sat
urday evening Hutchins, Lonergan and
Huntley met purely by accident at the Gill
sey House, where they were Swallowed by
Jayne's men, who were dumbfounded later
on to see them joined by John I. Davenport,
who had dropped in at the hotel. and know
ing all the parties engaged in friendly chat.
This has completely dumbfounded the astute
Jayne, and he now is vainly endeavoring to
settle Davenport's connection with his sup
positions gang of conspirators Further
more, Ha6ley is not in the city, and neither
of the other three mentioned was at the
place of designation on Friday night. The
operations of Jayne at first created some
comment in certain circles here, but his dis
position to talk about the matter, and his
declarations that he was backed up by the
newspaper concern now in such uncomfort-
able legal trap, has greatly initiated against
what he is doing, and no confidence whatever
is placed in his operations.
Chicago Physicians Puzzled.
CHICAGO. December 20th.-The Daily Meas
says The doctors are puzzled and interested
by peculiar case on the West Side at Sc
Sealey avenue. A. Crawford aged Ia. son

times, and lately has had severe attacks,
which alarmed his parents. His infrmity.
comes on him usually after taking cold
Great black patches appear on his body,
from which blood drops the size of pin
head. Blood also flows from his mouth
nose ears, stomach and even from his blad-
der and kidneys. No pain accompanies
these discharges, but they make his blood
thin and weaken him. A sudden fright or
excitement will easily check the flow. He is
mentally bright, and his father. mother,
brothers and sisters are strong and healthy.
The physicians who have taken into question
his case propose sending him to Edinburgh
and London, for examination by the Acad-
envy of Surgeons.
