CHICAGO, January 7th. - The Trj5aHc's
New York special says: Truth win republish
tomorrow fac-simile Of the Goodal letter
which accompanied the Morey letter when it
was sent to the Truth Office The object of
the republication is for comparison with a
fac-simile letter signed by Mira. ns-Carr,
which will be also published, as well as for
comparison with the Morey and Weaver
letters published in Truth Wednesday last.
Truth says the Goodal letter requires no fur
ther explanation. The Elyins-Carr letter,
however, has history which, like itself, has
never been given to the public. 1t was re-
ceived by Truth on the Sd of December, 1880,
and although it purports to have been written
on the cars going west, its envelope neverthe-
less bears the postmark OF Station E.
New York. The writer of the letter,
Trutb says, is correctly referred to by
masculine pronoun, notwithstanding
the signature begins with femi-
nine "Mrs.' Truth calls attention to
the evident identity OF the handwriting be-
tween it and the Goodall letter and between
both and the Morey and Weaver letters.
The identity between letter No. and the
Goodall letter. however, is not Immediately
apparent without the aid of the Elvins-Carr
letter. Truth says g In writing the Good
all letter it is evident that an attempt was
made to disguise any similarity between that
and the Morey letter which might appear to
have been written by the same hand. This
was at first successful, but the receipt of the
Elvins-C Carr letter presented sach perfect
connecting link between the other two that
there was no longer any doubt that the same
hand had written ali three" Truth con-
clues that the Weaver letter, Mercy letter,
Goodall letter and the Elvins Carr letter were
all written by the same man, and the Morey
forgery and the Weaver forgery both came
from the same source. Truth does not at this
time pretend to name the author Of the Ell
wins Carr letter, which is as follows
On Cars going West-Trub, you are right
about the Morey letter. 1t was nota forgery,
and but for the sake of q $4,000 position the
whole thing might come out at the proper
time Truth shall have all the particulars,
and they will be given to no other paper !;
but while the affair is given such prominence
in the papers, it would be disastrous to US to
give the true inwardness of that famous let
ter which has siyen Truth world wide fame,
and the Democratic party seventeen electoral
votes, the control of the United States SEN
ate, two Governors and three members of
Congress. Now, Trltth l hope you viii give
MoreY rest for while, and save your dear
paper any further expense.
Mrs. ELv1Ys. CARR.
P. 81 directed the envelope before leav-
ing home. E. G.
The letter is written with lead pencil and
the envelope addressed in ink. The paper
that gave publicity to the Chinese letter, fol-
lows up its proposed exposure in its columns
this morning. It presents fac-simile of the
letters which were received with the Mercy
and Weaver forgeries, and claims that the
letters were written by the same hard It
goes on to state that on the % Of December
letter written by Stilsou Hutchins at Wash
ington, to Stanley Huntley, Ecgte Office,
Brooklyn, was received by the latter gentle
man, who tore the envelope in pieces and
threw the pieces on the floor. He then re-
signed his position on the Eagle. These
pieces of envelope afterwards we're picked up
and put together, and several days after
wards, It is alleged, when the spy, Z. j.
Jayne, called upon Huntley, the latter de-
MED ever having received such letter but
what connection this envelope or Hutcbin's
letter has with the forgery, is not shown.
The newspaper then charges Huutley with
having written, on October 9Th, an article
that appeared in the Chicago Tribune 0cto-
Der 18th, several days before Kenward Philips
arrest, and before the Republican National
Committee knew he was suspected, and,
therefore, he was the forPer, because state
ments were made there of facts which did
not develop for several days, and were IN
known beyond small circle that knew of the
Morey letter. The dispatch to the Tribuas
is republished also, and very fattering an
nouncemeHt made that it was made public
before many of the facts mentioned in IL were
known even to the Republican National
Committee, who derived their knowledge
from telegraphic report of this letter sent
on from Chicago.
HUTcHISs AND THE FORGERY.
WASHINGTON, January 9TH. = Stilson
Hutchins' son says 1.-THE whole statement
about the Morey letter by Truth is simply
absurd and founded on misapprehension.
My father will return in day or two, and
may make public statement"
The New York parties attacked by the
Star as responsible for the Morey letter are
being heard from. Detective Lonergan says
the statements in the Tribune relating to him
are entirely inexcusable and idiotically false.
