All the Guilty Men to be Punished.

TALK WITH COLONEL BLISS-WHY THE INFOR-
NATION WAS FILED-DORsEY's CASE TO BE
CONSIDERED NEXT.
Colonel Bliss was questioned this afternoon in
reference to the information filed against Gen.
Brady and others. He said:
'The method of procedure was new and l
think unexpected to Gen. Brady and the other
defendants; but We were forced to accept it as
the only one left. Owing to the recent adjourn
ment OF the grand jury until next month. it was
feared that unless we brought action in
this manner our case would be lost
through the expiration of the three
years limitation by statute within which COM
plant must be made. The action of Colonel
COrkhill in permitting the grand jury to
adjourn. considering the serious injury to our
case that might have followed, was great sur
prise to me and to my associates Whether it was
Intentional or not do not know. Colonel Cork
hill says it was not The information we have filed
is equivalent to an indictment, and is accom-
panied with warrants for the arrest of the per-
sons charged with conspiracy. Their arrest,

all the charges that may be brought. AS to
the result. of course no one can tell. long
ago gave up prOphesying the result of criminal
cases. l believe the testimony is sufficient to
send every one of them to the penitentiary.
The next step now in the case will be the trial
before the Supreme Court of the District How
soon that can be reached cannot tell. We are
ready any time. The other eases will be pro-
ceeded with in the regular way before the grand
jury !!;.,.

=" am glad you asked that question" replied
Col. Bliss, because it would occur to almost
every one upon hearing of the proceedings
against Brady and others. 1 am working on
Dorseys case now, and shall take some of the
papers to New York with me. He will be at
tended to next. The President is very much in
earnest m the matter, and is determined to push
every guilty man to the wall. Dorsey will be
prosecuted with as much yigor as any of the
