More of the Morey Forgery.
NEW YORK, January 5th.-Jayne, the de-
tectiye who has been working up the Morey
forgery for Truth, said the plan was con-
ceived by Stilson Hutchens of the Washing
ton Post, Colonel Headly and a detective
named Lonergan. The envelope was one
which Lonergan got General Garfield to send
him, inclosipg some seeds from the Agricult-
ural Department at Washington. Careful
examination, Jayne says, has shown that
Lonergan's address was erased. Jayne's
statements are to be taken with some allow
ance.
NEW York, January 5th.-The Tribune
will publish some interviews respecting
Truths story about the way the Morey letter
was manufactured, seeking to throw the
blame on Stilson Hutchins, Colonel Hadley,
Lonergan the detective, and others. 1t was
said the envelope had been found TO be one
sent by General Garfield to Lonergan,
containing reeds. George Bliss said there are
some fatal defects in the story. The envel-
ope containing the forged letter bears the
stamp of one of the postoffice sub-stations in
this city. No letter addressed to any point
below Canal street goes to that sub-station.
It is delivered direct from the main
office. The Lonergan address is No.
50 Nassau street. The letter, therefore,
would be sent from the main Office. The en-
larged copy of the envelope shows that it was
addressed to a person named either Cox or
Fox. The name bears no resemblance to
Lonergan. There is nothing to show that
the envelope ever bore the frank of Garfield.
1t is not conceivable that this could
have been erased, for it would have
given the envelope an additional stamp of
authenticity. With reference to the allega-
ton that Stilson Hutchins was cognizant Of
the forgery, | may say [ have no evidence of
that kind. There is much connected with
the case which it would not have been polite
or proper to make public at present.
