IL Of Il. FL.
the MOrey letter. the TT'ibune's Washington
correspondent says Hewitt is anxious to
have the forgery exposed. He has said it is
understood if Congress would undertake the
investigation of the Morey letter forgery, he
would be glad to reveal everything he knows
about it. In view Of Hewitt's eagerness to
have the truth known, for his own sake
as well as for the sake of Gartield's momory,
and in contradiction of the fact that
if Dana did have the forged letter in his pos
session some time before its publication, and
after careful investigation did pronounce it
forgery, it would seem to be no more than
might reasonably be expected of that gentle
man that he should let it be known who
sought to deceive him with forged letter.
Mr.. Dana, if this story is true, appears to be
in possession of information which the public
would be very glad to share with him.
