pied by these gentlemen and found them
there in company with Major Arthur

nreparing to write. i inquired the where
abouts Of Mr.. r. Il. HUBBARD. but no one
OF the gentlemen seemed disposed TO ih'-

declined TO leave the room with me, whefc-
upon | asked him about the key before the
other two gentlemen, but he declined TO
hold any conversation on the subject.
I then left the room, and was followed
down stairs by Mr.. Moss, who remarked
TO me: We have our man all right; he l.
not in the city, and we are not compelled
to diyulre his whereabouts. But you keep

possibility OF his being mistaken a to Mr..
Moss making the remark to him above
