John M. Bear, was about 81 or ~
years old, rather short and chunky,
with Q round smooth shaved face,
light hair and light complexion. The
young man had the latter part OF last

acknowledged that she had been de.

nurse) came there, and claimed to her
that sne had been married to this man
two years and three months. Had
nature taken les course she would not
have been confined before the last OF

Egan and Dixie.
Special Dispatch TO THH BnH.
CHICAGO, March %. In reply to
charges of lady Florence Dixie against
Patrick Egan, treasurer of the land
league, published In the New York
Times, Il gan was interviewed to-day
and gave his version of the controver-
sy. In her letter Lady Dixie assorted
she did not know Richard Pigott, and
never had any correspondence with
him. Egan points out that the pam
phlet of eighty pages placed In the
hands Of Dublin printing house last
September, containing tho grossest
dossible charges against the land
league, bore page of introduction
signed by Lady Dixie, but the remain
der of the pamphlet was In the hand
writing of Pigott. Proofs were sent
him, and after dozen or 80 copies
were printed, Lady Dixie became
frightened at the array of charges and
caused all the books to be destroy ed
and the types broken. "Unfortunately

have copy of the pamphlet, and am
aware that all her statements wore
taken from that book. In the face of
these facts, what becomes of her
q libbl to the effect that she never
met and does not know Pigott.
In her letter che calls on
me to prove my denial of
her charges. As matter of fact
she has no standing to attack the Land
League at all. She has never sub
scribed penny toward the fund, and
never pretended to have any sympathy
with the Land League and is not an
Irishwoman. She is not the daughter
of peer. Her recent fabrication
about the bogus attack on her should

He then repeats the story already

offered him (PigotD G500 to publish a
fictitious statement of the land league
account In his paper, and offered to
suppress the same for $500, which he
