to Dieppe in order to arrest the remainder
of the gang on the arrival of the train at
that town, but to no purpose, as an hour
and twenty minutes elapsed before could
induce them to take action, and even then
had to pay for the telegram myself. On
the way to the police station the prisoner
conversed freely with me- and said that if
would refrain from accusing him he
would refund my money and pay all ex-
penses I had been put to. He added
that he wanted to go TO London and not to
Paris; that should gain nothing by de-
tanning him, but if 1 released him 1 should
make something out of tin fact, some
thing handsome. 1 told him it was not a
question of money with me, but a matter
of principle, and that 1 should prove he
had robbed several of my countrymen;
that it was only just that he should be pun
ished, and that he would probably be an
older man than he then was before he
again visited London. Upon being taken
before the chief of police he pleaded guilty,
and will probably soon be brought to Paris
for sentence. The only Injuries which I
received during this fierce and protracted
encounter was the turning back of three of
my finger nails and tearing the sole from
one of my boots.''

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Before the Hill
investigation, Commissioner Coleman read
an affidavit reciting that the frauds had all
been committed in connection with the
stone dressing contracts, and setting forth
that testimony essential to the prosecution
could be obtained from persons residing
at Quincy, Mass, where some of the work
was done. He asked the committee to go
there.
futile held that Coleman was not
entitled to testimony, and he desired it
should not be allowed, as it was only COM
municative at best.
Ireland maintained that the testimony
was important primarily and proper to be
given.
The committee reserved its decision upon
the question. In regard to the Chicago
witnesses the chairman said that Wall
bridge was now on his way here, and the
collector expected to secure the attendance
of King & Woodman.
Coleman asked that King & Woodman
be authorized by telegraph to examine the
heating apparatus in the Chicago building,
so that they be able to testify clearly.
Hill was then placed on the stand. In
answer to charges of fraud in furnishing
elevators he said the committee experts
appointed by the secretary to select an
elevator for the Chicago building had re-
ported in favor of the Hall apparatus.
Their report was read in evidence.
