The Tewksbury Investigation.

GOVERNOR BUTLER BRAVES THE COMMITTEE
AND EXPRESSES HIS CONTEMPT FOR ITS
CHAIRMAN'S DECISIONS.
BOsToN, April 1S.-In to-day's proceed
ines before the committee investigating the
abuses at the TewkSbury almshouse one OF
Governor Buffers witnesses, fallen
woman from New York, who had formerly
been an inmate OF the almshOuse, told the
story OF her experiences in that institution,
and what she witnessed there Of Outragcs
and inhumanities, tranScending all that has
heretofore been told 10 the committee and
almost beyond belief.
The counsel for the officers OF the insti-
fulton endeavOred TO crOss-eXamine The
woman as TO her character, when Governor
Butler violently objected to any questions
which would drag down the witness.
Counsel Brown referred Governor Butler
10 his own methods OF cross-eXamnation
in legal trials heretofore, which were much
verse than anything attempted here.
The counsel was sustained by vote OF
10 4. and this brought from Governor
Butler an attack upon the committee.
The counsel bluntly told Governor But
Ter that his investigation had been institu-
fed and was carried on for political eject,
and was farce.
The chairman said that remark from
the Governor that another TO vote
would hand this committee down As an-
other committee was handed down to the
country by it, to : vote was highly impro-
per- and he hoped no more political allu'
slons would be made by any OF the coun'
/ sci. 49,,
The Governor said he had rs little re-
spect for the chairman's opinion AS the lat
ter had for his, and he had no respect iol
! the charman's decisions.

Anrntricate Land Case.


INTERESTING DECISION OF THE FIRST COMP
TROILER OF The UNITED STATES TREAsC-
BY.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 1S.-A case
wa, decided to-day by First-Comptroller
Lawrence. of the Treasury Department,
which i, considered OF Importance. A cit
izen Of Tennessee. named John j. Pulllam,
employed a Washington lawyer TO prose
cute claim against the United states IN
1850. and in 1889 the claim was allowed and
a draft for the amount, PAYABLE TO the
claimant. was delivered TO the attorney.
This attorney claimed fee OF $1,000,
which he assigned 10 the German-AHeri-
can National Bank. which failed, and Pul-
liams draft was delivered to the receiver OF
the bank. Pulliam died in Tennessee, ana
an administrator was appointed in that
State. An administrator was also APP
Dointed in the District Of Columbia. The
receiver applied to the First Comptroller
TO instruct the Treasurer to pay the draft
on the endorsement OF the District admin
istrator. which was refused, because the
Supreme Court. in Vaughn rs. Northup,
IL Peters, |, had decided that in such a
case pavmcnt must be made to the Tennes-
see administrator. The receiver then filed
the creditors bill i'm equity IN the District
against the District administrator attorney,
and hy published notice attempted to make
the Tennessee administrator party de-
PENDANT. 4 decree was made that the re-
ceiver should endorse and collect the money
on the draft. retain $1,000, and pay the
residue in court for the Tennessee admin
istrator. The decree was presented TO the
First Comptroller, with the request that he
instruct the Treasurer to make payment.
Comptroller Lawrence decides that the
title to the draft is vested in the Tennessee
administrator; that the latter could not be
sued in this District, even il he was found
here. and consequently could not be sued
on published notice; and that the decree
OF the District Court did not affect the
rights oi the Tennessee administrator.
The possession OF the draft by the District
administrator did not affect the result. The
Comptroller SAYS this conclusion is required
bv public interests. Citizens i'm the states
will not deal with the Government if credi-
tors may come from al parts Of the United
States and prevent them from receiving
payment Of money due them, so that they
NAV nav all creditors alike and not permit
a preference to such as those who come to
Washington to bring suit. The Treasurer
will be informed that he can only lawfully
