THE SPRINGER COMMITTEE.
More Evidence That Prosecution Does
Not Always Prosecute.

Not Always Prosecute.
WAsHNGToN, D. c., April John L.
Sargent, Independent detective, testified
before the Springer Committee, He stated
that he was employed by Colonel Cook in
June, 1851, and served until January, 1882,
as a detective for the Department ofJus-
tiCe in the Star-route cases He was paid
50 day and allowed twenty-five cents a
day for car fare. lie was directed by
Colonel Cook, the attorney of the De-
partment of Justice, to ascertain the
names, vocation, general habits, asSoca-
tions, etc, of grand and petit jurors. He
reported verbally TO Colonel Cook and
Mr. Ncwcomb daily. Never reported in
writing in the Star-route cases. Wit
ness related the circumstances relating
to the capture and escape Of Captain
Howgatc He didn't know of any efforts
being made to recapture Howgatc. Wit
nGs had no doubt of the ability of the Gov
ern ment TO convict Ottman had the
prosecution been properly pursued.
CROSs-EXAMINED,
Witness stated that during the time he
was in the employ of the Government he
gave information to General McGibbon,
who represented the SaulSburys. After he
left the employment of the Government
he worked in the capacity Of detective for
A. b. Williams, attorney for Stephen Dor
sey,
Horace Whitney, assistant cashier of
the Treasury, testified that he had no
doubt that the money recovered from
Ottman was the same that was stolen
from the Treasury by Geo. W. McEllresh.
The detective testified that on the arrest
OF llallcck in the Ottman case, on his
way to Washington he was detected in
figuring division Of the money stolen,
which was evidence conclusive to the
mind of the witness that lIalleck was
guilty with Ottman in the robbery.
During the time that Ottman was in
custody witness gave in evidence of his
being guilty, and had the prosecution
taken the advise of Major Richards, the
Chief Of Police, and put "Peg-.eg'' Brown
on the witness stand, lie would have con-
victcd Ottman and llallcCk.

a man above. His name is Frederick
Ross, and he was born in Dantzic, Prus-
sa. Since the day Fred was born he has
never spoken word nor can he under
stand anything that is said to him. He can
hear however, where an ordinary person
cannot, and has often signillcd to US that
Il person was approaching whose foot
steps we could not hear for some minutes
altcrward.' Fred is repulsive looking
being, with large, bony and horribly
manned hands, while his feet are exceed
ingy small and well shaped. His mother,
who accompanied her two sons here, is a
healthy, wcll-formed woman, and seems
to admire her unfortunate son. In Prus-
sa, Fred attained fame for his graceful
dancing, and the ladies frequently over
looked his horrible deformity in order to
dance with him. The party are bound
for Detroit, where the father resides in
good circumstances.

A PROTEST
From Ohio Soldiers Asniuat Placing
Graut on the Retired List.


From Ohio SOldiers Asniust Placing
Graut ON the Retired List.
From Our Speeia! Corrssponden,. @
WASHINGTON, D. G., June "A petition
has been received here from Grand Army
Post in Ohio, protesting against the passage
OF the bill placing General Grant on the
retired list. It urges that he has been
twice elected to the Presidency and paid
for this service salary amounting to $780,
900; tbs. wealthy citizens Of New York
and Philadelphia presented him with a
fund Of aquarser Of a million, the interest
on which alone is $4,000 per year, and
that he retired from; the; army. othis own
will when he might have retained the
position for life had he chosen to do 80,
They sayithst to place him upon the re-
tired lis. now would be an outrage upon
the gallant soldiers who fell in the war and
whose widows now draw miserable pen
sion of eight dollars per month, upon
many crippled soldiers whose pensions are
hardly sufficient to sustain life, upon others
whose health waa les. in the service and
who now. draw from two to si1-dol!ars per
month as pensions, sud upon others who,
thous b their health is now lost by reason
OF their srmy service, are too manly I'd ask
ior pensions. They protest in general
terms against the system Of retiring army
officers upon large pay, as being, in their
opinion, an entering wedge likely to per.
vert the general system Of our government
by creating military and titled ,clsss.,
