Of the Greeley Arcfie Expedition, nov
here, we're shown this morning kilograms
from Washington, stating that tie army
officer who las seen the diaries Of the ex-
petition says the survivors,, when found,
wers in two parties. one headed by Brain
ard. and the othsr By Long. and living
separately, a. two tribes, and refusing 10
speak 70 each other; that Greeley was an
invalid for the last two months and that
the party headed BY BrAinard cared for
him like 8 child; hat stealing rstions was
scommon practice; that the hunters sent
out for birds concealed them for them
selves. Each Of these statements Brainard,
Long and Connolly deny enphaticsily.
They all insist that the party was not di-
yided, but while i've slept in 3 wall tent,
BrAinsrd and Long slept together under q
ay tent, because the interior was
not large enough for all. Sergeant
Brainsrd says that Lieutenant Gree
ley walked out every day and was
able and competent to command the party,
which he did throughout. They al agree
that nobody except Henry was shot. The
special report Of the same army officer
Gays BraInArd, when found, Was much
stronger than the rest and when he came
aboard the Bear, surprise Was expressed at
II, and when he was asked why that wss,
he said: ''0n, / could eat the stuff and
diiess it, but others could not" When
some one Of the reseuing party remarked
the absence Of DR.. PAWS body and ex-
pressed wonder as 10 what had become Of
1t, Brainard said: "He is all gone. fin
ished the last of him just before you ar
rived" This being shown Sergeant Brain
ard, he said; Il don't know who are my
accusers, but whoever they may be, they
are slanderers. / was not the strongest of
the party and, moreover, l was not on the
Bear, but came home on the Thetis. The
story is q lie out OF whole cloth" Ser
geant Long and Private Connolly corrob-
crates his denial.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. Subjective
Frank Moore of Evansville, Ind, passed
through this city to-day, on his return
uOHie AIom Acnis SOuuty' Ieuu.s Wnsre De
went to work up the case against the
citizens who killed the Mormon elders,
Barry and Gibbs. He said: 81 visited
Lewis county to obtain some clues which
would lead to the arrest Of the mob who
engaged in the murder. Meeting q citizen,
/ asked him il he knew any OF the parties
concerned in the killing, to which he re-
piled he knew all of them, and would
reveal their names if / would give him
$50. He made an appointment with me
to meet him in the woods, and said he
would have one of the guilty parties pres
ent. I kept the appointment, but had
hardly got under an old beech tree when
I was surrounded by 40 or so masked
men. They asked me why l came to
Lewis county. I told them l came to get
the names of the parties implicated in the
Mormon massacre. The Captain then or.
dered the men to hang me. They put a
rope around my neck. l begged for my
life, and they finally agreed to let me 60,
giving me one hour to leave Lewis county.
At this time they had the moose around
