STILL ANOTHER INvEsT1G ALTON
MIR. Enis, OF Louisiana, Placed TEN
derby Oh the Rack.

Representative Ellis, of Louisiana, and In :
spector Woodward, of the postotfce depart
ment, were examined by the house commit
tee on postofiices and postroads yesterday in
regard to the alleged connection of Mr.. Ellis
in the star route contracts. Mr.. Ellis testi-
fed that he had secured the attendance of all
persons connected with the transaction, but
DIR. Peterson and the latter could not be
found. Mr.. Ellis asked that tho statements
he had made before the house be admitted as
evidence. When he was sworn Mr.. Ellis de-
MED that he had ever received money from
Mr.. Brott. He stated that he had assisted
Mr.. Brott, but it was for the benefit Of the
people of his state and not any individual
person.
Mr.. Woodward, when sworn, stated that
there was no report on the files of the post
Office on this subject He said he had held a
conversation with Mr.. Brott in 1882, and a
copy of his memorandum book, in which the
conversation was detailed, was secured by
Mr.. w. A. Cook, through whom it was made
public. He thought that Mr.. Ellis had been
named in the gossip about the star route
cases, but did not think that there was
enough in the talk for investigation.
After the examination of Mr.. Woodward,
Mr.. Peelle moved that the investigation be
closed, but as other gentlemen had been SUBJ
p9naed, it was decided to hear their state
ments. The committee adjourned until this
morning at IL o'clock.

BAILEY ON COOK.

Col. CorIshilI's Assistant Has His Say
About tho Absurdity OF Some OF MIR.
Cooks Statement
Lorenzo A. Bailey, who was Col. Corkhill's
assistant during the Guiteau trial, is moved
to make the following statement in reply to
the statements of Messrs. MaoVeagh and
Cook:
Col. Corkhill went to Cape May, and in his
absence Guiteau was constantly sending word
throug Gen. Crocker that he wished TO see
me. As nearly all the rumors afoat had been
exploded, at least in the opinion Of Col.
Corkhill, and as Guitean really had nothing
of interest to communicate after the first two
weeks or so, ] called on the attorney general
and asked whether l should continue what |
regarded as useless interviewing with the
prisoner. Mr.. Macy eagh said il would do no
harm, and that | had better go on. In tho
course of the conversation | expressed my
notion that the prisoner was a fanatic, aud
that the conjecture as TO accomplices
was groundless. Mr.. MacYcagh said that
perhaps 1t was no, but that no still
was not satisfied that there was no con-
spracy. He then explained his reason for
entertaining his views on that subject-that
for some time before the assassination he had
received certain anonymous communications,
warning him to desist in his star route inves-
LEGATIONS, and that If he did not voluntarily
desist he would have to desist involuntarily,
adding, by way of explanation, that he would
not be kicked out of the cabinet. and that no
personal violence against himself was in
tended, or words to that effect, but that still
he would be rendered powerless to continue
the prosecution. Mr.. Macy. said these COM
municatons were enigmatcal and incompre-
hensible to him; he could not divine their
meaning, but that when the president was
shot his mind reverted to these warnings,
and he naturally regarded that act as q solu
ton of the mystery, &c.
Interviews with Guiteau were had by de-
tectves sent by Mr.. New, and following up
his special line Of investigation in regard to
the crime.
Colonel Corkhill's investigation was very
thorough. Every rumOr involving star
reuters, stalwarts, and others were carefully
inquired into.
Guiteau's remarks and manner on the sub
iect of the star route frauds plainly showed
the absurdty of tho suspicious of Cook, Nc
Neagh ct al, and the following, taken from
his conversations with me, may be cited as an
illustration of this
