MAxwELLs LINE OF DEFENSE.
..wbat will be Maxwell's line of de-
fense2"
well. of course he will put US of
with writs of habeds corpus, and his law
yer NAV refuse to believe the evidence
that we have in our position. There IS
not the slightest shadow OF DOUBT IN
NV mind that Maxwell is the murderer
of Preller. We have all the evidence
upon the case"
How will you proceed in the al
fair9"
suppose we shall at once proceed TO our
Consul and with his aid we shall place
our papers before the court. We sail
from this city on Saturday, and expect
to he in New Zealard on the 9th inst.
If there is no fight, and Maxwell is i'm
mediatelv given into our possession, we
will return by the next steamer. Our
conduct to him on board will certainly
be gagged BY his conduct. 1t is pretty |
certain that he will have to be ironed on |
the way home, so as to insure against |
any possible attempt at suicide. Yes, |
WOW will have a chance to see him when |
we bring him back, as it is our intention |
to stay at least couple of days before |
we start back east"
How is it that Mr.. O'Reil, the news
paper man, does not go with your"
Il will easily explain that. F. R. |
)'Neil was appointed, as has been Mr.. |
Badger, by the board of police commits |
siOners. At the time of his appoint
ment he was q reporter on the Post Dis |
patch but Sinceithen has been made man. |
aging editor of the Missouri Republican. |
and he did not think he would be justi- |
fed in giving up so good billet for the |
voyage tAat we are now undertaking.
Mr.. 0'Neil was chosen on account
OF his knowledge of international law"
UHFOUNDED REPORTS.
There is no truth, then, in the report |
that his not going was a matter of dis
None whatsoever. He himself re-
used the appointment, and 1 am sure |
our appointments were received with |
satisfaction.
Is there still considerable interest |
YInced In the case in st. Louis?"
Yes, there is. The men had attracted |
Il great deal of attention. The case was |
SO brutal, and the papers worked up the
excitement well, so that there can Be no |
surprise that interest is still alive. In |
my opinion the murder was committed |
purely Tor money. There can be no
plausible reason. By the way, it is a
strange coincidence. is it not, that we
occupied the same Sleeping-car coming
rom the east as did Maxwell? And
wat IS more singular still Mr.. Badger
sept IN the same berth. The conductor
! y ohn stanton, and the porter, Solomon
in4oyston, were also with the same car
newton. Yes, of course, it was pureIv
accidental that We should have tbs
same sieeplng-cars, Newton and MO-
aeS!1, running on our trip, and more
'Ioa' sun that Badger should
,leep IN the berth once occupied by the
