he Has Made No Admissiona-A Theory OF
HIS Crime. - 81
ST. LOUIS, No., August 1G.-walter Il.
Lennox Maxwell, alias T. @. Danghier,
alias Hugh NJ. Brooks, the supposed muir
derer Of @. Arthur Preller, at the Southern
Hotel this city on the 9Th Of last April,
arrived here about 4 o'clock this morning
from San Francisco. Accountsby reporters
who rode in from Halstead, Kas., on the
train with Maxwell, and had free access to
him and to the officers in charge,of him,
are to the effect that he absolutely refused
to talk about his case, and positively as
serted that he has at no time or place
made any statement in regard TO itor in
any way acknowledged that he had any
thing to owith Preller's death, or knew
anything aboutit He says all stories to
the contrary are entirely untrue.
Detective Gray also says that Maxwell
has made no statement. Maxwell wrote
out while on the train for q reporter Of the
Rcpubl blicna an account OF his trip from st.
Louis to Auckland, his arrest there and
the return trip, but it is commonplace
story OF minor events and contains no in
formation Of interest.
Detective Gray thinks further develop
ments will show Maxwell TO be weak
mentally, and he has one idea wedged
in his MINI, that his. safety
depends upon his silence, and that he will
stattle nobody with q surprising or
romantic defense. Tracy thinks he killed
Preller for money; that the very few I'D.
missions he has made point In this di-
rection; that his voyage from st. Louis to
Auckland was money spending debauch,
and not well planned etcape from JUS
lice, aud that Ii was the luck that takes
care OF drunkards and fools that stood
him in stead and not any good manage:
ment OF his own.

LoSd BRAScH, August 1e.-W While the
emblems Of mourning for the death Of
General Grant still hang heavy upon tie
fronts Of the hotels and cottages Ills per-
sonal friends, Of whom there are many
here, are maniiesting great uneaatness asY
to the disposition that las been made oi
his will. Il has been stated ii some.
quarters that the General died intestate.
That Is an error; His moat intimate
friends know that he made q will abouta
year ago, at Long Branch, dispcsipg OF all
his properly. The subscribing witnessts
to it were his near friend, George w.
Childs, and the Rev. Dt. Morton, rector of
st. James Protestant Ep;scopal Church, Of
Philadelphia, who at the time was Air.
Childs guest.
Alrs. Grant, the Generals widow, has
decided to remain guest OF Mr.. Joseph
w. Drexel, at Mount Aac6 6regor, until
October i. What she shall do after that
has not been determined upon further
than that she will rent or dispose Of tie
house in Sixty-sixth street, New York,
and take o smaller dwelling. The houee
is in her name and is worth, as estimated,
about $50 900 above the mortgage uponiit.
The Grant cottage at Long Branch Belongs
to her entirely, and she also owns o house
In Washington.
Mr.. Childs thinks tho amount ot pfos.
pectiye profits from the Generals book
will not be so large as commonly sisted,
but will probably reach 500 600. The.
General, Mr. Childs says,g presented tfle
manuscript to Mrs Grant eforA his death,
so that Il Is hers to do as she pleases with
without regard TO the will. Mr.. GhiidsS
understands that the exsentoEs OF the
Morgan estate have decided q. pay }overtos
General Grants estate the principal Of the
trust fund raised for the General. The
Morgan estate guaranteed the interest of
the Wabash bonds, in which the fnndWas
invested, for fiSe years. There was q
question as to whetheri il did not gnatan.
tee the principal also. The execntofs,it
Is said, have resolved the doubt in faver
OF the General's widow. and children.
3 Itwas thought that Mrs. Grant and Mrs.
Sartoris would be guests Of Mrs. Childs
here. Mrs. Grant was desirous of coming
for 0 change of scene and. the sea air, but
concluded, finally, that the privacy oi. tho
Mount Mace Gregor cottage would lie better
than the unayoidabl de nnb blfsity OF the
