DEPUTY MARSHALS IN OHIOo Interesting Facts Concerning Their Appointment Brought Out Be- fore The Springer Investigating Committee.
 CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 7.-The Springer in vestigating committee met at 1030 this
 morning. Lot Wrights testimony was con tinued. MT. Wright produced the Bell-In-
 gals document with certain books of entries,
 and letter written by the chairman of the Democratic committee to Wright as a formal demand that he should appoint Democrats as marshals as we'll as Republicans was read and introduced as evidence. Upon it was written in pencil: q should say no, Jacob D Wright supposed it to have been written bv cx-Mayor Jacob. The book containing the record of names to whom pistols were given for distribution in the various wards was produced. The names were called by Wright. Occasionally Mr. Fol lett inquired concerning these individuals. "Who is Joe Inglesason?" ''He is the man you say has committed three murders, but has been convicted of none. I know him as an old policeman. He received six pistols. MT. Mullen got thirty pistols for the Lincoln club, a Republican organization. There were a number of deputies quartered tbere This extended inquiry served to show that large number of pistols given out had not yet been returned. record of them had been i'm perfectly kept Wright was unable to say in most cases h W many had been returned Regarding these men he said: ''E. Potter Dustin IS an attorney. l don't know whether he is active Repub- lican politician and ward worker" This tedious process, however, inter rupted by Mr. Stewart the inquiry being laid over. It may be confined in the future to special cases. Judge Foraker asked if un- der the ruling of the court he might give in evidence the comparative of total votes in the October and November elections as well as the party votes. This was agreed to and Wright said: "The congressional vote in Oc- tober was T ,4S0, in November Fl ,692 This did not include the Butler or St. John vote" The matter was laid over for the full figures by Foraker.
 "Why did you appoint deputy marshals?'' ''I received legal request and felt the bur den of responsibility, besides I would be held accountable for the results"
 ''After you had appointed six hundred why did you swell it to 1902" Because all the circumstances developed I thought the occasion called for them"
 M. E. Ingalls, was next called and said: ''There was more excitement and less money than aS any election I ever saw. The town seemed to be full of strange negroes and it was common ly believed that they were here to perpetrate frauds upon the Democrats I think it was the most disgraceful election day ever heard of in this city. I told Mar shal Wright that I would not do the dirty work he was doing and be responsible for the bloodshed which I expected would follow for all the money in Cincinnati. He said was insulting and told him I supposed l was, but it was the way I felt about it''
 ''Then you separated in anger.'' inquired Judge Foraker. "Yes, may say in anger and sorrow, General"
 ''Not General, if you please" Beg par don, meant Judge"
 MT. Lot Wright was then recalled and af- ter short examination the committee ad- journed at 2:45 p. m.
