mARSHALS AT THE POLLS.

An Interesting Session With Marshal
 Wright.
 CINCINNATI, Jan. 6.-The Springer investi- gating committee met at 1O:30 and the ex- animation of Lot Wright was resumed. MT. Follett conducted the examination and Judge Foraker appeared for the witness. The wit ness said: ''I met Kearns about the time of the October election. I do not know his first name or that he was one of those indicted for the Star route frauds. I believe he was one of the Republican campaign committee. He was introduced to me by respectable men. I don't know who but they were most re- spectacle men who recommended them to me; did not recommend as a Republican"
 "You know, ''he was asked, las little about the men you appointed possible for man to know, don't you?' q don't remember about all the men appointed" said Wright, ''but I know something about the Nuttle gang. don't know how many of them were appointed. but think one was. They were appointed as the best men for their locality, as men who had nerve to meet just such ele- ments as they would have to deal with.
 'And yet all you appointed were Republi- cans, were they not9" ''No, sir, believe appointed knowingly some Democrats"
 MT. Follett resumed at o'clock, calling the names of the deputies from 9 distance and asking who each was and from where. Save occasionally Marshal Wight could not remember them. They were, he said, ap- pointed hurriedly to meet an exigeney. MT. Follett took up the list, selecting therefrom notorious characters who acted as marshals and inquired if the marshal knew them. q do not know" said Wright, that the man named Hurdle was repeater from Washington who was all day leading about a crowd of ne groes. I do not know that w. J. Farrell was a fugitive from justice nor that Peter Dolan when appointed was a workhouse rat out the day before I appointed him. nor that John Gleason killed man on election day. But I do know that he was an old policeman who killed a 1uan in self-defense. do not believe them the best men to deal with the men they expected to encounter. ''
 ''Do you know that John J. Kelley was indicted for shooting a man?' What! the Democratic alderman"
 ''I believe he turned over to the Republi- cans.'
 "Did he become ashamed of his party? l don't know Kelley and don't find him on the list. I have been credited by papers with appointing great many did not appoint. I appointed Willis Jones. I don't know that he keeps crop house. I don't know what a crop house is. don't find Nuttle on my list"
 the Nuttles?" 1T said I might have done so, but I did not know. I remember Sid Thomas I don't suppose he will be a sue cess as Sunday school teacher"
 tsDid you know George Swain has killed three men and been in great number of shooting scrapess" "What! and still run ming at large! I wonder he has not been hanged or in prison I did not know he was the keeper of a low dive. I don't know what you mean by a dive or crop"
