usual course. Officer, lock the prisoner
up. aud YOU went behind the bars.
"In the morning, when YOU had sobcred
down and camc TO Hull realization of
your situation, you no longer screamed
II am James Gordon Bennett, the pro-
prietor OF the New York Herald, but YOU
spent the whole day in trying 10 get the
newspapers TO suppress the sickening
story, and with very good success.
AT dinner party given by you ut
your residence, after your guests were
about through, you took u revolver and
began firing at the globes OF the large
chandelier over the center of the dinner
table, sending the thousand pieces Of
broken glass in the eyes and faces of your
guests, who piled pell-mell under the
table. No scream was made over this
insult 10 your guests BY James Gordon
Bennett OF the New York Herald.
Another incident Of this shameful ca
rcer will be enough TO Illustrate my pres
ent purpose.
"Some years ago, | am told, YOU invited
some gentlemen to dine with YOU ON your
yacht, among them noble lord. II soon
became apparent to the gentlemen that
YOU were on one OF your Wild orgies, and
lutN WtTt ulNlOub W tti bNtl'iNs
"You started 10 land them, and after
rowing around In circle for while You
finally brought up TO q landing without
knowing whether II was New York, Brook
Ign or Williamsburg You landed your
guests at the Morgue, and a. YOU were pro-
ceeding stumbled and fell into what after
ward turned out TO be the box for the
burial Of the days victims.
"What scene il would have made II,
while you had been lying in that box, the
dead victims had been placed in and the
box closed up and taken away for burial.
As your senses gradually returned me-
thinks | hear the same scream: Il am
James Gordon Bennett, proprietor Of the
New York Herald Let me QUIT
"Now, one word more, aud have done
with you. Are you quite satisfied with
your recent partners, Messrs Andrews
and Crouch, in the attack ON Gould and
Sage2 You supposed that with Andrews
TO do the sharp law work and the Herald
TO do the screaming the combination
would be formidable.
Don't you know you wish you had
made some few inquiries az 10 Andrews
reputation and character before you went
into the association And don't you
think that before you began your attacks
IL would have been more just II you had
made inquiries AZ 10 whether you had any
foundation for your daily ,iradcsP
"A slight inquiry would have shown
you that Messrs. Sage and Gould simply
did their duties ~ trustees that neither Of
them received u penny's profit from the
transaction, while the bondholden were
benefited TO the extent OF millions, as the
bonds were put by II from 20 10 above par,
where they now remain.
''Since exposed the fact that no bond
holders ever complained; that Andrews
and Crouch had no clients; that they
went 10 Europe 10 find clients; that An
drews and Crouch were all there was Ia
this persecution and their motive was re.
yenge and gain; that Andrews, practic.
ing attorney, 10y guaranteeing his dupcs,
Stoop x Rens, against cost and expenses
M shown by the letter oi Messrs. Pick 4
Co., which ! Published, himself commit
ted a criminal ofene. Andrews an,
Crouch have taken tothcir holes and hav,
not since been seen--a and .nly icebly hear

scream. Jaw GOULD"
