not man Of good standing nor Of pGliil,
cal influence, nor JUDGED, iH u certain
what his political affiliations were, and
there WIS no reason Tor his appointment
except one which seems a. founded upon
q crime, llo did, about that time, forge
the name Of myHolt aud other men Of
much greater prominence IA hC political

one Of M, Including tho memory Of tho
late y, S, Cox, who was dead az the
time the forgery was pcrpOtrnlod, aud
among the names are two Ot my late Re-
publican colleagues from Ohio, Said
forged document, 80 far Ha ! have been
able tu learn, was never seen cKCCpt hy
the governor, Mayor MOHby, Mr., llHlalcnd
and the gOvcrnOr'H brother, Which Of
them received Il from Mr., Wood whoth'

not have not yet been able 20 learn, |
only know that the paper iH Ia the custody
Of Mr., llulHtond and that hC has uCyOr Ht.
tempted 10 point out the public the cham
mol through which II came "a him, Unless
the four gentlemen | have named can
show that they did not auh0rn this furg-
cry to be- porpCtratcd nor receive the
forged document directly from the tOrgOr,
the public viii Justly hold them 10 be- nH
guilty 40 thC forgCr
This matter needs investigation, have
tried every mCnnn In my power "a llnd the
fOrgCr, who loft the state or country I'M.
mcdlutCly after the discovery Of hla crime,
lie was recently Hn poverty stricken that
he was unable to buy medicine when sick
and food Whom In health, yet ho obtained
the means from some source tO 20 40 Tar
away that ne h completely concealed from
the persons who have tried a. find him
aud h enabled 70 live through the bounty
Of those whom he has tried 10 serve, lie
could have no motive In pCrpotrnting this
crime except to mako one of the four pur-
ties above named governor and another
one United States senator, He must
therefore have had some consideration for
pCrpCtWting this forgery IN their interests,
for no man walks M 10 the door Of the
pcnilcntlnry simply from love aud alice
ilon FOR IT,
have nscCrtnnCd that this man Wood
caused letters tO bC mailed on the 18th ~
October NJ Washington, ID, G., and also ~
Saginaw, Mich, and lansing, Mich, This
would Indicate that he ~ not only trying
10 mislcnd persons who mny pursue him,
but that he Intends 10 remain concealed
until the pending election or perhaps lon-
ger, | therefore respectfully suggest that
your honorable body " Il have jurisdc-
ton over Mayor Mosby's connection with
this man Wood, call persons aud papers
before you and ascertain whether there
was consideration that passed between
the mayor and Mr., Wood and whether
that consideration bC the forged paper 20
which have rcicrrcd, aud disclose from
whom he received II and thua trace the
channel OF communication back 70 the
forgcr In order that the public may know
who first received the paper and nj whose
instigntlon, ns well ns Tor whose benefit,
the crime was porpctrutCd. Az you rc-
fuse 10 give my telegram 20 the public
press and may also refuse 20 make public
this communication shall take the lib
crty OF causing 10 DO sent u copy Of Il 10
one or more newspapers Of general circu-
l0tion, Worry respectfully,
