TUMBLE OF THE TIMES.
The Props All Knocked from
Under the Great London
Newspaper.
Pigott Confesses That the Letters
Were Forgeries and That He
Was the Forger.
Having Said This He Suddenly Turns Up
Missing-Great Excitement in Eng
land Over the Affair.

~ LONDON, Feb. 27.-Pigott has confessed
that the alleged Parnell letters upon
which the hopes of The Times were
based, are forgeries.
When the Parnell commission reas-
sembled, Sir Charles Russell said that he
had statement to make. He then
CAUSED A SENSATION
by saying that on Saturday Pigott went
to Mr.. Labouchere's office, and in the
presence of Mr.. George Augustus Sala,
signed confession that the
"PARNELL LETTERS" WERE FORGERIEs.
Sir Charles Russell, after making this
statement, applied to Presiding Justice
Hammer for a
WARRANT FOR flGOTT's ARREST.
Sir James Hammer said that the warrant
would be ready in an hour. The Times
counsel were then asked if they would
proceed with their case. Attorney
General Webster replied that they had
no other witness ready, and that it
would be necessary for them to consider
what course they would take, and also
whether they would resume any part of
the case.
PIGOTT WAS CALLED
to the stand and the court waited for
him to take his place. The witness,
however, did not appear, and his counsel
was asked where he was. The latter re-
piled that Pigott had left his hotel at II
p. m. and that he COUNSEL was ignorant
of his present whereabouts. This state
ment caused a great sensation and the
prevailing opinion was that
PIGOTT HAD MADE HIS ESCAPE.
Sir James Hammer then said that the
court would adjourned for half hour
to allow the witness to appear. If Pigott
does not come at the expiration of that
time, his papers at the hotel will proba-
bly, be seized.
Believe The Times Aided Pigott.
CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The following
cablegram was received in this city by
Alexander Sullivan:
London, Feb. 27.-Alexander Sullivan,

general belief here that The Times and
the government have paid him to clear

Hal REID Is FREE.
The Alleged Ravisher of Maud Compton

The Alleged Ravisher of Maud Compton
Pardoped by Governor Merriam.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 26.-Hal Ried, the al
legged ravisher of Maud Compton, has
been granted free pardon by Governor
Merriam. The papers in the case were
originally filed with Governor McGill,
who left them as legacy for his sue
cessor. Governor Merriam has given
considerable thought to the case, and in
the legal points has had the matured
opinion of Attorney General Clapp. Two
eminently reputable citizens of the state
made affidavits placing an entirely new
feature in this notorious case, and adj
duced evidence which did not come out
at the trial, which greatly favored the
position taken by Reid in this matter.
These affidavits were amply substanti-
ated by others, and in the interests of
Justice, Governor Merriam says he could
see no other way than grant the accused
an unconditional pardon.

Harris elopement. Immediately after
the marriage of her sister to Mr.. Stevens,
Hiss Kitty Brady went up to her mother
and said: Now, mother, am going to
be married" Mrs. Brady, after slowly
recovering from the effects of this un-
expected announcement, replied that
such a thing would be out Of the
question for at least two years; but
Miss Kitty replied that it would
not be out of the question in two
hours. At this stage Of proceeding the
learned Judge appeared upon the scene
and Miss Kitty continues: Il have taken
all the preliminary steps and everything
Is arranged, but have only So and Sid
ney hasn't cent, so just lend me S25 to
go on the honeymoon with" The learned
judge, however, as might be expected,
refused point blank to advance his
daughter cent, but Miss Kitty man
aged somehow to raise the necessary $50,
upon which "the happy pair"-to use a
time honored and time worn phrase
spent two days in Philadelphia.-The
