Certain Facts About Pigott.

LINCOLN, Neb., February 27.-Pat-
LEX Eagan said last evening that
P;gott's confession was not surprise
to HIM. For twenty years, added
Eagan, ~ have known this man to
be forger and a swindler, and for
s years 1 have known he was in the
service pay roll of Dublin castle, as
informer, and in March, 1881, he made
his infamous attempt to extract black
mail from me, and 1 exposed
him through the Dublin Freeman's
Journal. That exposure cut off much
of his power for mischief. Since then
he has been forced to work by
stealth" Eagan also said he believed
there is a deep conspiracy behind this
case, and that he would not be sur
prised to see certain men prominent
in the English government circles,
made yublie in connection with it.

Pigott Further Discloses.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-An immense
crowd was present in the court room
this morning, when the session of the
Parnell commission opened. Much eE-
element was manifested when Par
nell arrived in the court room at an
early hour. Attorney General Web
ster stated to the court that Mr.Shan-
non, the Times Dublin solicitor, had
received a letter today from PigOtt
who is now in Paris. The
letter was not in Pigott's writing;
Shannon had Immediately notified lie
Scotland yard authorities of the
receipt of the letter. IG was dated
Saturday, and contaioed the c. nfes-
sion Pigott made to LabOuchere on
that day, at the Iatter's residence.
Pigott added he desired to
fully disclose that he tahri-
Gated the alleged fac smile of the
Parnell letters published in the Times
and other letters he had furnished TO
that paper. He denied being in touch
with the American brotherhood al .er
he had sold his newspaper, The Irish
man. He admitted he wrote conve"-
satiOn with Eugene Davis, at LIus-
anne, from memory only. He told
Houston he found the letters in bag,
but he ia brcated them using the genu-
inc letters of Parnell and Eagan,
copying certain words showing the
general character of the writing aud
tracing them against the window
frame. He afterwards destroyed the
genuine letters. The second batch
Of lnf tn
were initiated from the ia rsimile
published in the Times. He did not
see Creslin in America. He admitted
Labouchere's account of the inter
view between them, was in the main
correct. The letter dated Saturday
was enclosed in another, bearing the
date of the Hotel Du Monde, 1 arts,
Tuesday, and saying, Before leaving,
the enclosed, (the confession) was
handed me, having been left while l
was out, 1 will write again soon.

Attorney General Webster sad
everybody would agree that nobody
could attach any weight to
Pigott's evidence, and it was
his duty to ask the court to W, tn
draw from considering the genuine
ness of the letter. The Times, he said,
desired to express regret for publish
ing the lett ers, .and the prophet US OF
that paper would them aeIves more
fully express their regret later. He
lepudiated the allegation made by Sir
Charles Russell, yesterday, that there
was a foul conspiracy, behind P.gou
and Houston. If such conspiracy ex-
listed, the Times had no share in it, if
the owner of the Times extended be-
yOnd that, the court should make the
fullest inquiry.
