THE SILVER INQUIRY.

Representative Taylor Insists That His
SpeculatiOns in the Metal Were Perfect
Iy Legitimate-Owenby on the stand.
WASHINGTON, Feb. SIN the silver
pool investigation Monday Representa-
tive Abner Taylor Qll) testified that he
had bought on margin, on July II,
1890, $1,000 ounces of silver at 1O99i
and on the 18th of August. 1890 had
sold at 112l5. He wished to be put on
record that the purchase was made
three days after the silver bin became a
law. Had not bought any silver since.
Witness did not buy any silver before
the law went into effect nor did he
purchase any while the legislation was
pending. He had dealt some in wheat
since he had been in Congress. He did
not know of any Senator or other
Representative having bought silver
and knew nothing of silver pool of
Senators and Representatives
James A. Owenby was then sworn.
He resided, he said, in New York City,
but spent most of his time in Washing
ton. His business last year was that of
a broker. He handled all sorts of Sc
curities and when he had an oppor-
tunity he dealt in silver. Witness said
he had some knowledge of different
parties who were engaged in silver
trading, but had none of an organized
pool. He had seen accounts made
upon the books of Wells, Fargo & Co.
The witness was asked a number of
questions to discover if any of the
names on these books were those
of Senators or Representatives He
evaded these questions, asked the
definition of "purported," and finally
did not know whether he had seen the
names of any representatives. in con-
nection with silver transactions. Be
fore answering similar questions as to
Senators he consulted his lawyer, Judge
johnson, of this city, and then said that
he had not, and volunteered the sug-
gestion that the committee should have
experts examine the books of Wells,
Fargo & Co.
Owenby referred to the books of j.
NJ. Donald, cashier of the Hanover Ma
tional Bank, and in conversation with
Donald the latter showed him letter
which he said came from Senator who
was in the pool In reply to direct
question Owenby said that the name
mentioned by Donald was that of a Sen
ator of the United States. As an ex-
cuse for not being able to give Informal
ton with regard to other questions
asked Owenby said that the informa-
ton was in his books. Some of the
books were in Chicago and others were
burned up. Other questions brought
ont the fact that outside these books the
witness had in trunk and other recep-
tacles memoranda relating to silver
speculations. He declared several times
that he intended TO bring his trunk and
papers here, and ended by offering to
telegraph for them. At this point the
examination was suspended

LOST HIS HEAD.
Eyraud, The French Murderer,
Dies by the Guillotine,
He Refuses Religious Consolation and
Goes to His Death Without
a Tremor.
rAID THE PENALTY.

PARIS. Feb. 3.-Michael Eyraud the
murderer of Gouffe, was executed at
1880 o'clock a. m, on the Place de la
Rouquette. Eyraud met his fate with
fortitude and resignation. There were
but few witnesses at the execution.
When the Governor of the prison, NJ.
La Roquett, and the prison chaplain,
Liable Faure, were ushered into
Eyraud's cell, short time previous to
the hour fixed for the condemned man 5
execution, they found that he was al
ready up and dressed, evidently fore
warned contrary to the rules, by some
kind-hearted official Eyraud declined
a glass of cognac which was rendered
him by one of tbs wardens, and in
spite of the earnest solicitation of
Liable Faure, the murderer pos
itively, even angrily refused to
listen to the good priests prayers, to
pray himself, or to have any religious
rites performed in his behalf The
abbe's pleading with the criminal in
that dark cell, while within and with
out the prison all preparations
were made to usher the sullen
prisoner into another world, was
probably the most solemn and
dramatic incident of the execu-
ton. But EyrauG's iron will was not
to be shaken even in the presence of
death, and he continued impatiently
to refuse religious consolation while
on the death march to the guillotine,
which had been erected during
4J,a ,,i,rbt o,, +bo DIoaa do Ia p o,,c,,a4%a
by NJ. De Paris and his grim
assistants. When pinioned and upon
the point of being overturned upon the
boscull of the guillotine = upon the
plank which was to glide with
him beneath the fatal suspended
knife-Eyraud, with a movement
as if of angry cont empt or sullen
resentment, refused to return the last
kiss bestowed upon him by Liable
criminals upon the point of being
executed. The action of the
guiliotine, once pyramids neck
was well beneath the uprights,
was instantaneous. There was a
flash and all was over. Eyrauds head
had fallen into the sawdust-filled re-
ceptacle which awaited it. Then fol-
lowed the usual funeral, and the body
of Gouffe's murderer was handed over
to his (Eyraud's relatives and acquaint-
ances.
lEyraud and Gabrielle Bompard murdered
Goufe in the room Of the woman at No. 3 Rue
Thomson Ducoudray They put the body OF
their victim in a trunk and set on for Lyons,
where it was subsequently found in ditch.
Eyraud and Gabrielle wandered about together
for time, then Eyraud came to America. Ca
brielle confessed and was imprisoned. For a long
time Eyraud eluded justice, until he was run to
earth at Havana, whence he was taken to
Paris. Eyraud previous to the trial con-
fessed that he was the murderer OF NJ.
Goufe and that all Gabrielle said was
true. After a sensational trial Eyraud
was sentenced to die by the guilotine
and Gabrielle was given a life sentence The
defense set up by the woman was that Eyraud
had hypnotized her and thus compelled her to
assist in the murder.l
