MEYERS SAYS THE LETTER IS FORGERY.
A search was made in Homestead for John
Myers. the writer of the letter connecting
Fitzsisnmons with the Umberger crime
in Somerset county. The only John
Myers to be found in Homestead is
a msn who has lived there for six
wears. He came there from Latrobe.
He was formerly a stonemason, but he is
now the owner Of high hat, clever tongue
and a suit of black broadcloth. At present
be is earning living and making house
wives happy by peddling clothes-wringers
and washing machines. About murders he
saws he knows but little, and in an interview
last night said
Il did not write the letter. do not even
know who could have written the letter
All ! know is that have seen Fitzsimmons
peddling silk umbrellas in and about Home

no; see Fitzsimmons taken from the lookup
10 the station, but was on Seventh avenue
at the time. | remember of talking in a
crowd about seeing Fitzsimmons peddling
umbrellas and someone may have overheard
me and then built up the rest of the story.

cation of Fred Fitzsimmons as Jack the
Ripper know just as much about his
nection with that crime as | do about the
perpetration of the Umberger murder
HAS NO DOUBTS OF THEIR GULF
Charles McPhail, of the Gilkinson agency,
was talked to on the matter Saturday he
says .'There is no doubt about the guilt of
the Nicely boys. Fitzsimmon never COM
mitted that crime, and even though Fitz-
simmons is bad man, it is not fair to accuse
him of murders that he did not commit. L
believe the letter was only clever scheme
gotten up by friends for the Nicelys TO secure
a reprieve. The rifles in each pistol may
differ slightly, but then it would beimpossi-
bic to tell whether the groves marked by
them in the bullets would be the same. The
bullets are SO fiattened that it would be i'm
possible to tell what the marks were. of
course all the 3s -caliber bullets of the same
make will have exactly the same weight
even if they were fired from thousands
different pistols.

SUICIDE IN BATTLE.
The Peculiar Story Told By a veteran
or Gettysburg.

A group OF old soldiers gathered
in the rotunda of the Kimball
House yesterday were telling stories
of field and camp during the war.
when one of the number gave the
following graphic account OF the
suicide Of a Federal Officer on the
field at Gettysburg.
1t was there" said he, al saw a
Federal aflicer. chagrined because
nothing would stay the retreat Of
his men, raise his pistol to his head
and blow out his brains. 1t hap
pened ON the second days fight.
Gen. Longstrcet had just come up
with part of his corps from Cham
bersburg, Pa, AID vigorously
assailed Sickle's corps, which he
was driving back in great disorder.
Sickles halted aud formed his men
in line to receive Longstreet's
onslaught.
ut was one of the few times i
ever saw corps commanders at the
front line. Sickles, with his staff,
was riding among his men, encour-
aging them to withstand the Con-
federate assault, while Longstreet
with his staff, and Col. Freemantle,
an English officer and corrcspon-
dent Of the London Times, was
cheering our boys to the charge.
We advanced and gave the
Federals a terrific volley ut close
range. They staggcr' d under the
Calling fire, when Longstreet order
ed us to give them the bayonets.
AS the men wavered and broke to
run, and officer stepped to the
front, and, with his sword, signal
ed them to come back. Again and
again he wavered to his men, but
by this time they were in full run,
and the officer, IN his angry morti-
fication, raised a pistol to his head
and fired. When Gen. Longstreet
and Col. Frecmantlc rode up, they
looked down at the brave Union
officer, but the tide of battle swept
us on. "-AtIdNta Constellation.
