WASHINGTON, Feb. 27-A motion to re-
consider the vote passing (some days since)
the bill for the establishment Of national
prisons was made by Mr.. Hoar and en-
tered.
The vice-president laid before the senate
the following communication received by
him:
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-08-11
the association he knew of $4,000 having

the association he knew OF $sl, 900 having
been received.
Inspector Stuart said he was we'll salts
fed that both the president and vice-presl-
dent are not so innocent as they pretend.
Said he:
Both got badly bitten, but both were in tho
deal and knew ali about the swindling going on.
They dad not get much OF the money, Mortimer
getting nearly all OF it, ! haven't the least
doubt he got away with $4,000. If ever there
was slick man it was Mortimer. l have gone to
his Office time aud again disguised
as letter carrier, and have seen him sign for
hundreds of registered letters containing large
amounts OF money, and ne smiled sweetly every
time. He is clever talker and smooth man
generally, and would convince almost anybody
who talked with him FIVE minutes that he was
the squaresi business man on earth.
Downing and TolIman were held in
$4,000 bonds each by Commissioner
Hoyne. Both had lawyers on hand. and
Tollman was quickly bailed out. Down
ing was unable to secure bondsmen, and
spent the night in the custody of a deputy
marshal. One of the attorneys for the
men said there is no doubt that the con-
Germ was rotten TO the core, but that he be-
lieved Downing and Tollman were simply
victims of Mortimer's guile.
One of the peculiar features of the case
is the fact that the association was in
dorsed by two prominent commercial
agencies. The concerns affairs were ex-
amined closely, but the evidences of
prosperity were so great that the agents
made favorable reports. For some reason
the association did not operate very extern
sively in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Ohio. Pennsylvania and New York. The
Southern states were worked to a certain
extent, but majority of the victims live
in the states west of the Mississippi.
