 rest Created.
 DENVER, Aug. 30.-Govornor Waite ap- pcarcd to be enjoying the excitement which his adventure had caused among his sympathizcrs. He admits having seen the letter from Jesse Parr of Pueblo to the police matron asking her to secure n housckcepcr for him, which ho was ac- cuscd of having unlawfully detained, but that was all hC knew about the matter. Judge Sales, who will defend the gov crnor and his alleged fellow conspirators before United states Commissioner Wins dale, said he would have no difficulty in securing the acquittal of his clients.
 Why. the letter was addressed to the police matron," said he, and it could be opened by Miss Dwycr as well as Mrs. Likcns. Miss DwyCr was also matron and possessed equal rights. For that matter the letter was the common property of the office, and either President Mullins or Chief Armstrong could have opened 1t. The arrest was very injudicious, and the government has no case. l have not seen the letter yet, but will demand that l sec 1t before tho trial
 Postoffico Inspector Mcchin indignant ly denies the statement that tho arrest was made for political purposes and says he will bo able to make out a good case against the accused.
