Joe Morris Talks.

k,dOne nothing criminal and am ready
s 10 stand upon my actions. !, with the
g. other selecrmen, bought the furniture
- and paid the price asked for it be
lieving it worth the money. We re-
ceived no pecuniary inducement or any
other kind. If the evidence is given
straight. there is no dread in the pro-
ceedings for me. The business was
not transacted in dark lantern session
at all The records are there to show
what we did. There is only one fear
in my mind. and that is that the mind
of tie public may be influenced by
hired evidence l am aware that this
does not go in court; that it cannot
stand, but the first impression made is
of a bad nature, and it is for this alone
ii at I fear. You can say for me that

peaceful breast"
Marshal brigham Talks.
Asked why he restrained Hayken
from seeing his attorney, the United
States marshal replied that he had
acted under the advice Of the assist

was all he had to say in relation to
the case. 81 ia as he advised, and
that was all l could do
Those Photographs.
This paper is handicapped in its
search for information by reason of
the prejudice of those connected with
the prosecution. All the leading spirits
in Ibis matter are working in the in
Serest Of the paper which has upheld
the county selectmen and the attorney
in all their irregular work.
But there are some matters which
cannot be withheld The photographs
of the alleged letters written by Hay
ken TO the house were obtained &C.
cording to the statement of those con-
mected with the prosecution, by a spy
in the employ of the firm, He took
them a few at a time, day by day, and
had them photographed. They were
-Ehen boxed up and sent to this city
From what can be learned of the mat
ter, the letters which Hayken had in
his pocket at the time of his arrest
yesterday were also taken out and
photographed, together with the cash
in his pocket and his purse What the
object Of all this was remains to be
seen.
Weary and Davis.
Weary is here again and will testify
in the case without a doubt. Weary
- as rot selling furniture now, he is in
" terested in selling something to reduce
Tuptures But all things do not seem
10 run smoothly with Weary as thew
did when he and Swiney were here
and carried off a cool thousand of the
coUnty's good hard cash. A telegram
from the Windy City, Of yesterdays
date, saws:
Last July Weary's partner in their
patent rupture cure business apDlied
for receiver, charging him with mis-
approprIatlng funds. Judge Windes
granted application
One Davis seems to have been in
the employ of the county for some
time. He has visited cities in the cas-
an connection with this matter and ia
evidently one Of the beneficiaries of

HayI<en's Defense
The line of defense made by Hayken
Will not be disclosed until the hearing
on the matter of contempt. This will
come up IN the morning before Judge
Merritt. 1t is understood that the
court does not feel very joyful over the
manner in which his order was treated

court for the county attorney and the
marshal
The law is positive on the point that
a witness who comes from one state
TO another to give evidence shall be
privileged from arrest. Hayken came

If he has the evidence to convict why

ken?
An Odd Letter.
