NEVER DELIVERED.
What Ex-ConsuI Waller Would
Have Said to the Judges.
He Was Not Allowed to Speak--New
Light on the Case.
Letters to Wife Did Not Give Information Of
Violate Penal Code.

Washington, July .-Ex-Consul Wal
Ter has written letter to his stepson Paul
Bray, enclosing a copy of the remarks
which he had expected to make before the
French court martial by which he was
tried in Tamatavc, but which it appears
he did not have any opportunity to deliver.
Mr.. Walters letter is dated in prison at
Marscilles June Is, and was received here
n day or two since through the state de
partmcnt. The document is interesting
in that it reveals somewhat more of the
details of the offcnse with which Waller
was charged than have yet been made
public, and also because it contains Mr..
Walters version of the occurrence which
he has not heretofore had an opportunity
to give to the public. The document ad
dressed to the judges is as follows:
| do not know whether n word from the
accused will have very much weight with
you or not, but 1 thank you for the privi-
lege of speaking in my own behalf.

H0AR AND A. P. A.
M3de Subject of Sermon by Rev. Dr.
Brady of Boston,
Who Alleges to Show Up Senator's Reasons for
Recent Attack.

Boston, July 28.-As an Introduction
to his sermon, this evening, Rev. Dr.
Brady of the Peoples Temple, gave the
following reasons for Senator Hoar's at.
tack on the A. z. A in recent speech
in Rhode Island:
First, as Senator Hoar was ambitious
to run as dark horse for the Presidency
against Mckinley and Harrison, both OF
who were A. p. A. S or had Endorsed the
order, he (the senator) wished to curry
favor with the Catholic vote of the country
by attacking the A. p A.
Second, the Hoar family was a large
political family and they wished to hold
Office by means of Catholic votes; even
Sherman Hoar having turned mugwump
for that purpose.
Third, Senator Hoar was defeated as a
delegate from Worcester to the Repub-
lican state convention, last fall, by an A
Z. A. man, and he attended the conven-
ton on credentials borrowed from q
Hibernian delegate The senator owed
the A. ?. A whack on that account
DIR. Brady said that the Hoars were very
slippery bpt the A. 2. A. would retire
the senior senator to political oblivion the
next time he came up for Office.
