Mr.. Frederick A. Luckenbach, a for
mer member of the New York Stock
Exchange but resident of Denver for
several years. The present editor of
THE Gazette" met Mr.. Luckenbach
often in Denver and heard him re-
hearse the matter, substantially as
given in this statement:
I'm 1865 1 visited London, England,
for the purpose of placing there Penn
sylvania oil properties in which was
interested. | took with me letters of
introduction to many gentlemen in
London. among them one Mr.. Ernest
Seyd, from Robert M. Faust, eX-treas-
urer of Philadelphia. l became well
acquainted with Mr.. Seyd and with his
brother Richard Seyd, who, l under
stand, is yet living 1 visited London
thereafter every year, and with each
visit renewed my acquaintance with
Mr.. Seyd. In February, 1874 while on
one of these visits, and while his guest
at dinner, 1, among other things, allud-
ed to rumors afloat Of parliamentary
corruption and expressed astonish-
ment that such corruption should ex-
list. In reply TO this he told me he
could relate facts about the corruption
of the American congress that would
place it far ahead of the English par
lament in that line. After dinner ne
invited me into another room, where
he resumed the conversation about
legislative corruption. He said: IF
will ,N1o hAr n C q
gentleman not to divulge what 1 am
about to tell you while 1 live, will
convince you that what l said about the
corruption of the American congress
is true" l gave him my promise, and
he then continued: 81 went to Ameri-
ca in 1S72-73, authorized to secure, If
could, the passage of bill demonetiz-
ing silver 1t was to the interest OF
those whom 1 representative govern
ors of the Bank of England-to have it
done. l took with me 100000, With
instructions If that was not sufficient
to accomplish the object, to draw for
another 100000, or as much more as
was necessary. I saw the committees
of the house and senate and paid the
money and stayed In America until L
knew the measure was safe. Your peo-
pie will not now comprehend the FAR
reaching extent of that measure, but
they will in after years. Whatever you
may think of corruption in the English
parliament, 1 assure you 1 would not
have dared to make such an attempt
here as l did in your country"
Such, in brief, is the crime of 1873
the crime which the people of the
United States are clamoring to have
undone a crime which, in the language
of Mr.. Carlisle, would ultimately en-
tail more misery upon the human race
than all the wars, pestilences and fam
ines that ever occurred in the history
of the world"

question:
Major c. w. Kyle said he had not heard
OF any assertions from the Republican
party on account of Teller's course. ,
He remarked: "Silver is an industry, the
same as wheat and the way to protect it
is to sustain the principles of protection
for which the Republican party declares.
The Colorado Senator should have re-
mained in the party 10 secure protection
for other industries. 1t was selfish to leave
because silver was not protected in the
manner that he desired"
Grove P. Ayers remarked that he had
read the address of the silver men and was
impressed by the tone and logic of the
argument. He said: 81 have not heard
OF any California Republicans leaving the
party in consequence of the attitude of
Senator Teller and his silver associates. [

After having asked the same question

by the court that he must cease he became
noisy and fen into a.wrangle with the at

property, gives the name of the grantor

natures were acknowledged. There is no
question in my mind about the matter.
Everything is as straight as shingle."
Mr.. Williams stated further that the
property was valued in the neighborhood
OF 81, 250,00O.
Early in the evening call was made at

Mrs. Janet R. Craven, the grantee men,

ATTORNEYS TAKE PRECAUTIONS
The Southwest Corner of Pine and
Sansrme One of the Pieces
of Real Estate.

George R. Williams and Stephen Rob
erts, as attorneys for Mrs. Nettie Craven
had two deeds recorded yesterday to prop
erty worth over million dollars, which
Mrs. Craven claims James g. Fair gave
her before his death.
The intimation was made some time ago
that Mrs. Craven had deeds to valuable
real estate. but the nature of the property
was not made known.
The deeds were the ordinary printed
blanks, the insertions describing the prop
erty and the signatures being made in
lead-pencil.
Both purported to have been made out
on Septem Der 8, 1894 and were acknowl-
edged by Notary Public J. J. Cooney on
September 81, 1894.
Both witnessed that through love and
affection and desire to provide for her
future maintenance, James G. Fair had
made gift to Mrs. Craven of the property
described. The first deed was for the lot
on the southwest corner of Pine and San
some streets, 227 Is feet on Pine and 131 :6
feet on Sansome. This property is worth
over 800 600. The other deed was for a
half block of land bounded by Eleventh,
Potter and Mission streets, $50 feet on Mis-
sion street and 275 feet on Potter street.
Mr.. Fair paid $550,OO0 for this tract in
1891.
Attorneys Williams and Roberts exer-
cised the greatest care over the documents
while in the Recorders Office, sitting by
Deputy Joseph Cooney while he copied
the deed and taking possession of them
Immediately on their being finished. Tney
gave as a reason for this action that they
feared that the pencil insertions in the
blank might become effaced if the deeds
were left in the Office and handled by the
officials.
The searchers of records, who desired to
get the main features of the deeds, were
not permitted to tou ch them at ali, their
only inspection of the documents being
while they were held in the hands of the
attorneys.
The Recorder was no less careful regard
ing his portion of the transaction, more pre-.
cautions being taken than with any docu.
ments ever recorded in his office.
Not only were the verbiage and inser-
tions of the deeds copied, but also the num-
bers of the practitioners blanks, and even
the printers figures at the bottom of the
blanks.
When the work was all done the book in
which the deeds were recorded was
accident happens to it.
George R. Williams, the attorney, who
personally had the deeds recorded, was seen
