SAYS QUAY STOPPED SUIT
Sleuth Denies Van Valkenburg
View of Bribery Case

Wukes-Barre. Penn, aug. HERNIA
Barring 81 this city. chief detective in
the case Of the commonwealth against
= 4. Van Valkenburg, In the Schuylkll
County Court at Pottsville in 1885,, when
he was charged with attempted bribery
Of a legislator. to-day declared as false
the statement that the case was settled
because Of the lack Of a material witness.
Barring says that when the case was
stepped the prosecution was prepared
with the evidence 10 proceed. lie Says
that ae received a telegram from Senator
Quay AZ that time 10 stop the case, and
that q nollo PROSE- was entered and the
costs paid by the defence. Mr.. Barring
said.
Nan Valkenburg is all wrong. I am
surprised 20 hear that he has made such
an assertion. The case was stopped when
I got telegram from Senator Quay 10
stop the case 1 turned the telegram over
20 Mr. WhitehOuse and District Attorney
Edward W BeChtel. The case was then
ia court and the drawing OF the jury had
begun. Later al the expenses we're pald
by an attorney who was cot previously IN
the case. but who came into a hotel IN
POttsville and offered me satchel full
Of money.
This monsy, the detective said. was for
the settlement Of the expenses and costs
Of the case as FAR as Il had gone, but he
refused 20 take the money, informing the
lawyer thai he SHOULD see Mr.. Whitehouse
and the District Attorney, who would
have To take charge Of that end of the
anair. Continuing Barring said:
This man Gibson, whom Van Ealken-
surg refers 10. was not employed by me
when ] FIRST took charge or the case.
think that he was sent 10 NE from Phlls-
delphia. and was assigned 10 watch the
Stetson Hotel where many political con-
ferences were held Several times he al
most threw my case of the tracks by his
work which was not under my direction,
but when ne brought us any Information
II was accepted and then verified.
The influence Of the Congressman J al
tlde 30 was used upon Senator Quay, and
at the final stage OF the affair j believe
he was friendly 10 Mr. Van Nalkenburg
and his associates. but he was not al the
beginning. What effected the change one
can only surmise but as about that and
all other things al that time, J think you
can draw your own conclusions.
