AT C0RYELL'S
JULY 20, l777
General George Washington Spent
''The Week End Here and
Wrote to Congress.
BUT ONE OF SEVERAL VISITS

One hundred and thirty-seven
years ago the Continental soldiers
under General George Washington
were crossing the Delaware at Cory
ELS (now Lambertville-New Hope)
and at Howell's Ferry (now Stock
toni, and the great general himself
remained here for several days.
The American army was on its
way from Pompton Plains to Phil
adelphia. where it was believed the
British army, under General Howe,
was headed for. On July 80, 1777,
General Washington, who was quar-
tered in a house on what is now
North Main Street, sent the follow
ing letter to President Wharton, of
the Continental Congress:
"Coryel's Ferry, Jersey,
July 80, 1777.
"Sir,---I do myself the honour to
inform you that | arrived here on
the twenty-eighth, at night, with
Gen. Greene's division, one brigade
of which passed the river that even
ing, that the whole might encamp
more commodiously. Gen. Stephen,
with his own and Lincoln's division,
also arrived little time after at
Howell's Ferry, four miles above
this.
Il have thought proper to halt
the whole army at these two places
and at Trenton till our knowledge of
the enemy's destination becomes
more certain. If the Delaware is
their object, we are now within two
days easy march of Philadelphia,
and can be there in time, / trust,
to make every necessary disposition
for opposing them. On the other
hand, if Gen. Howe, by this eXpedi-
ton to sea, only means deep feint,
and should turn his attention again
to the North River, we can from
hence reinforce General Putman's
army more expeditiously than if we
were further advanced.
The Importance of my receiving
the earliest intelligence of the fleets
arrival is apparent; and Congress,
am certain, will direct proper
measures for obtaining it, and also
for transmitting it to me in the
most speedy manner. If authentic
advice would be had of the fleets
coming into Delaware at the same
time that it is communicated to me
it will be proper that an express
should be sent to Lord Stirling or
the commanding officer at Trenton,
to advance with all the troops from
thence. Should this not be done,

ANOTHER BLOW AT BILL EGAN
STRUCK BY dip"

STRUCK BY dip"
Another confession involving big
Bill' Egan of the detective bureau
and accusing him Of shaking down
pickpocket is in the hands of States
Attorney Hoyne.
The prosecutor issued a statement
in which he told of the ''squawk"
made to him by Earl Irwin, a pal of
Eddie Jackson, now in Joliet peniten-
tiary.
More than a year ago Earl Irving,
a notorious pickpocket, told me of
brides which he had paid to Egan for
protection" said Hoyne. Irving said
he had been shaken down a number
of times by The Devil as Egan was
known among the confidence men
and pickpockets. He said it cost him
either $25 or $50 every time Egan
spoke to him.
There was no third party in the
case. Most of the pickpockets paid
their tribute direct to the individual
detectives without the services of a
go-between. Payments were made
anywhere the two would meet.
Sometimes it would be in the back
room of a saloon, in a doorway, or an
alley, or even under a lamp post if it
was late enough at night and there
was no one else around.
eff you remember, Egan handed in
his resignation about that time. let
it be known that had the confession.
His resignation was handed in so that
he could take advantage of his years
of service record and retire on pen
sion OF course, there are no pen
sions in cases of discharge.
81 didn't press Irving's confession
at that time, in pursuit of the custo-
mary rule of my office, which is to
never take the word of a crook I'M
supported. l don't recall whether at
the time Irving was given any leni-
ency for his information or whether
