Hackett, 8peclal Offi cer Koran, and Turnkey Turbe mt villa Undertake to Explain a Few of the Main Point. Charles T. Snltmarsh, tho defaulting day polico station-keeper, is itill conspicuously absent from the scene of his wholesale and systematic pilfering. It is also made Tub Apr sal's pninful duty to state that the efforts thus far made by the police to rapture him would not do credit to ten your old child of even aver ago intelligence. Chief iavis was kept Interested yoster day by tho appearance and expressions of jK'ople who were not in tho leant surprised at tho disclosures. The Chief refused to credit tho validity of these convictions and frankly acknowledges that he was, so to peak, speechless over them. Such an ad mission from tho head of the Memphis Po liee Department will hardly inspire tho public with an overwhelming conlldcuce in his ponatrative shrewdness. How man of family on a salary of $;xX) a year, with no other legitimate business, could live as Halt mn rh did, under the noso of the Chief, and yet not rxtilo suspicion, is seven days' wonder, if the Chief's ut terances on this point may bo credited, then there sre scores of men in Memphis lienor einiou lor mo twice ne unius man himself, and many ot,thcin are on the po lice force in the rank of patrolmen. An Apckal reporter met Chief lavis at the stutioiihouse at 5 o'clock p.m. yester day. There was also tl'iero at tho time Sergeant Put Ilackctt, Tho two ollieers volunteered further explanation of how the robberies were iwrpetrutcd, and how, in their judgment, it was nothing to be wondered at that its discovery was de layed. (With diversion to explain that never before has any regular investigation of the otllee s Hairs been held, tho reader ill coincide Willi tho chief tlist robbery was easy. ) Sultmarnti had small blank receipt book which lie used in turning over amounts, collected on mittimuses, to President Ilsddcn. lie tilled out the fucn of the blank and on the reverse side mado n itemized statement, giving name of tho party w ho paid and amount This ho sent to President I hidden, who signed the receipt without once questioning its cor rectness, or biking any steps to verify il. Hut tho strangest fact is, according to tho chief and Sergeant Hackett, that on tho rcfftilar mittimus Irank the entries are proerly and fully mude. Thus it stands lliut there were two books thuro, si in. ml side by side, even casual comparison of which' at any timo would have re vealed how thinir were going. Con fronted daily by a ninn living away lieyoiid bis menus, snorting tho most valuable diamonds, and squander Ing money with a class of is-onle, associa tion w ith whom, ordinarily, is but to draw the eve of suspicion upon the guilty psrty, the Memphis polico authorities now con tent themselves with the plea, "We never dreamed lie wss dishonest!" Ex-Turnkey Turbeville, as sample of the blind, foolish confidence rep-wed in baltiiiarsh, staled that bo and Turnkey Hurdirk would, whenever they took in money on mit timuses after night, issue their receipts, Sesl the money in an envelope and place it in the ollieo safe, end think no more about It! Well, It is consoling to reflect thst these trusting olhcists sre only ro quired to keep a register ot prisoners brought In and turn the key on ttiem be tween 0 o'clock p. m. and 6 o'clock a. m. v "What has Wn done toward rapturing I fnltmanth?" the reiiorler inquired of Chief ', Davis, "llsve you sent out telegraphic warnings to the police of other cities. 'No' ''llsve you communicated with them In any wuy? "Well, there tins N-en a littlo corre spondence by mail. You see, 1 isve very little information as to where lie hss gone. or whst direction he took. 1 wanted to learn more definitely on that point before sending out anything, so that when 1 do it ran bo an airurato description." "Home one told mo ho saw HHltmarsh pear the corner of IWolo and Main streets Saturday morning." volunteered the re nnet rr. "1 wss tol l." said the Chief. "Hint be wss seen going out a certain road Friday with a bundle under bis arm."

He six' nt thst money alvout as Inst as ho took It. "Why did you let him get away at when you know of his guilt In plontv ot tiuio to hold him?" was tho next inquiry directed to tho chief. His reply was, hesitatingly, "Well, I don't know." I he woio caucht awav from here how would he he brought buck, when the Slate hns no money for such expenses?" "I don't know, unless tho Cotnmisiion ers or his bondsmen should come forward and foot the bills." "What bond was ho under?" "Five hundred dollars." Think of that for looseness in tho con duct of city all'airs, at least in tho police department! Only $."0u! Tho reporter was in formed that there were frequently thousands of dollars in his keeping, most ly city funds, and they frequently re mained there several days. At tho timo Hultiudrsh went homo "sick." so the re porter was informed, about So0(K) were in the safo. The wonder has been expressed that ho did not take that, but an explana tion is found in tho fact that he did not enter the station after "illness" took him away a day or two before ho skipped. Lliiel Davis expressed the opinion that he would be nblo to recover $1,000 of tho amount stated from tSultniarnli's bonds men for tho vears lHHS-H'J. Ihe Chief, thrift. Hackett and Turnkey Turbeviilo then went into an explanation of their opinions that an injustice had been done iNiltmaruli "in Tun Appkal's statement that it w:is possible for him to "knock down Irom prisoners, these opin ions they based UHn what is occasionally fact, viz.: Thut a crowd of idlers usually follows ollieers and their prisoners to the station, and they could see the money taken from the prisoner counted. A coun teracting (act is that the idlers dnqicrso when the man is locked un. and if thev should remember tho amount, nouo of them were ever called In to testify, for, as tho oflieers expressed it, "there has uever been a dispute over that." l'robubly there never bus, for reasons set forth by Tiik A pes a I. yesterday. 1 lion tho ollieers took p the unlotinded argument that patrol men are vigilant over the matter, but tinully confessed that nil were not. and the discussion wns ended by trgt. Hackett remarking that "No man could 'knock town on one of my prisoners in that wav, Chief Davis was also askod aliout the erasure of pencil Indorsements on the mittimus book referred to yesterday. The .explanation, iu sulutanco the same as already given, docs not explain, for three excellent reasons: They were tor tho most purt, if not entirely, made by Salt marsh, there is now a criminal charge attaint him, and those indorsements formed part of the records. They may bo immaterial to any issue that may arise, nd they may not. There may bo great deal in them. Hut whatever their value, they wero part of the records, made by a public olliccr, and us such should have stood. BIO FIRS AT ABBHDEsN.

A mecling under tho auspices of the Chlcsgo Oklahoma Sot tiers' Association, wus bold today in lit tlo bouse at No. 208 Blue Island avenne, Tho purpose wss to organise colony to locate In the newly ccned territory. Nearly 200 men crowded into the room, eager to enlist In the project, and were re ceived as member of the association. Phillip Hunfleld acted as chairman of the meeting, and M.

McOuire said It was the inten tion of tho association to organise an Oklahoma colony composed of Chi cago boys willing to face hardships fur the chance of getting a homestead The new territory is to be thrown open April 22 forsoltlement. and nnnli can's 'or homesteads will bo required to make alli- uavn iuiu iney were not witmn Oklahoma previous to that day. Consequently it is intended to Stan tho members ol tho col ony from this city April 20.

McGuyo gave a glow ing description of tho new territory, and ended by stating (hat he was bound to be on hand when the hind was parcelled out if he hud to walk tho whole distuueo and make tho journey alone. frank laos, a cowboy, who had been across the territory several times, do scribed tho land and spoke of the dangers tho new settler will have to avoid. He suid some of the country was well watered, uut that a great deal of land would have to bo irrigated. Others spoko declaring that thoro were already nioro men waiting lo enter the territory than there were homesteads of loO acres each. A news paper clipping was read which stated that there would be much lik'htina between settlers and squatters and that murder promised to be as common as pre-emption. Kotwitlistunding these discourage ments almost every mail in the room muniicstod willingness to Join tho colony. Among them wero clerks, stoiekeepers. idlers and workmen, but all alike seemed possessed of the boom. BANK CLEARINGS. Comparative Bhowinsr of the Gross Exchanges For the Week. Boston, Mass., April 7.

The eioipieut preacher said: There is nothing In tho voice or manner of tho butcher to indicate to tho ox that there is death ahead. Tho ox thinks ho ia going on to a rich pasture, field of clover, where all day long he w ill revel in the her baceous luxuriance; but after awhile the lucu and the boys close In upon him with sticks and stones and shouting, and drive him through bars and into doorway, whero bo is fastened, and with a well aimed stroke tho ax fells him; and so tho anticipation of the redolent pasture field Is completely dlsapoiuted. So many a young man has been driven on by tempta tion to what he thought would be paradi siacal enjoyment; but after a while Influ ences with darker huo and swarthier arm closo In uKn him, nd he finds that in stead of making au excursion into gar den be bos been driven "as an ox to the sluuuhtor." We are apt to blamo young men (or being destroyed when wo ought to blame the inllucuccs that destroy them. Society slaughters a great muny young men by the behest: "You must keep up nppcarauccs; whatever bo yeur salary, you must dress as well as others; you must wine and brandy as many friends; you must smoke as costly cigars; you must giro as expen sive entertainments, and you must live iu as fushionablo boarding-butise.
