There are ten criminal* now lying
under sentence of death in the mining t
region of Pennsylvania who have seen '
the dawn of their last day on earth, nn- '
leds nature or their own hands have inter- t
fered to save them from the gallows. ]
To-day six art to be hanged at Pottsville 1
and four at Mauch Chunk. The Haiti- \
more American says: "They have been J
convicted of participation in the mon- i
ntrotn atrocities of thu Mollie Maguircs, 1
the sccret organization which for years '
set all law at defiance in the coal district,
and to whose doors more than a score ol
murders can be traced. It is more than
tifteen years since they commenced to
slay the mining overseers and other men
upon whom the fatal verdict of the
Order had been pasted. Their victims
were ruui iidkii 111 wit* loneiy denies 01
the mountain*, or occasionally (heir
homes were firetl at night, anil as they
iMQed forth they were met by a volley
of bullets. It may seem strange that for
ho long a time the U4?i*aHAinr? escaped, hut
it must !h? remembered that the Mollie
Maguires were thoroughly organized
throughout (he whole of tla* mining
country. If a victim w?? selected Inn
certain locality hid executioner* were
summoned front tho next district to do the
Moody deed, and their operations were ho
Hecret that detection wax extraordinary
difficult. Perplexity and danger surrounded
every effort of the ordinary officer!
of the law to track them down. They
found sympathy ami help on every side.
If pursuit wiismade by a force which the
,i:.l
...uu.vn ..... ..u? U...W .?? ufir.Mj ICT.^1 I.
wiu an ea*y mailer to hide the criminal*
away in the lahyrinlhean receffe* of ihe
mine* until the affair hud hl?>wn over.
To their fellow-workmen they were Ihe
Inatrumeiita for executing vangeanco on
those they deemed their oppressor*, ami
they met with friend* everywhere, li
wan not until the leading coal corporation*
organized n body of pcoutx, police
and detective* and procured eouiuiinaion*
for them from the Slate that anything effective
wo* done toward* making an example
of the iui?creant*. This force diligently
pursued it* duties'. Some of it*
membera successfully undertook the perilous
task of associating a* *]iie* with the
Mollie Mnguire*, and in their haunt*
collecting evidence againnt them.. Soon
they (Uncovered testimony on which ar^
rent* could be made, and then the
criminals were hunted out and captured.
The history of this labor, if fully written,
would be full of romantic incidents, equal
to anything that can be found in the pages
of fiction.
The trials of the men who are to be
hanged to-day commenced nearly a year
ago. Every effort lias been made to save
them from their doom. Test eases were
carried up to the Supreme Court on tech*
nical issues after conviction had been
found in the lower tribunals, but ouch
attempt to procure* a reversal of the verdict
resulted only in failure. The Court
of Pardons was resorted to, hut it also
refused *o interfere with the processes of
justice, and the last hope for their lives
has been exhausted. Stern as may seem
the necessity for inflicting upon them the
unit! punismueni Known 10 me law, n
nevertheless exists. Their deeds were
utterly without extenuation, save in that
spirit which recognizes bloodshed as junt
reprisalfor imaginary wrongs. By their
violence they paralyzed the very indnatry
upon which they professed to depend,
and helped to make the mining districts
scenea of murder and ruffianism. The
catalogue of their crime*, an whown by
the evidence produced against them on
their trials, contains the name* of worthy
and respectable men who were killed
simply because they wore obnoxiotu to
the sanguinary order. It seems to have
had no object except that of murder. Its
members were outlaws whose hand was
against every man and every man'a hand
against them. They considered it noble
to take human life, and one who had
murdered a foe of the order was distinIguished
above those of his fellows whose
hands were not staiued with blood.*'
Tup.St. l'aul IVm says: "One of the
aigniticant incident* ut the bond election
in St. Paul wan the appearance of B'ndtop
Draco and Binhop Ireland at tho palla in
the Fir*t Precinct of the Third Ward,
where they walked arm-in-arm to ca9t
their firat rote. They voted there for the
tirut and only time in their liven, and they
voted for tho proposition to ?etllo the
bonds and redeem the credit of the State.
Tho incident is honorablo to the Right
Reverend gentlemen, and i? worthy ol
honorable mention. We can only regret
that the Catholic voters of the Third
Ward failed so generally to imitate the
nohlft ftsmnnlo of thair Hi?hnn?." RUlinn
Whipple, of the Episcopal Church, also
I voted for the payment of the bonds, audi
worked earnestly to that end.

Bur position as prosecutor you did 1
think it proper to hold direct com- ;
licntion with him. in accordance 1
i this understanding 1 prepared a brief 1
ment in letter form on the 26th
of February and addressed it 1
on. It contained names of members 1
?o Legislature, with whom Tweed '
had corrupt dealings and the names

as a summary of what he could do,
to show bin good faith. This letter
addressed to you, and I handed it to

In order that it might not become a
matter lot reporters comment that Tweed
was receiving frequent telegrams and
correspondence the name of Luke Grant
wan selected as the one under which to
address kitu, and on March 27th he received
from Bryant the following:
Buckingham Hotel, March 27,1877.
To LuU Grant, 70 Ludlow Sired:
Solid. See me at 11; the General later.
(J. Union,
Sure enough on the same day you appeared
at Ludlow street jail with your
?</? achalcs (Bryant), This wad an interview
impressed uy Bryant on Tweed
ih one 1 waa to know nothing of, and
pou nover alluded to it yourself
until I mbaequently expressed my
utoni*hm?Qt to you that 1 was
lot informed of your iutention. Then
pou pretended that you knew nothing of
Bryant, and had thought lie was Tweed's
'riend. To uso a vulgarism, the explanation
ww "too thin." How odd ydur
:ouducton this occasion looks when contracted
witli tho high-toned views you
ixpressed when Peck ham and I tirst no:ompanie(J
you to the jail, to tho effect
hat you must receive everything from
Tweed thxough counsel. Tweed, as lie
nformi me, had'expected at this interriew
a full examination. Ho says that
pour curiously cast your eyes over his
nass of papers, then in a confused condi
:ion, out mmiesteu no interest except on
he subject of Senator Woodin and to a?:ertain
the name of the editor of
i (paper. At theBe you grasped
;agerly nnd took a statement from
lim in regard to them, which you
:arried ofT, and, by the way, as you have
not returned if,he would be glad to have
rou do bo at ouce. The proposition that
INreed ollexed wan made an an absoluteconlition
of Uia release, lie was an informer,
in tlio ordinary acceptance of the
word. lie made it not to injure any paricular
individual, but to nave himself, a*
10 thought, from perpetual imprisonnent.
It -vraa not intended for a political
iword, to be used by any one, and it wna
prepared,cm you well know, utterly regardless
of |>olitical parties. He wm
not pleasedtliat this interview with you
:ould only assure him that you wished to
uake political capital. He was in your
lianda, however, and he had to submit,
but not content with this interview
without ui * knowledge, you called again,
ind carried away Home papers with
poii, whicn you nave never returned,
rweed carniot particularize them, but
1 would feel obliged if you would return
[hem; also, not carry out your expressed
inteotion'of having nothing tnore
lo do with Mr. Tweed until you hare
lono so. On the same day, as
rweed informs me, Mr. llryant
called on him and wrote a fuller
itatement In regard to Senator Woodin
ind an editor mentioned,which wasjsworn
if Tweed,|as Bryant told him, by your direction;
tli is he carried away with him as
ilso a very large amount of checks which
le said w?re needed by Mr. O'Connor,
ind you. O'Conner informed me the
le had never asked to nee them, and Urvint
has Haitlj both to Tweed and myself,
md I believo to other* that you
md Tilden had them on ttio same day
with yourlaat viait on Tweed, and after
Bryant's departure Tweedy received a telegram
of which the following is a copy:
Grand Union Hotel, March i!8,1877,
To Luke Grant, 70 Ludlow Street:
Solid. Again accepted and secure.
(Sighed) C. O. Bryant.
On the -Slh of March I received a note
from Bryant, from the Grand Union Hotel.
The following is a copy of that portion
of it which associates him with you
md furnishes a hint as to what disposition
was made of the checks and pa|>er9
:aken from Tweed by you and Bryant:
Grand Union, Thursday Evening.
My Dea.r Mr. Townlend?1 have a
jrowing aemirance that you will not be
jailed upon to make out any schedule of
the surrender of values in our case. The
precedent in Ingersoll'a and not Woodward's
enlargement, will be the model of
jut jiuriy. xiu una uumu his iiuuiHiiumm
which cannot be repeated. The surrenler
of valuea affords so poor an excuse
ihut the thing will not be exhibited unluly.
Yet as something fully couimenturate
is necessary and the forthwith information,
not property, will be taken.
3f this the wine is a golconda indeed
ind our General has taken great loads
with him to Albany of the ore. This is
ill. We 1W by night.
Yours truly,

[ was determined about this time to meet
rou if poinible. Accordingly I telegraphed
to you at Albany and you replied
to me by telegram, dated April 2d,
lhat you would lie at the Buckingham
Hotel Wednesday morning, which was
ihe 4th. I un not certain whether you
kept your appointment that day, but 1
met you there about that time. Our
interview was short. At that time I
isked you if you really desired Tweed to
make a full and complete statement of
bis association with King matters. 1
itated to you that Tweed was in such a
:ondition of iuind that he did not appear
:obo aware of what course would meet
rour approval. -You then said you
wanted to know all, and that if he made r
iuii coniesBion, anarestorea wnut properly
he had left, he would bo released, and
lot otherwino. Having heard that Kelly,
Comptroller, had an interview with you
ibout the name time I called upon him
ind learned that you had maue about
the samo statement to him, and being
impressed by Kelly with his belief, you
ivere sincere in your promise, laet to
work immediately with Tweed to prepare
a statement of his oft'er. In nplte of
pour awurnnce, Tweed was in doubt
m to whether you intended pood faith,
ind this uncertainty waanot lessened by
the apparent intimacy kept up by you
with Bryant. On the 6th of April he
telegraphed to Tweed aa follows:
Grand utfion Hotel, April 5,1877.

lent to Twe?d n telegram, ot which the

Lulc Qrant, 70 Ludlow tlreet:
Up to-night and down to-morrow night
with something conclusive.
[Sgined] O. Uniow.
In preparing the statement of Tweed
I labored under difficulties. I was not
familiar with the actions or surrounding*
of the Rinpof which Tweed had been a
member, awl through imprisonment, his
memory, unless refreshed, was not i
clear an it had been in regard to subjec
about which ho might be exacted togii
evidence. It was important that whe
the statement was presented to you i
would not appear as though Tweed wi
holding back anything. 1 knew from tl
observation of him he had no inteutlo
of doing so. To make certain that not!
ing of moment had been ommitted, 1 cal
ed on John Kelly on the evenir
of tho 11th of April and read t
him such portion ot the statement n
would enable him to judge whether i
was sufficiently comprehensive. Kell
could think of no subject at the tim
which had not been inserted, and 1 started
for Albany on tho morning of the 10th
On the 17th of April 1 presented th
statement to you in your oflice at Albanj
but beforodoinjjso I exacted homyo
a nromiso that in cane you did not cor
sider that Tweed had complied with hi
.promise you would return the stateiuer
and would not permit a copy of any pat
of it to be made. I at first insisted thti
no one but yourself should seo the stat<
ment, but to this you would not assent
though you assured me it would ha sncrpi
toall eyes but those of S. J. Tilden am
your father, whom you designated it
your advisors. As I thought you neede
advisors, I assented to thin, and with th
understanding that if your pledges wer
in any way broken Tweed should hen
leased, and wc parted.
Jn order to refresh your memory, an
that the public may understand whs
Tweed really ottered, the following is
copy of the prelude to or beginning of hi
ntatement:
tweed'h statement and promise.
Tweed asserts and is willing to swea
that the facts pet forth in annexed paper
are true, except such as related on infor
mation.and tho.se he|believes to l?e true an
susceptible of corroboration. While cor
tiued in prinou lie is unable to produc
such evidence as would he within hi
grasp if permitted to be at large, llo doc
not ask to huve the indictments agains
him Dollejproiued at this time, nor does h
ask that lie should at present be release
from the judgment obtained against hit:
by the State of $0,000,000. lie only ask
that be be diaclmriretl from ctitninnl nr
rest on his own recognition, nnil release*
from arrest on the civil process wliicl
now holds liirn and the nuiountof inane;
he iff able to restore, small though it id, b"
received as part settlement of said judge
mcnt. This Tweed trusts 'the Attorne;
General will consider a Rullicient guarant
that he will fulfill any conditions wliicl
the Attorney General may require o
him in carrying out the promises which
as a condition of hu discharge, he inake>
Tweed agrees to hold hiuueil in readines
upon notice that his presence is re
<l!iired to go to any itlace designated b;
the Attorney Generator the purpose o
giving evidence on behalf of the people
and, to testify there to any and every
thing within his knowledge relating it
liis past transactions in defrauding o
aiding others to defraud the State or an;
part of it, and to give evidenci
in detail so far as he can to any am
everything that he knows in regard ti
any and all persons with whom he hm
heretofore had illegal connections, a licet
ing any public or private interests, am
will reserve nothing, nor will he declitu
to testify against anyone with whom h<
has been so connected, whether he ma;
iiute wccii inn uiuot, iiiuwiaic iriCIIU U
not. In "writing letter, which ho dii
onthcGth of December last, to Chas
O'Connor, believing him to he at tlx
time in full charge of what arc known iu
the ring; suits, Tweed was fully cog
nitantof the fact that he committed him
self "fully to the most thorough ant
exhaustivestatement of his connectioi
with the King matters, should such dc
mand be made upon him an a condition o
his release. Tweed has been given ti
understand by the Attorney General tha
under 110 other conditions can he he re
leased from imprisonment. He accept
the situation and intends to comply, ai
he thinks he Iirh fully done with the de
mand so made, but he holds himself en(irnlv
willinir In iliunlnua nnnpv mltn
matter which may at present have eacap
ed his remembrance if hit) attention i
called to the subject. For years Tweci
has borne the burden of mental and pliya
ical punishment which otherH with e<jua
justice should ^ have shared. Younge
men than he might well have succumbei
to it. Ur> to this time no argument coult
induce him to break the silence wliicl
from the tirnt he has kept. He is now ni
old man, U suffering from disease whicl
his imprisonment but aggravate*
and lie is sadly in need u
rest from the ' mental strain t<
which he has so long been snbjectet
from his former companions in crime
Ho feels himself isolated. Those whon
he looked upon as his friends in hi
palmy days, and for whose offences he ha
silently suffered, have not only held them
selves aloof from him, but some have be
come the loudest in their denunciation o
him. Tweed asks nothing further fron
them. He will recognize no further clain
they may inako upon himself for siloncc
Henceforth, if the people will accept hiti
as their witness, Tweed promises to do al
that lies in his power to rectify wha
wrongs he lma done.

Uefore I left Albany, and on the 17th o
April, ono of your warm political am
social friends and State officers suggestec
to me. among other thing*, that Tweet
should make a statement in regard tohii
connection while in the Senate with tw<
of the leading railroad companies of thi
State, and also of any corrupt dealings hi
may have hod with two gentlemen, (nam
ing them) one a Democrat, who haa lielc
the highest position in thia State, and lh<
other a Republican, who haa for man;
years been conaidered one of tho able*
advisors in his partv. I immediately re
turned to New \ork and questions
Tweed on the aubjecta suggested, and 01
the 18th I returned to Albany, bearini
with me statement in reference to th
railroad companiea referred to^ and whicl
were not very Haltering to me. The rca
in character of the managers at that time,
In together with Tweed'* ntatement, wa*
re that he knew nothing derogatory to the
n character of either of the gentlemen reit
ferrcd to. Sinco learning that your father,
w whom youjhad denign.Ued to uie an ono of
to your ndvisorn, hud been counsel to oue
n of tliecc corporation* nt the time Tweed
i- won in the Senate, and that Tilden. tour
I- oilier adviser, had been counsel for the
ig other, it haa occurred to uie since the
o return by, you of the statement, that a
,s false step perhaps was taken in making
t any remark in reference to thoso roads,
f anil I have thought, too, that perhaps
o Tweed's failure to impart?evidence which
il would smirch the reputation of these
i. gentlemen might have further tended to
e injure him in his appeal. 1 do not con*
r, ceive it would bo proper in me, even if
it Tweed assented to make public through
i- this letter the persons implicated by
s Tweed. In the statement which you reit
turned u large number of men of all
