Letter to Mr. Tallaferro.
Following Is Mayor Taylor's letter to
Mr. Tallaferro:
The City of Richmond,
Mayor's oih>e,
May SO, 11-03.
Mr. G. P. Tallaferro,
Assistant City Engineer:
Dear Sir,?My Information is to tho ef
lect that you stated In court during the
trial of John M, King recently that you
had been lold hy Captain dapper that
i-even member* of the City Council were
In the combine with King, or thnt Cap?
tain Gnssei- had given you Iho name?? of
seven members of the Street Committee
who were brlbe-tnkers. An Mayor, I re
fpeetfully ai>k you to have the list In my
office under your handwriting not Inter
than 11 o'clock Monday, June 1, 11)03, for
my official Inspection.
Very truly yours,
RICHARD M. . -?LOR.
Mnyor.
The reply of Mr. Tallaferro to Mayer
Taylor's letter was as follows:
Ofllce of City Engineer.
Richmond, Va? Mny noih, 1P03.
To the Hon, Richard M. Taylor,
Mayor of the City of Richmond. Vn.:
Denr Sir,?In compliance with your let?
ter, received this P. M., asking for the
nnmes of the Councilmen mentioned ns
being crooked by Captain Qasser to me
in his interview, which took place In the
City Engineer's office about the 1st of
July of last yenr. I herewith give ynti thp
nnmes as he gave them to me: They nro
In arcordnncA not only with my recollec?
tion, but are as shown hy a slip of paper
on -which I wrote them nt the time he
called them .and which I put In my pocket
at that time* hence, I do not see how it
ta nnsstihle for rne to have made any mis
take In them.
' Your Information ns to my evidence
given on this point in court, however, ap?
pears to be slightly Incorrect, and there?
fore I had possibly better briefly state
it here. My original statement to Col?
onel Cutshaw. and afterwards given In
my evidence In bo'tb trills of Mr. King,
was that Captain Gasser, during his con?
versation wllh me on this subject, said
that there wero seven of them "crooked";
that he called the names ot Ri* and sold
"one dead," and when 1, after a mo?
ment's reflection, suggested the name of
the dead ono, he. with a. nod of asBent,
said, "Yes." Ho spoke moro particularly
of Mr. King, and left me clearly under
the impression that he (King) was the
man . through whom the business was
transacted, and that the others were as?
sociated With him. He did not say that
he hnd paid money directly to any of
these men. nor did he give me hla reasons
for saying that "the others" were
"crooked," and ? did not ask him for
nny. 1 told him It was a very serious
matter; that I would like to talk to
Colonel Cutshaw about It, and I would
?dike for him to tell Colonel CutshAw
about it: he said he wanted to, nnd would
do so, and. as you know, did t?o so.
The names of the Councilmen he called
to me ns being "crooked" were as fol?
lows: King, Mills, Gibson, Glenn, Pol?
lock. Rahen, and "one dead," said he.
After thinking a moment as to who was
dead, I said, "Captain. It is not. possible
you mean 'old man Woody?' and, with a
nod of assent, ho replied: Yes." I can
give you his statement more fully If you
desire it.
Very respectfully
P. P. TALTA.FKRRO.
Assistant City Engineer.
. Mr, Pollock's Denunciation.
Mr. Pollock aroso at once and said the
bringing of his name In such a connection
/?a as a groat surprise to him. He said be
denounced Gasser If be had made any
such statement, and he demanded a full
nnd thorough investigation. Mr, Pollock
broke down and shed tears during the de?
livery of his brief speech, and said that to
be thus vilely slandered before his people
was more than he could stand.
"I defy GRSBer, I defy Gude, I defy
"Welnbrunj).' 1 defy King, I defy anyone
to substantiate any such statement," de?
clared Mr. Glenn, with uplifted hands.
5Ie declared that he was utterly surprised,
end that he had rather be hung by the
meek until dead than for bis people to be
mlided by such an Infamous lie and elan
der.
"If I should go down to hell to-nlgnt
II should still protest my Innocence," ho
?"Sid. "Here I am being slandered nnd vll
llfled nnd branded by a man who In a per?
jurer in the courtu of this State!"
"I de?mnn*l a full Investigation, nnd ?
floman? thnt King and Gasser come be
'orr, mo and ?ay that ? ever had a talle
with either of them, or any one else, on
Mie subject.
"I will hole! Casser responsible for his
flandfr of me, and when ho comes be
f.-ir* me there w-tll he? trouble. 1 have a
v.'lfe nnd little children, nnd I shall not
r"rmlt nny ano to besmirch their fuir
name?"
Mr. Glenn showed much feeling, nnd he
?wns loudly cheered when ho resumed hie
*ent. He r?ld n pretty tribute to the
honesty of ih? late? Councilman Woody,
Mr. Mills, whose name wns contained
In the corresponden,??, had rome In late,
end afked thnt the lettern again he read,
which was done.
Mr. Mills Dinier,,
Mr. Mille now arose, and In a deliberate
manner, denounced the statement of Cap?
tain GiFser.
He said that be bad heretofore brand?
ed Cesser In the Water Committee and
he now took occasion to do so again.
He demanded tho fullest Investlgatleui.
"Mr. President: Without further de?
nunciation of the man," said Mr. Pol?
lock, with tear* Streaming down his
cheeks, "I offer this resolution," nnd he
handed a paper to the desk calling
for the Immediate Investigation Of the
charges and a substitute was offered by
Mr. Crenshaw, and afterwards tempor?
arily withdrawn.
Mr. Pollock defended the memory of
hll deed colleague and said that at bis
home was u wife and sweet little
children whose good names demanded vin?
dication from the slandering charge made
? gainst their husband and lather. He
promised to bave a meeting of the Board
of Alderman lo concur before, sundown to?
day.
Mr. Garber und Mr. Peters spoke In the
highest terms of Mr. Woody, "mid paid
the tendereet trillinoti to hie Iunior and
to his memory.
Mr. Peters said the city should, spend
all her money to probe thc*e Infamous
statements to the bottom. In closing Mr.
Inters denounced Gasser, and declared

Or discomfort, no Irritation ot the In
U?itlnu?-but gentle, prompt, thorough?
healthful cleansing,' when you take

Well-Known Artists to Com?
pete for Stuart Monument.
Will Be 25 Feet High.
The Executive Committee of the Stuart
Monument Association met last night nt
Lee Camp Hall and spent an hour or
more talking over the plans of tho monu?
ment to bo erected to tbo momory of
"Jeb" fltuart, the groat cavalry lender.
The designs for the ntatuo will be sub?
mitted on July 115th. when tho duelslon
of the choice will be made, Captain M,
J Dlmmock, chairman of the committee
which has this matter In charge, stated
last night that some of tho most promi?
nent artists In tbo country will enter tbe
competition. Two very distinguished
sculptors, however, will not- One is St.
OaUdene, the othep \palentlne, of Rich?
mond. Neither of these gentlemen ever
enter into competitions. But tha com?
mittee decided lo Rive nil a chance to try
thetr bends.
It has been decided that the pndestnl
will be about ten feet high and Will ba
built of Virulilla Brani to. Captain Dim?
mot-k will give personal direction of this.
If tlio monument be placed in tho Capi?
tol Square tho pedeMal will be put upon a
mado elevation, IiIrIi aa the floor of the
Ospito] portico. The top of the pedeaiul
will then be ten feet above this. The

the peerless cavalier not less than some
twenty-five feet ttbove. the level of tho

<iro lu favor of holding to tbo purpose of
erecting: the monument In tbo Square
?and receive the tlO.000 appropriated by
the Legislature for that purpose. If the,
monument pees elsewhere the city will
have to jrlvo u good deal more In money
