tlcn, some or them by reason or this fact being
exceedingly oficnslve. No. 44, on the second Boor,
northeast corner of the building, was round es
pecially offensive. Immediate adjustment of
ventilating shaft, however temporary, should be
made for abating the nuisance of No. 44, other
wise this closet should not be used. The com.
tnltlee round disinfectants used which were Iner.

1. That in their judgment the standard or

AKOIHEB HOMICIDE.
James Piggs Silled by Travers Curtis Besnlt
of a Boy's Quarrel
On last Wednesday night, as will be remem
bered, an altercation occurred between two boys,
James Dlggs and Travers, alias Traveler Curtis,
on High street, near Seventh. Georgetown, dur
ing which Curtis drew a pistol and shot Dlggs In
the abdomen. Dlggs was removed to the house
of Mrs. Hoover, In Brown's alley, near the scene
or the shooting, where he was carefully attended
by Drs. Tyler and Appleby. He kept sinking
Irom the time or the shooting, and died yester
day morning, abont 6 o'clock. Coroner Patterson
was Immediately notified, and during the morn
ing Dr. Hartlgan made a poit-morteai examina
tion in the presence of the attendant physicians,
the result of which Is given below. Curtis, who
did the shooting, has not yet been arrestel.
Threo Imiiortant witnesses to the affray ami
shooting. Henry Norris, Silencer Brown and Rob
ert Wilt-on, were absent irom the city, and did
not testify. About noon the coroucr proceeded to
hold
AS INQUEST,
and the following jurv was Impanncled: J. B.
Thomas, II. 1'llncr, A. Bloxton, A. B. Lylc, J. W.
Dison and John Callahan.
The following Is the evidence offered:
Tomisa Durkins, sworn: Resldo In Brown's
alley, Georgetown: on the evening of Wednesday,
the 15th Ins t, between 10 and 11 o'clock, as she
was coming across the open space near tho black
smith shop, she saw Traveler Curtis lying on tho
ground, and James Dlggs on top of him; they
seemed to be fighting, and witness parted them;
after artlng them, there were words passed be
tween the boys, and witness tried to have them go
home, and thought It was all oven witness then
started to go homo when she heard more words,
and turned to go back to them, but before she got
to them she heard tlw pistol go off.
Immediately after, the boy, Dlggs, stooped for
ward and said: "Oil!" Witness saw Curtis shoot
the pistol; saw tho plsto1 In his hands; was about
teu lect from them when the shot was fired, and
the Ihivs were not more than six feet apart. Cur

round It had entered the pyloric end of the stom
ach, the pancreas and vena cava, and lodging in the
right psoas muscle; the abdomen cavity was ailed
with nlood; of course tho wound caused death;
no medical or surgical treatment would have
been ef any avail; It was astonishing that he lived
to long.

COLOBZDJiCHOOLS.
Second Districi Parents' Meeting.
Another or the interesting series or parents'
meotiegs, Inaugurated by the ladles connected
with the puollc schools ror colored children In the
Second school district, was held last night at the
John jr. Cook school building, and was largely
attended by parents and others interested In the
cause of education.
The meeting was called to order by Trustee
Johnson, who stated the object ror which they
had assembled, which he said was ror tho purpose
of creating and awakening Interest in the minds of
the rarenta concerning the education or their
children. In addressing himself to them he did
n tt wish to be regarded as a trustee only, but as a
parent having an Interest In common with them.
ou every step ma. was lagen oy mm towards
educating his children theirs shared likewise in
the benefits gained.
The trustees or colored schools, assisted by the
competent and gentlemanly superintendent, Mr.
Cook, tcgether with an unsurpassed corps of lady
teachers, are determined, ror various reasons, to
make the present school year a brilliant one; and,
with an eye to that purpose, are exerting them
selves to their utmost; they could not, however,
accomplish all that they desired without the
hearty co-operation ol the parents, and being
at xlous to secure that, he had requested tbelr
atteudance. What was desired of them he stated
was that they should no arrange their affairs at
home as not to Interlere or prevent their children
rrom being dally In attendance at the school
room, and tense their best efforts In preventing
their children from being late or tardy at school,
as It was pernicious In Its Influences to have the
child grow up to manhood and womanhood with
out having a proper appreciation or time. An
other Important thing was cleanliness. While It
Is no crime, but rather a misfortune, to be poor,
there Is no reason why filth should be associated
with poverty. He stated that he did not wish to
be understood as saying that parents must dress
their children expensively. Let their clothing
be ever so coarse, but by all means bare It clean.
Another point the speaker referred to was that
parents at home should Instruct their children to
be respectful and obedient to their teacher, and
to conduct themselves going to and from school In
a mannerwhlch will refleel credit on their home
training and speak well ot their educational ad
vantages. Trustee Johnson was listened to with market
respect, those present seeming to fully recognise
and appreciate his efforts In behair or their chil
dren. The ladles In charge or the schools were
present, and were the recipients of numerous cn
gratulatlons rrom the parents present.
To those or our readers who really wish to see
the colored school-system or Washington and
Georgetown to advantage, and to see over 700
children formed In line, enter and be seated In
their respective seats inside or fire minutes, we
would advise them to pay a visit to the John F.
Cook building, located on O. between Fourth and
Filth streets northwest, either at the 10 o'clock or
1230 recess.

CLARVOE lNVESTIGATON.
CConlfnacoVrom Third Fag t.)
Q. Was It on that ground you release 1 hi mt
A. I could not do otherwise. . .,,
Q.. Why did you not, when he was actually
under arrest, turn htm over to the court for Its
action t A I thought there was not evidence
enough for me to do so. The court cannot act
without papers and the oath or some Individual.
Well, alter the statement or Mr. Evans that ha
was not the party, why, or course, I did not reel
justified In holding him.
Mr. Henkle. You thought you had made a mis
take t A. Yes, and I was not golnt, to eome here
and make an affidavit to this man being Greeu
when the only party that I knew of to Identify
him said It was not the man; and I could hold no
man without papers.
By Mr. Cook: Q. But, having him here, could
net Information have been made out against him
here that could have held hlmt A I do not
know. From recent developments I suppoie
there might have been, but the recent develop
ments were not then known to me.
U. Snppose you had mentioned the fact that
you had him to Mr. Perry, might not Informa
tion have been made that would have held him
here legally and strictly t A. Well, 1 do not
kiow what Mr. Perry what would have been his
action in the matter. He did not say himself. I
did not suppose
HE COULD BATS MATJX OATH.
Q,. Why did you not when you went over to
ldcntiry, and secured him, and brought him here,
send lor Mr. Perry, a party who had suggested
to you to go over to Baltimore, as well as ror Mr.
Evans? A. Well, because; Ipresumeltwas this :
There was only one train going to Baltimore that
night. Ycu know It was tn the evening when we
arrived here, and there was only one train, and I
had barely opportunity to see Mr. Evans. I did
not have time to see Mr. Perry, though I re
gretted the next morning that I had not done
so.
Q. Did Mr. Green Insist on going baek that
night 1 A. Certainly. That was the agreement
when he left Baltimore, that he should return
the same night.
By Col. Berret: Q. Unless rurther Identified.?
A. Yes. sir.
By Mr. Cook: 0.. Then you base yonr action In
releasing him upon the fact there was only one
train to return In, and that he was here not ac
tually under warrantor arrest, but merely by
voluntary action on his partt A Yes, sir.
Q. Did you In any form gather, during the
whole of the transaction, from' Mr. Clarvoe that
there was any Intimacy, acquaintance, or rela
tionship of any kind existing between Clarvoe
and Green, or any rrlcnd of Green's or Glarvoe'sT
A. Oh no; that Is absurd in my opinion. If you
will allow me to express It In that way.
Q. Certainly ; put It In any form you please. I
put the question.
MB. BXRBZrr'S QUESTIONS.
By Col. Berret : Q. I wish to ask a question.
You took that bond for 3,000? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Is it a dally occurrence that a bond for
(3,0001s taken for grand larceny t A. Oh, no;
that Is not a dally occurrence.
Q. Isn't It a very nnnsual occurrence T A. It
occurs, 1 shonld judge, in our court I do not
know ; I was going to say once a month I do not
know how often.
Q. Isn't It the theory of a court In taking a
bond tor a man charged with the high crime or
grand larceny to be certain that the parties be.
coming bondsmen will be responsible In tho event
ofthefallnreof the accused to appeart A. Oh,
certainly.
Q. When you took this bond, were you satisfied
that the party presenting himself there was Da
vid Edest A. Why, certainly.
Q. What pains did you take to Inform yourself
ofthat? A. I took his oath as regards his Iden
tity, and as regards his competency. Wo never
have been so strict in the taking or ball where
the party Is to appear Immediately berore our
court, as we are where we hold the parties finally
lurmegranajury.
Q. Is It customary to take snch bonds and al.
low toe snreiy to laenmy nimseit; to prove ms
own Identity? A That question, as I remember,
has never been raised. Yes, certainly, It Is the
cuium.
Q. You allow a man to eome forward and give
b-nd for a person and Identify himself? A That
question has never been raised berore since I hare
beu connected with the court.
Q. Isn't It the practice or the counsel or the
accused to present his bondsmen, and say that
here Is the party, responsible party, to become a
bendsmen In this esse? A Sometimes tboy do,
and sometimes they do not.
Q. Did you know Mr. Evans as the counsel or
Snyder? A I did. I knew that he was counsel
lnthe case.
O.. Did you ask him irtbatwas Mr. Edes? A I
dlo not, because I bad no shade of suspicion that
the man was swearing falsely as to his Identifica
tion. Q. How long have you lived In this city? A For
a little more than two years.
Q. Thensmeof Edes Is not familiar to yon In
a financial sense? A. Ob, no; but I have round It
Is very familiar to me ever since. The deputy
marshal saw the man who presented Edes, out he
had not seen him tor a long time, and he said he
was perlectly good.
Q. Who was tBe marshal? A Mr. Eckloff.who
Is an old resident here.
Q. Was he present? A Oh.yej, strthesawthe
man, bnt he was at work, 1 think, at bis books. 1
think he was, and he only took a cursory view of
the man.
By Mr. Heckle: Q.. What did he say? Did he
speak at the time? A I do not know whether he
spoke at the time, but 1 asked him about the
financial
CONDITION Or VB. EDES.
By Mr. Cook: O.. How did you say It? A I do
cot remember exactly my phraseology.
Q. Did you speak loud? A Ob, yes, sir; I
aked him about David Edes, ol Georgetown ir
he was all right financially, and be said he was.
Q The man was then present? A Yes. sir; 1
think he war. At any rate he was In the hall, if
he had not gone out of the building.
Q. Was that alter you took the bond you asked
that? A. I do not reeall whether It was after or
before. I took the bond after 1 made the Inquiry
of the marshal.
Q. Can you turn to the record In the case or
Edes?
While the witness was proceeding to do so Mr.
Nichols said: It has occurred to me that this wit
ness o ight to be Informed, if my understanding of
the matter Is correct It may not be tna. he Is
not required to answer questions with respect to
the practice, right or wrong, or the Police Court.
ir 1 am not mistaken In regard to the matter, I
think that ihe witness should have the benefit or
that Informal len, and exercise the privilege of an
swering or not, as he pleases; because the Pol'ce
Court Is not under lnvetlgatIon by us, and I be
lieve we have never tried to Investigate It. At
any rate. It Is not under Investigation In this con
nection. Witness. So far ss I sm personally concerned
1 have no objection to stating everything 1 know
connected with the Police Court.
Mr. Nichols, If It can throw any light upon
Ihe charge against Chiel Detective Clarvoe, of
course we are entitled to it, and tho witness must
give It under his oath ; but It seems to me he has
answered already In regard to matters which are
not calculated to throw any light upon the sub
ject before us.
Mr. Cook. I suggested In the outset, as you
observed, that the questions should be confined to
the charge as made, but I understood that the
commissioners gave Mr. Perry a range of latitude
to make any statement.
Mr. Nichols. The rente I understood we gave
Mr. Perry was that be should give his testimony
In a narrative lorm, but that It presumptively, at
leset. related to the charges and specifications,
and It teems to mo that it Is very proper In an
ISVESTlOATIOH Or THIS SOBT.
Mr. Cook. You will observe that this witness
requested or Inquired whether he could have the
same privilege that Mr. Perry had.
Colonel Berret. Be Invited it.
Mr. Nichols. It Is not his giving his testimony
In narrative lorm, but I think questions are being
asked him that he Is hardly called upon to answer
under his oatb. He has taken an oath to tell the
truth, the whole truth, and nothing butthetruto.
In relation to the charges and specifications In
this case, and while I hare no personal objection
whatever to this examination going on In the way
It has been, yet I feel, as a matteror justice, that
the witness ought to know that be need not an
swer certain question unless he chooses.
Mr. Cook. I concur with yo" fully, but It was
his own request, you remember.
Mr. Henkle. I want to say on behair or Mr.
Clsrvoe that 1 have Interposed no objections since
the suggestion I made in the beginning, that the
Inquiries shonld be confined to the subject-matter
ot this Investigation, but the commissioners
seemed to think they would take Mr. Perry's
narrative, which embraced hearsay conversation,
or Information, and we have nothing to conceal.
I am entirely willing, so far as Mr. Clarvoe is
concerned, that the Investigation should take just
whatever direction and just such an extent as the
commissioners desired. The most of what Is de
livered as testimony has nothing whatever to do
with the questions before the commissioners, as 1
understand It.
Witness. As far as I am concerned 1 have
nothing
TO CONCEAL OR EIVEAL,
whether on my oath or off or it.
Mr. Nichols. The witness need not disclose all
the sets or the Police Court unless he choses, as I
conceive.
Colonel Berret, I think It Is a very Important
fact that no one would be more swift to make
known than the head of that court himself the
manner In which bonds are taken for criminals, as
stated by the clerk of the court. It looks to me
as lilt wss lair subject or Inquiry In connection
with the case of Captain Clarvoe, who has been
with this clerk In connection with the man who
personated Edes. I asked the question myseirin
perfect good faltb, because I am satisfied that
what Captain Clarvoe desired, and what this
board desires, and what tho public expects.
Is that the Idlest, Ircest and most extended
examination Into all the facts connected with the
transaction that has brought discredit upon our
city here in the robbery of Mr. Perry's store and
the escape ol the man who notoriously committed
that ontrage. We are sitting here, aa I under
siand it, to try to elicit facts which will result
In bringing these men to trial and to punish
ment ir they are found guilty.
Mr. Nichols. My views and sentiment accord
precisely with those of Col. Berret, but It seems
to ix e that we are taking a liberty, and really
occupying a great deal of time In doing It, In In
uniting into the manner of aolng business In the
Police Court, unless It has something to do with
the charge and specification In this ease. As I
have already ssld, I have neither personal nor
official objections to the answers this gentleman
has given, or to any that be may give, only 1
thought Itwas fair for him to know that he need
net disclose the practice or the court unless he
chose to; unless such practice has some bearing
upon this charge.
Col. Berret, I will simply remind my colleague
that the witness himself asked the same latitude
to be accorded to him as has been extended to Mr.
Perry. He railed no objections to any Interroga
tory that was propounded either by
the ATiOR.-isrr on ktbelt.
Mr. Nichols. It seems he has no objection to
make, and I will Interpose no further obstacle.
Mr. Ceok. At all events, as far as I am con
certed, I am done with the witness.
By mr. Henkle:
U. I would like to ask you this question,
whether the taking of this particular bond was In
the usual course o! practice In your office or other
wise? A. It was In the usual course.
Q. I want to ask you this further question,
whether from your acquaintance with Mr. Evans ,
your opinion of Mm and confidence tn him were
snch as to make you think that he would not
practice sn Imposition upon you by personating a
person who was not the person who he represented
himself to be? A Certainly.
Q. You had entire faith la his professional
honesty and integrity? A I think he was de
ceived the same as I was.
U- And you have no reason to believe but what
he was doing just as you were? A None in the
worl.
Q. Hi. Clsrvoe said to yon when yon told him
you were there for the purpose or Identifying the
man who personated Edes that the matter or
Identification was a. delicate matter, and advised
you to be cautions? A Yes.slr.
Q. That was the extent or the suggestion that
Mr. Clarvoe made to yon? A. Yes, sir. I think
that was the tenor of It.
,l Now I want to know whether there was any.
thtnretelllnthe conduct cl Mr. Clarvoe at any
s'sgeor the proceeding that lod'eited that he
was actuated try any other than a proper and hon
orable motive as a public officer? A. Oh. no.
Mr. Clarvoe acted, 1 think, wholly upon my sug
geition. It was his own mind to bring the par.y
around to headquarters, and 1 preieotedmy rea
sons to him tor desiring that he should appear a .
my efflce instead or at his, as I have already
staled, and he finally thought it would be well.

William M. Evans, sworn:
By Mr. Cook:
Q. Mr. Evans. It turns ont that a man repre
senting himself byt.e name of Edes, who went
seenrlty In the Snyder case, wis not Edes, but
somebody else. Mr. Clarvoe Is charged with co
operating and conniving In getting one Green, of
Baltimore, to personate Mr. tiles. What, ir any
thing, do jou know in relation to Mr. Clarvoe's
conduct In that connection, whether rrom his acts
ur declarations? A. ldo not know or anything
in connection with Mr. Clarvoe about It at all.
So lar as I know, he knew nothing or It In any
manner, shape oi form. The only time that I
saw Mr. Clarvoe In relation to the matter was on
the 27th or August last, I think. 1 was sent tor
by the clerk or the court to come to the Police
Court. I went there, and after what Mr. Lslgb
ton has stated took place, Mr. Clarvoe came In
just as Mr. Lelghton was giving this man Oreen
a ticket, and Llghton, I think, said to Clarvoe:
"Billy, or Mr. Evacs, says this is not the man."
Clarvoe says: "How Is that, Billy?" I says:
"He does not look like the man to me, or ho Is
net such a looking man," or something to that
e fleet. I took the party to the Police Court who
went on the boed of Snyder. Mr. Clarvoe cor.
talnly knew nothing ol that, that Is so lar as I
knew. The time Green was herewith Lelghton
Is the only time I ever saw him In the matter, or
knew that he knew auythlng about It,
Q. At the Police Court, when you were pres
ent, did he say or do anything to prevent any
Identification or ureen as the party who had goae
the security? A. Certainly not. He said to me
afterwards that "he was In hopes they had the
right man.
By Mr. Nichols:
ti. Mr. Clarvoe said to you he was In hopes
they had the right man? A Yes, sir.
Q. At what time was that? A. That was after
Green had gone to Baltimore that nlzht, I sup
pcse;he said to me he was In hopes they had got
the rleht man.
Q. Using the past tense? A Yes, sir.
Mr. Cook. Confining tho examination to the
charge, 1 know or nothing else to ask this wit
ness. Mr. Nichols. As one ol the commissioners, 1
am more than willing that Mr. Evans should be
asked If he knows anything thatwonld be calcu
lated to connect Mr. Clarvoe with any of those
ereelfleatlons. You referred to the first and only
to the last? A. No, sir.
Mr. Nichols. Read the charges.
The charges and specifications were here read.
(1. What have you to say in regard to Mr. Clar
voe In connection with the first specification? A.
Mr. Clarvoe knew nothing of that matter, to the

nothing abont. It to my knowledge.

no communication with him, even In person or
through any one. In any manner, shape or form.
Q. What bsve you to say as to the third sped
flcatlon? A. Well, I was called to Identyry the

Clarvoe certainly could not state what I knew, I
trld the man to stand up, and I looked at him, I
was then asked tr I had ever seen him berore. I
stated I had not, to tbe best or my knowle lge and
belief. Mr. Clarvoe was not there at that time.

Mr. Clarvoe came in sometime after I was there.
I was asked whether I could Identify him or not,
and I said "no."

Police Court? A. 1 got home about 830, 1 think

went down to the Police Court, I suppose It was
abont 8'45 or 0.
Q. If 1 remember correctly, one of tbe witnesses

went cut. leaving him and Green In the Police
Ccurt. Did you see Mr. Clarvoe that evening

did not.

rrga'ded as reliable, that Detective Clarvoe was
in any way
COaiTECTSD TEATJDEXEJtTLY
with the release or Snyder, or the Tallure to Idea
tlfy Green? A. I have never heard a statement
that 1 put any reliance upon to that effect, and ir
a thousand should bo made I should say It was a
lie.

that kind made on which you could rely? A I
would not believe It If I heard it from a hundred
different sources.

A SHOBT TALK.
Mr. Henklr. Mr. Clsrvoe would like very
much to have Mr. Wilson examined bsfore the
court adjourns. '
Mr. Ceok. The deposition of Fllburn was taken
by agreement between Mr. Wilson and myself In
Baltimore, to be used in connection with the
Brown case, and It was read In the progress or
that trial.
Mr: Nichols. You know It was prepare 1 by
yourseirand Mr. Wilson.
Mr. Cook. Mr. Wilson stsked me 1( they should
procure it, whether I would consent to Its being
read. Instead ol bringing tbe witness here, staling
he would seed an officer over for the purpose ot
getting It Ifl would dn so. 1 consented to that
suggestion of Mr. Wilson's. Accordingly the
deposition was taken In Baltimore and brought
here, and used In the preliminary hearing or
Brown. That Is correct, I presume that is all
Mr. Wilson could say.
Mr. Henkle. Mr. Clarvoe wants to prove that
Mr. Wilson rent him to Baltimore; that he was
reluctant to go, and that Mr. Wilson Insisted on
bis going, and that he went at his request.
Mr. Cook. I presume the simple statement of
low fsct by Mr. Wilson wonld be sufficient.
Col. Berret, I think Mr. Clarvoe la entitled to
the benefit or bis testimony,
up there In the afternoon he got the official action.
At this point the board adjourned to meet to
morrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Friday's Proceedings.
Washisotox. D. C, Sept. 17, 1875.

By Mr. Cook: Q. Have you any additional
statement that you deem proper to make, espe-
Kiaii, iu bwuunuvu miu uj icie gamerea irom
Mr. Noland or any one else? A I do not know
that I have. I think I stated all I knew with
reference to Mr. Noland yesterday, which was
that I did not know that I had seen blm before
yesterday. His name had been mentioned to me
several times In connection with this matter, and
reported to me that he had reported how these
silks were to be divided; that they were In tbe
city. The silks that were not recovered, botng a
poitlon of the robbery rrom Mr. Perry's store,
were In the city, and that he had reported he was
to receive them, and how they were to be divided.
All that came to me merely as rumors and re
ports. By Col. Berret: Q. Did any one state to whom
he made tbls report? Did you learn that he made
that stalemect to any particular Individual or in
dividuals? A I think that he showed to Mr.
MeDevItt an order for a piece or silk. In writing,
and signed by Chss. Fisher.
Q. Any one clso to whom he made communica
tion ? A. Not that I can fix In my mind now, be
came I heard a great many rumors or what Unas.
1; lsker had said aLcut them among certain per
sons. Q, Said to any particular persons? A. Yes,
sir.
Q, To whom did Charles Fisher make sueh
statcmenia? A. in certain houses and among a
certain class or people.
Q. But the particular Individuals to whom?
A. i do not know tbe person's name; shecouldbo
produced, I presume.
Q. Do you know any one who was present when (
be nude that statement; tbe name or ay partic
ular Individual? A I think there were several
present,
Q, Their names, Ifyou please? A. It was In a
house kept by Miss Lizzie Snow, as reported to
me.
Q. Was anybody present except Miss Lizzie
Snow? A. So reported; I only know from what
I hear: It Is a mere report to me.
Q. Were the names of tbe parties present re
ported to you ? A. Yes, sir.
Q. Be good enough to state who they are? A.
The woman to whom- the conversation was ad
dressed Ido not know her name. 1 think she goes
bv tbe name of Maggie, bnt I vu told that Mlia
Lizzie Snow herselr was present, and heard a
part ol the conversation. A gentleman, whose
name I would prefer not to give unless It be nec
essary. Mr. Nichols. I do not think the witness ought
to be required to give the name unless It has
some bearing on the Inquiry we are making, and
then It occurs to me 1 know nothing about It,
except what I lnrer,' and from what Major Rich
ards has already stated and his manner, It ap
pears to me that he mky be Investigating this
matter and It may possibly appear with tflatln
vest'gatlon. Colonel Berret. The Major will please state
that. If sueh Is the ease.
"Witness. It Is simply becsusa Ido not desire to
expose the gentleman's name who happened to be
la the houseln that way.
Mr. Cook. It probably relates to another party
than Mr. Clarvoe entirely.
Witness. Entirely out of this matter. I sup
pose he happened in then casually. I do not
know how be was there, but it la not connected
with any ono Involved in this transaction, as I
know of.
Colonel .Berret. 1111 is not mvoivedJln this In
ilrv I think the Major should be Instructed to
ollow up that trial.
iv ltness. a axn uomg so to me nest 01 my aDiiity.
I find that the. witnesses, however, are very re
luctant to make disclosures.
-, . .
Q. It was placed In tbe hands of Judge Wilson,
It appears by his testimony of yesterday, on the
27th of August. A. Tbls, then, must have been
alter that; 1 told htm not to take any steps In rs-
5ard te the arrest or this man until he consulted
udge Wilson
By Mr. Henkle. Q. I just want to call atten
tion tothe fact testified to by Judge Wilson; It
was on tbe 27th ol August; Judge Wilson says ho
was employed by the Government, and I thought
ttat was tne day he .was arrested and the ball
Liken.
Q. Can you recall when" you first had reason to
suspect, or did suspect. Green being the person
whopersonatedEdes? A. I think Mr. McDevltt
first mentioned to me that It was a barber In Bal
timore; that he had some clue that It was a bar
ber: he came to me and desired mc to go over to
ztauimore anu mage me arrest, ne was so conn
dent. A day or two before that time this matter
had been placed In the hands of Judge Wilson to
prosecute, and lsald to McDevltt, "Don't you
take any steps until you advise with Judge Wil
son." Mr. Nichols. Ob, no, the bail was taken long
before that, on the 6th or August, but Judge
Wilson was requested by the Attorney General
of the United States to take charge of this ease
on that day that Mr. Lelgbton and Chief Detec
tive Clarvoe went over to Baltimore.
Mr. Henkle. That Is what I mean; and brought
this man baek on tbe evening following to Iden
tity him, and let blm return.
Witness. The ball was actually; taken on the
20th. Previous to that time. If my recollection
serves me right, he had an Intimation that this
was a barber In Baltimore. I think his name
had ben mentioned, in remember rightly, in re
gard to It. In ract there was not a day passed In
which this matter was not under discussion, and
efforts were being made to ascertain who the man
was who personated Edes.
Q. Can you recall whether It was berore Judge
Wilson was employed? You said a moment ago
yon thought It came Irom SleDerltt, and that you
directed film to consult with Judge Wilson. A
That was In regard t th.'s.
O.. Now, do you mean to say betora that that
you had had some Intimation that it was a barber
In Baltimore? A Yes, sir, we had.
Q. Do you recall who It was? A I cannot re
call who It was now, but 1 think It was only a day
or two afterwards that we got the first intimation
that It was a man from Baltimore a barber.
Q. Do you recollect having a conversation with
Clarvoe about It, and mentioning a bsxDer In Bal
timore? A. Yes, sir;. every day.
U- Did you mention a barber la Baltimore? A.
I do not know whether to Clarvoe or not, hut 1
think we did.
Q. And to McDevltt? A. He first mentioned It
tome.
Q. Did you not get your first Information rrom
MeDevItt? A. Most likely I did.
Q. Up to that time had you any conversation on
that subject as to the person who had filsoly per
sonated Edes, with Mr. Perry. Hid Mr. Perry
erlven vou anr Intimation? A Mr. Perrr iravo
me the first Intimation on tho 20th. Mr. Ferry
gavome no posltlvo Intimation until somo day
subsequent 1 think It was subsequent to my re
turn from New York on tho 27th.
Q. Before you got any positive Information
from Mr. Perry? A. It will not do for me to be
positive, because there were several matters that
came cp aooub mat urns; two er toreo visits
away, and I will have to refresh my memory be
fore 1 can slate positively In regard to that,
Q.. Can you undertake to state positively that
you had any lntlmatlondlrectedto this particular
Individual before your return from New York?
A. No, sir; not tbls particular one. Not the man
who was at No. 9 Market space, (1 think It was.)
In Baltimore. It was only a man rrom -Baltimore,
said to be a barber. It was general, u I
remember.
Q. And you think you had some Intimation be
rore you went to New York as to that fact? A
Oh, yes; I think so.
tl. And you think you got that rrom McDevltt?
A. I think so, first.
By Colonel Berret: Q. You are not certain you
ever communicated such Information to Detective
Clarvoe, are you? A I think I must have done
so. because I naturally would have done It, and
still In regard to that 1 would not be positive. I
think Mr. Clarvoe and I uave talked this matter
over every day since tne 20th up to this time.
That Is we have had conversations in regard to It.
By Mr. Nichols:
t. Why do you fix the 20th? A That Is the
day the ball was taken.
Q. I thought It was stated Just now It was on
the 6th of August. 1 have no recollection In re
gard to It, A. On, no; Snyder was balled out on
the 2otb. It was on the evening of the 23th or
August that Mr. Perry camo and gave ma the In
formation that Snyder was bailed out.
By Mr. Perry. O. After the return of Green
to Baltimore, as testified by tho policeman and
Mr. Evans after his return ; about that tlma
the next day, or within a day or to afterwards, I
showed you all of Major Frej's letters? A Yes,
sir. But you told me, if you remember, previous
to that that you had Information, but it was
confidential?
Mr. Perry. 1 told you so that It was only
confidential for a special purpose ; that you
should see the whole of It? Witness. Yes, and
that It was no resection upon me, or the force
here, that yen did keep It confidential?
Mr. Perry. Yes, sir; that Is true. I Just took
them out of my pooket and asked you to read
them over. A Yet,slr.
J. S. Noland, recalled.
By Mr. Cook. d. Try and help ns to find out
what yen do know about this matter. Did you
ever hear anything about ;tuo robbery of Mr.
Perry's store? A. Yes, sir; through tne papers.
Q. In any other mode ? A No, sir. I do not
think I did.
Q. Did vou ever converse with anybody about
tho robbery ot that store? A No, sir. I do not
think 1 did.
Q. Did you ever sccany silks that were stolen
out oi.inat storer A, no, air.
Q. Had you any conversation about silks that
were stolen ont of that store? A I do not know.
Q. Now, Just tell us all about It? A I knew
there was some silks stolen but notout of Mr.
Perry's store; It was out of Mr. Shuster store.
it. aiiu you ever uaio ij ui. wun unarue
Fisher on the subject? A. Yes, sir. Mr. Fisher
bought a silk dress, but it was a long; while after
the robbery, ont of Shuster's store,
Q. Did you have any talk with him or any ond
else, or hear them talk as to tho mode In which
the silks were taken from Mr. Perry's Itere, and
Colonel Berret. Wedonot.wairfto expose the
frailties of our fellows unnecessarily.
Witness. I will state It has no connection with
any parties concerned here. It refers simply to
Charles Fisher's talk. I have not heard that Mr.
Evans' name was even mentioned In that connec
nectlonaf that time. Mr. Clarvoe's, either.
Mr.Honkle. Ido not think that this case should
be brought Into an Investigation or this kind, and
rumors given against a person, except when he Is
on trial and has an opportunity to meet them,
Mr. Nichols. I quite agree with you. General.
Colonel Berret, I suppose tbe General meant to
connect this In some lorm with the Inquiry we
have now on loot, and arrStr. Noland seemed to
be a knowing witness unCll examined, whenlt was
found that he knew nothing.
Mr. Cook. After all, Mr.Noland's information,
11 1 understand It correctly, or knowledge, relates
more Immediately to the robbery than to the
charge befote the commission.
Witness. And to the alleged division or the
silks that havo not been recovered, 1 know noth
ing about his credibility or mania for knowing a
great deal and yet knowing nothings
Colonel Berret, And all this matter connected
with what ha been stated In regard to Mr.Ftsher
and Mr. Noland Is underyour consideration now
In your official custody, and, therefore, ought to
be kept secret?
Witness. Yes, sir.
By Mr. Nichols: Q. Major, have any of the
rnmors of Mr. Nolanu's knowledge related to the
charge and specifications that we are Interested
In, or upon wnlch we are trying Mr. Clarvoe?
You stated Just now that they related mainly to
the division ol the spoils. A. Well, perhaps re
motely. By Sir. Cock: Q. Ifyoucanstateanythlnghy
which we can 1 ut a more specific question to Mr.
Noland than we bare done relating to this charge,
why we should be glad to know It? A. Ido not
think 1 wonld be able to do so, the rumors so re
motely connect Mr. Clarvoe with It, It was re
ported In the first place that the division or these
unrecovered silks was to take place, and whether
this rnmor eome rrom Noland or Fisher I cannot
say positively, hut the first rumor I heard was
that the silks were In the city. They were to be
divided between Charles Fisher and Mr. Evans,
and that either Fisher or Evans were to divide
with the detectives ; whether detectives ot Wash
In Ion or Baltimore 1 do not know.
By Mr. Henkle : Q. You do not know whether
that was chief detective or superintendent?
Witness. The superintendent I do not suppose
was referred to. He Is not spoken or as a detec
tive, otherwise I might have taken It ror myself,
but whether It reters to Washington detectives
or Baltimore detectives I cannot say.
Mr. Henkle. I meant no disrespect to you.
Major Richards. I only meant by that that while
It la very proper for a gentleman In the position
or Major Richards, having the police supervision
ofthe District, to regard rumors and trace them
up, but that when It comes to any Investigation
ludlcial in Its character. It seems to me that
rumers are not a proper foundation for
action, nor even for inquiry, until they
have been reduced to some definite shape. Courts
or Justice, aiter great experience, have settled
upon these rules, and I think In all bodies that
Investigate facts tbe rules adopted by the courts
for the taking or testimony will be fonnd to be
the only sale ones. That utterly excludes all
sorts or rumors. Now, I have heard rumors
against many gentlemen as to whom I have not
the slightest suspicion In the world. I have heard
rnmora against the President or the United
States, Senators In Congress, heads or Depart
mentssome or them may have been true but
many or them, 1 have no doubt, were false. Cer
tainly it will not do to try men's reputations on
Idle rumors, nor onght they be spoken or In an
"ivestlgation which assumes In any phase ol It a
Jut'iclal character.
Witness. I think I may state that a great many
rumors have been rile In the community claiming
to be based upon statements made by Chart s
Fisher. If there Is any truth In rumors, he has
madea great many statements and talked a great
deal about this matter.
Q. Allowmetoask whether any of these rumors
came dlrectlv or Indirectly rrom Mr. Clarvoe, or
connected Mm with It? A. Not that I know of.
O.. Or Mr. Evans? A No, sir. None ol these
rumors are connected with those Involved In the
hailing or Snyder. They refer simply, as I said
before, to the division or unrecovered silks.
By Mr Nichols: Q. Mr. Fisher was connected
with the balling? A. Yes, by his nolo. He Is the
only one.
Colonel Berret, Wo have no right to try Mr.
Fisher.
Mr. Henkle. I want to ask Major Richards a
question in that connection at the suggestion or
Mr. Evans, who seems to have been drawn Into
this matter. Mr. Evans wants to know whether
Mr. Fisher didn't come here to these headquar.
ters and deny that he hail made any such state
ments as have been attributed to htm? A Yes,
sir, he did positively deny the statements that had
been attributed to him by Mr. Nichols.
Q. Did you givo Chief Detcctivo Clarvoe any
Instructions relative to the arrest or Green berore
his first arrest on August27? I understand
that to bo the tlmo of the first arrest.
Witness. The 27th of August Is the tlmo he was
brought over here for Identification.
Mr. Nichols. Yes, sir.
A. Yes, sir; and all tho detectives, every ono of
them.
tl. In reference to this particular man? A. Tho
first point to be ascertained was whether this man
could be Identified; to ascertain who he was. That
was the first Instruction I gave to him after It be,
came pretty thoroughly established that this man
was not Edes. So tar as that Is concerned, I told
JlrJMcDevftt that very night when I met him,
and we became satisfied that there was something
wrong about that, I said, "Mr. MeDevItt, don't
you leave any stono unturned, attend to no other
business until you establish the fact whether or
not Mr. Edes has been fraudulently Identified."
Q. Did ion or did you not have any suspicion
that the person personating Edes was this Mr.
Green, until you returned from New Y'ork ? A.
Ob, yes, sir; it had been mentioned, but nothing
certain. I met Mr. Clarvoe that very night, a
very few minutes after leaving the office. I met
him on Pennsylvania avenue, near the Metropoli
tan hotel, and stated to htm there that Snyder
had been released, and that we mnst endeavor to
find out whether It was the genuine release or not.
Our suspicions werearouseu at once, for somo rea
son. I hardly know why, but there was some
thing wrong about it, Mr. Clarvoe said: "Cer
tainly, I will go to work and try to ascertain that
fact "
wr re tn he divided up? A. Well, I have beard
gome talk one way or the other. Ido not see why
tkey mould think 1 had anything to do with It,
except my Intimacy with Mr. Fisher.
Q. Nobody charges you with having anything
to do with it. only with having learned soma
facts that may be useful to the community that
Is all? A Mr. MeDevItt came to me twoor
three times, and wanted to know all about It. I
'thought when he first came to me that ba was
.loklntrwlthme, and on one ocIon I told htm
t at I knew all about It, and Intended to get
something out of It, but It was merely a Joke. 1
had not any more Idea If there was anything In
It I did not know anything about It any mora
thau anybody else.
Q. Did ycu know anything about the silks going
to be divided? A No. sir.
Q. Not or your own knowledge, but statements
ol any parties Immediately connected with this
ball? A. I heard Mr. Fisher say on two or
three occasions that some silks were to be di
vided, but I never took much notice of whathe
said.
Q. Just tell us as nearly as you can what was
said? A I just heard he was to get some silks.
Q. Whom did you hear It from? A. Charles
Fisher.
Q. What did Charley say? A I cannot eall
to my memory lust now. I did not take notice of
what he said. I did not take much stock In It In
fact.
Q. Didn't take much stock in Charley? A Iu
his statements.
Q. Think a moment? A. 1 should judge that
If he should get any of the silks he wasn't going
to paylor them.
Q. What did be say aNrat these silks; was he
to get any part of them according to his state
ments to you? A. I do not know. 1 think he
said something like that, as though he was going
get some ofthem,
Q. Just tell us what It was; we want It all. A.
I do not know; It was so long ago. As I said be
fore, 1 did not notice much what he said.
CI. Recall It to your recollection; take time to
think. A. I understood he was going to get some
silks. That Is all I know about it.
Q. Did he say how much, or what kind? A. He
said tl.400 worth at one time, $300 at another
and aj coo at another time.
Q. Did he tell you what he was going to do
with It? A. No, sir, I do not think he did.
Q. Can you tell where this conversation with
him took place? A No. sir, I do not know; It was
when we were together at some place.
Ci- You need not tell where you were, of course,
ir jou do not want to. When was this conversa
tion fix It ss near as you can? A I have not the
slightest Idea In the world.
O. Was It berore the Hinds trial or afterwards?
A I think It was afterwards. I do not know that,
even. I should Judge It would be afterwards.
Q. Was It In the month of June? A. I could
not say that.
Q. Month of July? A. Indeed I could not tell
at all exactly what time.
Q. I know it Is very difficult to place anything
exactly. Fix It as near as you cin? A I suppose
It was In July or August; August I should judge.
