Philadelphia, Pa.. October 30. At
the trial of Phelp's to-day Judge Da
vis again took thj seat. At two of the
clock Phelp was present. A lady at
tracted much attention and some de
lay being paused Mr. Dell fi,r the pros
ecution asked if the delay was not of
their seeking and said if he be per
mitted he -$'óu!d call Payne as a, witness,-
The ccurtSouscuted and Payne
testified. Many letters and envelopes
were in wait ingas that of the edito
rial published in Truth. The edito
rial it was admitted was written by
Phelp. The detense railed Andrew
McLean, the manager of the Brooklyn
Eagle and who had known Phelps for
twelve years and knew his haudwrit
iug well as during those twelve vear-
they had worked in the same office.
He said he had seen him write almost
daily. I now see for the first time the
original More y letter and envelope
and from my knowledge "f Phelps
writing have no doubt whatever that
it is not in the handwriting of Phelp.
lie has not been in the habit of spell
ing company in the way it is here. I
have cd;ted nearly 1,000 columns of
Phelp's matter and have never known
lii in to spoil such words in that way.
I have been editor of the Eagle for
eight years and during the time Jas.
McDerinatt was never on the paper.
I knew his reputation and would not
believe him", under oath if there was
any temptation for him to testify.
Joe Goodin of the Eagle stall' was en
gaged with Phelp in dramatic work
and said: lam positive the Murray
letter is not Phelp's writing. I never
knew him to spell words ending in
"ies," and "ys" as companies is spel
led. Jas McDe.matt's character for
veracity is not good. F. Hudson, of
the Eagle, gave similar testimony, i.
Harvey, a graduate of Oxford Uni
versity, England, and for fourteen
years associated with Mr. Thelp said
the Murray letter and envelope were
not in Phelp's writing, lie said he
knew James McDcrniitt and would
not believe him under oath if he had
a dollar's interest either way.
Several proof readers and city edi
tors of the Brooklyn Eagle testified
that the Murray letter was not in the
writing ot Phelp. Two workmen
testified that they knew of an organi
zation known as the employers' un
ion or something like that but knew
little or nothing about it. The de
fense attempted to show by witnesses
that Gen. Garfield's vouchers for pay
in Washington were in the same
hand as the Murray letter. The testi
mony of W. C. Co' ton was first ruled
out but finally received when it should
be shown that it contradicted Galor's
testimony. Oolton showed envelopes
wlikh he had received and with
stamps on in spite of Gaylor's claim
that such letters were not so stamped.
The prosecution claimed that this ev
idence contradicted uothing because
Gaylor's testimony only related to
letter from Washington to the east.
Xew York, -Oct, 30. IJaniiun'
committee has telegraphed to many
newspapers in California and else
where, an affidavit signed by Joseph
Hart, with a letter of Marshall Jew
ell to Garfield, for the purpose of
charging Jewell with al tempting by
bribery to suppress proofs of the gen
uineness of the Morey letter. Jewell
being interviewed denounces the affi
davit as i tissue of falsehoods and
says his IeMer to Garfield, which w as
perfectly proper in itself, was secured
bv Hart through arrant trickery, for
fraudulent purposes, through the be
trayal of confidence on the part of
Hart's attorney, Juilgo Dil ten holler,
who was an active German Republic
an, and the first speaker to take the
Btuinp in this campaign, under tha
auspices of the National Committee,
and enjoyed the fu lest confidence of
Jewell. He had been attorney lor
the Truth newspaper since its organi
zation, and as such attorney desired
to arrange an interview between Mr.
Jewell and Hart. Hart and hi- asso
ciates while professing to the public
to believe the Chinese letter was gen
uine, were in fact convinced to the
contrary, and that it was forgery, and
had proposed to make a retraction of
t he charges already published. Jew
ell, believing that such retraction by
the paper, (one of whose editors had
forged the letter) would be its most
effective denial, met Hart as request
ed, at DittenliotTer's ollice, Tuesday
evening, and stated to them that
nothing but an unqualified retraction
would be satisfactory. Hart endeav
ored to secure Jewell's promise, ac
companied by a letter to Gen. Gar
field that this retraction by the paper
would secure the abandonment of
proceedings against Phlips, the forg
er of the Morey letter. Jewell flatly
refused this and said he should be
punished to the full extent of the law.
Hart then offered to publish a letrac
tion on condition that Dil teuhoffer
should have the benefit of securing
the same, if any was to be derived
by anybody. To this Jewell had no
objection and at the earnest request of
Dittenhofiur and Hurt wrote the let
ter to Garfield and gave it inloDitt
eiihoiler's possession. How Hurt sub
sequently obtained it for publiea'ion
Dittcuhoffer is expected to explain to
night. It is now apparent that Hurt's
purpose in seeking the interview was
to secure from Jewell through Ditl
enhollcr a letter which should com
promise both Jewell and Garfield and
which he would publish as 'in offer of
bribery. The cautious phraseology of
the letter however excludes that
interpretation of it and its
publication here has fallen Hat. No
proposition looking to the abandon
ment of Phillips' prosecution has been
entertained for u moment.
Mentoi, Ohio, Oct. 30. Gen. Gar
field in making a speech to-day, quot
ed from a book he had read long ago,
in which it was said: ''Man is the
only animal that makes tools for his
owu use;" and discoursed on the
progress of mankind from past ages
to the present, and said : Tools are an
index of civilization. He alluded to
the question oí protection thus: 1
have never thought it was a suiliceul
reason for asking the legislature ot
the nation to make laws merely to let
one class ofcitizens make more money,
but the industry of which any of our
citizens are engaged is one that the
whole nation needs for its defence
and for the growth and development
of its people. Then every man so em
plopcd is doing a great and patriotic
work which the government should
piotcet and defend for the good of
all. On that large national ground
every blow you" strike is one in de
fence of the independence of your
country and the well being of all its
people.
To the Wayne and Ashland county
Glee Clubs and band, he made a iims
sical and happy speech. This, s.ud'he,
is my day of judgment ; in a few days
it will be the day of judgment for all
the people, and whatever that judg
ment shall be, like good citizens, we
will all bow to it and do whatever
duty comes to us.
One hundred men from the líritton
iron and steel works, of Cleveland,
next appeared. A delegation of in
fantry and cavalry then began to ar
rive, and undaunted by the rain
which fell steadily, aboutjone hundred
guards formed into two columns in
the meadow opposite t he house and
Gen. Garfield, in a carriage, received
them. There was great mthusinsin.
New York, Oct. 30.-Judge Ditten
hoffer confirms Jewell's statement in
all points. Hu says he went to ti.e
Truth ollice on Monday, being sum
moned by telegraph. Hart there told
him he had doubts about the-Morey
letter, and asked to see Jewell about
it.
The .hula o thought they wanted
him to act as a mediator in case of
trouble with 1 Ins author! ties. He saw
Jewell who wanted the Truth to
make a retraction, but on calling on
Hart again he (Hart) had determined
not to seek am thing in mediation.
Hart again sent for him and said he
va now convinced that :he letter
was a forgery, and wauled him to si e
Jewell again. On communicating
with Jewell he wrote the letter u Inch
has now been published. No offer e,r
consideration was mentioned be
tween us. Judge D. showed the let
icr to Hart and says he erred in doing
so, and never thought of them acting
treacherously about it. Hart said he
would not publish the letter if they
would stup the prosecution of Philp.
This Judge 1). declined to accede to,
hence the publication.
Washington, Oct. 30. A dispatch
was received at Geu. Deven' office in
this city to-day from ihe California
state democratic committee saying:
" Ca'ifornia safe for Hancock how is
New York?'' A cheering response
was sent.
On the other hand a dispatch to
this eveniug's Star from its conserva
tive correspondent in New York City
says :
' The leading democrats here ad
mit that the state will go republican
by perhaps a larger majority than
Platte's estimate of 30,000."
The Star's correspondent also tele
graphs :
"The pool rooms are active; the
best bets that can be obtained on the
general result of the presidential elec
tion, are 300 on Hancotk to 1,000 on
Garfield."
New York, Oct, 30. Judge Dilten
hoffer says lie was counsel for the
Truth because of a Ion standing
friendship with Louis F. Post, who
has been assistant district attorney,
but was now managing editor of the
Truth, when he sow the Chiuese let
ter he tried to persuade Post not, to
publish it because be thought it was
a forgery. Hrrt told him twice that
it was a fraud, and that the leading
democrats" were beginning to go back
on it.
They were get ting frightened nuil
wanted it set'.led. 1 went to Jewell
and told him substantially what they
siiid. Jewell then wrote the letter
which has been published and said:
" You may show them this letter "
Omaha. -t. 30. The trial of C. K.
Allen, a former Union PacilieExpress
agent, at Sidney, resulted in his ac
quittal. It will be remembered that
some mouths ago $122,000 of gold
bullion and a small amount of cur
rency was ieceived from the Iilaek
Hills, en route east, and disappeared
In.'iii his ollice while he was at dinner
and that after a considerable search it
was found hid in a coal pile under the
ollice, with the exception of one brick
and the currency, amounting to $12,
000. The evidence against Allen was
very strong, but not slrong enough to
satisfy the jury, who were out about
eighteen hours before coming to an
agreement of not guilty.
