THE LOST LETTERS

Still Being Discussed by the Senators Who Cannot Understand Why They Disappeared And Were Not Printed with the Testimony. SENATOR HOAR'S REASONS Is That They Are Purely Private Communications Though He Showed Them to the Committee. They Were Certainly Damaging to Judge Woods Case Ajifl That la Generally Regarded as the True Explanation of Their Piappearance All the Members of the Judiciary Make Statements Regarding the letters Senator George Iilnt Ask for T'.iem Because lie "Was Already Convinced of Judge "Woods Unfitness for Promotion. BrBEATT of The Sentinel, 1420 New York-vvk.. N". W.. V Washington, D. C, March 27. 1 The action of the eenate committee on judiciary in omitting frotn the pamphlet containing the evidence in the Woods ca-e the formal defenses prepare! for th committee has attracted a good deal of attention here. It is understood that Judge Woods, in od of his communications to Senator Hoar, as chairman of the committee, actually admitted that he himself drew up an indictment, caused it to be returned into his court, passed upon its euficieucy and presided over the trial af the defendants, some of whom were convicted and sent to the penitentiary. Not only this, but. it is said, Judge Woods insists, in black :acd white, that there was nothing wrong in .this conduct, and shows that he is unable to distinguish between the functions of a judge, and those of a prosecutor. It is not thought trange that the senators who reported hit -nomination favorably after reading these communications have taken pains that the country hould uot see them. Hut the suppression of fhetn will probably lea 1 to a public investigation of the Woods-Dudley scandal by the house. An Indiana mere br will move such aa investigation this week, and it will no doubt be urdf re 1. The SENTINEL correspondent raade an tf!ort tonight to see every rnembcr of tue sentit committee on judiciary in order to ascertain, ü possible, whether Ju iu'e Woods' two statements in tnswer to the charts made against liira hat been laid before that cominittee or 'whether any member of th committee (with ihe exception oi Senator Hoar, to whom the i!t'cmDt wer sent by Judge Woods ) had een the documents in question. Senator lloar'a l.valiont. Senator Hoar, the chairman of the committee, was first seen and was asked whether he ibid received any communications from Judge 'Woods in answer to the charges made against liirn. and if so, whether the statements were Jaid before the committee formally or before individual members thereof. "Well, tl oe are things members of the comrn'tt on judiciary do not care to discuss," aaid the Massachusetts senator. "Ye senator, but the injunction of secrecy "2iaa bren removed by action of the senate, aa I understand it," said the correspondent. "On some things, but not on all," said Mr. Hoar. "I made the motion myself to remove the injunction of secrecy, orally, and it included the testimony adduced from the witnesses brought before the committee as well as eert.ain exhibits that had already been printed. The senate also agreed to give to the public the vote by which Jud.ce Woods was confirmed. I should think, though, that an intelligent paper 3ikeTnE f.ntinki. would know without asking that if Judge Woods bad sent on any statements in his own defence they would certainly be lai l before the committee which was to pass judgment on the merits of bis nomination." Yes,'' said the correspondent, "that would f eour-e be the natural presumption, but The Sentinel has some ground for making this inquiry because Juige Woods' two statement", which are known to have keen sent by him, io not appear in the printed volume of testimony taken before by the committee, while other exhibits do 'appear.' And further, it is tiaderstood that some ot the minority members cf the judiciary committee declare that they rver saw any such statements made by Judge AVoo.K" a;d Mr. Hoar: "Well, of course I can't speak for every member of the committee. I can not even say from my own kaowldge whether the statements were laid before the committee. Without knowing certainly vrLether they were or not, I should presume that they were, as Senator Wilson of Iowa, who was at the heal tf the judiciary committee during my sickness, end who bad charge of the Woods matter, is a -very painstaking and conscientious man, and loes not often neglect even matters of trilling Importance with which he has to deal. I was laid up for six weeks with my eyes, and the communications that I received bearing on the case were handed by me to, the clerk of the committee, who called at my house to get them, and 1 presume that they were handed by h m to the proper person on the eommittee. I received some communications from Jude Woods and also some ether personal letters concerning the nomination." "But can you say to Tl!E Sentisel why these statements from Judce WooJs were not included in the volume of printed testimony adduced by the committee?" Before answerin? this question Senator Hoar thought for a moment. "Well, you must understand." aaii he, "that not ail of the documents bearing on a case where charges have leeo preferred against an appointee are to be Aiven to the pub ic I guess I have about a barrel of personal letters that have been addressed to me concerning federal appointments, but they have never been published. As I said before. I did not take an active part in the committee work on the Woods case. Senator Wilson would be able to tell jou more f the details than I could." "Are you at liberty to (rive the contents of those commanatiorjs frem Judze Woods which you reeeired from hiaa?" "No. sir." said he. "1 eoold not." Senator II )ar positively declined to disclose the character of Judg! Woods' commnnicationa. and branched otf into a discussion of the political bearing of the Woods atlair in the Indiana campaign, declaring it to be his opinion that no votes would be influenced either way on account of the matter. Senator Piatt Discloses Nothing. Senator Piatt was next visited at his apartments at the Arlington hotel. "Senator, The Indianapolis Semtinel would like to know whether the statements made by Jndz Wood in bis defense and in answer to thetcharpee made against him were forcedly laid b-tfore the senate judiciary com TOitu e, or, if not, whether any individual memvers of the committee saw those documents." "I don't know that I cat) diseuss this matter," said Mr. Plait. The understanding is that the injunction of secrecy is removed. Senator Jfoar acknowledges this and also acknowledges having fiiinded the statements from Judge Woods to the clerk of the committee, but whether they were laid before the committee or not he can not say certainly, aa he was absent from the ommittee meetings most of the time," said the correspondent. "Well, I can only ay that saw the statements," said .Mr. 1'iatt. "lean not speak for ethers. My impression is. however, that all of the members saw th im or could Lave done so bad tu er desired, i asked the clerk of the

committee for the statements and he produced them. Other members could have done the same." "But why were they not printed in the volume of evidence?" "Simply because it is not the custom to print communications of that character which are in answer to charges made against au appointee." "Then the communications were personal ia their character?" "tuen communications have always been considered of a private nature," said he. "Can you tell me whether, in his statements. Judge Woods acknowledged having drawn up indictment, or assisted therein, in the so-called 'tally-sheet' cases?" "1 would not be at liberty to disclose any thing of that kind," said he. "I guess Senator Hoar will think I have already said too much." Srnnlor Tl!r Stw Thn. Senator Teller of Colorado was next seen, and in answer to The entinel correspondent's questions, said: "Yes, I saw two statements from Judge Woods in addition to the 'letter to the public' and his answer to Senator McDonald. The two statements were on the table in the judiciary committee room during our meetings, and. I presume, ould have been seen by any member of the committee. My impression is that they were read to the cominittee, but I am not quite certain on this point." "But why were they not published along with the other testimony and exhibits?" "I do not know why," said he. "Senators Hoar and Piatt think that they were of a private nature." suggested the corre spondent. "Well, I did not regard them so and do not see why they should not have been printed," said Senator Teller. S'lintor Vest 8aw Them. Senator Vest, a democratic member of the committee, was next seen. 'Senator, do you know whether Judge Woods' statements in answer to charges against him were laid before the committee on judiciary of the senate?" "Why. yes," said be, "I think I remember reading the statements." "But do you remember whether or not they were the ones made 'to the public.' and in answer to Senator McDonald, respectively?" "I remember seeing the documents you speak of (the "letter to the public" and the one in answer to Senator McDonald), and my impression is that there were two others. I am pretty sure of it." "In these latter statements, or in either one of them, did Judge Woods acknowledge that he prepared or assisted in preparing a certain ind etoient in election cases?" "V hy, ye. I remember now that he did so acknowledge it and attempted to justify his course." "H as it the indictment in the 'tally-sheet' cases which Judge Woods acknowledged having prepared or assisted in preparing?" "Why, yes," 6id Mr. Vest, meditatively. "My impression is that was the ca... But you can get a Copy of the statements at the judiciary committee room." "No," said The Sentinel correspondent "They were not included in the volume of printed testimony, and some of the republican members of the judiciary committee hold that they were of a private nature and should not be riven publicity." "Well, i thiak they should have been printed," said Mr. Vest t n to Pujh. Senator Pugh of Alabama was next seen and the same question was put to him. He said: "Why, yes, 1 remember seeing Jude Woods' statements. They have been printed and distributed along with the other evidence iu the case." "No, senator," said The Sentinel correspondent, "only the letter in reply to Senator McDonald and the 'letter to the public' are rintcd in that volume of testimony. There were two other statements sent on by Judze

Woods, in which he acknowledged that he assisted in preparing j.n tally sheet cases, whicii he indictment in the afterward tried as judge." "Well, then I don't know anything about them. Every syllable of the testimony that I beard or statements tb&t I saw has been printed in that volume, every t-yilable. There has been nothing suppressed as fur as I know. I know of no evi.Jeuoe other than that which baa been printed," "Don't you thick that all the evidence in the case should be printed?" "Yes, certainly; it has been." said he. "But Senator Hoar," continued tbe correspondent, "acknowledges that he considers certain parts of the testimony of a private character, and that for that leason it was not printed." "That I know nothing about," said Senator Pugh. Senator Mitchell Saw Them. Senator Mitchell of Oregon remembered seeing the statements in question, and thought that ail of the members had seen them, as they certainly had an opportunity to do so. He did not care to discuss the matter as to why they had not been printed, lie supposed, though, that Senator Hoar had good and sufficient reasons. Perhaps he regarded them as peisonal communications. Thought Wood a Usee!. Senator George of Mississippi said: "That is executive business and I ought not to talk about it." "But has not the injunction of secrecy been removed':'" "It has on some of the papers, etc. It was agreed to trive out the testimony as printed in that pamphlet. Of course, if there was any evidence that was not printed it would not be included in that to be given publicly under the senate's resolution." "But Senator Hoar and others of the judiciary committee talk freely about it." "Well, but I can't. I'm an old-fashioned fellow. I made up my mind that Jndge Woods was a big rascal by reeding the testimony of the witnesses together with his charges to the jury. That settled it with me. I don't remember about any statements. I would rather not talk about it. I'm old-fashioned." tor Wtifton KvnniTe. Senator Wilson was sufiering from loss of memory. He ai'ected not to understand the questions propounded. "Why, of course, everything that bad a bearing on the case one way or another was submitted to the committee," sai l he; "you will find it all printed in a phamph'et." "But were there not one or two statements from Jt:dge Woods in answer to the charges made against him that were not printe-i?" "I doit't remember about that. Ask Senator Hoar." Sonator Coke Snvr ). Senator Coke of Texas sai l that he remem bered seeing statements from Mr. Woods. He remembered seeing one at least. It was in writing and was in addition to the McDonald letter and the one "to the public." My recollection agrees with Senator Vest's," said he, when Mr. Vest's interview was related to him. ' liut why were not these statements printed with the rest?" " b, I suppose it was some little oversight," said he. "Don't you think it was because Judge Woods' statements were more damaging than beneficial to his own defense?" "Ob." said Mr. Coke, "the evidence was damaging enough without that." "If you had received the statements from Jndge Woods that Senator Hoar did wouldn't you have considered it the proper thing to print them?" "I don't want to be interrogated in a way that would raise an issue between the chairman and myself," said Senator Coke. The natural conclusion to be formed from the above interviews is that the statements of W ooda were on hand in the committee room and could have been seen by any member who asked to see tbem, but where the request was not made the Statement were not shown, aa benator iloar and perhaps others of the majority on the committee considered the statements by Woods more damaging to that gent emen than beneficial. It would appear that Senator Hoar took this view of the matter and therefore suppressed their publication. AT A FUNERAL A Drunken Son Attacks the Minister and Brandishes a Knife. Ashland, Wis., March 27. There were sensational scenes yesterday afternoon at the funeral of Mrs. Lang, who committed suicide Friday by Hanging. Her son arrived in the morning from Minneapolis and got gloriously drunk. He went to the coror.er's office, and over tbe dead body accused her husband, Iiis stepfather, of having driven deceased to suicide, saying: "I'll have your heart's blood." He was held before he eoold attack his father with a knife. The funeral was to be held in the afternoon at the residence. The son came there drunk, drove ott the minister and demanded a priest, n the confusion that followed the body was driven to the cemetery at a break-neck speed, followed by the son. Frank Allay is the name of the soa. The a Pair created great excitement.

WHEAT GOES DOWN.

The Day's Market Hreaks the Record and Reaches a Low Figure. INDIANAPOLIS, IND.. Monday Eveiko, March 23. f L. W. Louis & Co.' Chicago advices today were as follows: "Receipts of wheat are again very large, cable! reporting all foreign markets. Clearances were very light and the weather conditions are favorable for the growing crop, surely a very discouraging picture for holders of wheat. Our market opened fully lc lower than Saturday's close and at times was quite strong, owing to some liberal buying by strong parties, and reported fair demand for export; later on the market became heavy, declined, closing atfullf 1?4C lower than Saturday's final figures. The depression in wheat was unfavorable to holders ot corn. Atonet:nie the market was strong; indications bid fair for better prices, but later the market dropped, closing without much vim at about the lowest point of the day. "Hog product was strong and higher. Speculators seemed to favor the bull side, but statistics were not favorable. We notice that the weekly exports were fully three million pounds less than one year ago. Shipments from Chicago were also very much lighter. There were not so many hogs as estimated, but chances are 1 that the light receipts are caused in a measure by the rains and storms in the West, which prevented loading last Saturday. Our advices from Iowa are that the balance of the week the farmers' deliveries will be large and receipts at the packing points most liberal. Should this prove true holders have not much before tbem to encourage higher prices. We think the price of farm produce is closely allied to silver, and to the unusual decline In that metal is due in a measure the depression in cotton, grain and other farm products." Wheat and oats were weak today with no milliug demand. Corn was dull at fairly steady prices while oats were quiet and steady.

Today broke the record for low prices in the wbeat pit. The ligures for May, the ruling option, crashed down to 7'.. A year ago this time a bushel for the same delivery was several cents above a dollar. '1 he demoralization produced one failure, that of C P. Doerr it Co., wbo were on the wrong of the market with half a million bushels in their hands. Hat foreign markets and an unusual grist of bearish news on this side of the water was what brought on the tig slump. A genuinely panick'y leeline prevailed at the opening and the price quickly fell lo from the lowest touched Saturday. Had the news been made to order for the bears it could not have suited their purooces better. The weak opening cables, the decline in domestic market, the remarkably favorable weather shown everywhere and the ant'eipated heavy increase in the visible seemed combined to discourage. Selling was general and persistent. Exhausted margins and stop loss orders cut a considerable figure. Poole, Sherman, Putton Bros., Baldwinf arnum, Logan arid Miluiine-Bodtnau were ail free sellers, with the demand sluggish and conlined chiefly to the covering by shorts. The Indian shipments last week were reported at bushels against5oO,(K4) bushels the week previous, and all foreign markets were said to te on the down grade. For a time it seemed to be a neck and neck race to see who could get rid of the most wheat. May opened at 7'Ji (j,0c, but the selling pressure was enormous, and in less than three minutes it bad touched TJUc. But indications from the reports as to the visible were that the increase would not be as muoh aa expected, aud some began to doubt if there would indeed be any. The market quickly showed a disposition to recover. Shorts began to buy, the selling became less vigorous, and when it found that Pardridge was not putting out any shorts, the market turned. May selling back to 75', broke again to 79,4c, theu improved a trifle and at 12 o'clock was about 71 ic During the last hour the market developed greater weakness on very heavy cables and selling out of the long wheat held for Doerr & Co., whose failure was announced and there was a gradual decline to 79c, the final figures Pardridge is represented as having said today that he did not propose to sell wheat short of oOc. Winard in Kennett's gossip, says: Wheat ought to be worth 0c,at least until the government report ia published. If that shows the crop is in good condition it will probably sell at 75c. Corn sh3wed a good deal of strength in the face of the big decline in wheat. Tbe Cudahys were not buying so openly but a good many commission houses had liberal orders which were thought te be for the bull clique. Cudahy sold son: on the bulge. May opened at 3'j;sc, sold at 'iOc, split, then started up and sold to 4('CilU;Hc, split, eased off to 40' 4c and at 12 o'clock was about 40?s'c. The market weakened during the last hour, mainly iu sympathy wi:h wheat and May fell to 3.?4C. The estimate of C00 cars for tomorrow was one of the features iu tbe late depression. OaU were hardly so firm as corn but thedecline wasslight. May sold at25i4(1c, and at 1 o'olook was 2y,c. Weakness prevailed during the last hour, May touching 2S;s'c and closed at 2SJjC Hog products were fiigberon good covering by shorts, moderate offering and the firmness in corn. Hog receipts were below expectations and the price 10c higher. The support given to the provision market early was continued with slight changes to the end of the session. Lstimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat. 'I'M cars; corn, 6u0 cars; oats, 323 cars, hogs, 1,900 head. The leading futures ranged as follows:

He came down on all fours but waa tossed a second time. This time however he alighted straddle of the animal's neck. Christler seized a horn in each hand and also inserted his teeth in the animal's ear. He twisted his feet around the ueok and it was now the bull's turn to be terrified. YVhi.e prancing around Mr. Christler came near a pitchfork, which he jumped for, grabbing and burying the t;ne in the animal's Hank. Tbe bull theu submitted and was driven to his stall.
