New York Herald.

Windsor, Vermont, April 11.—The Washington safe burglary investigation has, within the past few weeks, absorbed the attention of the Congressional committee engaged in it at Washington, and excited the country from one to the other. Recent revelations seem to implicate in that nefarious job several prominent officials of the government at Washington, among others George E. White, alias Miles, the man recently convicted in Vermont for bank burglary and under sentence of fourteen yeard imprisonment. He was the chief operator in the burglary conspiracy, being the person who "did the job" of breaking open the safe in the district attorney's office at Washington.

His place of confinement is in this town, and it has been rumored that his version of the history of the conspiracy might be obtained by seeing him. I arrived here to-day at noon and immediately sought Superintendent Bailey, of the Winsor Prison, where Miles is confined at hard labor.

A VISIT TO MILES.

Taking a team and driving about three-forths of a mile through the mud and s'ush Windsor Prison was reached. Making myself known to ihe Superintendent, I explained to him fully and freely the object of my visit, stating that I would like to be permitted to talk with Miles on the Washington safe burglary, and that if Miles would consent to an interview of brief duration I would only question him upon that

t0P»c»

ering any points which he might wish to talk about. The Superintendent said that Miles was at work in the shop, and that my request seemed not to be unreasonable.

Superintendent and I entered the prison door leading into thedomitorv. The prisoner was sent tor. Superintendent Bailey met and greeted Miles as he entered, He was cleanly shaven, his hair was cut, and he wore the prison regulation

A prison, and Uiink the known "Yes," said Babcock, "it is a bad ketcome when I should make le ot fir.h." I called Babcock's atteniust how I stood in that saie ore**

was sent for by Colonel

Whitley to come to his office at Is o. r()Bleeker street, ^New \ork,. I

bave

known Whitley quite a ong timeand know where he lived at Cambridge, near Boston. In response toWhitley's message that he wanted to see me at his olhce I called on him. He said, when I asked him what he wanted of me, George thpre is an investigation foot at Washingtoil which will eventually implicate some of the prominent officials of the national and District Government. The officials who fear that this investigation will

prove

disastrous to them

want to have the force of the investigation broken and, Miles, you understand what I mean. I want you to go forthwith to Nettleship and learn the particulars and explanatory details. There have several plans been suggested, but nothing has been positively determined upon as to which of tt em is best."

pers and books the district attorney's safe would have to be broken iuto? Miles—Well, I had several conversations on the subject of obtaining the books and papers, and when I was nearly ready to leave New York for Washington, Nettleship told me, for the first time, that the plan as agreed upon was to break open the district attoruey'j safe, abstract the books and take them to Colum« bus Alexander's house.

Reporter—When you arrived at Washington whom did you see? Miles—Nettleship introduced ino to Harrington, and after this introduction the details and suggestions about the job came from Harrington.

A TALK WITH I5ABCOCK.

Reporter—Did you ever h:ive a talk with Gen. Babcock? Miles—Well, I will tell you how matters stood. When I had been in Washington a day or two I saw that Nettleship began to show the white feather. I did not like the thiii£. I grew anxious about the looks of things, and I went up to Harrington'^ to tell hiua how I felt in the matter. Bibcock was at Harrington's when I got there. We three sat together, the same as we three sit here this afternoon. Harrington and Babccck both heard me through, and Harrington assured ine that everything was straight and he would see me protected to the end whereupon General Babcock spoke up and assured me that whatever promises were made mo by Harrington would be strictly adhered to.

Reporter—Then ibcock was present at Harrington's and heard what you told him about Nettleship and the doubts you had about straight sailing?

Miles—Yes he heard all about it. THE NIGHT OF THE BUHGLAltY. Reporte/—Then you went on with the intention of doing the job?

Miles—Yes, it was arranged that the job of breaking open the safe was to be done at nine o'clock at ni«ht. I went around to the office where the safe was and, after entering, I looked aoout the room. In doing so, I opened the closed door which was iu the room and to my surprisa I lound two men concealed therein. This again intimidated mo. I then determined to go around to the Metropolitan Hotel on Pennsylvania avenue. I went and met there a promiuent official who knew what was going on. I told him I had just been into the office to break open the aafo, and that, in prospecting about the room, I accidentally discovered two men in the closet,ana thiugs looked dubious. This official assured me everything was all right, and I returned in about two uours to do the job. When I returned these two men were gone. I began the job about midnight and got through as quick as possible.

AN UNNAMED OFFICIAL.

Rsporter—Who was this official you saw at the Metropolitan Hotel? Miles—When we began this interview I reserved the right to refuse to answer such questions as I chose. Now I will tell you who this offi«ial was I saw at the Metropolitan Hotel, but do not publish it at present—promise me.

Reporter—All right tell us. Miles hereupon told the name, but I will not divulge it at present.

Reporter—Did you recognize oither of these men you found in the closet? Miles—Yes, I recognized one of them. It was a prominent contractor at Washington.

Iteporter—And the other? Mii'es—'Well, let that stand for the present.

Reporter—Where and with whom do you think this job first originated Miles—I candidly believe the job was originated by Babcock that he manufactured the plot and got the others iuto it by. his influence.

ANOTHER TALK WITH BABCOCK.

Reporter—Did you ever talk with General Babcock after tho job had proven a failure

Miles—Yes I met Babcock on the train between Washington and New Yoik when the President's daughter was married to Sartoris. I talked with Babcock and remarked that the job seemed to have proven a failure.

tioQ {o th0 fjict that tb0 expenges aris-

ReDorter—Were you employed iu the so-called safe burglary job and did you do it?

Miles—Yes. THE IMPLICATED PARTIES. Reporter—Who employed you

llMiles—Well, I was hired by Harrii "ton. As the sequel will show, General Babcock and Evans, the contractor knew all abou it, lenorter—When and how were you first approached about this busi-

ing from the job were getting high

Babcock said that he wasaware of that, but I would have to look to other quarters lor that.

Reporter—This was with General Babcock you were talking. Miles—Y03.

PERSECUTED BY BABCOCK.

Reporter—Now, Miles, what is there farther in this statement jou are making that you wish to say at pres ent?

Mii'es—There are other things of which I am cognizint, bnt_ at this time I will say that I make this statement because I have stood the blunt and the persecutions of the matter^all through, and siuco I have ascertained from a trustworthy informant that Bibcock was making efforts to close my mouth by sending me to this prison I now make this state* meat public for the first time, and it is true iu every particular. There are other matters caunected with the job and trial, and the men ai Washington who first got nie into that job, and who made solemn pledges and promises to jie that the whole'nower of the government would be oehind mo for pro tection which I will not now mention, notwithstanding they have broken these promises. Now, my plan proposed to those men was this: After breaking open the safe and getting the papers aud books, to retain them until tho next day then they could be taken up to Alexander's house but Harrington wou.d uot iia ten to me. The job must be completed that night. Hence the failure. Now, since this thing has been under trial and investigation, I have been offered $40,000 for what I have stated to-day.

Reporter—Did you call on ship and tell him what Colonel Whitley told you?

Miles—Yes, I did. THE PliAN OF THE CRIME. Reporter—When was it first mentioned to you that to get at these pa-

refused to say one word. I do not expect any sympathy from the public. I am here for iourteen years and I propose to begin unloaded.

Reporter—Have

Miles—Yes. After some casual conversation Miles shook hands heartily with me, and left me to renew his labors.

Ol all the miserable frauds, the Black Hill's ignis fatuns is probably the worst extant Mr. Martin Hogan, a returned western man-and gallant soldier on the frontier during the war, furnishes us papers from wnich are culled the following extracts Irom the letters of disgusted gold hunters:

LETTER FROM THOS. o'NEIL,

Feb. Mc-

dated Cluster City, Black Hilis, 26th, and written to Mr. W. C, Caskell: "I would not advise my friends to come here on what 1 have seen, although a man can find gold all over the country, but not ia paying quantities, and I doubt if it is so found. I am satisfied it was a fool trip to come here. There are about 3,000 men here nov, but many are leaving."

The Madiponian also publishes an extract from a letter from Louis Anderson to James Mitchell, of Virginia Citv. Mr. Anderson is on his way to the Black Hills, and dates his letter at Laramie, Wyoming, March 13 th: "I have talked with many here abont the Black Hills. They don't think there is any thing there that will pay. Many miners bave come back, pronouncing the Hills the greatest humbug ever gotten up. The railroad and business men make money ont of the stampede. No gold has come from there yet. I believe firmly it is a grand humbug, but I am too big a coward to turn ba?k now. I start to-morrow, with six others, from this place to^the Black Hills. It costs $20 to be allowed to walk behind a wagon from Laramie to Custer City, and will take from fourteen to twenty days to make the journey. For two cents I would.turn back and go to California. Don't advise anybody to go to the Black Hills now. The report is now that the mines are away up to tho Yellowstone and .Big Horn country. Nobody about here believes in the Black Hills, and I wish I hadn't left Montana. Show this »o tho boys

and claimed that they had not attempted an ificrease of wages, but were contending for the old rates—$2.75 per day for mortar carriers and §2 50 for brick, and that the trouble was originated by the contractors. A large number of the disatfec ed this forenoon gathered about the Moore block, where the nonnnionists were at work, but the police chief took the necessary precautions to hold: them in check. Work upon the Centennial block ceased entirely, and work was very much retarded in other portions of the city the contractors, howover, affirm that bv tomorrow the places of ohe disaffected will be filled. The bosses most interested are Fred Pail, John Wiesse, Springsteen & Buchanan, A. E. Iden, Samuel Wallace, Thomas Vater, Robert Evans, Henry Miller, John Martin and J. W. Johnson.

A Liberal Offer.

A woodward avenue street car was so nicely filled with passengers yes» terday that a boy of eleven or twelve years had to stand up by the front door. He hung to a strap with one hand and bit great "chaws" from a hund of molasses candy held in the other. His mouth wa9 soon colored and his fingers gummed up, and by and by some, of the sweet got into a hollow tooth and he was made sick of candy. He held the dripping huuk in his fingers for a moment and then offered to a man with a gold headed cane, snying: "It's wicked to waste that 'ere, and I can't put it in my pocket!'

'1 he Solemn Tt nth.

This is the season when you can buy a second-hand coal stove tor almost nothing. The owner of it prefaces his remarks by the statement that he hates a liar, and goes on to say that the stove is the best stove he ever heard of. It has run the winter on two tons of coal— kept the whole house roasting hot— fire never went out—only had to shake it twice—was offered $10 more than he paid—wouldn't think of sell ing it if he wasn't going to build don't want it in the way—will s6U.it for half-price, and so forth. If you tell him' you don't want the stove his jaw drops, and he goes away with the feeling that you are his deadly enemy.
