One or the other of them came to see me almost every Hay and talked to me in a manner calculated to keep up my spirits. I knew that I was in a tight box, and I didn't know of any other plan by which I could get out ot the matter, except' to stick by them, for they scared me so completely by their perpetual and persistent efforts and threats, that I honestly was glad to do any thing, to get out of the matter. Lawyer Mack 'came down to see me several times and told me, before the trial, "When Judge Carleton asks you any questions,

(From Monday's GAZETTE.)

It has been known ior several days past that "Piney." the sentenced accomplice of Flowers in the Armstrong murder, was about to make a confession, an J. with the understanding the most sancti monious member of the GAZETTE staff was, this Afternoon introduced to Piney, who was, apparently, only too villing to

AS GOD IN HEAVEN IS MY JUDGE, When Flowers was first arrested and I was before the Grand Jury, I told the truth when I stated that I knew nothing about the murder. I never saw the murdfr-, and furthermore, I was entirely ignorant of the whereabouts of Flowers on the night the murder was committed.

After the murder was committed, I was taken to the scene of the murder by CHIEF STACK AND DEPUTY CLEARY who persuaded me to swear as I did, upon my appearance in court, during the trial of Flowers. Stack and Cleary took me to a back room in the Court House during my examination before the Court, and Cleary told me that I "would

!..s

JUST SAY YES OR NO

as the case may require." The first time Cleary said anything to me he expressed himself as b^ing perfectly satisfied as to my innocence.' He said to me, Piney, I know you are an innocent man, and we'll help you ail we can." Stack and Cleary came to see me often, and they told me to keep up my spirits, and not back down like I did before the grand jury., I don't want this confession of mine to get into the papers until after my departure for the Penitentiary, for I am afraid that Stack and Cleary will kill me. Be tween they on the one hand, and Flowers on the other, I am almost crazy with fear of loting my life. I hope that the truthfulness of my story will eventually assert itself, for it is true in everf particular.

The above is the purport of Piney's confession, slightly embellished, 'tis true, but nevertheless an exact and accurate statement, as it came trom his lips. The man appears to be honest in his statement, but his testimony before the Grand Juiy and its contradiction in court will weigh heavily against public acceptation of the veracity of his last tale.

PINKY's PAST AND PARENTAGE I was born in Ashland, Ashland Co., Ohio, and will be 28 years old on the 18th of next June. Both of my parents dying while I was yet quite young, I was adopted Capt. Woodburn, a resident of Ashland. I resided with him up to within the past four years, when his death ne cessitated my removal. He was an old

cf«zcn #"lh^ ^^n^etl-to-do, ^pected ajuthonored by all. lie endeav»red to impress upon any mind while I was young the importance of

LIVING IN HORMST, UPRIGHTIIIFE. I have three brothers and one sister the"* latter lives in Crestline, O., one of the brothers in Warren Co, Ills., and the two others in Texas. In regard to my shooting my wife, I wish to state that I did as any man would have done under like circumstances I was enraged beyond sanity by her conduct, and shot her while she was tantalizing me with her faithlessness. Thus ended the interview. (Prom Tuesday's GAZETT*.)

The article in 1 ast evening's GA ZETTE giving a brief outline of an interview between "Piney,"—an oyer-the-road-boun 1 individual with whom most of our citizens are already acquainted—and the GAZETTEER—or, probably, we should say "one of the fold"—has apparently given new life and interest to the mamlold and peculiar tales of friend Piney.

With a view ot consulting the 6tate of Piney's physical and mental health, as well as to gain a little information in regard to the veracity of his confession, published in yesterday's GAZETTE, and partially refuted in thia morning's Ex press,the aforesaid "convert," dropped in on Piney this morning, and gained a little iniormation that will be of 6ome interest to those of our good neople who, are willing to listen to (act and fiction.

When the GAZETTEER entered the jail Piney was in the rear of the hall, apparently meditating upon the "ways that are queer" &c. of newspaper men in general. He did not appear as unapproachable as usual, but was willing to give a little insight into the conversation, or. rather, "cross examination," to which he was subjected last night by Deputy Cleaof

lawyer Felsenthal, and a mtmfyer

are true'1 the Express staff. He said: Piney—Well I spose you came back to sec me again, did you?

Reporter—Yes, Piney, I see you hnd a little interview last evening which 'sEx published in this mowing's Express,

Piney—Yes sir! they all came down to see me after that piece came out. I didn't know it was to be published or I should never have told what I did un il after I got over where I will be sale.

R—Well, Piney. in regard to ihi* inter\ieAV published this morning, will you staje the purport ot the "cross examination" you underwent last evening? .f

P—Well, they all came down h^re together, and took me into the office and read the report published in last evening's GAZETTE to me. 1 had not seen the paper before they came down, and consequently I knew nothing about the contents of the article which they rrad to me, for thq reason that I did not suppose it was to be published, and being so confused before Cleary I did not understand the imp jrt of it. After they had finished my "cross examination," I got a copy of the GAZETTE and read it through carefulJy,

R—What conclusion did you arrive at after reading it—I mean in regard to its truthfulness.

P.—It was particularity accurate. "Every word published was not only what I said, but was tiuth. When they took me into the room ancTread the account o! your former interview with me, I was sb mixed, that I didn't understand it at all. 1 had no idea of denying what I had told you in the morning. I expect to "go up'' for life, and it is not of any particular benefit to me to tell a lie about the matter now. Wfhen a newspaper reporter, a lawyer and the deputy sheriff him»elf surrounds a fellow, there ain't much chance tor a man with more brains than I've got.

R—I see that you deny your statement of yesterday that Cleary visited you.

P.—I didn't do anything of the kind. Cleary paomised me that he would see that I was pardoned, and I told him the same thing last evening to his face.

R.—The Express report states that you said the statement in the GAZETTE, in regard to Mr. Mack, telling you to answer "yes" or '•no*' before the jury was a little mixed. Was that your statement, or were you misunderstood by the GAZETTEER?

P.—I didn't say anything of the kind. R.—Did anv of the party who visited you yesterday evening, attempt in anyway" to scare you, or compel*! yvu to answer questions in a different manner from what you would under other circumstances? —No I can't say they exactly tried to scare me, bnt they done it, whether that was their intention or not.

R.—You say in your conversation of late last evening, that about one-fourth of the matter published in the GAZETTE only was true. Is that your honest conviction?

P.—As I told you fore, I didn't know what was in the GAZETTE. I was to confused when the party came in that I could not understand what they were reading to me. After I got a copy of the paper myself and read it over, I saw that it was just as I had stated the matter to you.

R.—You still adhere to your story that Stack and Cleary induced you to give the testimony before the jury, that you did"?

P.—Yes, sir that was the truth, if I 4.e for it. Piney seemed this morning to feel the weight ot* his communication to the GAZETTE yesterday. That he is disturbed in mind, erratic (some say insane) there is no doubt. If lie wilfully makes the statement he ha^, with the intention of in iuring the men whom he has assailed, he deserves the fate of a Texas horse thief.

In a short conversation with Chief Stack and Deputy Cleary this afternoon, both expressed themselves as being satisfied that the public would not allow them selves to be duoed by a man who had already perjured hlmselt. They denounce the statement of Piney as too absurdly false to merit the attention of a sane nun.

HIS SANITY.

In conversation with Sheriff Carico this morning, he stated that he did not desire to make his private opinion public, but as he had already expressed himself pretty freely, he did not mind saying that, in his estimation, Piney was not a sane man. Chief Stack and Deputy Cleary both express themselves as satisfied at to the man's insanity.

If Piney is really insane, what right would his evidence have againstjFlowers If Piney is insane, is it right, is it justice to send him to the penitentiary Is that the proper place for a man who is not responsible for thought or action

A. Friend Vindicates Him in t»ie Indianapolis Journal.

To -lbs KrtJtor »:.t »ta "ndisnapoMs Jou-nal. T»*e dispatch tr Washington published inywr paoo the igth inst., which rtifceted #erioa4* upon tl.e integrity and effieienc of Gen* Frank White, coilfctor of this (Terre Haute) district, will prove to be wih^-ut ai.y foundation in truth, and, in fact, when once fully and fairlv examined ana understood-

I have not heretofore sympathized with Gt*n. White in the fight tnat has been fpude ajjaii.s' him by parties Vho want his p'ace, but when the dispatch above referred to, appeared in your piper I thought it astounding if true, uad, therefore put myself to the trouble lo examine in othe mat'er a-fl find the following to be subffUiiiiLi.k li facts

Under the administration of General Whi-e. Mr Fred W Stoecker acted as his deputy collector, and had the entire charge ot the inotoey of the office. Mr. S:oeckcr was exceedingly jo-ein his manner "i ooing busine&c, and when General White became thoroughly cor.vinctd that Mr. Stcecki was HOC the man tor the olace,

removed him. aid appoint

ed Mr. h:i Paddock, of thn city, otr: of the most iflicient, honest and cwinpt tent n^en that »»e have .".mong u«.

Serious charges were at once made against General White, growing oui of the ir.egularities and looseness of Mr Stoecker.

Mr. Stoecker and hia son, who was also removrd from the office by General White lor his misconduct. Iecame the principal wi'ness against hiin. The charges wore examined into by the Prcs Went, a id General White was retained in office and entirely txonerated from everything like dishonest.v. On the 12th of this mon'h. General White being abent from the citv, Mr. Paddock, as such deputy col!e:tor. sold stamps on that day amounting to $1 6,830,95, but $6,300 of thtvn were sold After banking hours, in consequence of which Mr. Paddock was no enabled to purchase .^r^ft or get a certified check for the money for hese stamp--, and having no sate place to keep the s*-ne, he left it until the next *ay wi'i Mr. IKdman, who is one of 'he most honorable and 'ftspectable men in the S ate, and whoha» a safe not only fireproof but burglar-proof

On the next day General Clark, revenue ai ent, came to the office of General White to examine into his account-, lie made the examina'ion, nr»! proved thai General Whi e, through hi.- clers.- had •oli stamps on the i2tl. to the amount to $16,830,95 and had only emitted $10,530 95, leaving a balance ot wii 0I1 General White should huve had lad on hand. General Clark ii|uired Mr. Pad dock to produce the mo1 v. Mr. Paddock informed him that thev had no money in the office except al out $100 which had bfen received in the office during the day that the monev for which the stamps hadbeen sold the day belt re vac in Mr. Hulman's safe. General Clark usk ed him if he had a rtified checker the amount, Mr. Padock fold him he had not that the stamps were sold i.fter the banking' lion and that he could get net ther a draft send away nor a certified check, and having no safe place to kt-ep the money that he had left it in 'tr Hulman's safe The deputy at cure went and got the money and sent it uv/ay on the 131b with the other collections made on that day. Because Gei». ral White's deputy, in his absence, had m»ld stamps after banking hours (a thing that has been done in this district ever tincr the revenue law has been in force, and by which noto te cent ha» ever been lost to the-government), and because he could not get a draft or a certified check, and having no place provided tor the safe keeping of the money, he left it in the best and most secure safe in the city, and did not have the same in the office at the time General Clark was there and demanded it. This is charged up against General White as a very serious offense against the revenue law, when in truth and in fact it was simply an honest and straightforward business transaction, and the safest and best thing that Jhe deputy could do in the matter.

If stamp, are to be sold at all to accommodate the business public after banking liuurs, if the government intends to adopt the xygtem that no stamps shall be sold after banking hours, that is one thing but if the puolic are to be accommodated with these stamps as it has always been heretofore, after 4 o'clock and before 6 o'clock then no safer plan can be adopted irt this district than that adopted by General White's deputy, as Mr. Hulman's private check for money left withhiir is as safe to General White and to the government, as in any shape it could be placed, as Mr. Hulman's check is a9 good as the check of any bank in the State of Indiana.

This acc. unts for the six thousand and odd dollars Which the dispatch published in your paper says were Hot in General White's office. As to the twenty thousand and odd dollars which the dispatch says was credited out for stamps improperly sold, the facts are these* Under the revenue law the collectors are required to close the accounts at the end thereof. General White construed this that he muct clo^e the accounts of August before he ould commence sanding off the^ receipts for October. General White's district is composed of nearly three congressional districts. The returns therefore from the Lafavette district at the close »f August did not reach Gen'l. White until the ^th of September. On that day he closed the accounts for August and forwarded a draft tor the amount. The money that was collected by General White t?om the ist to the 5th of Septemter, he, on each of these days, made a special deposit of the money he had collected and placed the same in Hulman's safe, which is one of the best and most secure in the city of Terre Haute, and on the 5 th of September these collections amounted to over twenty thousand dollars, and on the very day he closed his account for August he, after the same were closed, purchased drafts for the twenty thousand dollars and sent the same to the government depository at Cincinnati, Oh o, where he is required to deposit theUame. Gen. White not being permitted to deposit the money he collects, he was compelled, under the construction he gave to the law, to make his dejsosits especial itvhis own name instead of depositing it as government money, as he had to keep the money he collected in September until his accounts for August were closed.

The charge made it* the dispatch that Gen. White ieft his money with Hulman Jc Fairbanks, the distiller*, is not true.

It was always put in Hulman's private

SgfV.

stfe, which is ieparate and distinct from the distillery safe. And no one word as to the character of the man who is thus chargedi with cf*icial misconduct.,, f*en White has been a resident ofthi*,the ,Eighth Congressional District, for twenty-five years, and is to-day one of the most popular men in it. and never has his honesty or integrity been questiond until the two Stackers, both of whom he had turned out of the revenue office, saw fit to begin the attack, and the ptfblic can readily guess their object and purpose.
