He Says the Lynchers Will Be gBit-
terly Prosecuted. .‘
.an CHARGE or BRIBERY.
At the Proper Time He Promises to
Make Some Startling Disclosures.
His Connection with the Hon-
nessy Case—Not a Felon.
NEW ORLEANS, Apri til—Detective O’Mal-
ley, who unexpectedly appeared and sur-
rendered himself, says that at the proper
time he will make a statement, and that
it will contain many surprising disclosures
and cause a number of people now joining
in the cry against him to hide behind their
doors. Asked what he thought of the
lynching, he said: .
They Were Innocent.
“Those men were innocent, and the peo-
ple made a big mistake, for which I hope
they will properly apologize to the widows
and orphans. Each of the nineteen men
made a. statement to me which I inves-
tigated and reported upon. I found that
all of them told the truth with one ex-
caption.”
“Politz?” some one suggested, and
O’Malley replied, “You’ve guessed it.”
that I offered small bets that all of the ac-
cused would be acquitted. All this talk
about my suborning witnesses and bribing
jurors is untrue. You heard the witnesses,
and, so help me God, I never approached
any of them with reference. to what testi-
mony they were to give. The closest the
grand jury has got to me is to indict me
upon matters that happened eight years
0.
3g He Was Not Convicted.
I have sworn that I was not convicted of
felony in Cleveland and my name does not
appear upon the records of the ecurt which
tries felonies in Cleveland. Petty larceny
is not a felony in Ohio. I was only seven-
teen years old then, and if men were con-
stantly held responsible for the mistakes
they made when they were boys, there
would be very few ministers.”
Recurring to the lynching O’Malley said:
Believes They Will Be Punished.
“I have no interest in the prosecution of
the‘ men who killed the men in the parish
prison, but my belief is that there will be
a prosecution, and a bitter one. They say
that there will not be found a jury in the
parish of Orleans that will convict them.
Well, the gentlemen will be accommo-
dated in some other parish. They are too
important characters to be allowed to go
around without being attended to.
“The prosecution against me,” O’Malley
said, “is being conducted solely by an op-
posing agencv. In all my troubles here I
never took advantage of a technicality, as
the records of the courts before which I
have been charged with an offense will
show. My only answer on all occasions
has been, ‘Give me a trial.’ I have been
pictured as a bad man. There have been
things said and done to make me so. I
have been hounded and dogged until pa-
tience almost ceased to be a virtue, and
then, not caring so much for myself, but
remembering those at home, that restraint
and that alone has ofttimes prevented me
from taking the law in my own hands.
His Connection with the H ennerssy Case.
“In relation to my movements and other
things in connection with the Hennessy
case and the massacre at the parish prison,
and the action of the mob of March 14 and
of the object of some of the people con-
nected with the parish prison affair, I ex-
pect later to give to the public a full state-
ment of the facts. If there was any work-
ing up of testimony, I think that it was on
the state’s side. . If there was ever a case
in which I kept my hands off it was this.

would not take advantage of him after he
, was dead. Despite all that has been said
‘ about bribing the jurors who sat on the
case, I do not believe there was any truth
in it.
“All that I have to say about the Italian
controversy is that the Italians are getting
just what the Irish and Germans got some
thirty-five or forty years ago in the time of
Know Nothingism.
‘Vould Shoulder a, Musket.
“If it comes to war between the United
States and Italy, I expect that «I will have
to shoulder a musket; and it will be
shouldered just as soon as the men who
were prominent in the killing of the Ital-
ians arm themselves, if not sooner. Ithink
that some of them will do as they did. on
that day—they will attend to the shouting
while other men attend to the shooting.
“I was present at the meeting at Clay
statue, and from the speeches I heard de-
livered, I thought that I might be attack-
ed, although there was no reason for any
such action toward me. If I had been at-
tacked I had made up my mind to strike
the first blow, and try to reach only the
principal man, but I am very glad that I
was not forced to take such a course. I
went to my office, and upon arriving there
found several of my friends. I remained
at the office until 10:30 o’clock, when I
was almost forced out by my friends. I
finally yielded to their entreatives to leave,
although I had made up my mind to re-
main quietly in my place of business and
defend myself against attack.
The Bribery Charge.
“The charge of bribery was started be-
cause I wrote a letter to a man named E1-
liott, who happened to be drawn as a tales
juror afterward. I was a member of the
Audubon Athletic club, and was put on a
. committee to ascertain whether some of
the members desired to remain in the
club. Each member of the committee was
given a list, and on my list was the name
of Elliott. It is supposed that McCrystal,
one of the men under indictment, had
made a statement about me and connected
me with the charge of bribery. I do not
know what he said, but Thomas McCabe,
. the man whom McCrystal is said to have
approached, is quoted in an interview as
denying that my name was mentioned to
him in reference to the matter.”

ALL FOR NINE DOLLARS.
General Butler Gets Angry Because That
Amount Is Withheld. >
NEW YORK, April 6.—A Washington dis-
patch says that General Benjamin Butler
created some little excitement in the treas-
ury department Saturday afternoon. He
went there to get his check from the gov-
ernment in payment for his property on
Capitol hill, bought by the last congress.
Secretary Foster had the check made out
for $275,000, as appropriated, and as he laid
it before the‘general the old man took the
deeds for the property from ’his pocket.
The general looked at the check and said,
“I want nine dollars more for this deed."
The secretary replied that he was sorry,
but the appropriation only allowed $275,-
000, and he could not pay the .extra nine'
dollars demanded. The general then
waxed wroth and raised his voice so loud
that he was heard all over the treasury
corridor. He swore that he was not going
to lose nine dollars for drawing up a. deed,
and he would see if the government wOuld
pay it. He grew so mad that he finally re-
fused the check and put the deeds in his
pocket and walked out of the treasury.
For this nine dollars the general may re-
fuse to sell his property unless he cools
down in a day or two. '
llIYSTERlOUS DE ATE.
The Body of 0. Pretty Girl Found Under
Suspicious Circumstances.
HOMER, If. Y., April 6.-—The villages of
Homer and Cortland are in a state of great
excitement over the mysterious death of
~ "lone Barber, a pretty Homer girl, who was
employed as a waitress at the Mansion
Her body was found at the
house of a woman physician named Dr.
Lydia Trowbridge, of Prospect Hill, in the
village of Cortlandt, last Thursday. To
an inquiry for the certificate as to the ‘cause
of death Mrs. Trowbrldge said that she
thought none would be necessary, but
finally certified that the girl had died of
congestion of the lungs.
On Friday morning an autopsy was
made, but the physicians are reticent as to
the result. Fifteen or twenty years ago
Mrs. Trowbridge was indicted for criminal
malpractice, but the trial never came off,
the necessary witnesses, it is said, having
got out of the way. The coroner summoned
a jury, who, after viewing the body, ad-
journed till Monday morning.
.._ General Sherman’s Remains.
ST. LOUIS, April 6.——The remains of Gen-
eral W. T. Sherman are to be removed,
‘ and the detachment of United. States
troops that has been detailed to guard
‘duty at the grave will watch over the re-
mains in their new and temporary resting
place. Before his death the general gave
directions as to his last resting place, and
it is in order that his wishes may be com-
plied with that the remains will be tempo-
rarily transferred from the Sherman lot in
‘ Calvary to the receiving vault of the cem-
etery. It was the wish of the general that
his remains should not be interred in an
ordinary grave in the earth, but that they
be placed in an apartment under ground,
which should be built of stone and con-
crete and covered over with a heavy mar-
ble slab. The sepulchre will be built large
enough to receive the remains of the gen-
eral, his wife and two children that now
rest beside him in Calvary.
Died of Trichinosis.
Rocnnsrnn, N. Y., April 6.-—Charles
Wagner died Thursday night at the city
hospital from trichinosis. Deceased ate
raw ham about three months ago. His
wife, brother and the latter’s wife and
children also partook of the uncooked
pork. Soon afterward the ravages of the
trichinae_ became apparent. The women
and children were soon convalescent, but
the two men have been in a serious condi-
tion. William Wagner was discharged
from the hospital as cured Only last week.
Charles was fairly alive with the trichinw
and physically wasted to a skeleton. The
disease had also afiected him externally
and he is a repulsive sight to look upon. ,
Crazed by Her Many Ordeals.
CHESTER, Pa, April 6. — Caroline
Schmidt, who was acquitted last week in
the county court of the murder of her
sister, Emma Pfitzenmyer, in September
last, has become insane. She has passed
through a terrible ordeal. First the tragic
death of her sister after both had attended
a German ball, then the severe examinae
tions, her imprisonment for three months
charged with the murder, and her ill
health in jail, and finally at the trial learn-
ing first from a witness that her mother in
Germany had died from the shock of the
one sister’s death and the other’s arrest.
Her hallucination is that a cab will drive.
up to the door and carry her off.
Ticket Speculators Come to Grief.
ROCHESTER, N. Y., April 6.—~Ticket spec-
ulators energetically plied their advoca—
tion at the Bernhardt sale of seats and
they came to grief. They held back the
three dollar seats for five dollars each and

Saturday evening and that fancy prices
would be~ secured, but,.alas!.'purchasers'
came not. The speculators welife'Igl-ad to
get twenty-five and fifty cents'each for
valuable seats. ' ' .

LONDON, April 6.-——An accident, result-
ing in the death of a number of persons
and the injury of many more, is reported

curred at Venangoboro, a little village on
the line of the New York and Pennsyl-

strong. '
