The Indicted Assemblyman Returns to Al-
bany \Vith an Explanation.
ALBANY, May 17.—Assemblyman Eu-
gene F. Vacheron of the Third district of
Queens county. who was indicted Monday
on the charge of accepting a bribe and who
fled to escape arrest, returned to Albany
at the solicitation of his friends. He said
he would surrender himself to the Albany
authorities.
Senator Childs, whose senatorial district
embraces that of Vacheron, agreed to fur-
nish bail for Vacheron’s appearance.
Vacheron has retained Assemblyman
John B. Stanchfleld of Chemung to defend
statement relative to his connection with
the Campbell ice bill, which he is charged
with having manipulated to compel Ice
Dealer Best of Albany to pay him $2,000.
Vacheron appeared in the assembly
chamber at 10 o’clock and was welcomed
by his friends.
No attempt was made to arrest Vache-
ron, and it- was said in no would be, but
that he .Would be permitted to surrender
himself.
When asked if he had any statement to
make, he said:
“ On Mon day 6 veiling last a rum or reach-
ad me that the grand jury of the county of
Albany had brought an indictment against
me for the crime of bribery.
”The thought alone that any man had
dared to unjustly accuse me and bring dis-
grace, upon my colleagues, my party and
myself maddened and excited me. and I
immediately started for New York to con-
sult with my friends. _
”The strain brought on a nervous at-'
tack of illness, and I went to a friend’s
house and there remained until yesterday,
when I learned that, in addition to the
higher offense, 1 had also been accused of
attempting to evade the law.
“The answer to the last accusation is
that I am here of my own volition. My
answer to the grave charge will be given
to the proper tribunal.
“Conscious that I have violated no law
and strong in the knowledge that I am in-
nocent,~I desire to assure my friends and
colleagues that, when a verdict is given, I
can meet them as I do now, face to face.
without a cloud upon my title as a state
Officer and an honest man.”
Vacheron afterward made the some ex-
planation to the house. This explanation
was received with applause.
An officer of the district attorney’s office
appeared in the house. at 11 o’clock. and it
was arranged that Vacheron should sur-
render to him at the end of the session,
and that ball would be immediately accept-
ed for his appearance for trial.

A HILL SILVER RUMOR.
An Ingenious \Vestern Yarn \thh the
Senator Promptly Denies.
g CHICAGO, May l7.—A morning paper
l says: It is reported that there is positive
3 evidence that the silver leaders in Illinois
5 are now in communication with Senator
§ Hill and are urginghim to declare in favor
E of free silver, promising him a solid West-
' em and southern delegation inthe nation-
al Democratic convention; that Mr. Hill
has the proposition under advisement and
4 may write a letter which will be read at
' the Springfield conventiOn, in which case
that body is expected to indorsc him for
the presidency and W. H. Hlnrichsen for
second place on the ticket. From the same
source it is claimed that Mr. Hill is only
waiting to get Tammany into line for the
coup d’etat; that Crisp of Georgia is in
the scheme and is expected to swing the
south into line as Hinrichsen is trying to
swing the west, and that he is to be re-
. warded in the event of success by being
' made secretary of the treasury.
3 Back of it all is said to be a $8, 000, 000
i campaign fund to be contributed by a big
combination of silver mine owners and sil-
ver carrying railroads. The fund is to be
- used east of the Alleghanies if Hill is nom-
inated on a free silver platform.
E A morning paper prints the following
' from its Springfield (Illa) correspondent:
It is reported here on excellent author-
ity that Chairman Hinrichsen has in his
possession a letter from Senator David B.
Hill of New York which will be read be-
fore the state Democratic currently conven-
tion next month. ‘
The tenor of the letter. it is stated, is
. strongly for free silver, and it is believed
l by those “in the knowing” that ‘lt is in-
! tended by the New York statesman as a
bid for the support of Illinois in the Dem-
ocratic national convention in 1896, and
that Secretary Hlnrichsen has his eye fixed
on second place.
Hill Denies It.
NEW YORK, May 17.—Senator Hill ar-
rived in this city and put up at the Hotel
Normandic. He would see no one in his
rooms, announcing that ho was engaged
in private business. In response to a note
of inquiry taken to him he replied: '
“I have not written anything on silver
for the last three years.” ,
