The , Blander Against ; Philadelphia Completely Refuted Full Re port of the Official i Investigation. A Blory has beon going the rounds of the papers concerning a family of Polish Prus sian emigrant named Fawekki to the follow ing effect: "The emigrants arrived in Milwaukee after having, aa it was Raid, endured the greatest indignities in Philadelphia, while on their route to the West from the old country. The family, consisting of father, mother, two small boys, and three daughters, from six teon to twenty years of age, landed in Phila delphia, having tickets to Milwaukee, but no money. They were obliged to remain in this city over night, and they found shelter in a tmall room attached to a low immigrant house, and here they crowded together, eat ing of the stale bread they had brought with them. In the morning the cut-throat who owned the house demanded of the Prussian fifteen dollars for the lodgings of the party, but the poor man had no money and could not pay the exorbitant bill. Threats were made of imprisonment, but they were use less, and then the sharks took all the baggage of the party, consisting of three large boxes filled with household goods, eta. "This the family pleaded for but could not get, and they were compelled to start West without it. But the sharks were not ready to let them go. As the Prussian was about leaving for the cars they came upon him again, and took the three daughters away, saying they had authority from the police to do this, and should hold the girls until the $15 was paid, and this, notwithstand ing the fact that they had property worth several hundred dollars belonging to the family there. "The poor old man was nearly heart-broken now. lie did not know what to do. He dared not move, for he was told by those who represented themselves as police, that if he did not pay the $15 by noon of that day, they would take his wife and the other children and lock them up. All that day the old man went about the city trying to find his daugh ters who had been taken away from him, but it was a useless search, and out of money, nearly out of provisions, he was compelled to leave them behind him and come on to his journey's end. It is evident that the sharks had but one object in view with these un fortunates; to send them to some den of in famy. No other fate can be hoped for them. "The old man arriving in Milwaukee in the greatest distress, told his story, and found ready listeners. Louis Reidt, a kind-hearted gentleman of the south side, took the affidavit of the family, and learned the particulars of the outrage." The affidavit, with other papers, was forwarded to this city and an examina- ... 11 'a 1 . T i ' xl 1 ' lion was neia, conuucieu uy me vrovernor, the Mayor, and the German Society.

I beg, also, to say, that in accordance with your Excellency's request, I will for ward a copy of the testimony taken to Mr. Riedt at the earliest convenient moment, and with your Excellency's permission, I should like very much to give the whole matter to the public through the newspapers, as there has been quite an extensive publication of the Pawelski affidavits. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Daniel M. Fox, Mayor of Philadelphia. Benjamin Franklin being duly sworn, did depose and say I am a detective officer of the city of Philadelphia; was detailed with a colleague detective officer, Tryon, by order of his Honor Daniel M. Fox, Mayor of the city of Philadelphia, to investigate the matter of the alleged abduction of four children of Michael Pawelski, now a resident in Wiscon sin, as set forth in the affidavit made by him and his wife before Louis Riedt, Notary Fublic, Milwaukee, dated December 21, 18(!!t; in pursuance of instructions we called upon the agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, who has charge of the emigrant line in this city, Mr. Francis Funk, office No. 110 Market street, and made known the object of our visit. He stated that his attention had been called to this matter by a publication in the German newspapers of the statements made by Michael Pawelski, in the affidavit referred to. That a partial investigation has been made by the agent of the German Society of Philadel phia, and he had ascertained that the family referred to had, on their arrival in this city, stopped at Klohr's hotel, northwest corner of Front and Union streets; that he, the agent of the society, had learned of the whereabouts of the family, and said that he had written a letter to Louis Riedt, the Notary Publio referred to, at Milwaukee, stating the information he had obtained. Mr. Funk gave Mr. Klohr, in speaking of him, an excellent character, saying that he had known him for years as a truthful man and a decent citizen. He also said that he was satisfied, from information received by him, that the statement so made before the notary publio was false. We then followed up the investigation; saw Mr. Klohr, who promptly called with us on the Mayor, and made affidavit of the facts (which affidavit is hereto appended). Mr. Klohr then volunteered to accompany us to Bridgeport, Gloucester county, New Jersey, to see the two sisters, Augustina and Annie Pawelski, in accordance with that offer, and by instructions of the Mayor, we (deponent) Tryon and Klohr visited Bridgeport last evening, called upon Mr. Thomas G. Borden and also Mr. Elmer Cooper, adjoining neighbors, and found them to be highly respectable . people, substantial farmers, members of the religious Society-of Friends, and on stating the object of our visit, and on reading to them the affidavit of Miohael Pawelski. they expressed their aston ishment, Mr. Borden saying it was a vile falsehood; that he (Mr. Borden) had called at the house of Mr.. Klohr in July last, for the purpose of obtaining hired help, being well acquainted with Mr. Klohr, and found the Pawelski family there; Mr. Pawelski was anxious for him to take both girls, but he only wanted one; he finally consented to take two of them,' Augustina and Annie; a third daughter (Elizabeth) at the same time wanted him to take her also, and cried, as she wanted to go with her sisters; he gave Mr. Pawelski his name and address on a piece of, paper, at his leaving with the girls, so that the family could communicate with the girls; on his (Mr. Borden's) arrival at home, he kept one of the girls (Annie) and his neighbor, Elmer Cooper, took the other (Augustina); the two girls lived there with them for thirty-one or thirtv-two weeks, receiving wages all the time, for a short time after their arrival re ceiving $125 per week, and alter wards $2 per week for the remainder of the time. Both the gentlemen (Messrs. lsordon ana tJoopor) stated that the girls gave entire satisfaction, and behaved very well, t nrtnermore, tnat at about Christmas time their sister, Eliza beth, came to the farms and visited her sis ters; that Elizabeth had spoken of the old folks being in Wisconsin; that she had been employed at Meyer's, Chesapeake City, and was well pleased with her place, and brought with her a letter she had received from her parents in Wisconsin. Mr. Borden also informed us that subse quently Elizabeth again visited them, in com pany with her brother, John Pawelski, had an interview with the sisters, and arranged that they all four should start West and join the family in Wisconsin immediately, which they did on the l.th day of this (present) month, Mr. Cooper having driven them to the railroad depot for that purpose. , They were all in good spirits, expected to be three davs on the way, and Mr. Borden gave us the letter received from B. L. Pntzel (which let ter is referred to ' in the hereto ao companyiBg affidavit of Josephine Rath). Deponent also called thisniorningon Mr. B. L, Putzel, residing at No. 100(1 North Second Btreet, in this city, who stated that be had written the letter referred to at the request of Mrs. Rath; that Mr. Borden had called upon him in company with the two girls (Augus tina and Annie Pawelski), and the girls ex pressed themselves very much pleased with their home in New Jersey, and went baok there, the girls also, at the same time, stating that they knew their parents were in Wis consin.

D. 1870. uanikl m. rox, . . . , Mayor of Philadelphia, Henry Klohr being duly sworn; did depose and say that he keeps a uotei at tne norm. west corner of Front and ' Union streets, in the city of Philadelphia; on the 7th or July last I was out at the New York depot, in the Twenty-fourth ward: on the' arrival of the New York, train emigrant line due at 11 '30 P. M., I met the family Of Michael Pawelski, consisting of eight 'persons'; . I.'lpoX'th'dni in oharge, put them in a wagon of mine, and oonteyed thefci myself that same nightrto my, own home, being. the place bdv Mated, i where -1 , fumwhed . them fti.r6om wlthn beds and bed clothing; several beds, enough to comfortably accommodate them; and they all slept in beds, I Buppose, as there was abundance for that , purpose. The next morning they had a substantial warm breakfast", the same M the other board era and at the same tabJe, my bar-keepef and also my driver eating at the same time and at the same table... After breakfast warf over.I sent my wagon and my driver over t6 the' above mentioned depot and procured their bag-, cage, which embraced three large bags, and had it conveyed to my house r When it reached there it was placed in one corner of the dining-room, being the spac4 usually ap propriated for that purpose. After breakfast was over and the baggage Was placed away, the father (said Michael Pawelski) came to me and said he had no money and could not pay hiB bill; the boarding bill was eight dollars, transportation of family and baggage from depot to my house was two dollars, and two dollars cash loaned, making a total of twelve dollars, which is yet nnpaid. He at the same time remarked, always speak ing in broken German or Prussian-Polish, which I could somewhat understand, that he wanted work for his family, and would like t get them places, to which I responded that I did not think I could aid the whole of them in obtaining places, but I would do the best I .could. I then went to attend to my ordinary business leaving the family in the house, occupying their time the best tley could. , In the course of that very same luoroing a very respectable gentleman, a substantial farmer, residing at Bridgeport, or near there in Gloucester county, in the State of New Jersey, by the name of Thomas G. Borden, came in to see me, and as I have from time to time furnished holp, both farm bands and servant people, for housework, be fore, he asked me if I could help him with a servant girl. He said he only wanted one. I told him I had two girls who wanted work, and mentioned the circumstances, of the arrival of this family, and that the girls I wanted the places for were the daughters of this Michael Pawelbki: he then saw the girls end said he would take them both home with him, and would do what would be right by them after he seen what they could do; he said he thought if he could not keep them both he could furnish a home for one of them with his neighbor, a Mr. Elmer Cooper, who owned and occupied a neighboring farm; the father, the mother, and also the whole family were present with Mr. Borden, as at my interview stated, consented and seemed to Borden in my pre- . the arrangement, be pleased with it Mr. sence handing the father his address; the girls snook bands with tne other members of the family, there was a little crying at the idea of the separation, but they mutually wished each other good-by; then the two girls left that day (July 8) in the morning, and my wife furnished a good dinner for the remain ing members of the Fawelski family, without any change whatever; about two or three weeks or more before that occasion, was called upon by a man named Mayer or Meierer, residing somewhere near Chesapeake City, Suffolk county, Maryland, and asked if I could fur nish a family to do work on a farm; recollect ing this I stated it to Michael Pawelski, and said I thought if he (the farmer) could not accommodate them all, he might aid them, or those who would be left out, with homes perhaps close by; the family agreed to go; I gave the father a letter to Mr. Mayer or Meierer (l do not now recollect tne exact name), and had them conveyed in my own wagon and with my driver to the steam propeller running down . the Delaware river to the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, making stoppages somewhere near Chesapeake City; this was all X know of that part ot the family which took the steamer; I have since occa sionally heard from the two girls through Mr. Borden, and believe the girls nave comfort able homes, one with Mr. Borden and the other with a neighbor of his, and believe they both give satisfaction to this time, after the lapse of about two months subsequent to the above occasion; Michael Pawelski and his wife both . called . upon me . and asked me if I would give up their bag gage, at least two of . their bags, to them leaving the other or third of the bags, as security for the twelve dollars owing by them to me, as they were going West, which I declined doing until they paid the bill, telling them at the same time that if they had money enough to go West they had money enough to pay my bill; then they left and I have not heard from them since. X have seen the statement contained in the newspapers, said to have been sworn to by Michael Pawelski and his wife before one Louis Riedt, , notary public of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; have read it in the German news papers, Hie Jireei'ress of this city, and do assert that so far as my association with the family referred to is concerned, it is utterly untrue. henry Klohr. Sworn and subscribed before me' this VlHt day of February, a. v. isto. uamkl m. -ox. Mayor of FliUadelplua. Josephine Rath being duly sworn, did de pose and say I am a widow lady; I reside No. 1228 Day street, in the Eighteenth ward of the city of Philadelphia; I am the sister-in-law of John Meyer, farmer, residing about one mile and a half from (J nesapeake (Jity, in Suffolk county, Maryland; I frequently visit my said brother-in-law, and was there in July last, and on my arrival there I found six members of the Pawelski family on the farm. residing ' ' with my brother- in-law; there were j the father and mother, and four children; I mean to say that I believe Mrs. Pawelski was the step mother. Whilst I was at the farm, Mr. Meyer obtained situations for Michael (tho father) and a young man, not a son, who came with them down there, with a neighbor ing farmer, one Mr. Allen. I at that time spent two weeks there, during which time I observed the mother and the children did work for my sister, Mrs. Meyer, and when I left they still continued there. I made another visit to Mrs. Meyer's farm in the month of August, also, ; of lust year. I found the various membera of the Tawelski " family at work or located as they were on my leaving on my last visit, and after staying there a day j or two I left and returned home; and in the latter part of the Bame month I made a third visit to Mr. Meyer's, and found thut, of the Tawelski family, the father, the mother, and the two smallest children had left the neighborhood, terminated the engagement,! and started, as was supposed, for Wisconsty some two or three days before my arrival, j and my ; sister informed me that, in the course of their pre paration for leaving, she had f hrpished articles nf ffinA tivr thom to sustain them on the wav tlireethen Btill remained behind and with vrv.lw f:tha member- ,,f " - ' Pawclxki family, a girl named Elizabeth and a boy named John; I remained on that third visit with Mr. Meyer's family about oh week, and left thelast named children still remain ing with Mr. Meye on my return from there; on the Wednesday next before last Christmas day, Mr. Meyer and Elizabeth Pawelski came up to the "City and made me a visit, making my houne their home during their stay here; FJizabeth PaWelskl on, Christmas day left my house and mado ' a r Visit to her sisters Augustina ' and Annie,', residing ' near Bridgeport, one with Mr. Borden, the other with Mr. Cooper; she (said Elizabeth) came back to my house on the next succeeding Tuesday, expressing herself very highly pleased with the visit to her sisters, and had left them in good health and very much con tented. Elizabeth loft roe the next day (Wed nesday), and went down home again meaning to Mr. Meyer's on my last visit to Mr. Meyer's in the latter part of August Elizabeth Pawelski gave me the address on a piece of paper of Mr. Borden, near Bridgeport, where ber two sisters were located, which address on the paper was given to her by her father (Michael). After my return home during the month of Septem ber I had a friend named Pntzel (Mr. B. L. Putzel) to write a letter for me to Mr. Bor den, saying that John and Elizabeth Pawelski would like to Red their sisters. The letter is hereto appended and marked "A." The reason I asked the favor of Mr. Putzel to write for me was because whilst I write in German, I am not good in writing in English. Mr. Bor den, in response to that letter, brought both of the girls (Augustina and Annie) up to the city; they were brought to my husband'B uncle's, Jacob Shoemaker, residing in Edward street, and when I learned they were there I went to see them. Lizzie and John Pawelski did not come to the eity whilst their two sisters were here. They seemed contented, and on being apprised by me that their parents had gone out West, they were very willing to return to Mr. Bor den's and Mr. Cooper s again, and they left the city the next day. Elizabeth Pawelski, when she was in the city at Christmas time. after ber return from her sisters, spoke to me about the baggage which had been left at Mr. Klohr's. She said that on her mother's leaving Mr. Meyer's she left word with her to raise the money to pay Mr. Klohr's bill for board and other expenses, when they first came to i'hiladelphia, obtain the baggage and forward it to Milwaukee; that she had talked the matter over with her sisters, and they had agreed that they wouldn't do it, saying that the aiticies were not nt to use any more. having remained so long at the hotel, and they wouldn t do it anyhow, as Mrs. Pawelski was not their right mother, but only a step mother, ana had not used them right any how. My mother (Mrs. Stevens) resides within a quarter of a mile of Mr. Meyer's farm. She was up to see me about three weeks since, and spoke of Elizabeth and John I'awelski, that they were well and at Mr, Meyer s place yet. This is all I know about it, Josephine Rath.
