A Damao, Busot.s.wv.—A most daring
robbery was perpetrated at the residence of
an old man named Me!choir Schultz, residing
in Washington. township ) Berks county, on
Friday last i the 21st inst.` rhe dwelling
of Mr. Schultz was entered by three men, who
unlocked the door,andjhen proceeded dir4t
ly up Sabi to the chatiTher where the owner
and his wife slept, walked in, and rousedlilie
sleeping ;couple. One of the lnirglari, ias
armed with a pistol/another with an :axe
handle, and the third carried a light. The
intruders informed Mr. Schultz that they came
after his money, which they were bound to
have, but, if they showed where it was and
made no iesistallte t no harm should be done
them.' Being unarmed and unable to oppose
theril, ho, complied with their demands, and
gave them MUM had. $lBO. ,They also took a
watch that ws.S . hanging in the room, but on
being told it was prized as a flintily relic, they
handed it back, .Henry Stihultz 1 a son of the
old man, Who lived 'll another, part of the
house, heard the noise, and east to see ' what
was wrong, when a pistol was presented et his

; • .
' Mn. Aisixtistsff : In a Preliminary heaping

present a one.sided. view of the case, with-'
out the defendants being alloived to heir .a

such a hearing is well known, . We'prefer tp

investigation of till;the facts in thiii,entie by
a Court and Jury. ' At the right-timeand lie
fore tho pioper tribunal wq Ann show: that
this is a prosecution of indn entirely lima:
cent of the charge brought against' theni, the,
infamy or which is only exceeded by its ali t
Lurdity, . G. W. Alexander, the late Asses
sor for this district, and Rio prosecutor in
this case,lignoinfilionslydisidtssed ft.* his
office, and standing upon the records tot' the
Treasury Department charged with the high
est crimes and the most 11 grant'otlieial cor
reption, endeavors ,to div„ peblic Mien :
tion from his 'own guilt, by 'ns tuting o pros
milieu against a large n er 'id' en - on
charges whichiwill be proven to be isinton,
malicious, end utterly groundless.ss , '
The general charge of the' prosecutes is,
that the defendants conspired to, procure
his removal from o ffi ce. With this removal,
Many of them had no-possible connection,
and others barely took that Part in it which
their duty as officerof' the Government re•
quired. We shall
,defy the prosecutor to
( 11
show that any on noted with malice . ;—on
i
the contrary, if flips° was an error, ,i t was
i
on the side of forbearanees: Bo sunny am
embraced' in this absurd charge l of conspiracy
that the defense will necessarily involve ,a
„ .
number of facts.
It will be shown that, GAY - . Alexander was
through* grossly incompetent for the du
ties of his place. That he rievor beenniane
, quaiiited with the acts of Codgiess, was ig
norant of riccounts,untible to write:a respec
table Or intelligible letter, that his !manage- .
silent of till; °Mee involved oreatly increased
expense, and that his utter unfitnesS soon .
became so apparent,' that the' Treasury De
partment long since 'contemplated sending a
clerk to take ohdrge of' the office until a fit
• s
successor could be appointed,
It will by shoWn that instead of attending
to the-duties of his office, both ho and his fa
vorite friends and assistants,proffaud Dior
.et, gave their principal attention to discover- '
big and inventing frauds upon the revenue
which would insure to them the moieties al
lowed to Wonders. That through the most
flagrant perjury of some of these men; inno
cent distillers near Hamburg, Borkkounty,
were convicted of sin alleged fraud upon the
revenues and ruined. That not satisfied with
this slow method of adding to their official
income,' G. W. Alexander, Groff, and Moret
made diSect proposals to a number of distil
lers in this county,to unite in defrauding the
revenue', .phis proposal was, that less than
ono-third of the whisky Thstilled should . be
reported for taxation.' That on, the rothain
.der, thirty cents per gall n. should ;he paid,
to Alexander; Groff and lileret; 'one-half of
this to be the share of Alexander, and to
other half to be divided between his Me
confederates. To maketthis practicable to.,
distillers, it was proposed to them that their '
tri-mouthlyreturns should be taken out of the •
hands of the' division assessors to whom the
duty of receiving these proPorly belonged,and
that they should pass through the hands of
Alexander, isoff or Morel who would certify
to their bein sworirtoovitlsout any oath hav
ing been in act made by the distiller. To'
? t
induce disti less to accede to this plan,' they
were septet cdly called upon by Alexander,'
Groff and oret s and its feasibility and pro
fitableness strongly urged. • •
In pursu nee of this plan in one instance,'
at the aug estion of Alexander, and under
his person 1 superintendence, a reservoir
was consist eted under the floor of a rectify
ing house, capable of containing three thou
sand gallons of whisky. The opening to this
was hr the floor of the rectifying house,
which opening . was carefully concealed.
Alexander—advised the construction 'ofthis
reservoir - and saw it while being manufac
tured. Ho afterwards visited it, when it
was nearly filled with whiskey, gauged its
contents, with a :stick, pronounced the,
arrangement complete, and suggested the
propriety of constructing another reservoir,'
of the same sort, after this one-was filled.
,For the whiskey so abstracted he (Alexander)
was paid the sum of one thousand dollars in
cash, and when asked to pay an old debt'
'out of' the proceeds,. he replied that, the'
money must he devoted to paying debts of
honor due to friends whom he named, who
had advanced money to procure his appoint
ment. .
It will be further s proved that after this ,
arrangement, Alexander became very appret
~ hensive.that the distillers might cheat—not
'the government—but hiMself, and .that lie
repeatedly visited distilleries, which, lie had
nover s rifitted before to ascertain the quantity
of whiskey they were Making, being
perfectly aware at' the time, that they.
were not returning one-third of the quantity
, made. -It will be shown that he Set about•
cheating his confederates, suggesting that .
one-halt to them was too, much. False re
turns were made to them by Alexander, as
to the money he realised. In illustration of
which it will be proved, that when the one
thousand dollars were paid to Alexander,
by his procurement -but four hundred and
fifty dollars were paid to Groff, which ho
(Groff) was made to believe was the whole
amount realised, and of which Alexander
was also to receive one-lia)f.
In•addition to these srns, other Tecounts
were paid by other disti ers. ' .
When these and other f acts became known
to the Government , Midi Alexander,: Groff
and Moret ageortnined thnt an investigation
had taken place,'they and some of their in
timate friends became greatly alarmed; held
frequent secret consultations, stated a de
termination to swear their case throughsiml
expressed great solicitude.ai to whether the
distillers would stand - Arai. One 'of them
stated that if all the Parties would•stand
together, ' they could swear theinselves
through. ,
. Warrants having been issued for the ap
prehension eAlexaeder, Groff and.Moref,
( if
the two liit,t r absconded, and the Govern
m&it of fi cerS, after, the most diligent kffortsit
have been nable to-arrest them. G. W.
Alexander, 'by way of defense, institutes a
prosecution against 'all whom hnilliPPcms'
had any knowledgeofhisdaings, and against
some who bad no knowledge whatever upon'
the subject, in the hope of diverting publie
attention or closing their months as witnesses
againtit him. It is the old trick of the felon,
who rushingfrom thescene.of his depresla
.
tions with the stolen property in his posses
sion, is the fi rst and londetit to cry, "stop
thief!" - , • ' '
