His Letter Only Puts Him in the Way of Prosecution for BriberyInterviews with Air. Connell and Detec tive Barring. Dr. N. C. Mackey, member-elect from the Thlid lcclshitlve distilct of this eounty, jesterday published a letter to the effect that William Connell had laid down ceitaln conditions upon which ho might escape arrest for bilb ery. The alleged conditions were: That he must abandon Wanamaker and biippoit Pentose. That he must bay ho took money to entiap Wnnumaher. That he must l of und the $1,250 which ho leeehed thiough J. N. Tlllard fiom the AVunamaker headquaiters. Mr. Connell, when seen yesterday, &ald; "The one item of tiuth in Dr. Mackey'.s asseitlons is that I advised him, for his own bake and for the bake of his family, to letiiin the money. I beem to have ein d In my deMie to ren der it possible for him to ebcape ex posuie. The couits will now have to decide whither he or I Is the better woithy of belief." MR. BARRING TALKS. Ex-Maishal Bailing yesterday said: "When the Van Vnlkenbuig case was tin own open, Mr. Connell eame to me, knowing that Mackey was concerned, and begged me to save the man, as Mackey would be mined if bis connec tion with hilbeiy would come out. I demuiied and told him Mackey should be tried and convicted. However, I consulted over the wlie with one of our clients and was told toiespect Mr. Cou ncil's wishes in the matter and give Mackey a chance, if possible. 'At my suggestion then, Mr. Connell sent for him. At the interview be tween Mr. Connell and Mackey I took the piecautlon to have somebody pres ent, unseen by Mackey, who oveiheaid the conveisatlon. I Knew who was handling Mackey and who would egg him on to defy us. Mr. Connell made no fui titer lequest of Mackey than to stand by a foimer pledge and stay by Quay's candidate. lie also advised that ho ilmp the Wanamaker people entliely and give up the money either hand it to him (Mi. Connell) or place it with the Bailing & McSweeney agency and take a lecelpt It Is utteily un true that Mi. Connell suggested to Mackey to lie out of the case as best ho could. Mackey will be ai tested and we will prove him to be a bilbe taker w ithout a doubt."
