Hery P. Ingham, charged In the.
amp manner ajs h Im lav partner, ex-1
tssistant United Slates Dlstrift At- i
orney Harvey K. Kewitt, with having
conspired to bribe a secret service op-
eratlve to divulge secrets of the bu
reau that would Insure those engaged '
In defrauding the government protec- j
tlon from arrest. Mr. Ingham was
taken before Commissioner Edmunds. ;
who held him in $10,000 bail for a !
bearing today. The bail was furnished
nd Ingham appeared before' the com-1
tnlssioner ngain today, with Newltt,
fnd the casea were continued until 1
'hursday, the same ball being ac-!
tepted In both cases.
Chief Wilkle and Chief Burns ar- i
rived here late last night from Lancas-
tor with Deputy Internal Revenue Col- i
lector Downey in their custody. The j
was
United States Marshal Foster. Dow
ney was arrested In Lancaster yester
day, and being unable to furnish $10.--000
bail was brought to this city. He
has made a complete confession.
Chief Wilkle said to a reporter That
Downey had received between $900
and $1,500 from Jacobs as compensa
tion to keep the latter tniormed of the
movements of the secret servieo men.
"On Oct. 10 last," the chief said
"Downey called at Jacobs' office. The j
latter noticed that something was
wrong with the revenue officer, and
asked him what was the matter with
him. Iciwney Informed him that he
was In financial trouble and did not
know how he could get out of it. Then
Jacobs offered to loan Downey $100.
The latter accepted the offer and vol
unteered to keep Jacobs informed of
what the government officials were do
ing, Downey knowing that Jacob3 was
defrauding the government. From that
time on Downey frequently 'touched'
Jacobs for various amounts. The last
money paid to Downey was on April
17, when Jacobs gave hlra $800."
In rej.-ird to the aire3t of Ingham
Chief WMkle would not say much. "All
I can sa Is this," he said, "that Jacobs
ard the rest of the gang wanted to get
lnsid" Information from the secret ser
vice men In this city. Ingham and
Newltt were formerly United States at
torney and knew much of the Inside
work .-iigs of the government. Jacobs
knew this and approached them cau
tiously, but he Anally got there.
v "Triese arrests are the last that will
"be made In connection with this case,
unless there Is more in It than
we know of now. I am perfectly sat
isfied with the result of our year's
work. In results It was the greatest
capture ever made by the secret ser
vice. Taylor and Bredell Bad already
put Into circulation bogus $100 treas
ury notes to the amount of $10,000. and
Jacobs and Kendlg had placed coun
terfeit stamps on boxes containing be
tween 40,000,000 and 50,000,000 cigars.
The loss to the government from the
cigar stamps alone will amount to
about $140,000." ,'. . H
The first arrests In this case were
made on Tuesday of last week, when
Arthur Taylor and Baldwin S. Bredell
were arrested In this city. They are
the engravers of the famous "Monroe
head" $100 sliver certificate, first dis
covered a year ago, which was such an
excellent counterfeit that many gov- !
ernment experts were deceived. They
are also the engravers of the counter
felt revenue stamps used by the Lan
caster cigar manufacturing firm of Ja
cobs & Kendlg.
The two latter, William M. Jacobs
and William U Kendlg, were arrested
ut Lancaster last Wednesday, together
with their foreman, James Burns, and
two bookkeepers. The bookkeepers
were released, but Jacobs was held In
$45,000 ball and Kendlg and Burns In
$35,000 each. Kendlg secured ball, but
the latter two are in the Eastern peni
tentiary. The officials took possession of the
Lancaster factories of Jacobs & Kendlg
and attached their bank account. They
captured in Lancaster a large number
of counterfeit plates, and more coun
terfeit paper than Is owned by tho
government. The firm had a plant for
manufacturing counterfeit paper.
Another sensational arrest was made
In this city last Tuesday night. Harvey
K. Newltt, formerly assistant district
attorney, was taken in on a charge of
bribing Detective McManus to "let up"
on Jacobs. Mr. Newltt furnished $15,
000 ball. He protests his innocence,
as does ex-Dlstrlct Attorney Ingham.
It Is stated here that enough coun
terfeit stamps were captured by the
detectives in Lancaster to cover 440,
000,000 cigars. As near as can be
learned about $140,000 worth of bogus !
itamps have been used on cigars thus
far sent out from Lancaster.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.
Terrii)ii Fnt of n Negro Murderer
nnd iinvixiiiT tn Geortrla,
Newnan, Ga.. April 24. In the pres
ence of nearly 2,000 people who sent
aloft yells of defiance and shouts of
Joy, Sam Hone, a negro who commit
ted two of the basest acts known to
crime, was burned at the stake on the
road one nnd one-half miles from here
yesterday. Before tho torch was ap
plied to me pyre me negro was ue
prlved of his ears, fingers and other
portions of his anatomy. The negro
pleaded pitifully for his life while the
mutilation was going on, but stood the
ordeal of fire with Surprising fortitude.
Before the body was cool it was cut to
pieces, the bones were crushed into
small bits -nnd even tho tree against
which the wretch met his fate was torn
up and disposed of as souvenirs. The
negro's heart was cut In several pieces,
as was also his liver. Those unable to
obtain the ghastly relics direct paid
their more fortunate possessors ex
travagant sums for them.
When the mob was leading Hose to
hi3 doom ex-(overnor Atkinson made
an appeal for respect of the law, de
claring that some of the lynchers were
known to him, and that he would cer
tainly testify n gainst them. His ap
peal was unheeded.
Before being put to death Hose ad
mitted killing Farmer Crnnford, but
denied outraging Mrs. Cranford. He
declared that he had been paid $12 by
"Lige" Strickland, a negro preacher
at Palmetto, to commit the murder.
Today a mob caught Strickland and
hanged him. He died protesting Inno
cence, Strickland's body, too, was
mutilated for "souvenirs."

s.-n-i Relieves That h Great Fraud
u i. i a Crime Baa Been Committed.
Washington, April 25. The Wade
court of Inquiry appointed to investi
gate the allegations made by Major
General Miles in his testimony before
the war investigating commission con
cerning the meat furnished the army
during the late war with Spain he'.u
Its last open session yesterday, and la
now engaged upon the preparation of
Its report. The court has beon In ses
Its report.
Yesterday the court decldod not to
accept a report made by Lieutenant
Colonel Darlington, of the Inspector
general's office. This report had been
transmitted to General Miles through
Inspector General Breckenrldge. The
report of General Darlington covers
about 80 typewritten pages, and gnes
exhaustively Into the report! made by
officers ami men, without drawing any
general conclusion.
At the afternoon session Major Lee.
who had been Major Ge.iernl Miles'
representative before the board, sum
med up for his side of the OBSo. Re
corder Davis read brief reports from
General Brockenrldgo, the Inspector
general, and also from two of hie
subordinates, Major Philip Reade ai d
Lieutenant C lonol Darlington, as to
the result of their Individual work nnd
observations. General Breckinridge
condemned the canned beef r tlou, . a i,
(-peeking generally, s;:id that While tho
army ration fulfilled alone the scien
tific requirement nf food values, its
component parts should be oh ingi .1 in
meet the new conditions of servic e. As
the ration was tixod by law, this was
a matter for congress to remedy, He
also suggested thai articles required
by sick and convalescent soldiers
should be added. Major Reade's ro
port wps mainly devoted to the lack
of certain camp equipment among cer
tain roglmcnte, and that of Colonel
Darlington to the result of his per
sonal Inspection of the various ( imps
of the country.
Tho court then decided that if any
of the depositions for which General
Miles had called should be received
prior to the completion of the report of
the board they should be admitted ns
evidence, subject to the board's limita
tions. Major Leo then summed up the cane,
disclaiming al the OUtael that he WAS
acting as counsel for Major General
Miles In a technical sense, and adding
that he had been there simply to pre
sent and elicit evidence. He lead hie
argument from carefully prepared
manuscript, and was given careful at
tention by the three members of the
court ."ml the reorder, no one else
being preset.; except the representa
tives of the press. He declared that
the evidence showed conclusively that
the beef furnished the troops in Flor
ida, Cuba and Porto Rico bad been
chemically treated to Insure its keep
ing the specified contract time, that It
was perfd tly practicable to have land
ed beef cattle with the armies at all
points, and proceeded:
"There was no necessity for de
parture from the army travel ration,
which has I n found perfectly satis
factory. Instead of supplying the
troops during this war, as other ar
mies 1. ,ve been supplied, with whole
some I km (of which there was an In
exhaustible supply in the country),
there was gathered UP all of the can
ned food possible, much of which had
been stored for years in tho ware
houses of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road, m other places and in foreign
storehouses, and falsely labeled 'prime
roast beet,' when there was not an
ounce of roast beef and, we believe,
not an ounce of prime beef contained
In the cans.
"We believe that a groat fraud has
been perpetrated upon the government
and a great crime committed upon iti
soldiers, and as to the party or parties
who had committed this offense, and
whether the evidence should be refer
red to the Judicial officers of the gov
ernment, In order that justice shall ho
done, are matters that we leave to the
consideration of your honorable court."
Major Lee's statement consumed
about an hour, and when he concluded
with the statement that the members
of the board must decide whether the
great fraud and great crime which he
believed had been committed should
be carried before the courts, Recorder
Davis arose and said simply: "I sub
mit the case to the board without ar
gument." Novel Suit For Dfininirex.

Philadelphia, April 24. The Jury In
( the Quay case returned a verdict of not
guilty last Friday, and within an hour
afterward Governor Stone appointed
! M. S. Quay to the seat in the national
I senate left vacant by the failure of
! tho state legislature to elect a suc
cessor to Mr. Quay, whoso term as sen
ator expired on March 4.
When the verdict acquitting Senator
Quay was announced there was almost
an uproar in the court, but it was sup
pressed by vigorous cries of "silence. '
Out In the corridor an Indescribable
scene followed. A groat burst of cheer
ing rent the air, hats went up and tho
hurrahs echoed and re-echoed. People
rushed pell mell toward Quay, grasped
bis hands und ejaculated congratula
tions In all sorts of words. There was
an ovation, which no effort was made
to restrain.
! Nothing has ever been seen In this
city like the demonstration on the
street that greeted the silent man as
he left the city hall. Then the crowd
broke loose. With one wild yell they
formed around him, grasped his
hands, screamed, waved their hats and
1 threw them high above their hoads.
- Quay's shoulders were gripped, his
: back was slapped, his coat caught hold
, of, until It looked as if ho would suffer
I from the mad enthusiasm that gave
J itself full vent.
There are mnny differing opinions
- us to the right of Governor Stono to
fill tho vacancy in the senate. Dlscuss-
1 lng this question Senator Botes Pen-
i rose declares the governor's action
perfectly legal, and Insists that the
appointment will be sustulned by the
I national senate. Kx-Postmaster Gen-
