RECORDS OF PENSIONERS.
Full Military and Medical History
Required of Applicanta Under the
Disability Ant of June, 1800.
Commissioner Lochreu, of the Pension
Bureau at Washington, issued an orde. di
recting that hereafter in making call upon
the War and Navy Departments, for infor
mation regarding the aervice of applicant
for pensions under tbe Disability act of
I-jne 27, 1890, a request shall be made for a
full military and medical history of the sol
iier. Hitherto these calls have asked only for
the dates of the soldier's enlistment ami
discharge. This new order is important,
from the fact that tt shows a purpose on tht
part of tbe pension officials to make a mort
leurching inquiry than formerly into the
causes of tbe applicant's disability, and as
certain from official sources whether it may
not have resulted from his own vicious
habits. This information is material, as
under the act of June 27, 1800, sucb appli
cant are specifically barred from receiving
pensions.

know', there was no poison administered to
the men in the Homestend mill. Uallagh
tr t confession was written by himself and
(worn to before a 'Squire. Davidson's was
given verbally In the presence of witness
es.
L. K. Torter, who ws Dempsey' attor
ney, Is one man who never believed him
guilty, and ever since the trial he has been
gathering evidence in hit favor. About lix
weeks ago he got a letter from Gallagher in
which he asked Mr. Porter to call at the
prison, as he desired to make a statement.
Mr, Porter called a week or to later and In
the presence of Warden Edward 8. Wright
and Squire White, Gallagher and Davidson
told their (lories.
Gallagher said the secret was killing him.
and to relieve his own mind he wanted to
make a lull confession. He had it written
out and 'Squire White swore lilin to it.
Davidson's verbal statement was simply a
corroboration of Gntlogher's. Mr. Porter,
with the consent of Thomas M.Marshall and
W. J. Drennen, who were associated with
him in the case, gave out the substance of
the conlession, suppressing only the names
of the men who Gallagher says were in the
plot to send Dempsey to prison. Mr. I'ortct
reaii, in suosiani e. us iouows Horn Galla
gher's written confession, which he showed
wus properly signed and attested:

They got me drunk and prepared a confes

if I attempted to get away I would be shot.
