In the course of his talk wl h h*' Vlorr.ittff News rei*>rter bn made s me mt* t* sting atalcmcnts of f.ct and opinion tearing upon the case. "When we found out from Judge Brown's decision," said Mr. Krwin, "that it would by necessary for us to make proof of prohubl* <-au*e of guilt of the ii*eused. Ix fore the commissioner in New V'ork. in order to secure their removal to Savannah. I determined to do this thoroughly, so that there could l*e neither cavil nor well-founded objection to the application for the grant of the warrant of removal. "I think this has been done.
