Five Experts Ma e Oath Tha Ph-lp Wrot3 the Garfield- Morey Letter , And the Forger is Held In the Sum of 35,000 , The Presidential Parby Stag ing Over the Plains of New Mexico. Garfleld's Defomer. SpodJil Dispatch to The lies. NEW YOKE , October 28 1 a. m. Xonnard Philp , who waa arrested yea terdsy for criminal liloel , in the for gery and publication of the Garfield- Morey Chinese letter , is a resident o : Brooklyn. Ho was arrested in the lobby of a theatre in that city , am waa brought across the river to New York , and conducted immediately to the polica headquarters. He was af terwards conducted down town to the district-attorney's office , where he WES confronted by E. W. Stoughton , who drew np the papers on which he was arrested , John L Davenport , ox- United States District Attorney Geo. Bliss , and others. Judge Davis was telegraphed for , and replied that he would return to the court for tha pur pose of holding jurisdiction in the case. It was stated in Davenpoit's office that it was kuown several days ago that Philp was the guilly party , aince which time ho ha- not bcon al- owed out of the sight of some oflicers of the secret service. It was , how ever , no-essary to get evidence that would lead to hia coviction , and this has taken time. The care was worked up by the detective agency estab liahod by the former superintendent of Pinkerton'a agency , and the detect ives claim that the cvilenca Is condu cive. The detectives secured posses sion of the copy of an editorial writ ten by Philp , and on one of the paijus has the name of Garfield , In which the dot was over the c , instead of the i , as in the forged letter. In several instances It was found that dots wore behind the i , instead of over or before it. There was a remarkable similarity between the writing of Philp aud the manuscript of the Garfield letter , and baviug satisfied himself that he had found the author of the letter , the detective presented his evidence to the state central committee. In the meantime Sheriff Albert Dag. ; ott , of Brooklyn , had con- : eived a suspicion of Philp. Hunting around he found an ordur .hat Philp had written , aud n com parison of which with the manuscript mtisfied him that ho nad unraveled the knot. This order was sent to the : ommiBsioners , aud all specimens of Philp's writiii- . ' , together with the 'orgod letter , wero-put into the hands of Payne , the espert-and several othera of hio profession. Their ro- jorts we'retuado separate , and were all to the effect that the man who rrota the Philp uvmuscript mmt lave beun the forger. While wait , ng { n the .district attorney a office. Philp summonedhis counsel , who are 3en. BogerA. Pryor , Ex-Surrogato Veeder , of Brooklyn , dies. Brooke and Messrs. Howe and Hammcl , the Tombs lawyers. Shortly before 3 o'clock , Philp was lakon Into the upreme court , where Judge Noah Oavis presided. The court room wai densely crowded. The prosecution TSS represented by Messrs. Stoughton , vnor , Bliss , Davenport aud Assistant Attorney Bell. The case was opened ) y Mr. Bell , who charged the prisoner vith criminal libel on Jas. A. Garfiold. On complaint of Goo. Bliss. Mr. Bell read various affidavits on which the prisoner was arrested. Hundreds of yes were in a moment directed on ? hilp. Gen Pryor asked : "Is there any occasion to read these affidavits ? " Mr. Bell said it waa necessary that ill these things be spread over tha uinutes of the court. Gen. Prior "Your honor has icard these affidavits before , LBO you would not have issued the warrants. I do not think that the time snould be consumed in going ovet them sgaln , " Mr. Brooke submitted that it was an { novation in criminal practice to ubject the prisoner to further annoy ance , when ho was prepared to waive examination and to furnish bail. Judge Davie "These papers are not. of course , to bo read as evi- ' onc'e. " Mr. Boll then again continued : "On or about the 20th of October he caused to be published in The Truth a malicious libel against James A. Garfield. " Gen. Prior hero again interposed and said , "Thero is a grand jury now n session and wo demand an imincd- ate trial. Wo respectfully submit hat thii is a right to which our client s justified in demanding. Wo are > repared to go into trial before a jury o-morrew , if necessary , and the pres ent proceeding is of no va'ue. " Judge DAVIS said that be did not understand that the prisoner had n right to insist ou waving an examin ation. Eight pages of Pnilp's manu script were produced , with the affidavits of the several experts at- achcd , to the effect that in their ppin- on Philp wrote the Garfield Chinese etter. Judge Davis dented the mo- ion to discharge the prisoner , holding hat the affidavits were sufficient , Bnd the alleged libel was of a character to bring ridicule and con- cmpt on Garfield. "After the letter lad been 'publicly denounced as a brgerv , this man denounces the man who vindicates himself as a liar , and leld him up to derision. Under the aws , as I understand them , if public levrepapera charges man with beiu a iar , f tic 11 or forger , the editor is ; uilty of a libel unless the charges ire true. " Gen. Pryor said : "Wo ara ready , o try the case at once , and are willing o waive the benefit of an examination. We know our client is innocent of the chayge and we desire a speedy trial. f the prosecution are not ready , I uriro that the court fix the amount of bail. " After some argument Judge Davis fixed the bail at 55,000. The bail was mniahed , and Mr. Philp then left the court room in company with hiacoun- eL The examination will bo con- inued at 11 o'clock to-day. It is re- > orted that when the case comes to rial , Ben. Butter will act aa senior countol for Philp. Swlnclne Around ; the Circle. Eniviil Uupatcb to Ibe B J SASTA FJJ , N. M. , October 27-10 > m.

The magnificent works of the Ansonia Clock company , in this city , were totally destroyed 4)y ) fire this morning , throwing out of employment about SCO p TSODB Tne nlnrm was first soundud u few minutes bcforo 3 o'cl.ick. The ildtmcs spread rapidly , and in a very short time the entire structure wia : in flanva and its de struction inevitable. The works oc cupied ground running from Twelfth to Thirteenth street , and half way back along the block from Eighth to Ninth avenue. The building was of brick , highly ornamental in its con struction , and five stories high. On the nor h aide of the street was a row of four buildings , occupied by the employes , and all these , with mo.it of their contents also burned. In the rear of the worka and on the east , towards the lumber yard , were the brass and iron casting chops and of thesa not a vestige remains , except charred timber and iron works.

Girfield , in answer saiu : LADIES AND GBNTLKMBN You have no idea what it Is to mo to luok upon ; his circla of friends. There has been a seed many s'mngcn in this y.ml in the last tv.ro weehfl. There are some strangers perhaps , here now , but in , his circio , all along its lno ! , there r faces that fl.wh bick to mo the nomorics of these twenty years past. Memories full of struggle , full of question , full of events , full offriend- sliip , full of victories , full of all that goes to make up the lifo and private friend ship of this Western Reserve ror the period of at leadt eighteen poara. You cannot know what strength ; t bringi to mo to SCO these friends who have stt od by net me alone , but by the cause that they believed I re presented , and have stood by it in a most useful , earnest , intelligent , Forcible and effective manner during those years. Why , I see men in this circio who in the whole of this long time have never betrayed to me by any sign or any word that they had the least purpose of their own to serve , but only the purpose to servo their country and ita best inter ests ; and that their friendship for me was largely , if not altogether , becauee they thought I was capab'o of ren dering some good service to the cause they luvcl and the country they re vored. Well , a man with such friend ship around him , and with such sup ports behind him , would bo a very poor piece of timber , indeed , if he jid not amount to something. Out of the soil of such hearts as these , out of the forces of such people ple as these , they can grow all that is iiost in our civilization and under our institutions. I know not what awaits me in the future. I never discount it so far as it relates to myeelf. I never allow myself to be elated with what msybe , nr r depressed with what might have been. I do Bay this , that [ cannnot conceive that the time can over como when the friendship of these men that are gathered In this yard to-day , can be anythiny but dear to me , and the greatest possible value in strength ening my heart and hope whatever the field may be. I thank you , gen tlemen , that out of this inclement day and with all circumstances ap parently against it , you have nade your way hero to my home , that you have formed a circle about it that will not disappear when you are gone. It will seem to me in all times to come as I stand up on this portal that a circle of my old constituents and friends have left : heir guardianship and love circling about my door , I welcome you.
