COUGHS SrArEMENr.-Every body is rdculing
and laughing at the statement made by Cough and
his hackers and supporters, from the Rev. David
Hale down to the lowest rank in the Tabernacle -
His story about meeting with stranger and going
to Chatham street, and getting glass of some cor
dial there Is generally regarded as gross fabrica-
ton. No one IN fact believes 1t, The original sto-
ry put forth by his friends, and told by himself. was
THAI he went into Murray or Warren street, and
there got the fatal drauaht of soda water but as il
has turned out that soda water establishment Mt was
IN either OF these localities, he turns about with the
coolest impudence in the world, and gives the shop
aocaton in Chatham street.


ltwould be much better for Cough, if, instead of
all his whining, he were to come to the truth at
once, and state that he went deliberately, and of his
own accord, and from his own impulses, into a
grocery store in Walker street, took " stiff
horn" OF brandy and water there, and then lust as
deliberately went on a GO spree" into house of bad
reputatlon-that he left on Saturday morning, and
changed his clothes-and that he returned and re-
NAMED there week. There is every probability.
from the arrangements that he made, leaving shirt
stained with blood in the house where he had re-
NAMED, that he intended to leave suddenly and
create the Impression that foul play had been used
against him, then keeping out of the way for con-
siderable time. The whole career of Cough down
10 his last SPREE" has been imposture from be
ginning to end, and can only bring disgrace on al
those who supported him.
