JUSTICE WALSH'S BARGAIN. Temporary Freedom for ITIrs. Ford Cheap at 1,000. Ellen Ford, the old woman who is accused of stealing sixty four yards of silk from a counter in Liebmann store on Jlonday last, was held for the action of the grand jury this morning by Justice Walsh. The officer who arrested her and tho Liebmanns' silk buyer were the only witnesses.

One testified that he saw her pick up tho silk and tho other swore that the fabric was worth 75 cents a yard. Jlrs. Ford's lawyer, a man who wore remarkably fine clothes, and ber married daughter were in court. The lawyer did not interpose any defence, but asked the officer if Mrs. Ford appeared to have been di nking when arrested.

He received a negate answer. Then counsel asked the magistrate to iu.ee the bail, which had been fixed at '0. 'to 15 this to say about this case, judge," said lawyer. "'This woman comes of a re frj)" tabk family, her daughter has given her a comfortable home and is well ablo to support, her. Ther does not seem to be any motive for her action and I do not think she was responsible at the time.

It is a very great punishment to keep this prisoner in jail, and I would ask you to reduce the amount of bail. Her people are perfectly responsible and would produce her whenever tho authorities asked for her." Justice Walsh cut down the ball asked to $1,000 and seemed to think that temporary freo dom at that amount was a decided bargain. He suggested that if her friends wanted anything cheaper in tho way of bail they might apply to District Attorooy Ridgway. Ha may have something to offer in tho samo lino at a much lower figure. BELIEVES HIS FATHER WAS MURDERED.

Daniel O'SuHivan'n Son Finds a Watch in a Ci.tern. Daniel O'Sullivan, of Koslyn is very indignant over the verdict of the coroner's jury to the effect that his father committed suicide. He says his stop mother murdered the old man and has set to work to prove it. Yesterday O'Sullivan found his father's watch in the cistern on the farm. He says tho watch had been taken from O'Sullvan's pocket at tho samo time tflo $90, the proceeds of his last trip to market, was taken.

The young man went to Jamaica this morning to lay his case before District Attorney Flemming. Many of the Koslyn people believe with O'Sullivan that his father was murdered. They are at a loss to account for the action of thecoronGrinconeltiding the inquest beforo taking the evidence of the New 1'ork expert, to whom the stomach of tho dead man had been sent for examination. Jlrs. O'Sullivan left town immediately upon learning that the jury had found a verdict of suicide and her whereabouts are unknown.

Sullivan says ho has also ascertained that Alexander Hook, the woman's first husband, is not dead. so jenr trial will be necessary. The trial of the suit brought by tho board of health of the town of Islip, Suffolk county, against Governor Flower and others has been set down for hearing before Justice Cullen on November 15. Tho action is to enjoin the defendants from using Fire island as a quarantine station. Counsel have agreed upon a statement of factB, and a jury will not, therefore, be necessary.

Flatbush People Do Not Take to Illegal Taxes. It Is Claimed That Something Like $5,000 is Missing and That There is No Record of How It Was Spent A Committee of Town Residents Will Lay the Facts Itcforo tho District Attorney. Tho citizens of Flatbush were aroused to a appreciation of the manner in which the ring of that town conduct its affairs by the article which was published in tic F.aole on Saturday regarding the mistake made in the tax levy for lX'Jl. A meeting was held in the evening by some of the more prominent citizens and a committee was appointed to investigate tho story and sec if there had been anything done by the town officials for which they could be called to give nu iiivouiiting. Captain W.

E. C. Mayer ami James F. Graham, members of that committee, were seen to day by an Eahle reporter to learn how far their investigation hud progressed. They said that so far they hud gone carefully over the town records, the supervisor's records, and the records of the county treasurer ami thought they had learned suilleiuut to warrant their laying the facts bef.jro the district attorney.

Captain JIayer said: "This morning 1 was talking to Tax Collector Williamson and he told me that befor the annua! tax levy was confirmed Clerk Cadley discovered the error and went to him and asked what he should do about it. They decided to send for Supervisor I.ynani of Fhitbush, and when he wa.s told about the mistake, he said: guisswe can upend that money for something When the levy was eonilnned, Jlr. Williamson says, the error was known. Now. where we ilrst came to something which u'e could not explain was in the interview with Chief Clerk Cadley which tho Eaoli: published, where he said: Lyiiaiu said it was a good thing ns tho extra money was needed for, a purpose lorwhieh no provision had been mado in the tax levy, namely, the town election expense for IMI'0.

amounting, with interest, to about .4. 000. and for which a note had been given to a trust company." Tiie record of the raising of the money on the noto is as follows in the minutes of the town clerk: At a moetingof the supervisor, justice of the peace and town clerk of the town of Flatbush. held at the town hall on the 17th day of December, to raise money to cover the expenses of th last general election, present William JI.

page 1 continued Jlr. JIayer. "there appears a report of the committee on special and local taxes, directing the clerk of the board to add 100 for election expenses for the year 18'JO in the town of Flatbush. It was levied nn.l a warrant was issued, and Supervisor Lynam gavo a receipt as follows: Fi.ATitcsit, December 10, lsno. Received from Adrian C.

Williamson, collector, the sum of SHOO, for the expenses of election in said town, as per collector's warrant. William JI. Ltsam. "Record of this sum also appears upon the assessment roll and the collections. Thus far it is seeu that the election expenses had been n.KlG.2'J, as raised by the note, iJl.

lOO as raised by the tax levy, which Supervisor Lynam is said to have told Clerk Cadley did not take, place. This seems a goodly figure, but in the tax budget for 1891 there is one item of deficit for election expenses In the year making the total election expenses JS.sniO. In the resolution of the town board, which had according to law, no right to audit the expenses 'or the general election, it says tho total cost of the election was the amount of the note. and that its payment be provided for in the payment of the tax levy of 1HU1. In the levy of lS'Jl there is no mention of thai sum, nor is there any rovisioi: for it.

Hut we find a receipt for the payment of the note in the county treasurer's office. When: did that money come from? We can see no other explanation than that the illegal tux collected was used for that purpose. "This sum of 001 is nil accounted for by vouchers as the sum actually spent for the election, but of the sum or ill.slli.'JO which was raised upoD the note given to the People's trust company there is no record at all. That, is what we waul to llnd out. For the election of 1X1)1, there was appropriated 5,000 and the vouchers show an expenditure of cS.iUO, so that There should be a balaice from that year also.

Figuring from the amounts which have been credited to the election account and the vouchers which are on fllo there ought to be a credit account of Sl.iiOO for bs91 and S3.SI6.2U for lS'JO. Instead, there is no balance md 84,000 has been asked for tho expenses of tho present year. "All money for county towns passes through the hands of thesupervisurofthetown. We think that Mr. Lynam should give an accounting.

I went to ex Town Clerk F. McK. Gloasnu this morning and askeel him if then' were any records from Supervisor Lynam regarding the expenditures of the town "money during 1SII0, and he sal'l he did not think there had over been any detailed statement A FUGITIVE CONVICT UECAPTCRED.
