The bottle of cyanide of potassium, when seen by a reporter on Thursday night, was thick with dust. The crystals of the poison which it contained almost filled the bottle, and they were as large as a filbert. Had any been taken with the object of poisoning the old man in the manner in which he came to his death as described it.

would have been necessary to have pulverized them in order to gel them down the neck of an ordinary beer bottle. The bisulphide of mercury was in a bottle which was not mil and which had been opened with a penknife or fork instead of a cork screw. This drug is not in large crystals, hut has more the appearance of powder. It is a crystalline powder which is in the bottle of beer which the analytical chemist now has In his possession. The police now regard every bit of evidence tho; can get in the case as of the utmost importance and that is why they took possession of the poisons in th" store to day.

WHY IS NOT COAL DELIVERED? Brooklynite Who Has Investigated Finds Plenty of the Fuel Loaded on Cars. Ex Councilman Charles H. Francisco, who Is connected with the building of the new theater, on Willoughby street, has been in Phenlxville. recently, to see how far progress had been made iu the construction of the ironwork for the building. Upon his return this morning he talked interestingly upon the coal situation as it was revealed to him during his travel to and from Brooklyn and along the line of the railroad.

Mr. Francisco is the superintei new theater. He was accompai trip by Thomas D. Colin. He that there is no more need of a in Greater New York than there been had there been no strike there are thousands upon thous: of coal loaded upon coal cars ti miles of tidewater and that these cars are not stalled on side tracks because, of any stress of weather cr from accident," but from spme cause he is cot able to fathom, but about which he has strong suspicions.

"From Philadelphia to Phenix i ille is 28 miles." said Mr. Francisco this morning, "and from Phenixvllle to the. mining regicna is about. 45 miles more. We did not go Phenisville.

yet I believe that, along the line of the railroad between Phenixville and Philadelphia there are easily 5.000 coal cars, and every one of them loaded. In sonif cases the cars stand five and each car holds between 25 and 30 tons. They are all sidetracked. "What the real purpose of holding them there, when the people of this and other cities are suffering from the want of coal is. of course, not known to me: but the operators railroad managers must, hava some money making scheme in view.

I was informed at Phenixville that there are thousands of Iods sidetracked iietwecn that and the mines, which is only forty five miles away. It. would seem to me that, this state of affairs, while there is a coal famine bore that is causing great public distress, may well he worth the investigation, of a state or a congressional Committee." INTIMIDATION CHARGED. Burt Shoe Company's Officials Make Accusations in Injunction Suit Against Discharged Employes. Ex Senator Clarence E.

Lexow appeared to day before Justice Dickey, in the Supreme Court, equity term, in the injunction suit of the Edwin C. Burt Company against certain of its discharged employes, whom tho company charges with IntimSdatlon. of tho3B of its employes who wish to work. Mr. Lcxow appeared for the company.

Although the company refuses to admit that there has been a strike at its factory, at Jay and Water streets, the trial to day is the culmination of labor troubles that began early in July last. The company employs more than 150 men and women at the factory. Many of these employes were members of the Brooklyn Branch of the Inde pendent Union of Shoe Workers of "New York. The discharged employes say t.hera v.as a strike on July ft, because of an attempted cut in the wages in every branch. of the work in the factory except the Masters.

The company's officials "having decided to make certain changes In ft3 method of conducting its business." and that some of its employes refusing to conform to the It v.as necessary to discharge these employes and take on new hands. The claim was made by the company' managers that their new hands were being intimidated and that attempts were made tp coerce certain employes to stop work, and that, a patrol was established near the factory by these discharged employes and that there was interference with their work. Early in August an application was mada to Justice Dickey for an injunction restraining these persons from continuing the alleged intimidation. The basis ofthe application was an affidavit of Charle3 W. Terhuno general manager of the Burt Company, and 1h affidavits of a number of the employes, who alleged that they bad been approached by the discharged persons and intimidated.

Justice Dickoy signed a. temporary Injtlhc tion on August 13. In this proceeding the defendants were Ft. M. Osborne.

WOULD TIE UP YARD. Hundreds of BTen Ask for Several Days of Vacation at Christmas. Several hundred workmen at the Navy Yard, who are entitled to leave of absence according to naval regulations', have requested thai they be permitted to take the time the latter part of Christmas week. The demand has been so general that Lis threatened to seriously interfere with the government work. It has been necessary to refuse many requests and the of those who have not already se.vr.

od leave will be very poor. The regulation provides that all 'yearly paid men may have a day and a quarter each month, with pay. to use as they please. They may take the. time at the end of each month they may let the time accumulate and get several days of vacation.

That is what the majority of the men have been doing for the last three months and now they are anxious to take the two days following Christmas Day. The regulations say (hat the officers may refuse the leaves if they handicap the work the yard. So far as is possible the men will get the time due them and there will hundreds of them away from the yard. CHARLES B. FEET DEAD.

Plainfleld. December 10 Charles B. Peet. founder or the firm of Rogers, Peot was found dead in bed early this Temporary Insanity the Only Possible Explanation of Either Tragedy. THEODORE H.

LOGES' DEATH. Well to Do Merchant Takes His Own Life Mrs. Nelson Swallows Carbolic Acid. Two Eastern District suicides, the cause of which are difficult to explain, came to see notice of the police this morning. Theodore H.

Logos. years old, a well to do merchant, who lived with his parents at Si Ross street, ended his life some time during the night by Inhaling illuminating gas, and MrB. Mary Nelson. 19 years old, of 576 Broadway, a mother of two weeks, killed herself by swallowing a quantity or carbolic acid. The suicide of Loges is particularly a mystery, as he was apparently happy and had a profitable business.

lie lived with his parents and sister and was devoted to his family and home. Loges carried on business as a butter and egg merchant at Washington Market, and when not engaged at his work or looking after the realty which he had accumulated, spent his time among the. dooks in his room. In accordance with his custom he retired to his room early last night and was poring over his books when the family retired. Shortly after 8 o'clock this morning Miss Edith Logos, a sister, while on her way downstairs detected a strong odor of gas and traced it to the room occupied by her brother She opened the door, but the volume of gas which swept out nearly overpowered her.

Summoning the servant girl she entered the room and fouud her brother, fullv clothed, lying dead across the bed with one end of a rubber tube In his mouth. The tube had been wrenched from a small radiator which had been placed (n his room owing to the cold snap, and the other end of it was attached to the gas jet on the wall. A messenger was sent to Dr. E. A.

Wheeler, a neighbor, but all he could do was to pronounce the man dead. There was nothing left to show what had prompted Loges to take his life, and his tamity is sure that no business difficulties were responsible for the act. The only theory advanced by the family is that he might have been suffering from temporary aberration of the mind. is recalled by Miss Edith Loges that I last stunmer her brother, who was an expert swimmer ana tonu oi spending bis afternoons at the various beaches, remained too long in the water at Manhattan and was attacked with violent pains in his head. He had been under the care of a doctor but seldom complained of feeling ill.

The family is almost prostrated and none but the daughter could be seen to day. The only cause that can be assigned for the suicide of Mrs. Xelson is temoorarv in sanity. She lived in the apartment house at 576 Broadway with her husband, David, a salesman, and her lively disposition made her a iavonte witu ner friends. About two weeks ago she became a mother, and for a few days appeared to be suffering from melancholia.

Friends stayed with her fo comfort her and. as she had apparently fully recovered yesterday and was light hearted. the watch which had been kept on her was relaxed. Her friends had hardly left when she secured a small vial of carbolic acid and drank the contents. Her screams attracted the attention of the tenants and an ambulance was called from St.

Catharine's Hospital. Dr. Jennings worked over the woman for nearly an hour, but was unable to revive her. Her husband is grief stricken over her tragic death. COMPROMISE IN F.

New York time, and the representatives of warring intereststives have been since last week, that there had been a compromise arrived at between the Gould Osgood and Hawley Harriman interests at a conference, which lasted until 3 or o'clock this morning.

Sydney I. Darrin, proprietor of the Phoe niv Rtahlav in IVaei Dno HllnrlroH and Twenty eighth 'street. Manhattan, appeared before Justice McLean, in Part III. Supreme Court, Manhattan, to day. as plaintiff in a stilt for absolute divorce againsf his wite.

Maud E. Darrin, who lives with her mother at 154 Fourth avenue, Brooklyn. Mrs. Darrin did not defend the suit. The witnesses for young Darrin.

who comes Huucauan eJe riuim McKevitt of. 212 St. avenue, Man 1 hattan, and Edward Stokes of 42 Berkeley place. Brooklyn. Before the case came to trial Darrin said that he was a Protestant and his wife a Catholic and they had never got along well sine? their marriage.

His wife, he said, was before their marriage, which took place in Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, on June 12. 1837, Miss Maud Curran, a daughter of former Police Captain Curran. He said he was and his wife 22. He said that she left him after living with him five months and returned Io her home. Darrin said further that he heard reports derogatory to the character of his wife and went to Brooklyn to investigate.

Darrin said that he was with McKevitt and Stokes at the Meteor Hotel at 460 Flatbuah avenue, hen the evidence was obtained upon which the complaint was based. In answer to a question from the court, Darrin, In his own behalf, said that after his wife left him she sued for alimony but the suit was dismissed. Frank McKevitt, the first witness, said that on September 28. 1002. he went with Darrin to a dance hall at Malbone street and Flatbush avenue, and there saw Mrs.

Darrin dancing and drinking with a man who was a stranger to him and to Darrfn. Afterward he learned that the man's name was Charles Jones. After watching Mrs0 for nearly an hour, witness said hb 't her go across the street to the Melton in company with the man he had seen Ik. with before. Mc Kevjtt and Darrin followed and after more drinking, saw the man register aa Mr.

Jones and wife and saw them go upstairs to room No. 2. McKevitt and Darrin tried to follow them to the room, but were prevented by the proprietor of the hotel. McKevitt said that they then went out in search of a policeman and when they had found one went back to the hotel. The policeman told the proprietor to permit them to go up.

They went to the second floor and knocked at the door of I room 2. where they heard voices which they recognized. Failing to gain admission thev waited i i the hallway and after a time Mrs. Darrin and the man came out. Witness testified that he saw Darrin seize his wife by th.1 arm anu heard him say: "Now I've got you." "I know you have." McKevitt said that Mrs.

Darrin replied, "but 1 don't care if you have." Edward Stokes corroborated McKevitv 'j story, but. said that he didn't go to the room. The proprietor of the Hotel Msienr and I he policeman were also called in cor loboration. Decision iu the case was reserved. MAGNATES RESUME BUSINESS.

Schedule to Be Adopted and Officers Elected at To day's Session. The second day of the National League meeting began shortly after 1 o'clock at the Victoria Hotel. Manhattan. Previous to going into session the magnates had their customary conferences in the lobby, the subject most discussed being the emphatic statement issued by the American League people to the effect that they had located grounds on, Manhattan Island. There were' some of the base ball solons who refused to accept the statement until the ground had actually been broken, but others decided to take it.

for what it was worth and to go ahead and fight. With the routine work out of the way, the magnates went into more agreeable business discussions when the meeting was called this, afternoon. It was said that the schedule would be formally presented and probably adopted with some innovations that would please the tollowers of the game. It. was also intimated that a president would be elected it such a thing were possible.

There Is something of a breach among the magnates on the subject electing officers. The first question io bo infclded is whether the existing executive board is the proper caper, or whether a single headed administration is desired. After that, should it. be decided to have a president, the matter to be determined is whether a member of the league or some man not officially connected vith the organization shall be selected. Should an otttsider decided upon the name of John M.

War.d will he presented and by the Brooklyn club. President V)bets was i late in arriving, and when he was approached on the subject, he said: "The pres entation of Mr. Ward's name in connection with the presidency is premature, but now that, it Is before the public, the Brooklyn club. Mr. Ward being a Brooklyn man.

is in duty bound to present his name in nomination, provided, of course, we decide on having a president and ope ho is not officially connected with the league. I believe the subject will come up for discussion (his afternoon." GLASS OF WATEE I jinet Her. reoplo that don't know nbom food should never bo iHUweil to feed persons with wonk stomachs.

All the Foreign Riders Are Now Out of the Contest Some More Bad Spills. Two spills and a succession of fast sprints that kept tbe crowd of spectators keyed to the highest pitch of excitement, enlivened the early morning hours to day at the six day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden.

When things had resumed the normal condition It was seen that Root had been severely hurt, Barclay badly shaken up and Jacobson bruised by a bad fall at the Fourth avenue end of the Garden. Breton, who had fallen a few minutes before, was not hurt. Breton's fall took place a few minutes after 2 o'clock. His chain had slipped from the sprocket and had thrown him. About: three laps more had been made by the other riders when the second spill occurred.

Jacobson was dropping behind to allow Newklrk to take his place. Suddenly Root crashed into Jacobson's rear wheel, and they uoth fell, dragging down Barclay with them. Root was stunned and was carried to his auarters. The other two men picked themselves up and the partners of the three men came on the track. Then began a series of sprints and quick changes by the riders that has seldom been seen in a race of this kind.

Leander and Floyd Krebs started it. MeFarland and Maya took it up and soon a twenty five mile an hour gait was being made by the men. Breton, the Frenchman, was the first to drop behind. He contested every foot that the others gained on him, but they gradually I dretv away from him until he was a half a lap behind. Darrago was put oa the track to relieve him, but the pace was too fast and he was lapped.

When Breton, who had been sitting by the side of the track, saw what had happened, he shouted imprecations at his partner. Darragon answered back and while they were arguing the leaders stole another lap. Breton returned to the track and began to set the pace. It was 3 o'clock when Maya came on the track to relieve MeFarland. Leander also changed again with Krebs and Barclay with' Franz Krebs.

The pace was terrific. Breton began to lag behind and was lapped three in this hour. When the 4 o'clock score was posted and Breton saw it he dis mounted and said he was going" to quit. His trainer's begged him to continue and finally Darragon was put on again. The Frenchmen were hissed by the crowd for their lack of gameness.

The team crew disgusted and left the track. It was not until. fifteen minutes later that Breton began to ride again and by this time the team had fallen nearly two miles in tbe rear. At o'clock Breton and Darragon quit the track Darragon was in bad shape and reviled his partner for losing the first lap. Rumor had it that Darraeon had challenged Breton to fight a duel when they return to France.

The men refuse to speak to each other and sit at different ends of their quarters. The team was hopelessly out of the race and only awaited permission of the referee to leave the race. At 7 o'clock neither Breton nor Darragon had returned to the track and Doerftingex and Heller were also not to be seen. The two teams were declared out of the race. At 8 o'clock, the fiftysixth hour of the race, the men were 37 miles r.nd 1 lap behind the best previous record.

The cause of this poor record does not mean that the riders Lare inferior to former tiams. Six day rac ing nas developed into jockeying matches with occasional sprints and spurts in attempting gains. Team" racing has caused this change and was first introduced bv French riders. Doerflinger and Heller, the German combination, who had been loafing since the first day, were not. on the track for four hours, and at o'clock they were officlallv declared out of the race.

This leaves but nine teams In the race. All through the morning hours the men steadily fell behipd the record. At 11 o'clock the fifty ninth hour, the leaders had dropped to 61 miles and 8 laps behind the record of Miller and Waller. The foreign training camp has been completely disrupted. Many of the will sail for home.

The provisions, training paraphernalia and wheels have been distributed among the riders remaining in the race. The American representatives are now having it out for supremacy and the race is likely to go on with the men tied fm th nrst until the last minute. If the race cnus in tins manner, the management will repent the mile race of last year, when "Bobby" Wallhottr carried off the first money. At noon the riders indulged in another spurt and Maya stole thirl yards. Floyd Krebs and the others took after him and caught hltn after, a chase of two miles.

About o'clock Gesrge Leander picked up a tack with his rear tire and the puncture which resulted almost threw him headlong down the high bank on the Fourth avenue side of the Garden. The Chicagoan sprang from his wheel and ran down the bank on fcot. grabbing the rail near the press ring unassisted.

He ran to his training quarters and mounting a new wheel resumed the struggle. The bank at the end of the Garden is styled "Dead Man's Curce." Johnny Nelson was killed at this curve last year. Many (tf the riders were forced to quit the race on account of falls on this bank. A few miaute.t after the Leander incident Nat Butler took a tumble at the same spot. The veteran was badly shaken up, but took the track again tremendous applause.

WOMAN FATALLY BURNED. Mrs. Mary Flynn. 62 years old. died this morning In St.

Catherine's Hospital as the result of burns received while trying to smother a fire in her apartments, at 160 vlndia street, on Monday afternoon. A live coal from the kitchen fire ignited tho woodwork, and in trying to stamp out the blase (he woman's clothing caught fire. Enveloped in flames, she ran into the hall, nnd tenants called the members of Knglne Company No. 113, near by. Tbe firemen extinguished the Ilames.

but not before the woman had been terribly burned about the body. I I i in or of be ONE BID FOP. DREDGING. None at All for Supplying Public Buildings With Coal. The Morris and Cummings Dredging Com panuy was the only bidder to day for the contract to dredge the Gowanus Canal, tbe Wallabout the East River at the foot of Division avenue and Newtown Creek at the foot of Metropolitan avenue.

The company offered to do the work for 73 cents a cubic yard and will probably get the contract. There were no bidders for the contract to furnish and deliver 620 tons of anthracite for use in the public buildings FOOLED THE WEDDING GUESTS. Mr. and Mrs. Gardner Succeed in Foiling the Well laid Schemes of Their Friends.

The novel means taken by a bride and groom to escape their friends on Monday night is the talk of the neighborhood in the Kviciriity of CG Morton street. Considerable excitement was involved in the incident for the reason t.hat it included the leaping from a window of the newly married couple and scrambling across several rear extension buildings to a dwelling three doors away, through which they made their exit and were driven away before their friends became aware of it. The incident was the culmination of a double wedding which took place on that evening at the home of Albert H. Gardner, when he was married to Miss Emma Grace Hart of Hoboken. At the same time Mr.

Gardner's sister. Miss Frances Mabel Gardner, and Thomas Rowland Western were married by the Rev. Milton F. Negus of the First. Baptist Church.

Lee avenue an'H Koan street. The double ceremony attracted a large gathering of friends, who arranged to give Mr. Gardner and his bride an extra llvelv reception in the shape of a liberal shower of rice and old shoes. Mr. and Mrs.

Gardner after receiving the congratulations of their friends, retired to a room on the second floor to prepare for their wedding journey. Mr. Gardner, having been tipped oft as to What Was in Store for him and hl hriVlo 'cided upon a flank movement to defeat them. A hurried explanation to Mrs. Gardner resulted in his leaping from the window of the room to an extension and his wife, without the slightest evidence of fear dropped into his arms.

The couple made their way across the rear extensions to the bouse three doors below, where they were admitted after some and later emerged from the dwelling after cue of the inmates had directed the driver of the carriage to be on the lookout. The driver obeyed his instructions and it was not until me young couple had gained the carriage and were driven off that their friends discovered the trick. The horses were whipped up and although the vehicle was pursued for several blocks it was impossible to overtake it and the young couple are now presumably laughing over the discomfiture of the enthusiastic we'dding guests.

SAW THE EARTH'S ROTATION. ueipm wwge seniors Experiment at Class in Astronomy. The Foucatilt experiment for making the i rotation of the earth visible to the eye. the i performance of which in Paris last season attracted so much attention, owing to us helne lh flf.i,h of Vi covery by Foucault. was repeated for the benefit of the seniors in astronomv at Adel I phi College this afternoon.

Professor W. C. Peckhnm had charge of the experiment, which was an interesting one. A strong steel wire, sixiy five feet long, to which was attached a pendulum weighing twenty five pounds was fitted to an attachment in the ceiling and allowed tohang at full length over the stairways leading to the top floor. The pendulum was then drawn aside by means of a strong thread and made fast to the wall, in order to bring it to a complete rest and so placed that it would swing in a line due north and south.

A carefully ruled plank, with lines graduated to Ave degrees, was placed directly beneath the swinging line of the pendulum, so that, the pendulum at first wo'uld swing exactly parallel to the middle line of the plank. When the pendulum was brought to a fuil stop the thread holding it was slowly burned away so as to produce the smallest possible jar on its release. The graduated plank represented the different meridians on the earth's surface. The course of the pendulum itself never changed, but. gradually the.

south end of the big weight was swinging a little to the west of the center line of the board, rotating from the center point. This continued until the pendulum was swinging across thn plank in an oblique angle, and. according to Professor Peckham's calculations, if allowed to continue, would swing completely around until the starting point v.as reached, in thirty one hours. The experiment was performed to show the actual rotation of the earth visible to the naked eye and to Illustrate the absence of any effect on the motion of the pendulum from the rotation of the earth on its axis, for the pendulum never ceased to swing in exactiy the same line, while the gradual recession of the plank was due to the motion of the earth. This experiment was first pet formed by Fr.utaul!, the well known French physician.

In Paris, in 1852. and the recent observance nf the fiftieth anniversary of the discovery by a large number of French savants lends an additional interest to its repetition here at this time. INSANITY THE DEFENSE. Counsel of David Burnside, on Trial for Murdering Hiss Wife, Opens His The trial of David Burnside for murder in the first degree, which is on before Judge Aspinall and a jury in the County Court, has now progressed so far that the defense is putting in ifs evidence. The prosecution finished late yesterday afternoon.

Burnside is charged with having shot his wife, Lillian, in a Coney Island casino in June last. The defense admits the killing, but claims that Burnside was in a condition of irresponsibility when he shot her and that, as such, he ought not to be treated as a rational person. In his opening address Lawyer Levi Nay lor said: "Burnsfae was working at his trade when he met this young woman. We will show that he has been a sensitive, weak minded young man all his life and had fainting spells while at his work. "Although he had known this young woman but three weeks, he married her.

He thought she was worthy. There was no quarreling between them and all was harmonious during the two weeks they lived together. He knew nothing against the character of his wife until the Saturday before her death. On Saturday he came home and found his wife absent: he made inquiries about her and heard rumors that she had left him for good and was going back to lead the old life. "These are matters" for you to consider.

In his delerium he still devotedly loved his wife. He said that he was willing to take her back and forgive her. What was the state of his mind? This act. of killing his wife and attempt at suicide was all the act of frenzy. His mind was unbalanced.

The cord of reason had snapped and he was not. a responsible human being at that time, and for that reason he should not he treated as a man who deliberately would take a human life." Mrs. Mary Burnside. the mother of the defendant, was the first witness for the defense. She said that her son David spent his nights at home, was of a good disposition and much given to reading.

At one time he was infatuated with a girl who lived at Stamford. and took some jewelry from a friend, which he pawned, and raised enough to pay his fare to that place. On his return he was arrested and sent to the Elrnlra Reformatory, where he spent five years. Since his release he spenl his nights at home and was a steady attendant at church and Sunday school. Counsel then brought out the fact, that a cousin and brother of the witness had been conflued in an insane asylum and that there had been considerable talk in the family about the intermarriage of cousins.

Mrs. Burnside said that the Saturday before the shooting David had told her that his wife had left bim and would not return home. On Monday he said that, he could not go to work, as his mind was gone. On Tuesday David was old by witness of the character of his wife and of the life she had been leading for three years. The case is still on.

Williams this afternoon, "that Leyh was murdered. The suicide theory is hardly possible, in the light of recent disclosures. Of course. I am not at liberty to speak very fully about what has recently been discovered, but I am at work on the case and first lind foremost, of course, desire to ascertain the character of the poison which killed the man." Coroner Williams had just had a long talk with two detectives on the. case before he was seen by the reporter.

Earlier in the forenoon he had had a long interview with Detective Sergeants Donlin and Miller and it is understood thai they learned something to day which may have a strong bearing on the ultimate solution of the mystery. The detectives named hurried over to the District Attorney's office after they had left the coroner and had a talk with Assistant District Attorney Bailey, who has charge of the investigation. They were questioned after they had seen Mr. Bailey and. while they admitted that they had a new line of inves tigation to follow and that It might ae velop something of the greatest interest, they declined to tell what it was.

The detectives had found Louis, the hoy who went with Westphal on Tuesday a week ago. the day of Mr. LeyhV death, to buy the bicycle. Robert had told the police that the purse iie found on the floor at the store and which contained, as he said. was about fivp inches long and of black leather.

None of I he Leyhs could tell about this purse, for none had seen it in the possession of the old man. But they did not Know mucn aooui 111 money matters and they all agreed t.hat It was possible that he might have had such pocketbook without their knowledge. Robert had told the police that he took the money froni the pocketbook and threw the purse iu the street under the bridge, on Bedford avenue. In that respect he did not tell the truth, for Louis told the police last night, after accurately describing the same pocket book that Robert had described, that he had seen it in Robert's hands on Taesday night at the corner of DeKalb avenue and Broadway, miles away from Bedford avenue. Robert is still at the shelter of the Brooklyn Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, on Schermerborn street.

He seems to like the place and he is not under much restraint there. Superintendent Wilkin will not allow any person to interview him. first, because ho is a. prisoner of the Police Department and also because he does not wish any unfair advantage to be taken of the boy while he is under his care. The lad has had no callers since he was taken to the shelter.

His father saw hira for a short time yesterday, but there was no exhibition of sentiment between father and son. The former seemed to be dazed by the personal affliction that seemed to have fallen over the family. There has been no application for hail in case, and it is likely that Robert will remain in custody until to morrow, when his case comes again before Magistrate Dooley In the Adams street court. DUE TO GANG'S PRESSURE? Police Suspect That Non Appearance of Complainant in Burglary Case Was Influenced. Michael Sullivan, a peddler living al 129 Emerson place, was held to day by Magistrate Nauuier in the Myrtle avenue court in $300 bail on a technical charge of vagrancy and the case was adjourned to Friday.

Sullivan was arrested last, night while in the saloon at Sanford street and Park avenue by Detectives Carney and Dougherty of the Flushing avenue station, and it was supposed that he would be arraigned in court this morning on a charge of burglary and assault, but the complainant, Karl Oflingcr. failed to put iu an appearance when the case was called. Ofiinger. who is a bartender in the saloon of William Mackay at 143 Classon avenue, told the police that while he was cleaning up the saloon on Sunday morning Sullivan, accompanied by a man named David Harnett, came in and after getting some drinks refused to pay for them. Ofiinger said SulHvau then went behind the bar and took hold of him.

while Barnett threatened to shoot, him if moved. Following this. Sullivan rifled the cash drawer of SIS. The bartender complained to the police and Sullivan was taken into custody. Barnett.

it is said, has gone West for his health. The police say Sullivan was sentenced three years ago to five years in the penitentiary for stealing clothes from a. man Darned Cassidy and that his picture now adorns the rogues' gallery. There is a suspicion that Oflinger's non appearance in court to day when the case was called was due io the pressure of a certain gang which hangs around upper Flushing avenue and the ueighborhood.
