and want Clark denied liuit ills re: was tlie committee to them. are requested to notify the chairman in advance fuse, to discuss it l'lv eiect Howell said of what they want und are willing to pay. in answer to the intern claimed, all of them, wero done by Burns. This illegal concert being established, then the act of either one was the act of the other; and in that way the defendant could be convicted. Evidence had "been produced wra which the Jury could have found that tho illegal relation existed.

Next It was proved that Burns stopped the work of pulling down a "building which Sagriat was engaged in, and told him he could not go on with It till he saw the captain, naanely. defendant. This 'was the coercion used to extort the money. teaffrist. says he went to the station 'to see the captain, but he was not In.

The r.set thing to prove was that the mon ey was paid. Seagrlst swore positively that he paid $50 to either the defendant or Burns, hut that he could not remember which. Ills dubiety was upon this point only. He then testllied that he made a true memorandum of the occurrence at the rime of payment and produced It. Being request to luok at the memorandum to refresh his memory, he did so, und then said: "I have no distinct recollection by booking at the book to whom.

1 paid it, because it was a dou'ble entry." T5ie memorandum was then offered and received In evidence against the objectllon of defendant's counsel. It is as follows: "November 21. Material. Paid to Mo Laugh Hn. for protection, per Sergeant Burns, ordinance oincer, $i0." Seagriat said, as we have seen, that he could not tell from this, memorandum to wlvlch one he paM the money, because It was a "double entry," not referring to double entry bookkeeping (for no such tilling was before hVm), but meaning that tho entry was double in meaning, or equivocal.

And so the memorandum senms to ho; for who can say frvm it. any more than Seagrlst could, whether it conveys the statement that the money was paid to McLaughlin per or through Burns for protection, or fpoiW dHroc'tly to McLaughlin for protection to be given per or through Burns. It follows that this delphlc memorandum was not competent to prove to which one the money was actually given by Seatrrlat. That was the only point upon which his :r.ory failed and the memorandum could not he competent to prove anything except something which the witness could not recollect. (T'lster Co.

bank agt. Matlden, 114 N. 280.) He remembered positively that he paid the jr.n to one or the other; so that the memorandum could not bo received to prove that. But In another aspect It seems that the memorandum could not be legal evidence. The rule allowing an original written memorandum of a fact to be used as evidence of such fact In the absence of recollection of the fact try the person who made the memorandum, relates only to memoranda of facts, and not to memoranda of inferences or conclusions.

The memorandum In question Is of a conclusion. It contains a conclusion that an illegal concert existed between McLaughlin and Burns; that payment to Burns was payment to McLaughlin for his protection; or else that payment to McLaughlin was for his protection through Burns. Indeed, it contains a statement of a conclusion that the very crime for which the defendant was being tried was committed. It was competent for Seagrlst to testify that he paid the money to hut not competent for him thereupon to state the conclusion that such payment amounted to payment to McLaughlin. Yet that is what this memorandum was interpreted to state by the prosecution.

If one could make a written memorandum of his conclusions, and in that way afterward have them received in evidence, no one would be safe in liberty or property. There would be no end of fabricated memoranda. Even an original memorandum of a simple fact is received in evidence with hesitation, and only from necessity; and such caution Is necessary, as our highest court has said, "until the moral tnfirmlty of human nature becomes exceptionally less than It yet has." (114 N. 2SS.) The motion Is granted. Chosen as a Successor of the Late Mr.

Earutz. The Republican caucus nomination of Will lam H. Leaycraft as the successor of the late Alderman Karutz was confirmed by the board yesterday afternoon. The Democrats voted for Mr. Leaycraft.

An effort was made by Alderman Walsh to substitute the son' of the late Alderman Karutz. but Mr. Walsh was tho only one who supported him. John P. Hunt, first assistant clerk, was made the successor to Leaycraft as chief clerk and W.

H. Caldwell and Albert Wick were also promoted from lower clerkships. A resolution was adopted directing the Atlantic avenue railroad company to remove the cable slot from Park avenue. The water and drainage committee reported a resolution In favor of appropriating for an approach to the water tower near Prospect park, in accordance with a recommendation of City Works Commissioner Adama. The resolution was adopted desplto a stronrJ objection' by Alderman Hess, who said that too much money had already been spent on the water tower.

A resolution was adopted giving to the New York and Eastern Telegraph and Telephone company permission to erect poles and string wires along tho line of the city's water works, and making any connections and establishing any appliances which may be necessary A resolution from the grading and paving committee to reduce the width of Ocean avenue from 70 to 50 feet by taking In more sidewalk space, and also to macadamize the roadway was adopted.

Frank D. Pavey, who will be chairman of the sub committee of the assembly cities coin mlttea to inquire iato the affairs of tho bridge, wants to take tne hearing to one ef the court rooms in New York. The brld officials dislike the idea, because it will necesitrito a deal trouble tbat might better bo saved. If tho executive department is investigated, for instance, a seor of neavy tomes will have to be dragged across tbo bridge, to say nothing of the 16,000 vouchers for axpenditures. Again, the bridge force is a vary small one, and tho preonce of its principal in New i'ork would seriously cripple the transactions of business on this side.

Mr. Pavey has evidently bo consideration for tbe wishes or tho reasons tuo president of the bridge and hie associates. Philips TJalton. The marriage of Hiss Margaret Uaiton to Abraham Atdhley Philips, oldest son of A. A.

Tho party will leave at 5:30 to morrow night by the rftoningtun lino steamer Connecticut. It was tho original Intention of the Washington ami Brooklyn delegations to charter tho steamer lor themselves, but at the last moment the Washington party dropped out of the arrangement. As it is, however, the Brooklyn contingent will practically monopolize tho boat, upon which they have secured nearly every stateroom. In Boston the New York State headquarters will bo in the Dudley street Baptist church, whilo the Urooklyn party will live in the Conservatory of Music, where quarters have been secured for them during the four days that tho convention lasts. Tho rooms fn the conservatory are extremely comforLible.

Each, among other luxuries, containing a piano. On the trip tho parti will be under the direction of A. N. Nclls of the Park Congregational church, assisted by A. Heeley of the Tompkins Congregational church.

Tho reception last night was conducted by a special committee consisting of S. H. McDowell. Miss E. J.

Wellar and Miss L. Wood. After an hour or so of conversation in tha parlors Mr. McDowell introduced Miss Wood, who extended a hecrty welcome to the dele gr.tes. She said: 'This Christian Knde tvor society is a recognized society.

"We believe In it just as much as you do ami are very plad to gather round you to night to show our interest in this work. In behalf of liy own society I give you the heartiest welcome it is In my power to give. 1 hope that tonight's gathering will help us to become better acquainted with each other. You are going on a' delightful Journey to a delightful place, to a delightful gathering. I trust that all your dreams of this convention may bo made real and that the work which you know is yours has only been foreshadowed.

So, God blest: you as you go." (Applause.) Miss Jessie Judd, for tho delegates, spoke cleverly and wittily of what she expected to see in Boston, and short speeches were also given by President W. W. Freeman and A. V. Heeley.

Incidentally Miss Mills played a piano solo, and some delightful singing was given by Mr. Burleigh of tho Xew York Conservatory of Music and Miss Stone of the choir of Hanson place Baptist church. Refreshments were served at the close, and each delegate was presented with a dainty little souvenir containing the names of all the Brooklyn delegates. Along with this souvenir there was given a little poem, composed by Miss Wood, which ran thus: as WE GO. As you to Uoston Go io vain.

Glean some truth that's sweet, and new; Learn what other workers Gain faith and coui too. So your eoljj shail not lie in vnln. As you cnnie from Poston t'onie to clve. your of thoughts and plans Help some other hearts and hands To better follow Christ's commands; That your fominn seme Soul to live.

V. Hadlcy of the Jcrry JUDGE GAYNOTfSj SEASONS FOB BEASONACBUEiDOUBT. The Courtn His Dei Alludes to "the Possibility of udicialTyranny. Undue Eastefin the Trial of the De fendant. Following is the decision Judge Gayaorr filed yesterday afternoon, fefcranting a stay pending appeal, in the case ot ex Inspector McLaughlin of New York, convicted of extortion and under sentence oft; two years and a half imprisonment: The la does nut.

cast, upoiumo the fluty of concluding whether error jfwoSi actuaaiy committed In the defendant's case. On contrary, the statute is that if any aSgned error slve rise to "reasonable doubt whethtc the judfrnaent should stand," it Is my duty, without going further, to grant a certlllcate of reaponrrblo divubt. to operate as a stay of tha Judgment, pending appeal. I have such doubt, and being unable to resolve it, after careful deliberation, must unhesitatingly redpond to the injunction which the law lays upon me and allow the stay without regard to my poreunal inclination. Whether this ruined defendant shall be imprisoned pending his ajrpeal ia insignificant, compared to thu Importance of' maintaining a deliberate and "orderly ad ni integration of criminal justice and the necessity of ppewervlntj those Individual rights, which, while tffiey shield the innocent and the unfortunate, not protect the cuilty.

I have not merely defendant's cast; in mind, but the cases of everyone hereafter to be tried for a criminal offense. shall Epecify two alleged errors. The defendant was tried In the court of and terminer. His lust trial ended on Saturdiqy, May 11, by a disagreement of the jury. The case was at once set down for another trial im the samft court nine days ahead, namely, on lafonday, May 20.

Counsel for defendant then decided to make a motion in the supreme court for a change of the place of trial to another county, on the ground that a fair and Impartial trial could not he bad In tho county of 'Now York. They prepared a voluminous record for that purpose, setting forth that the difficulty of getting Impartial jurymen was so great that It took three weeks to get a jury on the first trial; that the deliberation of tho Jury was marred by unusual passion, those voting for acquittal reporting in open court that they were threatened with state's prison by those voting for conviction; that Immediately arfter the discharge of the disagreeing Jurymen their intelligence, honesty and motives were asitalled in public meetings and elsewhere, all of which was reported In thw newspapers; that in addition some newspapers joined In the attack, which was also leveled in advance against any jurors who should vote for acquittal upon the second trial, and the defendant also cl almed that the learned Judge who presided at his first trial, was also to preside at his second, participated In these public discussions in a way adverse to a fair and calm consideration of his case, and calculated to deter jurymen from being independent. In this state of things the defendant's counsel claimed that he had not had and could not have In the county of Now York that deliberate, fair and impartial trial wTiich the law guarantees to everyone. I need form no opinion as to tho truth of these allegations; it is enough tliat they were by no means light or frivolous and that defendant was entitled to have them calmly heard; for the law, taught by the experience of the past, had wisely so provided. From the irregular and disorderly trial of Jesus down to the present time history In almost every generation affords Instances of trials conducted due calmness and attention, which sometimes the innocent and sometimes the guilty were convicted, but invariably in either case with the like effect in the end, that the conviction was generally deemed unjust and proved more demoralizing and detrimental to social order than acquittal would have been.

It is a maxim of manliness and healthy human nature as old as the human race that one who cannot be convicted by fair play should not be convicted at all The defendant having decided, as was his unquestionable legal Hght, to move the supremo court to change his place of trial, what followed? He was confronted with a difficulty, for while the statute was explicit that ho could bring on such a motion only "upon notice of at least ten days to the district attorney" (Code Criminal Procedure, Section 346), his second trial had been set only nine days ahead, as has been seen, and would therefore supersede his motion and make it useless. But the law did not leave Mm in such evil ease, for It provided that any Justice of tho supreme court might grant a stay' of the trial until the motion should be heard and decided (Code Criminal Procedure, Section 347). By the exercise of diligence the defendant's attorneys had tho record necessary to the motion ready in four days. viz. On Friday, May 17, and regularly presenting the same to a justice of tho supreme court on that day they obtained of him the temporary stay of the trial which tho law allowed until the motion should be heard, On Monday.

June 3. The following morning, viz. Saturday, copies of the motion papers, Including the stay and notice of motion, were served upon the district attorney. The defendant had acted strictly In accordance with law. Ho could not have noticed his motion for any day prior to the day set for the trial, for the statute, as has been seen, required that he should give a notice of motion of not less than ten days.

On the following Monday morning, however, at the tinusual and irrf gular hour of 6 o'clock the district attorney caused to be served upon the defendant's attorney an order requiring tho defendant to show cause at 10:30 o'clock that same morning before the special terra of the supreme court in New York city why the defendant's motion to change the place of trial should not then and there "forthwith" proceed and be heard. The senior counsel for defendant was under engape ment to be before the court of appeals at Albany on that day and went there. The junior counsel appeared before the supreme court at the hour required, and submitting ailidavits bearing evidence of the unseemly haste In which he had been forced to prepare them, objected to the court proceeding, and, denying Its Jurisdiction to do so, asked that a time bo set to argue the question of Jurisdiction The court refused the request, overruled every objection and required the defendant to proceed at once to present to it his motion to change the place of trial. This his counsel, refused to do. The court thereupon made and entered an order to the effect that the motion was heard and denied, and vacating the stay, but reciting the refusal of the defendant to make the motion before It; and thereupon the court of oyer und terminer, which had awaited the outcome.

Immediately commenced tho trial of the defendant, against the objection of his counsel, that the supreme court had acted without Jurisdiction, and that, therefore, the stay of the trial was still In force and the trial could not be had. I have a reasonable doubt of the validity of this precipitate proceeding In the supreme court. It it is to be allowed In this defendant's case then it can be repeated in any one's case. It Is quite as important that justice appear to be done as that it be done. It is important that crime should be punished, but far more important that tho rights of the individual should be held inviolable; for that alone is all that stands between him and tyranny, whether executive or Judicial.

If the order of the supreme court was void then the stay was in force when the court of oyer and terminer tried the cause. I do not see how a court may force a party to bring on a trial or application of any kind within less time than he has legally noticed It for, unless by express statutory authority to shorten the time, which did not exist in the present instance. It might as wpII trj to make a party brine on a trial or application that he had not given notice of at all. The notice was shortenrd in this case by the aforesaid order of the special term of the supreme court upon the ground that the public interest required that there be no delay of the trial of defendant. If that he a valid ground, then a notice of trial or of motion in any case Involving public interests may be shortened or disregarded by the court.

It seems to me the learned district attorney mistook his course, and that the court acted without Jurisdiction. The way for the district attorney to prevent delay of the trial was plain. The law had not left it In the power of the defendant to delay the trial at will. He had to cet a utay pending his motion in order to delay the trial at all, and tho district attorney had the right to apply to the judge who had granted the stay to vacate it. unless the defendant would stipulate as an alternative to argue the motion in a Phortened time.

The like is often Inn in civil causes in respect of both notlcei of trial and of motion. But that il court has inherent Jurisdiction tr ih rrrri at will notices essential to give it jurisdiction, I cannot believe. There was no due procrss of law by which the special torm of the supreme court was able to do what it assumed to do in this nrr. Another assigned error raises a grave question. The indictment was for the extortion of $50 from oiil Seagrlst.

To make out tho crime it became neceasary for the prosecution to prove a continuing illegal concert iWween the defendant uid his ward man. Burns, to extort money; for the acts necessary to constitute the particular crime for which defendant was being tried were oat all committed by defendant personally, but. on contrary, some, or, as the prosecution finally lt is hoped that all who are coming will adopt this plan in ordr to avoid confusion upon arrival. "Delegates will be obliged to register in order to secure their badge and. pr.igrammv At that lime they will rivclve their certill ra to of assignment.

No delegates will lie recognized as such at either of the hotels or boarding houses unless they present their certificate, signed by the chairman of the entertainment committee. "If you arc sure of coming, kindly write in advance to Mr. E. S. Dunn, chairman, Xo.

PRESIDENT XEWIS ON FENDERS. ECe Gives the Assembly Committee a Little of His Experience. The investigation' into the affairs of the Brooklyn Heights Railroad company was ruiii tlnucd yesterday aftr rnuon by the sp cial assembly committee of which S. Frederick Xixon is chairman. Tho early part of the afternoon session was devoted to a short review of tho finances of tho heights company, previous to its absorption by the Long Island Traction company.

Coming down to the question of fenders Mr. Lewis said in reply io interrogations of counsel thut the Brooklyn Heights company had adopted the one advocated by the provious mayor of tho town. Mr. Bendy, as well as the members of the board of ajdermcn. The invention, he said, was swu by tlie Brooklyn officials for the first time in Boston and so thoroughly pleased with It were they as to have almost compelled Its adoption by "the Brooklyn Heights company.

Tho people who make complaints against fenders, continued the railroad president, are people who are not expert in their knowledge, the fender hitherto in use did not perform its duty. Persons struck by cars were known to havo rolled under it. Xo fender, Mr. Lewis said, could absolutely to do the work that was required of it. The bars could never be got so close to the rail as to prevent the passing under It of a hand or arm.

Recognizing this condition, the company sheathed the wheel or that part of It which was nearest the At the Invitation of Mr. Wade, Mr. Lewis touched on the speed of the trolley cars. The board of aldermen, by a resolution, ho said, restricted the cars to six flips an hour. The company's charier he said allowed them to run ten.

In some places owing to ihe aldermanlc restriction, it was impossible to run over four miles an hour, which made ihe service practically worthless because could walk faster. The placing of a restriction In tbe nature of a specific number of miles a car must run in an notir. Dewls thought bud policy. b0 i It was well enough, ho said, to establish a maximum, or a minimum, and let the companies work up to it or down to it according to their discretion. thMr self Interest being a sufficient itnurautoi; that the speed would bo carefully regulated.
