TOLD THE POLICE ABOUT IT. Said He Happened to Be Passing the Station House and the Desire Seized Him to Go In and Tell the Officials All He Knew They Heard His Story, Followed His Directions and Nabbed a Gang of Young Thieves. Police Sergeant Slmonds and Detective Dougherty were in the Sixth precinct station house at 10 o'clock last night waiting for something to turn up, when a fairly well dressed young man entered the police station. He announced that his name was Phillip Davis and that he lived at 112 McKlbhen street.

Ho said he was just on tho point of becoming a "burglar and was on his way to meet 6omo other amateur cracksmen, wben he happened to pass the station house, and the desire seized him to tell the police all he knew. The police officials listened eagerly as Davis related his story. "The plan to night is to crack Phillip Pru sansky's store at 55 Ewen street," said Davis, as he took a seat which Detective Dougherty had provided for the hoyish looking burglar. "We all met this afternoon and, after looking over the ground, came, to the conclusion that it was an easy job. I have been appointed 'lookout' and I was on my way to meet the gang and receive final in structions when came in here.

Detective Dougherty learned from Davis that the young burglars had agreed to make an attempt to break into Prusansky's store some time between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock this morning. After Davis had been questioned and cross questioned the police told him to go and join the gang and act just as he had first Intended to do. The police assured Davis that they would do the rest. Prusansky's clothing store is quite a good sized establishment and he has several hundred dollars worth of clothing In stock. It was a little after 2 o'clock this morning when Detective Dougherty and Patrolman Peter Laughran crawled In a wagon which had been left for the night in the street, just opposite Prusansky's store.

The detectives lay in the bottom of the wagon and from there they were able to see everything going on in the neighborhood. They waited in the wagon for nearly an hour and there were no signs of the burglars. They were beginning to think that they had been made the victims of a hoax, when they noticed that four young men were moving cautiously down the street toward Prusansky's store. As the would be burglars approached they assured each other that It would be an easy thing to get into tho place and get away with at least $200 worth of clothing. "It is just like finding money," Detective.

Dougherty heard one of the alleged burglars say, "Why this is the best cinch we ever run across, and where, oh, where are the police?" The detective could see that Davis was with the party and they heard one of the men give him instructions about what to do in case he saw a policeman. The would be burglars went to work soon after they arrived in front of the store. There were four in the party and as the detectives lay in the wagon and watched the movements of the men they wondered how they would be able to catch them all at once. The burglars, according to the detectives, were well acquaint ed with the surroundings and they first went to work on the door leading to the basement of the building. One of tbo men held a candle, while another tried to break the lock with a long necked file.

The instant the burglars started in at the lock Detective Dougherty and Patrolman Loughran jumped out of the wagon and surrounded he men. As soon as the young burglars recognized the police they tried to escape. The detective and the patrolman each grabbed a prisoner and a third man ran down the street. Ho ran into the arms of a policeman a block off and was arrested. At the station house tho prisoners described themselves as Benjamin Ferkin, 15 years old, of 123 Varet street: Charles Samuels, 18 years old.

no home, and Fred Brockman, 16 years old, of 101 Moore street. While the prisoners were being searched Davis walked into the station house. He wa3 placed under arrest on a charge of vagrancy and locked up with his companion. In the Ewer, street police court this morning, when the prisoners were they entered a formal plea of not guilty and were committed to jail in default of $1,000 bail each. Davis was paroled and he promised Justice Harriman that he would be in court Saturday morning, when the prisoners will be examined.

"This is the first time I was ever arrested." said Ferkin, "and I wouldn't be in this trouble had not the other fellows called on me and told me what an easy thing they had and how we were all sure of making $50 each." LITTLE FOLK'S BAD FALLS. James Burdock's Remarkable Recovery From a Fractured Skull. Grace Kiernan, 4 years old, while playing at her home on tho second floor of tho house, at 1,400 Bergen street, yesterday, fell to the pavement below and was picked up unconscious Ambulance Surgeon Grubbs removed the child to St. John's hospital, where it was found that her thigh had been fractured.

Valentine Says $1,000 Would Not Take Him Back. Patrolman Harrington of the police bureau arrested William H. Valentine of C95 DeKalb avenue this morning on a charge of abandonment. The warrant was issued by Justice Baruch of Rye, N. where, it is said, Valentine has a wife whom he deserted about two years ago.

i Michael Lehmaier Shot Down by Charles A. Johnson, HIS WIFE'S FORMER HUSBAND. Mrs. Lehmaier Had Trouble With Her Husband and Made Several Visits to Court on His Account Johnson Stayed in tho Woman's Rooms to Protect Her From Lehmaier and the Latter's Visit Provoked the Shooting. Doubtless the troubles of Michael.

Lehmaier and his wife have come to an end, for early this morning Lehmaier was shot three times by a man who claims to be a brother of Mrs. Lehmaier. and he now lies at the point of death at tho New York hospital. Tho shooting took place in the fashionable boarding house at 40 West Thirty fifth street. Although the Lehmaiers have not lived a happy life for many years, it was not until six weeks ago that the general puhlic knew anything of them.

Mrs. Lehmaier was then living alone in tho house where tho shooting occurred this morning. Late one night she went to the West Thirtieth street station and told that her husband, from whom she waa separated, was in tho house and had threatened her life. A policeman who was sent to quiot matters stood In front of the Thirty fifth street house the hetter part of the night, and jus: as J.t was getting light heard a terrific shout. Then Mrs.

Lehmaier jumped from a window closely followed by he: husband. She said he was trying to kill her. The same day. after the man had been held in Jefferson Market court, he came very near ending his life in a prison cell, when at Jefferson Market he cut both his wrists with the crystais of his watch But he recovered and later waa discharged in the court of special sessions. Since then nothing had been heard of the Lehmaiers until thl3 morning.

Yesterday Mrs. Lehmaier again appeared in the Jefferson market court. This time it was to secure a warrant for her husband, who she said had beaten her and threatened her life. Being afraid to serve the summons which was given her, Mrs. Lehmaier got the man she says is her brother, Charles A.

Johnson, to accompany her. Johnson says he makes table ware and that he has a factory at 20 Beach street. Johnson served the summons on Lehmaier all right, but there was a great deal of trouble after the service. Lehmaier raved and tore about the house, aroused all the boarders and talked so wildly that many left the house. Mrs.

Lehmaier was badly frightened, too, but Johnson didn't seem to mind it at all. He said to Mrs. Lehmaier: "Now, I'll remain in your room all night; I'll protect you if thero is any trouble." After this arrangement was made the house quited down and there was no more trouble until 3 o'clock this morning. Then there came an uproar. The sound of five pistol shots rang through the halls, followed quickly by cries of "Murder" and "Police." Everybody in tho house seemed to be awake in a moment and were crowding the halls of tho second floor, where Mrs.

Lehmaicr's rooms are. With one accord all seemed to understand that the shots had been fired there. The excitement quickly spread to the street. The house was close crowded with many people, through whom Patrolman Carey rushed to reach the front door. Inside the house the patrolman found everybody terror stricken.

Between the little hallway, which connects the two rooms occupied by Mrs. Lehmaier. Lehmaier was found bleeding and unconscious. He had been struck by three bullets, one in the groin, one in the left side and the last in tho left leg. "Yes.

I did it." Jobnscn readily admitted; "I did it in self defense." Patrolman Carey, realizing that the first thing to be done was attention to tho injured man. sent a hurry call to the New York hospital for an ambulance. Then ho returned to the house. When the ambulance was on its way. after the surgeon arrived and was attending to the wounded Lehmaier.

Johnson, interrupted many times by Mrs. Lehmaier, told his version of tho shooting. He had been sitting up with Mr3. Lehmaier, when just a few minut.es before 3 o'clock, there came a loud pounding at the door. What happened after that, Johnson explains in this way: "Who's there." called Johnson.

"It's me," came in the voice of Lehmaier. "You can't come in here." "I'll come in there if I have to kick the door in." "If you do. I'll shoot." Johnson shouted, for he held a loaded revolver in his hand. Lehmaier paid no attention to the threat, but promptly kicked down the door. Then the shots were fired.

There were two of the first, neither of whirih tcik effect in Lehmaier As the man was about to jump over the failen door, there came the three final shots. Then Lehmaier dropped and Mrs. Lehmaier screamed. The examining surgeon decided that Lehmaier would die. so Patrolman Carey took Johnson before him.

"That's the man who shot me." the injured nut! said, faintly. "He Is not my wife's brother he is her former husband." That was all the wounded man could say. Then they hurrie him away to the hospital. At the last named institution he recovered somewhat and was able to tell his idea of the shooting. He had been unabie to sleep, he said, and had decided to go to his wife's room and get a sleeping powder that was there.

He knocked at the door, he said, and hearing the voice of man. believed that the person had no right to be there and ordered him out. When the man refused to come, he broke down the doer to eject him. Then he was shot. Johnson and Mrs.

Ufcimal'er were locked i up In tho West Thirtieth street police sta tion. The first charged with doing the shoot ing. the woman as a witness. She was hys Johnson and his sister were arraigned in Jefferson Market court, the woman having been arrested as a materia! witness. Johnson said hn had nothing particular to say, and was held to await the result of Lehmaier's injuries.

A certificate was produced from Dr. Keyes. house surgeon of New York hospital, in which the latter states that be Is not yet able to determine the extent of the patient's injuries. He was suffering greatly from shock. Mrs.

Lehmaier was discharged for the present to day by Magistrate Deuel. She requested that she be asked no questions regarding the affray. She said she had borne about as much as sho possibly could and was broken down. Magistrate Deuel ordered the policeman to rearraign Johnson to morrow morning, by which time it Is hoped to have received a report from the hcsplta'l authorities. Coroner Fi'tzpatrick, at 8:30 A.

took Lehmaier's ante mortem statement. In answer to tho coroner's question as to whether he he was about to die, Lehmaier said: "I think that there is danger of dying." To tho question as to whether he had any hope of recovery, he said: "I cannot answer that question." This Is tho statement: "My wife, Eva Lehmaier. and I had a quarrel last night when an alleged brother of my wife named Charles Alexander Johnson of 20 Beach street locked a room door. I wanted to get a sleeping powder out of the room at 3 o'clock but my wife had the door locked and the alleged brother was in tho room with her. I said that I would not permit any man to occupy the room during the night in tho company of my wife.

I thon attempted to break in the door and the alleged brothor began shooting at mo. He fired three or four shots. Three of them took effect. I ran for tho window and called for the police, who responded to my call. I was brought here In an ambulance." At the Now York hospital it is said that Lehmaier may recover.

He gives tho nurses a great deal of trouble and is continually asking to see his relatives and Dr. Jacoby. HOPE BOOTH RELEASED. The grand jury of New York to day dismissed tho complaint made against Hope Booth, the actress, and John W. Hamilton, a theatrical manager.

Thirty Contractors Here Said to Be Ready to Sign the New Agreement Resolutions Adopted by the Garment "Workers To day Situation Not So Promising in New York Talk of More to Go Out. H. Reuben, one of the press committee who was acting at the headquarters of the executive committee of the United Garment Workers at 51 Ewen street In the absenco o'f Leader Solotovsky, who was in Now York, said to an Eagle reporter to day: "The executive board have decided to begin to deal with the coutractors individually this afternoon. Thirty of them have already signified their willingness to sign the agreement. Their proposal will likely be accepted and by to morrow forenoon I hope to be able to report to you that 500 men have returned to work." That will practically mean the beginning cf the end of the strike.

The action of four contractors last night In threatening to open their shops gave great annoyance to the executive board and at meetings of the workers held at 41 Siegel street and at other places later, the hasty contractors were criticised by the passage of the following resolution: "We, the members of the local operative coat tailors' and preseers' union of Brooklyn in several meetings assembled, considering the situation In the present strike, unanimously adopt the following: resolutions: Wheras, A of some contractors of this city demasked themselves and appeared in their proper light by expressing their Intention to open their shops and work against our fellow craftsmen. Whereas, It appears that after the manufacturers expressed their willingness to raise the prices for garments they Insist upon a return, to tne old slave system. Resolved. That we reaffirm our faith in the union, and we pledge ourselves to stand faithfully by the Txmner of our union until we gain a complete victory. At the "Siegel street meeting the resolution was passed with much cheering.

Many of the workmen cannot understand what Influence has led to the fickle conduct on the part of these few contractor. Local union No. 390, which is the women's branch of the United Garment workers who are on strike, will hold a special meeting tomorrow night at 51 Ewen street. The meet ing will be addressed by Joseph Barondess and Leader Solotovsky. Their action in this crisis will depend on that of the men.

New York Tailors Cannot Deal With Contractors as Individuals. The Brotherhood of Tailors are rigidly ad hering to their proposition of yesterday that thoy will not negotiate with the contractors as a whole until they present their claims as an organization. There are 600 contractors involved in the present strike, and up to the present only 250 have become members of the association. Not until the whole fraterni ty is banded together will Meyer Shoenfeld treat with them on a business basis, and it was learned, on reliable authority, this morning, that if tho contractors do not come together to day or to morrow the alliance between the Brotherhood of Tailors and tho contractors will be Instantly dissolved. In that event 'the executive beard of the Bro therhood of Tailors will make such settlements as they deem proper, with individual contract ors, and the asjiociation will be ignored.

By mutual agreement on the part of the contract ors and tailors' representatives it was decided at a conference last night that a few of tho coutractors enter into the bonded agreements with the Brotherhood of Tailors and again resume work in the hope of thus Inducing the non union contractors to join the association. Tho new agreement provides that business agents representing the tailors must have free access to the shops, examine the books and cards of the employes, but must not. consume more tihan ten minutes in so doing. The promissory note must have the indorsement of a "good and sufficient indorser, and only male and female memhers belonging to the Brotherhood of Tailors and in good standing must alone be employed." The work day to begin at 7 A. M.

and end at 6 P. with an hour for dinner, and on Fridays, when the tailors' work week ends, work must be suspended at 5 o'clock, when the employes shall receive their wages. It is further stipulated that the contractors must reinstate all the strikers and that apprentices are not to be employed without first having presented a work card from the Brotherhood of Tailors and that not more than one apprentice to every three machines be employed. The children's jacket makers, 3.000 strong, will meet to night in Walhalla hall to discuss the present situation and take coun as to the advisability of going out on strike. GOLDMAN" ASSAULTED.

Joseph Goldman of 254 Attorney street, New York, a non union tailor employed in Elsman's tailor shop on Osborne street, Brownsville, was assaulted when about to board a train for home at 7:30 o'clock last night. Goldman was ascending the stairs to the elevated station at Fulton street and Vesta avenue, when approached by a man who invited him to have a drink with him. Descending the stairs Goldman was assaulted by the stranger and badly injured about the face. Goldman says he believes the man who assaulted him was a union tailor who objected to his working in a non union shop. HAIR PULLING MATCH.

LIVELY SCENE IN FRONT OF THE GATES AVENUE COURT. Two Women, Who Had Testified Against Tailor Arrowitch, Go for Each Other in Pugilistic Style. The two wives of a gay Brownsville Ijo thario stirred things up a bit on Gates avenue this morning In front of the Gates avenue po lice court by engaging in a hair pulling match from which their attention was diverted only by physical force. They were Mrs. Abraham Arrowitch N'o.

1 and No. 2, and they had just left the court room after testifying against that man. Arrowitch is a tailor and lives in Osborne street. He came to Brownsville about four years ago and began work at his trade. Posing as a single man and being of engaging manners, 5ie became a great favorite with tho fair sex of that vicinity.

About two years ago he selected one of the fairest and they were united in wedlock after the customs and rites of the Jewian faith. Arrowitch. however, wearied of 'the burden, and somo time ago he is said to have deserted his wife Dora and their baby. About the same time Deputy Sheriff HlircrM IThn ei unllrliir I I ns rt of the city, received a letter from Russia, ask ing for information about an Abraham Arrow iioa. This loiter came from one who claimed to bo his wife, and finally tho writer came to tins country, landing about two weeks aEO, The woman, whose name is Rebecca, claims that 8ho and Arrowitca wore married in Rus sia six years ago, and that he deserted her there.

She had a child about i years old. Bur ger then arrested Arrowitch on the second wife's charge of desertion, and whllo he is awaiting trial on that charge papers In the bigamy case win be made ou't against him. This morning Justice Harriman held che prl oner for trial. After the arraignment tho large crowd interested in the casi adjourned to the sidewalk, and thero tbo two wives met for tho first time. It was a case of anything but love from tho start.

Without wasting many words the women flew at each other and began to scratch, scream and pull eadli other's hair. Burger and a couple of ethers separated the combatants with much difficulty and they were escorted iu different directions until safely out of eah other's way. Little Grace Pierce's Death Was Purely Accidental. RUN" DOWN BY AN ASPHALT CART Th Young Driver Was Scared by the Excited Crowd Which Threatened Him After the Accident Occurred and Says That Is Why He Started to Run A way Examined in Court This Morning and Discharged. Grace Pierce, a blight little girl 10 years oW, residing with her parents at 336 Flat bush avenue, went out for a riclo on her wheel yesterday forenoon.

An hour later she was run down by aa asphalt wagon, almost within tho shadow of her home. A neighbor picked the Injured girl up anil carried her home. Three hours later Gracie died In her mother's arms. She was conscious to the last and frequently complained of "the bad, bad man." as she called him, who, she declared, had refused to stop his big wagon when she screamed to him. The funeral will take place to morrow afternoon at 2:30.

Gracie will be interred in Evergreen cemetery, where her mother has already laid five other children. The accident occurred almost directly in front of the Montauk club and it was there to day that an Eagle reporter saw one of the eye witnesses of the scene. This is a young German named August Issleib, who is em GRACE PIERCE, Hun over and Killed while wheeling rd.iv. Rloyed in the club kitchen. His story is this: "I was looking out of the pantry window and Baw that the girl was underneath the wheel and the man was getting down.

I yelled to the chef. I saw that tbo wagon man would not stop. He went on a littie in his wagon. Then he jumped down, came back and lifted the girl In his arms. She screamed about her leg being hurt, so he lifted her up and carried her to the grass plot at the corner of the street.

The front wheel of her bicycle was lying across the street and the girl was in such a position that she appeared to be sitting on top of it." Watson, the driver of the wagon, was arraigned before Judge Walsh in the Butler street court this morning. A technical charge at vagrancy was made against him in order to hold him. 'Judge "WalSb said: "Thai; is a very foolish charge to make asalnst this man. At the time Ofhie arrest he was driving a truck, showing that. he had a visible means of subsistence." Detectivo Kelly, who arrested Watson, was directed, to obDaia a witness to the accident and Watson was then placed in he prison van and taken to tiie Adams street court, where ha was again arraigned before Justice Walsh.

Meantime tho detective had obtained a witness named Walter Blackman, who is a coachman employed by Alderman McGarry. The prisoner was promptly discharged on OSlackman's testir.io.ny. be cc vxaaian paid that he was driving a coach along side the cart driven by the prisoner when tho sir! came riding cn her wheel out of Eighth avenue into Flatbush avenue.

The engineer of tho Montauk club heard the screams of the girl, when she had been thrown in front of the wagon and he promptly climbed a ladder from the basement to the sidewalk. He saw Watson driving away rap Idly from the scene of tho accident and as. he told the Eaglo reporter to day: "I made up my mind that as long as nobody was going follow the man I would follow him myself. I did so to the comer of First street and Seventh avenue. The boy appeared to be perfectly willing to come with me till I root his employer.

1 said: 'I ara going with this man, but he swore at me and told Watson, 'You go back to your work. I'll be responsible for this I said to Watson. 'No, you don't; you'll come with me or I'll follow you till you aro arretted." His employer, however, chased him back and he turned round to go back to work. I said. 'No, you don't," but we had only gone about half a block when his employer called him back and the boy ran from me." John McLoughiin.

tho bartender at the Montaut club, adds to this story. Ho said today: "Tho boy wanted to got away after the accident. His employer came up and wanted him to get away. Then tb engineer came up and held Watson. He accompanied him up the street to deliver sorno asphalt stuff, and loft his wagon there.

Just then an ice wagon cam along, and he got on it and they tried to drive off. I jumped into the middle of the street and tried to stop tho wagon. The driver tried to lash his two horses past mo. but I got hold of on i of th horses and held on to it. Watson then jumped off and ran down Flatbush avenue.

I ran after him. with about one hundred people following mo." A woman's bicycle had befi presented to tho Pierce family by a brother and the eldest girl, Jennie, 17 year old, as well an the younger members of the family, were in the habit of riding it. Graclo had not bon riding very long, but ihe waa fairly export on tho family wheel and yesterday forenoon she pleaded with her mother to let her eo out for a short snin near the house.

Finally tho mother consented, and Gracie Changed her neat summer dress for a tattered silk cheviot gown, which Mrs. Pierce had thrown aside for tho ragman.

"But you can't go out wrth that old thing." said Mrs. Pierce, when she saw the costume. "Oh, this is all right. It makes mo look a cyclist," returned Gracie, and off she went on her fatal ride. That was the last that Mrs.

Pierce saw oi her little girl till a neighbor, Mrs. Rowo, carried her into the house. Gracie didn't appear to be much hurt then but tho wheeling costume of which she had been so proud a little while before was sadly torn. In front there was a rip showing where the wagon wbeol had gone over her. "Oh, mamma, my side!" she exclaimed as she was laid in bed.

Industriously Working a Certain Looal ity in the Eastern Distriot Some Statements Doubted by Police. A sneak thief, who is thoroughly familiar with the locality, and who possibly has an accomplice, has been working the two blocks on the north side of Broadway in the east ern district, between Marcy avenue and Roeb ling street, diligently for the past two months. At least three houses have been entered by these men and more or less valuable property taken from each. All the ransacking was done in broad daylight and as the locality is nearly as busy a one as Fulton street down town, the thieves must not only have been sly and agile but dexterous and quick. Tho family of Adam Schoening, a.

confection, er at Broadway, are the heaviest losers by the work of the thief or thieves. Schoening lives on tho floor immediately above the store. His daughter, Lizzie, sometimes attends the shop. Sho was doing so on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 15, from 4 until 6 o'clock. The several doors of tho flat above were locked.

When Lizzie returned upstairs a littie after 6 o'clock she was astonished to find a bureau drawer in the front room, occupied by herself and her sister Minnie, broken open and its contents ransacked. On making a search Miss Schoening found the following articles to have been stolen: Two silver watches, two gold rings, one pair of bangles and one pair of plain bracelets, a gold breast pin. a silver sword stickpin and a pocketbook, containing 52.50. altogether valued at $75. The thief could not have been in the apartments more than a few minutes Mr.

Schoening was summoned and he made an examination of the house. All the doors had been locked, but as they had been tampered with it was seen that the thief had obtained admittance with false keys. The affair was then reported to Officer Fredericks of Captain Short's command. On the top floor of the same house lives Mrs. Link, a widow.

On April 17 a thief entered her apartments and stole a suit of clothes belonging to a lodger and about $7 worth of dress goods. The rooms had been entered bv means of false keys precisely in the same manner as Mr. Schoening's home. Mrs. Link had some suspicions that the theft might have been committed by a former lodger who had only remained a week in the house, but the neighbors think it is the work of the same man who has been operating in places recently.

The theft was committed between 9 and 11 a'clock in the forenoon, when Mrs.Link had gone to the door for about an hour. The matter was reported to Detective Campbell. Howe's bake shop is at 27! Broadway. The bakery is in the rear of the store and here last Saturday at noon the foreman, A. C.

Thayer, and his assistant, a young man of about 10. named William oFrd, were kneading dough together. Both went into the front store for about five minutes, as they say. Thayer's coat was hanging in a narrow pas sago at the back of the bakery and his gold watch, valued at S43, was in the pocket. When he returned tor his coat it was missing.

After a search ho found it lying in the back yard. The foot marks of the thief were fresh where he bad entered the rear cf the bakery yard by jumping a wooden fence about five feet high. Tho thief, or his accomplice, had been evidently studying the locality, for on Thurselay last, as the boy Ford says, between 9 and 10 o'clock in the morning, while bending down in the passage doing some work ho was struck on the head with some blunt instrument by a man with a dark mustache. He was found unconscious by Thayer a few minutes later. At the Fifth precinct station to day Sergeant White said that he thought the work in the Schoening house was that of an ordinary sneak thief.

Detective Campbell is working on it. He did not credit the story told by the young man Ford that he had struck by a billy. Same of the people in the locality think that the thief or thieves have their headquarters at a cheap hotel in the neighborhood. WILL WEITE TO GLEASON BEFORE ACTING IN" THE NATURALIZATION CASE. District Attorney Bennett Thinks That Much Courtesy Is Due tho Long Island City Mayor.

United States District Attorney James L. Bennett said this morning in discussing the suit against Mayor P. J. Gleason chat be now has the papers in tbo matter in his possession and is doitberarini? upon his course of action in tho matter. Yesterday, he said, a copy of Mr.

Glcason's naturalization paper was received by him completing the evidence that the prosecution has on hand. "It is my Intention," said Mr. Bennett, "to writo Mr. Gleason a letter before doing anything else In the matter. I think it only courteous that I should acquaint him with the facts ar.d give him an opportunity to present his own side of the case.

Tho whole question likiijes upon the date of Mr. Gieason's birth. If he came to the United States before ht was IS years of and took out hi naturalization papers, then ho is a citizen. The law provide that no preliminary notice of intention to become a citizen is required when the applicant is under IS years of age. If.

(however, he is over 13, he must take out preliminary papers and secure his final papers after a term of years In the usual manner. The affidavits presented to mo on their face show that Mr. Gieason was over 18 years of age at the time ho took out his papers. If that is a fact, his papers are void and cannot stand. The matter will not be presented to Judge Benedict until It is thoroughly sifted in this office.

My position In the matter is this: I um requested to take action in the matter, the evidence being put into my hands. The law requires that I procired in such cases and examine tho evidence submitted and provided there is Just ground for action, prosecute. This I intend to do." GAVE HIMSELF UP.
