AN ASYLUM FOR GROSS, The Convicted Jurer May Escape Golng to Prison. Dr. Tilden, of the county commission for the examination of the insane wus scen \ terday by a Ber reporter and questioned as to whether he had formulated & report to sond to Washington, in obedience to di- roctions to examine Peter Gross, convicted and seutenced some days ago in the United States court on a charge of subornation of as regards the man's sanity. Ever conviction Gross has been confined county juil and has displayed all the fndicStions of a mad man. He is flighty and imaginative, and_in his_unsettled moments dmagines tho most ridiculous things. “Gross,” said Dr. Tilden to the ropor ‘s near as 1 can learn, has been a sufferer dor twelve years or more with epilepsy, and experts on insanity tell us that on being thus affheted is not responsible for any act that muy be committed by him or her. Murderers Tave been excused on these grounds and so- cured tho sympathy of an_otherwise biased public. Ihave been watching Gross pretty closely, and though he is gaining and is much Dbetter than he was some weeks ago, he is by no means o well man. I examined hi thoroughly a few days ago in accordance with_instructions from Washington, but I do not feel justified in yet sending a final report 1o tne authorities there. In a few da,s Iwill make another examination.” “Do_you cousider hima fit man to be in prison?’" was next asked. “No, I donot. He should be sent to some private asylum and cared for, and in all prob- alility that will be the outcome.” R A Vagrants Sent to Jail.

NrEw York, Jan. 18.—[Special Telegram to the Bre.]—What promises to be an inves- tigation with exceedingly interedbing vesults i8 now being made by government ofticials, particularly by special treasury agents and app rs. They are investigating all de partments of the appraisers stores, and so far their efforts havo resulted in the discov- ery of erooked worlk by at least five impor ing firms. The device which has been r sorted to to avoid oncrous tax of tarift charges has been what is technically known as “under-measuring.” Practically it is under-valuing. The method adopted been to ship more yards of cloth, or u gr quantity of any other goods than the invoice on the shipment called for. For instance, a packet containing silk would be invoiced at 100 yards. It would have picces of goods in it, each supposedly of twenty yards' length. ‘That would be the length of the piece most Wasmxatox, il mak- likely to be examined at the app store, but the other four would, if me: contain five or six yards mo Ou a good sized shipment this difference be- tween the invoice and goods would amount to a very comfortable item. To carry the scheme out successfuly, of coursé, there must be an understanding between the ship- on the other side of the ocean and the on this side, and the investigation ar would indicate that the working de- tails of the scheme are pretty well understood here. The investigation was originated on ry made by t detectives abroad, that the shipments being made there did not correspond with fitting accur with the invoices prepared at the same time. The ofticials_ think there are still more discoverics ahead of them and they are therefore unwilling to make public anything more definite about the fruit of their labors. No goods have yet been scized, although a good sized amount has been held for a searching examination. ———— Capture ofa Noted Swindler, EW YORK, Jan. 13.—After eluding detec- s for years, the man who, representing a brother of Marcus B.

He is one of the most successful and dangerous confidence men, and has operated successfully all over Europe.
