Figel Makes Some Pointed Com- ments on the Arrest. Sorrow and scorn hoid full sway in the home of Theodore Figel's parents. “My son is innocent of any crime,” Mr. Figel said, *‘and those who know me best will also know-that no son of mine would bring, of his own accord, sorrow on those he loves and stain.with blood the name he respects. He make an -effort to see Judge | a murder case | such | ©] visited him in the prison to-night and he assured me that he was innocent, and when he told mie, his father, that he was innocent I then felt lighter at heart, but. still I grieve. - What father would nor, his son accused and confined in a felon’s cell? | “When I left my son I returned to my home to my wife. Poor woman, she is'ill in_ bed, vrostrated with many ills and grief. I am a man of the world:and can bear up, depressed as 1 am, beiter than she. “Itseems that persons who have inter- ested themselves'in the case for reasons unknown to meecry out for revenge for the murder of Isaac Hoffman when itis not proven bevond a doubt that a murder has been committed. “Why was it that Mrs. Hoffman or the dead merchant’s brother, who was bis { partner, did not_swear to the charge | against my son? Why was it that Harry Hoffman swore to the complaint? *I think I can see the réason. - He has nothing to lose when my son is’ ucquit- | ted. He is financialiy irresponsible and ‘i against him we will have no redress.’” | "Av this' instance -Plhilip Frgel; the prisoner’s . ‘brother, -.stepped in:‘. the room - and . =ald’ . that - he shared his father’s” opinion “in - the matter of -the complaint, and in that significant fact he could read fear on the side of the prosecu- tion: that a convictipn cvould not be se- cured.. The father conciuded the interview by saying: N “I have no fear but that my son will be acquitted. He: is _confident and perfectly at his -ease, The day will come when retributive justice will be meted out to those.who now see ‘fit to charge him with acrime that he J¢id not commit, that he conld not have committed, as his heart always revolted against such deeds of blood.” Dr. Lovy Acéused. A Coroner’s jury on Monday rendered a ver- dict that Gertie Weir, 19 years old, came to her death at 24 Turk street as the result of & criminal operation performed by Dr. Levy. Verdicts of accidental -death were rendered in the cases of James Sullivin, Rose Prunty and Wiliiam E. Vaughan, s Sullivan and Mrs. Prunty were killed while getting off streetcars while in motion. A verdict of suicide was réturnea iu thé case of Walter Tkeda; a Japanese who shot himself throug!s the-heart on Waverly place. In the ¢ase of Edward Costello, who was found lyingin ‘the street with a fractured skull, the verdict wis that the deceased came to his death trom causes unknown.
