Sulli- van, the assistant to War- rant and Bond Clerk Peery. Yesterday it was discovered that Sullivan had forged the name of either Judge Conlan or Judge Cabaniss to an or- der for the withdrawal of bail money, and had secured by this means over $600° Frank Marshall, J. R. Brooks and Burt Alburn, bunko men, had put up as bail while waiting the result of the charges pre- ferred against them for oper- ating a plate game. Early yesterday morning Attorney Mack applied at the city treasury for the bail money that his clients, the bunko men, had put up. Mack was informed that the money had been paid out on an order of a Police Judge.. When the attorney heard this he was thunderstruck. Hunting up his clients he inquired if they had secured the money. They told him that they had left the matter in his hands and had not seen either an order or the money since it was put up for bail. | |% Sullivan forged the order i.}. for the payment of the money f’? and appropriated the funds % for his own use. The bunko + men were arrested two weeks + ago for fleecing strangers by |% the plate gams. They were | arrested and charged before Judge Conlan, who fixed their bail at $600, which they put up and obtained their liberty. Their cases were afterward transferred to Judge Caban- iss’ court. Yesterday Attorney Mack asked that as there was no evidence against the bunko men they be released on their own recognizances. Judge Cabaniss granted the request, and the attorney, armed with an order of the court, applied at the city treasury for the $600. Mack was told that the money had been paid some time previous- ly on an order of the court. “The bunko men did not get the money and Sullivan will probably have another charge of forgery to face. @ ivilisleiufuiiniireieieieiieiieit @ HE scandal in which the for- | geries and peculations of “Dan’ ‘ Sullivan have involved the Police Courts is spreading. One of the sensational developments of yes- aside trom the fresh evidence of y by Sullivan by which he obtained he $600 put up by bunko men was the dis- overy that J. J. Groom, clerk of Depart- rent 3, over which Judge Fritz presides, | had received a 0 fine money March 9 and | had made no return of it. Judge Fritz promptly demanded of County Clerk Deane that he transfer Groom and send another clerk to his department. Deanc | promised” to do so, and he and Groom spent much of the evening attempting to demonstrate that the failure to make a | return of the money was due to careless- ness alone. Groom hastened to his chief as soon as he was confronted *with the charge, and to Deane he acknowledged that he had received the $30 in question. He had brought that amount with him and he paid it over to Deane, who will pay it over to the Treasurer this morning. There i likely to be more hot-footing of this character as the investigation progresses and other cases of “forgetfulness” are uncovered. It will remain for the Grand Jury to take cognizance of these irregu- larities and decide whether or not indict- ments shall be returned. | Simflar instances of neglect on the part S e e e e e o e e e e e e B e e e e S e S e ool ) ol ol RO EEEERERERRNE I S B | of Clerk Rice of Judge Conlan’s court were brought to light, only in Rice's case | he always remembered after a few days x, in the most flagrant instance—to pay over the money paid him from fines to Chief Deputy Clerk Goddard, by whom it was deposited in the treasury. Sullivan Has a Hard Day. Sullivan had a hard day of it himself. A warrant was issued against him for forgery, and he was booked on that charge. In the evening the Grand Jury spent three and a half hours investigating the charges against him. They will re- sume their investigation at 1 o'clock this afternoon, and it is regarded as a fore- gone conclusion that when they have fin- ished they will return an indictment of the slippery handy man of the Hall of Jus- tice. Clerk Groom's trouble arose from the $50 fine paid to him by J. P. Doyle on March 9. Doyle is a salesman and was arrested and fined for malicious mischief. The fine remained in Groom’s pocket until the failure to return it was discovered yesterday afternoon. As soon as Judge Fritz learned that his clerk was under a cloud he telephoned to County Clerk Deane, who is Groom’s su- perior, and asked him to send him an- other clerk until the matter could be in- vestigated. Deane said another clerk would report this morning. In speaking of the carelessness of Groom, Judge Fritz Fritz Is Surprised. “I knew that Mr. Groom had consider- able experience in the Superior Court as clerk of the different departments, I believed him to be thoroughly reliable. As far as the business of the court was con- cerned he has proved himself an efficlent clerk; and I am very much surprised to find that he neglected to turn in this money. “The mistake might not have been dis- covered but for my private docket.

R AR T e e No. $0—Plain the of my abilit I am also’ proud to say that this is the first time that such an error was recorded against me.” Judge Conlan was very much in earnest last evening when discussing the scandals ir. the Police Court. “I want to say the; will be nobody shielded in this matter,” he ;T will rot attempt to conceal ‘anything that has happened in my courtroom. I wish to say that the deputies of the County Clerk and the warrant clerks are entirely for- €ign to my jurisdiction so far as bail or orders are concerned. I went over the bocks of Clerk Rice to-day and the only discrepancy I could find, if it can be called such, was the fact that if a man was | fined $20 on the 2Ist of the month the money was sometimes not turned into the treasury until two days later. Outside of that I could not find absolutely anything against Rice. . The proceeding was irregular from first to last and Sullivan can give no explana- tion which puts it in any better light. Apparently it is a plain case against nim, and proof of the charge of forgery, so the police believe, will be such as to make conviction certain. Grand Jury Begins Work. The Grand Jury sat till 11 o'clock last night on the Sulllvan forgeries and will continue its work'this afternoon. All of the Police Judges®and clerks are sub- penaed, and in addition Captain Sey- mour, Bond and Warrant Clerk Peery and Deputies Reis and Perkins from the Treasurer's office. District Attorney By- ington was present. The inquiry was di- rected solelv_at the genuineness of the signatures. Peery, Judge Cabaniss, Clerk Fenton, Judge Conlan and Clerk Rice Were before the jury. Each of the Judges and clerks testified that certain signa- tures on orders were forgeries. The Evans order and the Chin Suey order, each for $250, were given most attention. Expert Cyril Willlams was busy to-day examining books from the police courts, the bond and warrant clerk’s office and the Treasurer’s office. Comparisons must be made and each item traced through its various stages. The work will require weeks for its completion, and not until it is finished will it be known into how much of a muddle the police courts have been lunged by the remarkable system now n vogue, nor how much criminality lies behind the glaring irregularities which Ar%pnent upon the most cursory investi- gat Kytka Examines the Orders. Expert Kytka spent the day at the Treasurer's office going over the orders for withdrawal of ball money, to compare the signatures with signatures knowa-to be genuine. He found a very large rum- ber which he does not. hesitate to pro- nounce forgeries. These go back months past. How much money loss to bail de- positors is involved must be determined of course by the bookkeeping experts and ADVERTISEMENTS. 2 Trustees’ Sales! 2 Bankrupt Stocks! P.
