A committee from | Lxhe Grand Jury, accompanied by Expert F. A. Elliot, visited the Hall of Justice | yesterday and commenced an examination | of the records of Judge Mogan’s court. It was rumored when the expert finished | his work yesterday afternoon that he had discovered several more cases where | | Frederick R. Conway, the missing Police | Court clerk, had appropriated bail money to his own private use. Grand Jurors E. P. Farnsworth and M. J. Vaughn made a careful investigation into the facts sur- rounding the four cases In which it 1s alleged Conway stole bail money that had been declared forfeited by falsifying the records and drawing fraudulent orders on the city’s treasury. They came to the oonclusien that there is good grounds for the forgery charge that has been lodged against him. Upon their report to the Grand Jury Conway will probably be in- dicted. The investigation which the Grand Jury is making into the records of the Police Court has caused consternation among the members of the Police Court ring. Aft- er a conference witn Chief of Detectives Martin the Grand Jury Committeemen announced that they infended to examine the records of every department of the Police Court. It 1s theif intention to com- pare the judgment docket 'and records of the disposition of cases as kept by the various clerks of the four Police courts with the private records kefit by the Judges. If the system of “kiting” bail money has been practiced by other clerks the investigation will develop that fact. In the meantime the detective force is making every effort to capture Conway, who is still belleved to be in hiding in the city. Captain Martin has given his men orders to make a thorough search of the tenderloin for the missing clerk. J. W. Cassens, a janitor at the Hall of Justice, is positive that he saw Conway on the cars at the corner of Hyde and Union streets yesterday morning. Cassens says he was riding downtown and saw Conway, whom he says looked blear-eyed and bloated from the effects of drink. Enockout Drops Given Soldier. G. W. Michael, a former soldler, who is now living at the New Western Hotel, re- ported to the police yesterday morning that he had been robbed of $100 in the “Moon” saloon, at the corner of Taylor and O'Farrell ‘streets, by two women. Michael said he went into the saloon with the women Tuesday night and after drinking three glasses of soda water re- membered nothing more till he awoke yesterday morning. He believed he had been given knockout drops in the soda ‘water. FRANCIsSco * A | HERRY o | FIIRITT | SMPERIAL Depuy | FOTEMNTATE » - .
