CAPT. CREEDEN TALKS|LMOLAW-SIGE TRIAL AGNNICHKIGD 63S THE FEATURE Sergt. roo A Ales Bel Before the Ex- traordinary Grand Jury. Anthony Comstock and Mrs. Stacom Paid Their Respects. Westervelt to Be Tricd Before the Board To-Morrow. None of the police officers under in- dictment will be called to trial until the convening of the Extraordinary Term of the Court of Oyer and Terminer, next week, when Justice Pardon C. Williams, of Watertown, will sit, In the mean time, the Oyer and Ter- miner Grand Jury is very busy taking testimony in police and kindred cases growing out of the exposures made be- fore the Lexow Committee. Among the witneses who appeared be- fore the grand inquisition to-day were Police Capt. Timothy J. Creeden, who confessed before the Lexow Committee that his friends paid $15,00 for his ap- Pointment to a Captaincy; Sergt. Groo, Patrolman Jacob Wallenstein and Au- gustus Thorne, the “collector” tor Capt. Stephensor in the Leonard street pre- einct. Anthony Comstock, the executive agent of the Society for the Suppression Vice, who was accused by two Lexow Mitnesses of having extorted a ‘bribe f $1,000 from them for procuring a dis- missal of an indictment against one of them, and which testimony was after- ward stricken from the record, was also in attendance before the Grand Jury. Mrs, Mary Stacom, for twenty-five Keni a disorderly house keeper in the ‘enderloin Precinct, was taken {nto the Grand Jury room in great ex itement, id_these incidents and the reappear: ce of Mrs, Augusta Thurow, the chief Witness against the police of the East Fifth street station, bode no good to whilom and present corrupt police off- cers Tt in said Mrs. Thurow will be a witness before tha Grand Jury to- morrow. ts. Btacom succeeded in eluding Lexow procesa-servers, but the subpoe- Pacservers of the Criminal Court, found er after a ten-<lays’ search in Fiftieth Street. Her uppearance, following that of other recognized ‘Tenderloin denisons, @trengthens the belief that the Grand Jury is after Inspector Williams, for his acts while Captain of that Precinct, Activity has heen renewed at Police Headquarters, too, Capt. Josiah A. ‘Weatervelt, who has been ‘charged with neglect of duty in permitting polley.shops to flourish tndisturbed in_ the Twen- ty-eighth Precinct while he was in com- Tand there, has heen notified to appear for trial hefore the, Commissioners morrow. Westervelt's trial was called | Jast_month and adjourned, in deference to_the Lexow Committee, ‘The Over and Terminer Grand Jury adjourned for the day at 1.25, without golng into court. 303 POLICEMEN ARE SICK. Four Are Capta Critical -Meakim in a ‘ondition, Returns aj. Police Headquarters to-day showed a large increase in the number of sick policemen during the past forty- eight hours, The total reported at 5 A. M. from all precincts emounted to 30. Included in the figures are Capts. Mar- tens, Slevin, Price and Meakim. Capt. * Gallagher, who has been on the sick list several days, reported for duty last night. Inspector Conlin visited Capt. yesterday, and reported that he was langerously ill. He said Meakim was weak, very much emaciated and the Inspector is impressed from the Cap- tain's appearance, with a belief that the ease requires the most medical | treatment and nursing to da fatal termination, LEXOW SEES STRONG. Discussed Big Bilin to Heantrodwcca Next Thursday, For an hour and a half this forenoon Benator Clarence Lexow and W, Travers Jerome, assistant counsel to the Lexow Committee, sat in the stifling a.mo phere of the Mayor's office and talked with Mayor Strong. It was apparent from the earnestness of the conversation that a momentous Question was being discussed. ‘After the conlerenes neither | Mr. Jerome nor Senator Lexow would state What the conference was about except in the most general way. The Power of Reme new Police Magistrates bill formed the chief topic for discussion, and there Were several other matters of import- nce talked about, the exact nature of Which could not be learned.

Course] Busy in Making Peremp- tory Challenges. After two sittings of the Supreme Court, the net ‘esult of which was the impaneling of one juror, Justice Patter- son to-day made a third Sttempt at the trial of William Laidlaw against Rus- sell Sage for $50,000 damages, for in- Juries received when, as alleged by Laidlaw, he was interposed as a shield to protect the millionaire from the bomb thrown by Norcross, the crank, on Dec. 4, 1894, On the first trial Justice Andrews or- dered a dismissal on the ground that it had not been shown that Sage had moved Laidlaw from a position of safety into one of danger. ‘The second trial resulted in a verdict of $25,0W for Laidlaw. Sage appealed and was suc- cessful, The last adjournment of the case rendered an entirely new proceeding necessary. The lone juror was dis- charged, so that the present trial is really the fourth. Col. James and Rush Tageart ap- Peared in court for Sage. Laldlaw was represented by ex-Judge Noah Davis, Col.
