Chase of Detectives After Max H, Grauer, the Defendant. ‘The fifth Way 2f the trial for arson in the first degree of Max H. Grauer, the insurance adjuster, found the Court of General Sessions filled with a crowd of weexers after the sensational, insurance | men and others. It was after 11 o'clock when the trial ‘was resumed, Judge Martine having had other business connected with the court to claim his attention earlier. Nathan Natilsohn, of 58 Division street, the young brother-in-law of Levi Wein- berg, was the first witness called, He testified to having locked up Louis Rothman and Mrs. Silbermeister in Weinberg’s store on the afternoon of ®unday, Oct. 2, when they set fire to the place. He pointed out Rothman and identified him as the firebug, as Rothman stood Up in the court-room with a hat over the handcuffs on his wrists. He said: Om Sunday afternoon, about § ‘o'clock, Iw ein the store at 178 Canal atrect with Roth Ban and Mra. siibermeisier. My brother-in-law, Weinberg, had giver me the key and told me to Jock them in. Before I locked them in I saw Rothman go to the side door and look out. Tt 414 not see Rothman have anything when he ame to the store, pit the woman had something 8 matchol—under her cape. Lawyer House asked that all of the witness's testimony be stricken from the record, on the ground that It did not cor with the form of the. indict- ment. The motion was denied. Detective Sergeant Charles B. Mc- lanus arrested Rothman as he was leaving the place. Detective McManus told about arrest- bn yr at the latter's house, and @ number of books and papers. Assistant’ Fi-e Marshall Freel was called He was iargely instrumental in Funning down many of the members of the fire-bug gang. He told how Rosen- baum hel; him to work up the case againe Graver. Mr. Freel, gave a @Taphic account of the fire at Weinberg's tore, and told of the people in the ten- ment, above escaping over the roof of an adjoining house. Some of the partially charred wood, showing that only the surface was burned, which the witness cut from the door frame in the store, was submitted to the jury for inspection. A baitered tin gallon can was also produced. The witness said a fireman mamed Dougherty handed him the can about twenty minutes after the depart- ment reached the fire. The witness said the contents smelled of naptha or bensine. Gra check-book and insurance rs, including powers of attorney Were identified. Court took a recess at 1.10 o'clock. At the afternoon session before Mr. Freal look the stand testimony was given by Fanny Schulman, of 2 Chrystie @tree. She was living at 178 Canal t at the time of the fire, occupying Spartmenta immediately above the store. @ object was to show that the tenant the house were In peril of their lives, irs Schulman said when she heard the cry of fire she left her apartments with her family, to find escape to the street cut off by the stairway. They were ‘obliged to force their way through the joke to the roof and escape that way. jer testimony was corroborated by Celia Morris and other tenants in the hour at the time. Joseph Sternberg, manager of the Germania Savings Bank, fdentified Grauer # signature in his books, and otated that the defendant opened an account Dec, 22, 184. James Robinson, of fire patrol Com- pany No. 1, took charge of the premises ter the fire from 7 o'clock until 9 o'clock. He swore he saw another fire- man bring aphtha or bengine can from the cellar after the fire, James L. Burnett, who relieved Rob- inson in watching ‘the store after the fire, testified that no one dixturbed the roperty in any way while he was here, He cand Heinrich) Ludwig watched the place for a week. Ludwig cciroborated Burnett. Fire Patrolman Richard 8. Grass tes- tifiea to finding the naphtha can in the cellar, while the fire was going on. He went down through a trap door in the floor of the store. He identified the can now in court. Nothing new was brought out on his cross-examination. Other firemen | were called, pees roborated the testimony already given. Vincent W. Journs identified Rothman as John L.

When the fire was somewhat under control, half a dozen firemen and many policemen made their way up the drenched stairs and into the rooms of the keeper. His sick wife was carried downstairs aid tis children were taken out a Uttle frightened, but not at all hurt. They were all taken to the rooms of Mr. Martin in the Court-House, where they were well taken care of. Fall of the Big Re! Within a few minutes after they had seft the rooms the bronze bell, striking ance as it fell, broke from its support and crashed through the roof and ceil- ing to the second floor. In its passage It fell through the rooms occupied by Dunne and his family. Ten minutes later the ornamental features of the handsome cupola dropped to the roof, leaving but the skeleton frame with the huge compos!- tion statue of Justice surmounting It. ‘The crowd which had collected had by ‘is time filled all the streets surround- {ng the Citv Hall, as well as the radia- ting thoroughfares. All traMe in the neighborhood of the City Hall had been engines were pumping water into the big building. it was almost 8.30 oclock when those who were watching the statue saw it move slightly forward, if bowing to the crowd The people were watching for the statue to fall, and as it moved a volces shouted “There she Down Went the sintue.

The fire shows, however, that it was bullt of wood of the most Inflam- mable character. Torrents of water were by this time rushing down the stairs and filling every room and corridor to the depth of a couple of inches. Two of the big fluted wooden columns which extended from the staircase to the high ceiling of the second floor, be- came somehow filled with water, and burst with a loud report, releasing a tre- mendous volume of water, which poured like @ cataract down the steps, across the main hall and overflowed Into the street. Keeper Dunne, who returned to the City Hell after he had placed his wife and children in places of safety, said that $60,000 would not cover the loss. The big bell which has tolled out fire alarms since 1856 was broken by its fall. It was valued at $5,000. 4 Tn the Common Council Chamber there were some valuable paintings of the ex- Mayors of the city.
