GRAVER SENTENCED, Thirty Years at Hard Labor for Arson in the First Degree Mrs. Ida Lieberman Gets Six Years and Eight Menths. Bhe and One of Grauer’s Children Fainted in Court. Part LIL, of the Court of General Ses- sions, was weil-filled with an eager erowd this morning awaiting the sen- tencing of Ida Lieberman and Max H. Grauer, the convicted members of the / ng of fire-bugs, who have been arth by the efforts of Fire Mar- itchell and his assistants, and nt District-Attorney Davis, Lieberman was the first to be @alled before Judge Martine. She was @entenced to Auburn Prison for six Years and elght months. fhe was convicted Feb. 16 of arson in the secord degree for having set fire to her aportments at 621 East Twelfth atreet Dec. 18, 1893, to obtain insurance money, Max H. Graver wa: thirty years’ imprisonment labor. Grauer was convicted yesterday after- Noon, aftec a seven-day's trial, of arson in the first degree for being an acces- sory to the fire in Levi Weinberg's tallor shop, at 178 Canal street, Oct. 28 last, by which two-score of lives were Jeopardized, Although Judge Martine yesterday ad- Journed his court until 11 o'clock this morning, he did not arrive in his court foom until 11.35 o'clock, In the mean- time Mrs. Lieberman, who had been taken tothe Criminal Court Bulldin, the Tombs at 10.15 o'clock, and ha een gaurded in the prisoner's pen of the General Sessions Court, was in a State of nervousness bordering on hys- teria. Two women who devote their ves to missionary work in the City ison, tried in vain to comfort her. “I am innocent,” she kept repeatin, ever and over again as she walled ani Sobbed aloud. She sent for her lawyer, Abraham Levy, and to him she again @eclared: So help me God, I “I am innocent. am innocent.” Separated from Mrs. Lieberman w: Max H. Grausr. He was as white @ sheet of paper, and under his big, rey, cves were purple circles, adding fo his ghastly appearance. Outside in ‘the corridors two of Mrs. leberman’s brothers—the two who tried fo commit suicide when she was con- Victed—and a number of their friends paced back and forth and tried many times to get into the place where Mri ideberman was sitting in agony awalt- shg the arrival of Judge Martine. jome of the daughters of Grauer were also in the court-house, but they, as well as the others, were excluded from the court-rcom, so far as they were know! It was 11.45 o'clock when Mrs. Lieber- man was called to the bar of the court for senten: She was led in weepin; bitterly, and supported by a court of- ficer on’ one side and one of the women who had tried to comfort her on the other. | She sank into a chair and eried during all the time Counsellor Levy was making the customary mo- tions for a new trial, and arrest of .

As Judge Martine pronounced the nen- tence Mrs. Lieberman's head fell back and her eyes closed, either ina feigned or a real faint. Four court officers car- ried mull sitting in her chair, from just noon when Max H. Grauer alied to the bar for sentence jouse, of his counsel, mi tions for a new trial and for {tdgment, which were dented, e began to talk on behalf of the de- fendant. He paid # high compliment to Fire Marshal Mitchell and to Assistant District-Attorney Davis; he compliment- ed the Court, and he complimented the jury. He acknowteiged that he did not nee What other verdict they could possibly have given. He asked for mercy on be- halt of Grauer's wife and eleven chil- dren, Judge Martine paid a high tribute to the defendant’ sald that Grauer’s case was so desperate that he had had need of just such earnest and Palnstaking and able lawyers, Then the Judge talked directly to Grauer, who stood by the bar without a sign of emotion on his white face. Judge Martine told Graver that hi erlme was a fiendish on ‘You are no better than an Anarchist who throws a bomb into a crowd,” said the Judge. For such you’ death would be none too good. You cannot complain, therefore, [f I send you to a living death. You don’t deserve any mercy at my hands, but I am going to take into consideration the fact, that this particular fire occurred early in the evening, and that you did not go on the witness-stand and Ile to the jury. “One of your tools, Mrs. Bilbermeinte: received twenty-five years, and Roth- man escaped by a plea with fifteen. 1 think Rothman was worge than the Woman and you are worse than all of em. “I will now sentence you to State's prison at hard labor for thirty years, As Grauer wag led out of the court he came face to face with ‘iis nineteen- year-old daughter. The girl gave a keream and fell back in a faint. She was carled into a jury-room, and when she recovered she kept repeating over enon oa fath My dari “Oh, my poor father! My darling, loving father! It i} kill him, Poor, dear, dear, father!’ Finally one of the women, who had been trying to comfort Mrs. Lieberma: went to the girl and took her to the Tombs to see her father. Grauer will receive a commutation of eleven years and ten months for good behavior, reducing his act impris- onment to eighteen yeat and two months. mo: _— Proper Plac ectres, Lizzte and Annie Andreschock, two Patchogue girls, while golng home past the Lake View Heights Cemetery at that place Tuesday night, say they saw a ghost among the graves, The spectre was headless, according ‘to thelr story, and clad in white, Several other Patchogue peo- ple also claim to have seen it at different tim After Mra Oakes Smith's house burn down a spectral priest, draped in black, ft is alleged, moved about the cemetery at night.

The Police Board Defers Action Un- tll Next Week. The rumor ‘that Mayor Strong con- templated replacing Supt. Byrnes by a military man, and that Commissioner Andrews might be that man, was a fertile subject of discussion to-da Andrews himself was asked concerning the matter, but declared that he knew nothing more about it than what he learned from newspaper stories id rue mors, From his manner, however, it was seen that the idea waa not at all displeasing to him, Commissioner An- drews seemed ready to step into Ryrnes's shocs at a moment's notice. Col. Rice, whose name has also been prominently mentioned in connection with the position, has not been thought of seriously at Headquarters. Dr. Park- hurst has favored him. He Js not a resident of New York. Commissioner Murray sent down word to-day that he would not be present at the Board meeting this afternoon. He is confined to his home with a high fever, sore throat and other symptoms of the grip. The meeting was held without Mr. Murray. When the resolutions from last Friday were brought up, Commissioner Andtews said that as they involved very radical chaages, and as one of the Com- missioners was absent he would not call for a vote until the full Board could be rescat, At his request action was de- ferred until next Tuesday, COL.

The matter of making appointment on the civii-service eligible iat to fill va- cancies In the patrol force was brought to the attention of the Board by @ com- muniration from Lawyer William F.

Commissioner Andrews sald that he had had the matter under consideration, and made a careful Investigation of all the will bring the matter,” he to the attention of the next mect- ing. The Roard went into executive sexsion after the meeting and sent for Supt Byrnes, When the executive sesston broke up. President Martin said that routine mat. ters had been considered. Commissioner Kerwin sald the Super- Intendent was asked to explain. some matters which might just as well have been discussed in open session so far as their Importance wi concerned. None of the Commissioners, however, nor the Superintendent would tell just what had been said or done. ‘The Police Commissionera decided to- day to station two men at Thirty-fourth street and Sixth avenue to see that pe- destrians are not run over by cars and vehicles. ‘This course was taken to-day after the Board of Aldermen advised li, backed up by @ strong recommendation by Mayor Strong and a number of citl- zena. The epectal post will require two men from 6 A. M. until midnight. Patrolman Selig Whitman, who “Ajax, the strong man,” before he on the force, was transferred to-day from the Mercer street station back the Eldridge street station, When h waa taken from the Pldridge street sta- tion it was sald he intimidated Lexow witnesses.

When asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, he answered: “If I should succeed in getting a new trial, I might be sentenced to imprison ment for life. I don’t want that. I'd rather stand sentenca now. ‘The prisoner's counsel aplied for a new trial on several grounds, the most im portant being that it had just been dis- covered that Tusikewicz's mother and sister had been confined in an insane asylum in Russta, and that other mem bers of his family had also been 11 sane.

For three weeks a gang of men, under Contractor George O'Keefe, of One Hun- dred and Sixteenth street and Eighth avenue, has been tearing down the building, This morning most of the men were at work in the old kiln house, on the Forty-third street aide. The men were distributed over the building, there being some on every floor. Felt the Floor sink, ‘The walls had been torn down an far as the fourth story, when the men at work on that floor heard a rumbling sound and the floor began to sink be- neath them. A rush was made for the stairway, but before It could be reached the floor, laden with tons of debris, gave way. ‘The weight caused the beams on the third floor to give way and tt, too, fell, carrying away the supports of the second and first floors and depositing the enormous mass of bricks, girders and mortar, with its human accompani- ment, in the cellar. The crash waa heard blocks away, and a great cloud of dust went up into the sky. In the midst of the rour were heard the cries of the men. A «gen men ran distractedly in all directions to send in fire alarms and calls for ambulances, in a fee minutes fire engines came clanging up the streets and avenues, and ambulances dashed up to the bullding. The luborers who had escaped, the firemen and spectatora attacked the ruins and began tearing the debris away with their hands and crow bars. A lex here, an arm there, and a head in another place, showed the best points of attack. The men who worked on the ruins were thoughtless of danger, even though the standing wall seemed likely to topple over at any minute. Fire Chief Gicquel took command ot the fire forces and the volunteer res- cuers, He dirscted thelr work to the best advantage. in a short while eleven men were taken out. Of these two were already dead. Another, since iden- ufled as John O'Connor, was uncon- scious and breathing feebly. He was hurried Into @ Rooseviet Hospital am- bulance, but died on the way downtown. No one knows yet Just what caused the disaster. Chief Gicquel’s idea in| probably the best one offered among the many.
