The Documents Covered the Period Between the Years 1863 and 1883, WERE HIDDEN FOR A PURPOSE Their Discovery Revives the Stories of Suppresston of Documents at @800 Each. Arother big find of lost or pigeon- holed papers has just been brought to| light in the District-Attcrney’s office. The story of the finding of 2,00 “mis- laid" indictments last Saturday week | has been told, but the fact that about & thousand police court complaints were also found where they had been hidden | for years in an old box was for some reason suppressed. The indictments might px Deen laid aside accidentally ly improbable, but the police court com- plaints were believed to have been hid- @en for an ulterior purpose. These complaints, covering all crimes from petty larceny to murder, were originally sent to the District-Attorney to be submitted to the nd Jury for action, but they never reached the Grand Jury. They were suppressed deliberately. After they reached the District-Attor- ney's office nothing more was heard of them. ‘The complaints run from 1863 to 1883, their removal from this city for tne | sae pul though ‘moat, of the caxcs involved in the “mislaid" complaints are out- , there may be homicide casen among them, w! ean sill be pressed.

Then a child began to whimper in the court-room, and the Coroner ordered the child's mother, Mrs. Bertha Jordan, of 40 West Seventy-reventh street, to get out of the court-room, ‘The woman, who was a witness in another case, went out of the room with her three small children and stood in the corridor until a gentleman found her a seat in an ante-room, When Dr, Fisher, superintendent of the hospital, was on the witness stand Lawyer Hilton, who appeared for Ho sked him if, in jon, Howell was suffering from 4 when he jumped from the win- do: “The dector is not here as an expert | and needn't answer,” cried the Coroner, “Lam going to put a stop to all of there | doctors acting as experts in all of our courts.” “T would suggest,” t * began Lawyer Hil- from any Hl conduct will | one," shor thie. case Weil,” persisted the lawyer, ose presiding at inquests al right in their ideas of the law.” ep all,” commanded, tne Gorener. “If you don’t keep qiuet T will not al: | low “you the privilege, of being here Keep quiet, 1 tell you,’ ‘The Yury’ found that the Presbyterian Hospltal authorities were in no way re- eponsible for Howell's s suicide, HOEBER AND HIS NEW HAT.
