It would have been paying Mr. Jerome an undeserved tompliment to suppose that he would pay any attention to the wish of the Governor that the McA mystery should be cleared up. In order to remove any @oubdt as to his attitude on the question Mr. Jerome has furnished the Brooklyn Eagle with a review of the case fas it presents itself to him. It does not dispose of case, but it does dispose finally and completely of the question of Mr. Jerome's fitness to represent the State [a any further proceedings connected with it Having started out with the theory of Jerome simply refuses to accept any testimony @ource whatever which upsets this theory, With equal empartiality and indifference he rejects alike the ev! Gence of the Roosevelt Hospital surgeons. of the Magis ‘rate and of the six separate witneases to the removal of McAuliffe. He even refuses to admit the existence of &@ motive for the murer. This final summing up should close Mr. Jerome's con- mection with the case If he has any regard for tha widely-expressed public opinion which has declared its @issent from his conclusions he should wish to be re Meved. If Gov. Odell is really anxious to serve the ends of justice and avert a lasting disgrace to tho State he will recognize that Mr. Jerome has disqualified himself, and that the appointment af a Deputy Attorney-General fe absolutely essential m any Quite Surprising.—It wt)! surprise the paople of New York to Wearn from a decision of the United States Cireuit Court of Appeals in Louisiana that tt Is @ oriminal offenses to hold any person th Involuntary servitude for dent 1 New York our chattel mortgage joan sharks have no diMenity in holding Iarge numbers of pe tary rvitude for debt Ludiow Street be a violation of the Conetitution of the 1 BIG WINNINOS AT FARO.
