PRICE ONE “WSS BIGGAR POLICE ARE SIX RIDERS WW THS CITY Her Counsel Says She Is Prepared to Surrender if the Amount of Bail Bond Is Reduced. FEARS NO CONFESSION. Declares She Is Confined to Her Bed by Illness and Worry —Another Warrant issued for Ex-Justice Stanton, | “Mrs. Bennet! or Laura Biggar $* not in hiding,” said Lawyer Frankenstein, one of her counsel to-day. Neither Is she in Wilmington, Del., as indicated by sa despatch received to-day, Only this morning I saw and spoke with Mrs. ‘Bennett, She is stopping ‘with friends and !* making no great endeavor to keep secret her present abidigg place. Bhe is quife ready to give herself to the New Jersey authorities and submit to technical arrest if the lawyers on the other side will agree to a reduction of the ball demanded in her case. “AIL that she demands now Is the fix- ing ‘of a nominal sum to be deposited for ball. She-has found it quite impossi ble to procure a $5,000 bail bond. We consider that sum excessive. But she stands ready to offer good security for| $2,600 perhaps. She will surrender under | those conditions | Sayn She Is Ul, She at first w quite willing to sur- rendct and undergo the humiliation of arrest even with the chance of remain- ing imprisoned for a time, but I advised against such a step, telling her that it would be the utmost folly to submit now after she had discovered that the ‘obtiining of bail in the amount demand- el)was impractical. She-has no inten- te of running away. She feels safe In u epttand ake has taken, i fees keenly the insinuations WhICR Wave been thrown out by the sther side, She is a woman of refine- ment and fine education. She has been badly abused by those who should have been. the first to come to her ald and help her. She Needs Money, “By the requirements of the will of her husband she should now be tn receipt of her monthly allowance from the $1,800 annuity, but she has not received one Penny, although the will stipulated that Payment should begin immediately after the death of the testator. Nor has she received one penny of the $1,000 which the deceased provided should be paid to ‘Mrs, Bennett by the executors immedi- ely after his death. He died last Aprit, but Mrs, Bennett has recelved absolutely nothing. ff she ever comes to trial there will be a boomerang in this case which will startle some people greatly. I have no fear nor has she of a confession from any source." Piling It Up on Stanton, Executor Hawkins swore out an ad- ditional warrant against former Justice of the Peace Stanton to-day, this time alleging perjury. Stanton Is already in Jail charged with conspiracy, and is un- or 3,000 ball, which he hae been unable to procure, The warrant to-day was obtained at Long Branch, and Executor Hawkins telephoned Lawyer Young, of Hoboken, that in all probabliity Stan- ton will de held under $5,000 additional bail. This means that Stanton will stay in Jal, for a considerable time unless he makes the confession which this added wesgure is calculated will bring from im, the lawyers say.

I call tt the Vice Trust, I don't know how or from whom they get their back- Ing. He Put Out the W!

Sheehan was asked why he had never attempted to close or raid the resort known as thé Cairo, next door to the Empire, he said “Well, that is because the proprietor, Joseph Ousant, keeps good order and closes on time, That's why I've never molested him."
