NEW YORK, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 97, 1903. THEY SEEK THE READ OF ADAM CROSS District Attorney Requisi- tions All Blotters from Stations in His Former Inspection District. SOME SIGNIFICANT VISITS. Brooks, Walsh and Langan and Ex-Wardman Bissert Confer with Jerome or His Represen- tative This Afternoon. ‘That it is District-Attorney Jerome's (intention to prefer charges against In- ®pector Cross as a result of the “John Doe" inquiry to which he has summoned for examination former Chief William 8. Devery and other police officials, past and present, became a certainty this atternoon when Assistant District-Attor- ney Morgan requisitioned the station- house blotters from all precincts in Cross's former inspection district. ‘The books of the Delancey, Eldridge and Bast Fifth street station-houses were brought to the District-Attorney's office this afternoon. Mr. Morgan be- gan at once to study them in the light Ot the facts he has gleaned during his many conferences with former Ward- man Bissert, who was collector of pro- ‘tection money throughout the precinct while Inspector Cross was in charge. Later in the afternoon ex-Wardman George Bissert, accompanied by his pounsel, Emanuel Friend, called upon Assistant District-Attorney Morgan and assisted him in going over the blotter pf the “Red Light" district station- houses. Théy were two hours in con- ference. Justice Mayer, of Special Sessions, will not begin the hearing of. witnesses until next week, as the District-Attor- ney 1s likely to remain in his country Place in Lakeville over Sunday. ‘The first official to reach the building was Acting Inspector Walsh. When In- Spector Walsh was a captain, in com- mand of the Eldridge Street Station, his inspector was Adam Cross. Inspeotor Walsh had hardly left the building, when Inspector Brooks and Capt. Langan, of the Detective Bureau, came in. They went at once to the vlsce of the District-Attorney and had a long conference with Mr. Jerome. As the head of the Detective Bureau is Inspector Brooks, and his lMeutenant is Capt. Langan, their appearance together gave a fresh impotus to the rumor crop, Both officials, however, denied any con- neotion with the “John Doe’ proceed- ings. They sald that they were in the building on police business and saw Mr, Jerome to get his advice on some matters, Questions addressed to the District- Attorney elicited this reply: “There 1s nothing in police matters tals week. I am going to my country home at Lakeville this afternoon and nothing will be done until my return,” THINK WAN WAS | SLAIN ON BARGE. Police Grappling in the Erie Basin for the Body of the Captain Who Cannot Be Found. James Bauley, of Onelda County, cap- tain of the barge 8. D.

Duryea's test!- mony to-day in his wife's sult tor separation. There was a big crowd In Justice Blanchard’s court-room to-day to hear the cross-examination of Chester B. Duryea in the suit of his wife, Nina Larre Smith Duryea, for a separation. Francis L. Wellman, attorney for Mrs. Duryea, put her busbard on the rack. “Do you agree with your ‘father, Gen. Hiram Duryea, that your marriage vas @ flat failure and that you and uur wife are unfitted for each other?” asked Mr, Weilman, The young husband sald he didn't, “Would you like to take her back again and live with her? ; “E have not sald so," gentle-voiced husband, Even Wellman, schooled to self-con- trol and self-repression, could hardly conceal the stress and excitement, and he articulated with diMeculty. “But would you?” he asked. Duryea hesitated. The wife, sitting behind her lawyers, was calm, curious. She 1s no lawyer. She did not realize the potentiality of the question, but Wellman was like a voleano ready to burst. Duryea had almost answered as he would have him answer. Would he say It at the end of that hesitation? Would he say “no” and thereby give the case to his wife? Must Come in Proper Spirit. Slowly. as if considering every phrase, Duryea, who s no lawyer, said at last: “Yes, but upon thece . stipulations; First, that she shall come back to me in a proper spiel: and a willingness to perform her wifely duties in a proper way; second, that she shall stop her misrepresentations, and, lastly, that there shall be no more mother-in-law lving with us." That was only a part of what the lawyer wanted, but there was figating round left, and he went at this con- ditional offer to take back the wife “hammer-and-tongs” about the’ “mis- representations," the cessation of which was one of Duryea’s conditions, Duryea was a provokingly cool wit- ness under this cross-examination, Mr. Wellman asked for an example of these | misrepresentations, and got it, He got it, hot shot, and got @ great many of them, much to his discomiitur.

This agreement, it was held, deprived the Hagaman relatives of their stand- ing in court, and consequently the pro- ceedings before the referee were illegal. Dentex Receiving Consideration. A counter affidavit of Isaac Ma was presented by Mr. Unger. | charged that the release referred to was delivered to Andrew D.
