Yames Crawford, Said to Be Viotim of a Jeweller’s Conspiraoy. LATTER NOW UNDER ARREST, District-Attorney Jerome will move to-day for the release from Elmira Reformatory of James Crawford, of No. 241 West Forty-elghth street, arguing that he was sent to the reformatory on perjured testimony. Arrests are also expected to follow charges brought against James Bergman, a jeweller, at No. 37 Maiden lane, who Is accused of subornation of perjury in Crawford's case. It is belleved in the District-Attor- ney's office that Crawford and at least one other man are the victims of a con- splracy and that they are not crimini but merely debtors. Deteotives are in- vestigating the remarkable confession made by Loule Fink, Bergman's brother-in-law, Crawford was arrested, charged by Bergman with grand larceny. Craw- ford declared he had bought jewelry on the instalment plan and was arrestod when he was unable “to make regular payments. Bergman charged that the goods were taken on memorandum and were not returned. The case might have gone unnoticed and Crawford might have served his term had not Bergman fallen out with his brother-in-law. He had the lattor arrestod on the same charge as Craw- ford. Fink called for the District-At- torney and told him that he had per- jured himself In the case against Craw- ford and in other cases, Including the one against Adolf Schneider. Schneider convinced Judge Coming that he was the victim of a iracy, and his sen- tence was suspend Fink sald thal others had perjured themselves, and gave thelr names to the District-Attorney.
