Phystcally a wreck, but with undaunt- ed spirit, Sam Parks, the labor agitator, laid plans to-day to get even with his enemies. An fron will is all that keeps this man moving, and the will appears to be well-tempered, for it shows no signs of bending or breaking, At this afternoon's meeting of the United Board of Building Trades Parks will take the first step toward what he regards as vindication. “I've got a scheme,” he sald to an Evening World reporter at his home, No. 131 Fast Fighty-third street, to-day, “that will pound the employers as hard as they have pounded me. It's a scheme that will make them sit up and take no- tice when It gets to work, I've got it all planned out and I'll be ready to tell what it is after the meeting of the United Board of Building Trades this afternoon."” Parka's flat was filled with the flowers presented to him by his admirers yes- terday. He sat in a big chair, limp and apparently unable to help himself, his shaven head and the pallor that even five days of prison can give a inan tell ng plainly the story of bis imprison-) ment.

I had no right to go there in the first place, but I will say for the Warden and the keepers that they treated me fine. They seemod to know that,it was wrong that I was there.” Parks was asked what course he would pursue in dealing with Prealdent Nel- son, of the United Board of Bullding ‘Trades, who repudiated him when he got Into trouble. on," he said, “is a mighty small proposition. He dcean't cut any ‘ce. All I can say about that is that I'm golng to get back at the knockers and I'm going to got the knockers out of the Housesmiths and Bridgemen’s Union. Stronger than Ever, He Says. “This persecution has made me strong- er than ever with my,men and with labor men generally. Do you think that if my mep, who know me, thought I was a grafter they would fix It to have me lead them ‘n the Labor Day Parade? I think that parade will show the people of New York what the laboring men think of me, “All I've got to say about my case is that I am satisfied with what my lawyers did. They couldn't do any more. The newspapers didn’t give me fair treatment.” The District-Attorney’s legal cam- palgn against Parks will be in abey- ance until Justice Blanchard passes on the motion of Parkss coungg) for a change of venue, When this matter has been decided Assistant District-Attorney Rand will immediately proceed to try Parks on the three indictments for extortion pending aginst him.

David Hirschfeld, of No, 3% Broad- way, to-day made an application to Justice Blanchard in Spectal Term, Part I. of the Supreme Court, to have Dethlef C. Hansen, a lawyer, of No. 49 Wall street, punished for contempt of court in not paying Josephine Martin $5°8. Last’ summer Miss Martin brought sult against Clarence W. Dolan, a son of Thomas Dolan, a multi-millionaire, of Philadelphia, to recover $%0,00 for breach of promise of marriage, and Mr. Hansen appeared as her counsel, Sev- eral weeks after sult was brought, Mr. Hirschfield sald, negotiations for the settlement of the case were begun and $7,500 was paid. The lawyer said that Miss Martin had an agreement with Hansen to divide the money. “The money," continued Mr. Hirach- fleld, ‘97.60, was lald on Hansen's table one day and divided into two equal parts of $3,750 . ‘Hansen took his pile, but Miss Martin could not get all of her pile into her purse. Hansen gath- ered up the $760 that Miss Martin could corpion was formerly the yacht! not get into her purse and sald: ‘I will give it to you downstairs when you get into your carriage.’ When they got to the lic Hansen did not give her thej Miss Martin, from time to th ded the money from her lawyer, mnd finally he gave her $183, but he has since failed to pay her any more. “After being retained as attorney in the matter," Mr. Hirschfield added, “1 went to Mr. Hangen and demanded the balance of the money. Hansen said: ‘I haven't got any money.'” Mr. Hirshfield got an order from Jus- tice Davis for Hansen to show cause Why he should not be puntshed for con- tempt. Aaron P. Jetmore, counsel for Mr, Heaaén, sald that his client denied all the allogations made by Miss Martin, He said that he had krown Hansen for many years as an honorable and upright man and that the present counsel for the woman had been misinformed and misied, He said that originally there Was an agreement between the woman and her lawyer that they should receive nh one-half of the money recovered, but that Miss Martin wanted to bring other lawyera In and another agreement waa entered into whereby Miss Martin agreed to take 40 per cent. of the money and let the iawyers divide the remain: ing © per cent. ‘The sult, Mr, Jetmore declared, was settied upon this taats. “Hansen has a release in full from Miss Mar(in,” declared Mr. Jetmoro, as since Nlone business for her, and she bas never until recently made. an; demand upon my client for the money,’ Justice Blanchard reserved decision.
