William H. ‘Tillinghast, the man who cenfessed to having been a professional juror for the Metropolitan, while the prosecution did nothing to the men higher up who employed Tillinghast. ‘The investigation, which ts, expected to bring about the need of the services of a Deputy Attorney-General, is being conducted by City Judge Samuel Sea- bury, of the City Court. It began last week with the service of more than « dozen subpoenas, and went on to-day behind closed doors. What the results have been so far Judge Seabury de- clines to make public, but It is known that many startling facts have been disclosed. . Confessions Pigeon-Holed, Another peculiar development re- flects on the manner in which the Dis- trict-Attorney pigeon-holed the con- fessions of former employees of the tn- vestigation department of the Metro politan when they came forward es } early as inst October and told of the ‘ “voucher system’? by witch investiga- { tors were enabled to attain large sums for “general expenses’ and used the < money for bribery. One of the first of these confeasion- makers was Stanley 8. Bagg, a former investigator. (His confession was eald to be extensive and minute in many points. Today, however, ft was al- leged by those interested in the inves- + tigation that ne had evaded service of } = subpoena to appear before Jixige See- \ bury 1 Steps have been taken to bring him ; to the hearing on eontempt proceedings. ‘ ‘When asked regarding this, Judge Sea- 5 bury declined to tale more than to ad ‘ mk that Bagg had not appeared to tes- tifly as yet. Trouble has een experienced in get- ting other witnemes and !t is believed ‘that in the time Mntervening since they » confessed to the District-Attorney they have been persuaded by interested per- gons to refrain from further disclosures, ' Meanwhile Judge Seabury is taking the testimony of those who have responded ¢ to tho subpoenas, ‘To Act as Magistrate. ‘This will pootpy several days at least, and if Judge Seabury is con- vinced that evidence of a crime has been presented, he will issue warrants or summonses for the ‘alleged crim- finals, Then the case will be heard before him in public in the eame way as before a Police Magistrate. Should he hold those, the cases will go to the Grand Jury, It 18 in confident expectation of this lust step that the appointment of a eputy Attorney-General is sought. ‘he reason is that Mr. Jerome and his assistants, Nott and Symth, who have had charge of the Tillinghast case, hhve stated that they can do nothing to the men higher up. Also, it is alleged, that they have not acted decisively on the confessions made to them. Regarding this Judge Seabury to-day, refused to say whether he expected the appointment of « Deputy Attorney Gen- eral, “I ‘see no need of talking of thet now,” he said, ‘but I want it under atood thmt when I sent to Mx Jerome for some papers in this, cane he very eourteously sent them to me at ones,” Saye He Was Approached. ‘The present etage of the investigation has been brought about, however, by ewyer A. Edward Woodruff, who, with Henry M. Btevenson and others, pre- sented the facts in thelr possession to With the sentencing of ‘Tilinghast to @ three-months term on Blackwell's Island on his confession, the District- Attorneys office has dropped the mat- ter, Saying that the statute of Lmita- Sone prevents further prosecution, . i ‘Woodruft wad to-day; ‘ion’ of prominent interests have tried to have this cage dsopped, and even I have been approached, The Dis- trict-Atlorney’s dfflce has shown iittle @esire to push the case, I do hot know hether thay fear disclosing the man her tp or not.” _ Lawyet Woodruft's spettannet sare ‘William H, Tilinghast confessed that be had for year accepted bribes trom officials of the Metropolitan Street Rail- way Company. Under section 74 of the Penal Code, he could have been indicted torneys for the company who suppitea | the money to bribe Tillinghast, Under | nection 71 of the Penal Cote, Bugg could have been indicted and sent to prison for ten years, or fined $5,000, or both. “Tillinghast, subsequent to his mak- ‘ng ‘his confession, in October, 1906, committed @ misdemeanor in falsely representing himself as a juror named Henderson, and asking to be excused from jury service, For this small misdemeanor he 4s pounced upon by the District-Attorney's office and sent to the penitentiary for three months.
