Jerome in Person Softens the Rigors of Tech- nical Arrest and Consents ta an Ad. journment Until Friday Afternoon, On a warrant charging the crime of grand larceny George W. Perkins, partner of J.

The Code of Criminal Procedure was strained by Mr. Jerome until the seams spread, so as not to humiliate the young millionaire in any way. Reardon was ordered by his chief not to take Mr. Perkins before Magis- trate Mocs, who Issued the w nt, nor to any other magistrate who might be sitting in a vulgar police court. That the law directs such a course did not disturb Mr. Jerome. Mr. Perkins had bent so far as to await the war- rent in the mahogany office of his lawyer. Then everything had been beau- tifully framed so that Mr. Delafield could petition Justice Greenbaum in the Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus. THE WICKED REARDON SCORED. The petition was presented while Reardon was bowing humbly to the man against whom his warrant was directerl. In the petition it was alleged that one Edward J. Reardon was illegally restraining Geerge Washington Perkins of his liberty and the Court was asked to order the subpoena server to bring his prisoner before him so that he might bo set at llberty pending an woteed't from the charge des described in the warrant — When Justice Seasnbaun Issued the BILL BLOCKED to see the eminent prisoner led he bar.
