who has been waiting trial In the Tomb

Week becaU the Tombs I now fearfully
OVSI crowded.
Investigation hy The BDM yesterday dis
closed the fail that the city prison Is
housing almost twice the number of pris

to the worst horror of Sing Sing, has

fciing Bittl never knew.

General Sessions.
T.'IS la Cells Built for 4111.
The Grand Jury Investigation last
spring has not bettered conditions a whit.
Last night there were about 7J& pi Is
WIN in a place built to hold 425. Eighty
Of the 42.1 Tombs . . lis are quite as bad
a some at Sing Sing.
Since last spring ihp population of the
Tombs has ilsen steadily until now It la
at pretty nearly the hlgheat point on
record. Much of this congestion Is due
0 the fact that only three Judges of the
General Sessions Court were sitting dur
iiig the summer months. Thi year the
tinec have frequently dw indled to two and
ponictlmcs to one. On Wednesday of this
week, tor Instance, but one out of five
posblble divisions of the court was in ses-
ion.
I 'art of this alogging of the courts, a
logging that bothered no one except the
unfortunates who rrad to stay in the
Tomba In hot weather. Is due to the con
fusion at Albany. No one has been ap
pointed to rill the place of Judge o'Sulli-
van, who died six weeks ago. The power
or appointing his lucceasor rests with the
Qovsrnot, but neither acting Governor
Glynn nor Gov. Sulser has moved to fill
the vacs no) .
The case of I he unfortunate man who
ha been In th Tomb four month await
ing trial was turned over by Judge Foster
to Probation officer I). K. Kimball for in
vestigation. Although the length of this
man's stay In Jail 1 perhaps exceptional
the plight in which he finds himself Is an
everyday story to those whose work lies
ia the criminal courts.
Ilanaer la Overernw ding.
great is the shifting of Tombs prig-
oners, tin- coming and going of all sort
and conditions, that the physical exam
ination of new -Tnmates is necessarily
pratty superficial. Consequently there Is
grave risk of putting a well man In a cell
with the victim of the most fatal and con
tagious disease.
For the 42j cells there were 7J9 pris
oners on Wednesday night and from
twenty to thirty prisoners were added
Thursday ami yesterday That means
that fully 170 prisoners apent last night
two -in a ceil. At Sing Sing In its worst
days there have been only 500 men two
in a cell and it must be remembered that
at King Sing they were all convicted men
serving a. sentence, while In the Tombs
the great bulk of the prisoners are not
convicted of any crime at all. At Sing
Sing doubling up never affected mora than
42 per cent, of the Inmates. In the Tomba
close to 90 per cent, of the prisoners
suffer.
Cells in the Tombs are somewhat wider
than at Sing Sing in the new prison, but
in the annex to the old Tomba prison,
.. built twenty -eight years ago and dark and
foul there is little difference. And
doubling up m the Tombs annex Is a regu
lar thing.
Cells at Osslnlng are 7 feet high, 7 feet
long ami S Hi feet wide. In the Tombs
proper they are 8 feet 4 Inches high, 8
feet 1 U Inches long and feet 4 Inches
wide. The eighty cells in the Tombs an
nex are the same height and half an Inch
longer, but only 5 feef i Inches wide.
In the Tomb one gete the Sing Ring sen
sation of beasts In a cage, and an 111
smell Ins cage too.
Haa Had Condition of Slag sing.
Of course the Tombs has a system of
ventilation, but It does not seem to freshen
the air any. One of the worst features
of Sing Sing is noticeable also In the
Tombs vermin.
Vermin Is especially to be dreaded In
the older part of the prlaon. The cell
walls of painted brick cannot be kept
clean, rne surface is too rough for that.
Flagstcnea on the floor of the older
cells offer cracks and uneven surfaces to
collect dirt and dirty water
"If I were committed to the Tomba
overnight." ald u man who knows the
prison well yesterday, "1 should rather
expert to waken the next niornlng with
vermin on me. The chance would favor
that. I'm not saying that the prison
management doesn't do all it can to keep
the place clean, but money and keepers
are limited, the prison nlanf is old an
crowded and hopelessly dirty, and the
come ami go or prisoners I such as to
make cleanliness next to impossible.
"All the s.niij no mutter what a man
has done, ha the city sny right to
degrade him that way'.'"

Responsibility far 4'oagrstloa.
Assistant District Attorney Charles C.
Nott. Jr., who I a candidate on the fusion
ticket for Judge of General Session, said
yesterday that only a careful analysis of
the prisoners In the Tombs would show
where the chief blame for present conges
tion lay. Mr. Nott said that he was sure
that It was not in the District Attorney's
otflce, which was pretty well up with ita
work anil had many rises prepared a
good while ahead.
"You must take a census of the five
daer of prison ?ra." said Mr. Nott.
"Thdse are: Those awaiting trial, those
awaiting Indictment, men awaiting sen
tence, others serving sentence and peni
tentiary prisoners at work tn the Tombs.
Those awaiting Indictment and those
awaiting trial are the only ones charge
able to the District Attorney's office.
Nor are we wholly responsible for delay
in those case. Indictments are the wdrk
of the Grand Jury and the hastening of
trial depends chiefly upon the Judges of
General and Special Sessions. For an
excessive number of men serving sen- I
fences In the Tombs or for an excessive
number of penitentiary prisoners at work
there I do not think any one could be
held particularly blamable."
Inquiry seems to shew that the slacken
ing up In the General Sessions Court Is,
more than any other factor, responsible
for putting men, women and boys un
convicted of any crime In cells with an
air space considerably less than the law
requires for tenement dwellers. Judae
i ''Sullivan I dead. Judge Craln. Malone
and Swarn have been on vacation. JuJge
hosier, artei plugging away all summer,
has quit for a while, and Judges Mulqueen
and Bosalsky are the only two actually
on deck.
There was no attempt to try bail caaes
In the summer. Even then the Tombs
got mor- andXmore crowded, more and
more unbearably hot, dirty and dangerous
to health and morals. Yet not so long
ago the Judge or General Sessions got
their pay raised to $17,500 a year, the
salary of a Supreme Court Justice.
Bulletins Hksw Standstill.
William Travera Jerome, when District
Attorney, organised what waa really an
extra court to relieve the Tombs conges
tion. He culled It General Sessions. Part
V., continued. It has been discontinued.
Nobody seen yesterday seems to know
why. It was Mr. Jerome too who began
the practice of posting bulletins in the
District Attorney's office showing among
oth'r things the number of prisoners In
th Tombs chargeable to Genernl Ses
sions and the number of hours a day th
Judges worked. It waa this record which
revealed the standstill at which the court
has been much of the summer.
Undoubtedly the requirement of Jury
trials greatly delays the work of Gen
eral Sessions. It was said yesterday that
if Special Sessions, trying cases with
speed and without a Jury, had not kept
pretty well up with its calendar the
Tombs would have three In a cell and
prisoners would overflow into the district
prisons.
Among the conditions In the Tomba
which were denounced last December by
an extraordinary Grand Jury which In.
vestlgated the prison conditions which
have not been bettered at all despite the
efforts or Commissioner of Correction
1 'at rick A. Whitney are :
Shocking sanitation and confinement
that menaced health.
two men in a cell two boy In a
cell.
Overworked keepers ; men on duty
twelve hours a day.
Lack of hospital accommodations.
Prisoners suffering from "loathsome
contagious disease" mingle with their
fellows.
Doctor but three hours a day.
At the present rate of Increase each
cell In the Tombs will contain two per
sons within a month, and aa It la a phys
ical impossibility to put tnree in a cell
overnight the scandal of conditions there
will be great enough to lead to official
action.
It waa pointed out yesterday that Su
preme Court Justices could alt In Gen
eral Sessions arid probably would for
a short time If the District Attorney were
to make the request. That would help
greatly to lessen Tombs evils

William Travers Jerome, the man who
has kept Thaw Incarcerated since the
murder of Stanford White, said : "Oh.
well, It may be two or three days before
I have Thaw back In New York."
Magistrate James T. Carr says that if
Thaw la brought before him to-morrow

him to Jail at Concord or Incaster. he
doesn't know which. It I doubtful, how
ever. If Thsw will be taken before Mag

Moses II. Grossman of New York, who
Is now Thaw's chief of counsel, had a
telephone message from Wlllaril II. Olm
sted this afternoon.
"Olmsted ensures me." said Mr. Gross
man, "that Gov. Felker has promised
not to Issue an executive warrant for the
extradition of Thaw without first grant
ing a hearing."
Henorta are so contradictory as to
what Gov. Felker Is going to do that
It Is Impossible to guess whut will happen
to Thaw. While Grossman i convinced
that Gov. Felker will grant a hearing
before a warrant for Thaw extradition
Is Issued, Jerome le convinced that he
will not.
"Sheriff Hornbeck Of Dutcheaacounty."
Id Jerome to-night, "f on his way to
Concord to see Gov. Felker. We have
been assured by the Governor that he
haa already studied the case and is prr
psred to Issue the necessary warrant for
Thaw's removal to New York without de

back In Matteawan in two or three days "
Oatllaes Thai Campaign.
Thaw's lawyers have a plan of cam
paign mapped out by which they hope
to keep their client away from New lork
for six months and possibly a year. In
fart they won't admit that there is any
chance that he will be sent back to Mat
teawan at all. Mr. Grossman outlined
the various possibilities of the case In
this way to-night:
"We are told that Gov. Felker will
grant a hearing to us before he sign the
executive warrant for Thaw extradition.
That hearing will be held at Concord on
Monday. Tuesday or Wednesday. We
hope, of course, thst Gov. Felker after the
hearing will deride that Thaw should he
given his liberty in this State. Should he
not so decide, however, we have been
assured by him that before he issues the
executive warrant he will give us time to
ue out a writ of habeas corpus and thus
throw the matter into the courts of New
Hampahlre.
"If the first court of this State does
not sustain our writ we shall appeal it
to the Supreme Court, and thus keep
Thaw out of Matteawan for at least six
month. If the Supreme Court of New
Hampshire fall us we shall lie able to
force the matter before the Federal court
and keep Thaw In our hands for a year."
"We Intend to how." continued Gross
man, "that the purpoe of New York's
lawyers are ulterior and unfair."
Mr. Groman said that he had tinm'i

honored requisition papers when Issued In

Thaw. "1 Intend to fight this matter out

the Court of Klng'e Bench at Montreal Is
going to make an International question
of the Immigration department's action In
summarily deporting Thaw by demanding
that the Stat Department at Washington
return Thaw to Canada for a hearing of
his case. He added that the Court of
King's Bench Is going to call K. lllake

acted aa chairman of the board of Inquiry
that derided to deport Thaw, before It for
contempt of court.
Jerome Warns Oraesssaa.
Jerome met Grossman outside the
Monadnock House, where Thaw Is held a
prisoner, and Informed him In friendly
terms that If any attempt were made Ao
rescue Thaw from the hands of High
Sheriff Drew he, Jerome, would resort to
strong arm methods without the least
heeltstlon Q roes man laughed at the sug
gestion that he would do such a thing.
Desplts all this Thaw's lawyers asked
Sheriff Drew to-day to permit Thaw to
take an automobile ride to Dlxvllle Notch,
a point of renowned scenic beauty, live
miles from town. Sheriff Drew submitted
the request to Jerome and then refused
on Jerome's advice.

Lawyers Scout Fears That Lp
pitimat Claims Will
Not Be Paid.
MANY TO BE CONTESTED
Committee of His Estate Say It
Will Amount to More
Than 82,500,000.
The I'nlon Bunk of Brooklyn through
ltn counsel. John B. White, renewed It
application to .luntlce Donnelly In the Su
preme Court ytstsrday morning for an
Order for the payment of a not, for $11,500
alleged to have been made by Congress
man Timothy I). Sullivan. The hank
made a similar motion In July In connec
tion with the name note and JUBtlOS Don
nelly denied the application. The counsel
for the hank told the court yesterday that
he hnd found additional legul precedent!
fur the hank' application, which he sub
mitted, and Justice Donnelly took It under
advisement.
Oliver H. loldmlth, representing former
Corporation Counsel William B Klllnon.
counsel for the committee of Big Tim's
estate, opposed the resrgument and In
sisted that there had been plenty of time
for the oank to apply to the court for
permission to sue the estate, which 1 the
course which other claimants against the
estate have followed. The bank' attorney
snld that It was feared that the claim
would be outlawed before the mailer was
settled In the court If the longer course
was taken.
The note In question I mad out to
Thomas I.. Reynold, who turned It over
to the Brooklyn bank.
Mr. Uoldimlth laid after the brief argu
ment that the total claim which have
been made against the estate ate In excess
of 1200,000. Many of theae, however, will
lie contested by the committee. The lawyer
did not care to un-use any of the claimants
of putting In spurious claims, but there
are several mt these claims about which,
he said, there appears to the committee's
lawyers to be grave question.
Some of the creditor have expressed
themselves as fearful lest there will not be
enough to go around. Among these there
ha In en some talk of asking that the
estate be put Into bankruptcy, so that all
legitimate claims will have an equal show.
That there Is any ground for such fears I
routed by Mr. Billion and Mr. Qoldsmlth.
The former said yesterday that he believed
the estate would bs many times the
amount of the clajms against It.
Mr. (Joldamlth said that from what In
formation the committee haa It appeared
that the total estate would be at least
12,500,000 and might go higher. Against
this claims aggregating between M00,
000 and $300,000 have been brought to
the attention of the committee.
Reports that Mr. Hulllvan had been
found In a sanitarium at Brewster or
anywhere else were denied by Mr. Bill
ton yesterday.
The Congressman disappeared on Au
gust II. Mr. Billion la of the opinion
that he chafed under the restraint nf
nurses until he decided to have a change
and has gone somewhere where he will
have mors freedom. ,
FABRICS continue the tame; basket weaves perhapi
more in evidence; rough blue cheviots and diagonal de
signs will lead the fashion.
COLORS run to grays, brown, and mixtures of green,
gray, brown and blue.
PATTERNS more nearly approximating custom-made
than ever before; stripe will be worn: our stock show
them in all pattern, thicknettet, tones and coloring.
