NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-Chas. O'Conor
stated yesterday to reporter that he sup
posed there would be no difficulty in con-
victing Connolly.
Samuel j. Tilden, upon whose affidavits
Tweed was proceeded against, states that he
is ignorant whether Connolly had any ac-
counts with the Tenth National or Nassau
Banks, in which Tweed had largely depos-
tied, and that he does not know whether
any of the forty-two per cent ofstolen funds.
the division of which is unaccounted for,
has been traced to Connolly. He also saws
there was no bargain with the Committee
ofSeventy to spare Connolly in considera-
ton OF his appointment of Green.
The difficulty which Connolly experien-
ces in finding bail is due to the Sheriff's re-
jecting many of the persons who have been
offered. His friends say the Sheriff has
been unnecessarily severe in refusing men
who were fully able to respond as sureties.
MessrS. Hayemeyer and Tilden say that
the committee of fseventy are not at all pleased
with ConnOly's arrest. 1t is also stated
that the arrest was made with the hope
that Connolly would divulge what he knew
of the frauds.
LATER.-It is understood that if Con-
nolly's bail is not completed by Wednesday
night, he will spend thanksgiving day in
jail.
