President and Superintendent Of the staten
Island Ferry Company and the engineer
of the Westtleld are for manslaughter in
lin the third degree. The indictment
against Jack Matthews, United States In
sDectOr of Boilers is for manslaughter In
1.-The fourth degree. There is great specu,
llation already as TO whether q trial VIII
actually be had. The probability Of q
plea OF guilty being made by the accused
Is strongly talked OF, 1t is also feared, on

ends of Justice and allow the indicted to
escape without the full penalties OF their
crime. On this point q leading paper
editorially says; "Any indirect influence
which may be exerted in their favor will
be resented by the public as betrayal OF
It's most mOmentous trusts, and will ex.
cite such indignation that It will more than
outweigh any advantage which may be
gained on the side Of the criminals.
