False imprisonment.


C. Allen, a prominent Wall street
broker, appeared before Judge McCune
of the Superior Court, and applied for
an order of arrest against James Fisk,
Jr., and Jay Gould. The demand was
based on long complaint charging |
Fisk aud Gould with procuring false
Imprisonment OF the plaintiff. The |
facts involve Fisk, Gould, and indirectly |
Judge Dowling, who granted the order |
on which Allen was imprisoned. The
suit grows out of the Black-Frlday ope- |
rations of Fisk, Gould and others. Mr..
Allen claims $4,000 damages. Orders
of arrest will probably be issued by
Judge McCune this morning.
Attorney General Harlow
Proposes entering upon his official du-
ties on Monday. He intends speedily |
TO commence legal proceedings against
the Erie management, but, although |
pressed, declines at present to disclose
his professed line of action. He COM
pliments the grand jury highly, and
SAYS that while nothing has been discov-
cred tracing any Of the city frauds to
Mayor Hall, the Mayor will probably |
nevertheless be indicted 1t is under
stood that OConnor, although averse
10 proceedings being taken against the
Mayor, will conduct the prosecutions as
heretofore. 1t is again considered Sc
riously doubtful whether Connolly will
be able to secure sufficient bail to OBJ
tain release before New Year.
