Sharkcy Still at Large.

NEW \ ORR, Nov. %.
Interest in Sharkey was revived at the
Central office by statement that he had
been traced from the Brandreih House,
where he took a carriage on the day of his
escape TO the west side of the city, and
that he is believed to be still in New York.
1t is also said that the mistake made by the
Commissioners Of Charities and Correction
in offering a reward for the apprehension
of the fugitive is already apparent, as the
detectives, the ward officers, and'thc police
in general are behaving as they did after
the reward OF $4l 900 was offered for the
arrest and conviction of the man who muir
dercd Benjamin Nathan
Mn who knew Sharkey and hisj habits
and who would he likely to he able to fer
rtt him out, say that until Chief Matsell
stops the riyllres and chickering's now go
ing on between rival officers they cannot
consistently take the case in hand, as they
would be watched at every step and
thwartcd at the first opportunity. a po-
lice captain has pledged his professional
reputation" to arrest Sharliey, provided all
that are now looking for him ars called in
and instructed not to move further or in
tcrferc in the premises.
The Commissioners of Charities and Cor
rectiOn continued their investigation yester-
day into the circumstances connected with
Sharkcy's escape. But little new was elicit
ed, the proceedings consistingin merely re-
examining the evidence of the witnesses
previously examined, with aview to obtain
the fullest particulars OF the manner with
which the escape was made. The sole APP
parent result of the examination was the
passing of resolution requiring the sig
nature of either of the Commissioners to
the permit for the admttance of any visi-
that the Commissioners intended to haul
Warden johnson over the Goals rs response
BILE for Shariey being missing commissioner
Laimbeer told the writer, Monday, that in
all the evidence that had been obtained
there was not the slightest portion that in
any way implicated the warden, or showed
him to be at all personally derelict in his
duty. He was, of course, responsible for
the neglect of his subordnatcs, but beyond
that general sense he could not be consid-
cred in fault.
Maggie Jordan, Sharkey's mistress, and
Phillips, his keeper, who are supposed to
be implicated in the escape, Were brought
before Judge DAVIS, Monday, on habeas
corpus, but MS their case has resulted in An
Indictment which is not yet filed, the hear
ing was adjourned until the filing of the
same. Mr. Beach, their counsel, announced
that the chief object of the application
was to reduce their bail. A motion to eff
feet that object was made III the general
session, Tuesday. Miss Jordan's sister de
clares that Maggie had nothing to Go with
the affair, but, induced by the craving for
notorety, which proved such a powerful
motive in the case of Lucette Meyers,
wished her silence to give consent to the al
LEGATIONS connecting her with the case.
Maggie's friends generally claim that Shar-
key made his escape at midnight, nearly -
hours before his supposed walk out in
broad daylight Sharkeys brother John,
who acted as Maggie's escort, on being
questioned, naturally denied all knowledge
of the whereabouts of the fugitive. lleis,
of course, constantly ''shadowed,' and can
not very well communicate with his broth
er without leading to the latteI's detection.
