THE GRAND JURY TO BRING IN COUNTS AGAINST
TWEED, CONNOLLY, AND HALL-wHEN AR
RESTS MAY BE EXPECTED.
The Oyer and Terminer Grand Jury will
come into court to-day at lOs o'clock. and after pre-
senting number Of indictments, will ask ~ be dis
charged.
This formalty would not convey TO the people any
other information, especially OF indictments where the
arrest of those implicated had not been previously
effected
In such instances public mention is made in order
TO guard against possible escapes OF guilty persons Ex
isting circumstances will probably preclude any effort
for escape on the part of few individuals whose names
1t is expected will be presented by the Grand Jury to-day
Among the indictments found there are, it is under
stood a number against william NJ. Tweed. A. Oakley
Hail. ana Richard b. Connolly, jointly indicted for mis-
demeanors committed by them in the discharge OF their
official duties members Of the Board OF Audit, which
was created by Section Of the County Tax Levy Of
1870.
Under this creation it will be remembered that Mayor
Hall Controller Connolly and VIM. NJ. Tweed as Presi-
dent OF the Board of Supervisors held brief meeting
at which resolution passed directing the County
Auditor James Watson. collect ali claims against the
county which by that resolution required TO be
paid on the simple certihcation OF Mr. Tweed rs Pres
dent OF the Board OF Supervisors.
No other audit made and no other means were
adoped whereby the Board, such examined the ae-
counts and adjudged the amounts properly due upon
them. Warrants drawn and Issued for the pay
ment of the claims thus certified.
These warrants collected, and in most instances
were ndorsed and deposited by James H. Ingerso and
E. A. Woodward and included the fraudulent Claims OF
A. J. Garvcy Ingerso & Co., j. ii. Keyser. C. D. Bollar
4 Co.. and others.
The warrants numbering 1877 are those which are in
cuded in the several OF what has been known as
the big" or omnibus" indictment. upon which Mr
Tweed has lately been Iried, the Jury disagreeng.
In the present proceedings this indictment has been
divided into a number OF smaller ones, founded upon
each separate fraud and each comprised in SIX or eight
pages Of closely printed matter.
The warrants which Keyser and BOllar have alleged
were never paid to them, and on which their ndorse
ment are charged to have been forged are SAID also TO
form the grounds of new indictment for forgery against
Mr.. Tweed.
tits understood that no new evidence has been ad-
duced 10 secure any Of these indictments. The wit
nesses who testified before the Bedford Grand Jury
which presented the indictments which quashed and
the witnesses testimony procured the finding OF
the "big" indictment for misdemeanOr against Mr.
Tweed have been reexanned and the facts which war
ranted the previous indictments have been found sui
cieut in present instance, and the Grand Jury mas
for several days had this evidence under consideration
It is believed that the indictments have been very
carefully drawn and is claimed that there can be no
legal evasion had or deficient evidence expected tAa
will prevent conviction upon the charges as framed
The arrests in these Will probably be male 70
morrow and the execution of the warrants VIII no u
is said he intr1sted 10 the Sheriff but viii probably be
GIVEN 10 the police who will be expected to discharge
rhr,r utics m the matter the ordinary way OF deanG
with offenders, without regard to person Oh iaVof.
