dent Of the Willamsburgh First National Bank
G. {. woolwortn, and !. G. Baker, President Of
the Mechanics Fire Insurance Company, to col
loct money to pay extra counsel, and TO supple
ment in other ways Mr. Parsons's efforts. The
suits will doubtless be instituted In New York,
although overy effort Is TO be made by the Ring
10 keep them In Brooklyn. II Is urged by the
prosecutors that as this Is a suit Of the people,
and as tho people live In every. county OF the
81 tie, there can be no valid objection to the
proceedings In the New York courts. "a the law
provides that suit may lie instituted In either
the county IN which the plaintin lives or that OF
the defendant.

portant testimony from two OF the Ring subor-
