NEW YORK, April 6.
The Tribune prints IN interview
with Sheriff Conner regarding the
story of Tweed's escape. Conner spent
$4,000 trying to recapture Tweed.
Every inch of the ground in New

BROOKLYN, April 6.
The tragedy in the office of Messrs.
Jewetts yesterday was the absorb
ing topic of conversation. The thou
sands of people who cross every morn
ing from Brooklyn to New York by the
Fulton ferry all turn this morning in
10 Burling slip and linger for a while
at Front street, looking up to the
second floor at the window of the
office in which the calamity occurred.
The building is closed, and the police,
so nyedful yesterday to keep the
crowd back. have been Withdrawn.
All the members OF the firm bear the
highest reputation except Orville D.,
who was OF a surley disposition. His
original interest vas Sl50,000. He
never got along we'll with his uncles.
He came and went as he pleased, and
refused to be tied down to any routin e
whatever. Notwithstanding his ex-
treme righteousness, he did not hes
itate to spend money freely for his own
enjoy ment. He kept a yacht, fast
horses and dogs, and was a generous
liver. These characteristics brought
him into collision with his partners,
and he received their remonstrances
in an uDfriendly spirit. The breach
continually widened until foul years
ago,o on the occasion of the annual SET
tlenent, there was al open rupture,
caused by the demand that OrVille
should change his course or leave the
firm. This was settled. however, at
the time, but without producing any
alteration in the relations of the MEM
bers of the concern. Orville grew
more insolent, and four weeks ago he
was informed that his connection
must end without further delay. He
made a stubborn resistance, but n
day last week he said to Dean if he
wished to buy out his interest he
might for $1,000 but he would re-
quire that the papers should be drawn
up by his " lawyers. Dean said all
he wanted was a receipt for the
money which he would pay over.
This was the understanding arrived at.
Orville went to his attorney and EN-
ployed him to draw up the papers.
Sutherland said yesterday hat they
were all ready and were to be signed.
The money consideration, all in cash,
had been provided, and a happy end
ing to the long troubles was promising.
