JUDGE HILTos's SECOND
That Judge Hilton had something unusual in his
aching head yesterday morning was clearly visible
when he took his at his little desk in front of
window that looks on Chambers street. Great piles
Of letters and bills were placed before him. and he
took hold OF them with characteristic vitality. al
though his brow was flushed and his skin was hot
with fever. In reply question he said. II went
to Mrs. Stewards yesterday when left Headquarters
We talked it over. and then wrote the card which
showed TO the Commissioner this morning"
why do you make it $25 .000?'
eat first wrote $4,000; then made it $40 oO0 and
finally changed it to $685. 900. desirous Of
doing what would meet public approval; not too
little. not too much"
1.-The clause that makes the reward contingent on
the conviction Of the thieves does away with the
offensive suggestion Of compromise"
Exactly. We will cheerfully pay for the detection
and conviction of the thieves
isn't it bid for States evidence?"
II think so.'
If there are two men in II and one informs on his
pal could he claim the reward =
If he couldn't friend could manage it for him.
But really have nothing to say; you must ex-
cuse me from an interview"
Judge Hilton after his work in the store ended
for the day. went again to Police Headquarters where
he told of the attending Mr.. Mddleton's
look in the Rogues Gallery After further consulta-
ton he drove to Mrs. Stewards residence The house
well lighted in the evening. Many people called
though but few were admitted, and it reported
that Mrs. Stewart was calm and hopeful.
.'No TINE FOR BOYS TALK"
Mr.. william Libbey, who was Mr.. Stewards
partner and friend is tall and straight as q sap
ling. He has been fired with indignation from the
first report Of the outrage. and has expressed him.
self warmly to what should be done Yesterday
he sat in his Office. and in the of
ton he said This blow falls with peculiar force on
Mrs Stewart reward is offered this afternoon that
will convince the scoundrels that mean business.
would rather put up the shutters buckle my belt
put brace of pistols in 1t and go out to hunt and
follow the scoundrels than dollar paid in
promise. This is an age Of too much goody-goody.
We want no boys talk; it's time for it. Men
should assert themselves and protect their rights.
WHAT SEXTON
As SO much has been said about the sexton, Hammil,
to his discre 1t is but fair to report that the pastor
Rev. DR.. Rylance, gives him an excellent reputation
and places every confidence in him. Yesterday Mr..
Hamml said:-'.The fact is that Mr.. Stewart didn't
weigh 100 pounds when he died dressed him and
know all about what was done at the funeral. The
body now two years and over in the vault must be
pretty well spent believe it will be found don't
believe it possible to keep it above the ground. it
put but two feet under the ground it could be
kept. see difficulty in the way Of identifying 1t
il found dressed it and could remember the cloth
ing. The hair peculiar and could be recognized.
The teeth which had been filed. could be detected
by the dentist. There was but little blood in Mr..
Stewart when he died. and the body would very likely
be similar to = mummy by this time. have no idea
that the body was taken away month ago. It would
have been impossible for such thing to happen and
escape my observation. for look the vaults and
graves every day Of my lifo."
,e@g i, 4 SENSATION.
But it to later hour in the day pro-
vide verable sensation. which may yet be Of great
importance in discovering the sacrilegious thieves.
Some months ago the HHRALD published detailed
description Of recent discovery for the preservation
of human bodies. temporarily for funeral purposes

day after he had returned from Boston-which fact
enables him TO specify the date-a man called on him
and expressed desire to purchase quantity Of the
huid Alekton. When he saw the suggestion about
the possible removal Of the body the 7th Of Octo

Middleton asked 70 call At Headquarters, which he

In order that there might be no Misunderstanding
Of the facts Of the HERALD representative called
