New YORK, November l6.--Henry
Nreeland. alias Henry Burke, and Henry
Whalen, were arraigned to-day in the
police court on some charge not made
public. Judge Morgan said to reporters:
Il have received important and valuable
information enough to justify me in
holding them, but beyond this can not
say anything more, as it would not be
doing justice to the pelice; and, more
over, / could not conscientiously doit.'
Counsel for the prisoners said he could
not tell whether they were charged with
the robbery of Slewart's grave or the
Manhattan Savings Bank, but the latter
was the general impression.
Superintendent OF Police Walling
said to reporter to-day: 81 don't know
any thing Of any arrests whatever hav-
ing been made in this Stewart case. Ii
there is any arrest, | assure You on my
honor | know nothing of it. The men
who get PIP tn sensational stories know
absolutely nothing about the case"
Captain Byrnes, OF the police station
where the men are confined, refused to
say whether they were arrested for
stealing Stewards body, but said, how
ever, that there. were no prisoners in
the station house for bank Obj cry. In
spector Dilks, at the Police Central
Office, stated that he could not say
whether any thing would grow out OF
it, but there might.
Two women came to the station house
with bundles for the prisoners and then
left. The women were shadOwed by
police officers at every step, and it was
evident the most rigorous restraint had
been placed upon them to prevent any
thing OF what they knew being given re-
porters. However, it was learned Mrs.
Wright lived on the top floor of No. 402
East Twelfth street, with whom person
named Baker had been living for some
time past. Her husband is in Jail for
passing counterfeit money. Baker was
not ut home, but Mrs. Wright herself
was encountered, who proved to be one OF
the women who visited the station house.
ltnOw turnedOut, by her admission, that
Baker was Whalen, one of the prison.
ers, and that Burke, the other prisoner,
was her brother. Whalen was arrested
on Thursday for completely in the stew
art robbery case. Burke was taken in
on Tuesday night at his mothers house,
100 East Fourth street. To-day the po-
lice ransacked Mrs. Wright rooms, and
seized all her papers and some belong.
ing to her brother, Burke. She said
both men were spectators, and
"crooked" Mr.. Wright claimed to-
night that Burke, at least, is innocent,
and that she can clear him of all suspic-
ion when she gives an account Of his
movements from before the Manhattan
Bank burglary up TIL after the Stewart
sacrilege.
New YORK, November 1.-the re-
ports in the morning papers that Stew
arts body has been found, are pro-
nounced untrue at Police headquarters.
The stories about the body being found
in HOboken or in Wehawken cemetery,
Awere laughed at by police officials as
ridiculous. superintendent Walling
characterized them as "scandalouslS
false" No new arrests were
made in any OF the precincts up to mid
night for completely in the grave rob-
berry. The prisoners, Whalen or Nree-
land and Burke, will be examined in
Court tomorrow. They are arrested rs
suspicioua characters, capable OF doing
the deed. The police and detectives are
all busily engaged in hunting up clues,
but the clues and rumors of the body
being recovered appear to be getting
exhausted
