more about the circumstance until the afternoon
of the same day when his lower gum began to
swell and became painful. He went to see his ply
stefan in the evening. Dr. Krouter told him ha
thought the pain caused by decayed tooths
and prescribed remedy for toothache. Tha

WANTS A NEW TRIAL.

Charles G. Fisher, ex-United States Assistant
District Attorney for the District OF Columbia
Lieutenant the United States artillery, and of
ex-Judge Fisher yesterday called to the bar OF
the Court of General Sessions. He recently
vlced of uttering forged check for $50 20 Super
intendent Adams, of the Metropolitan Hotel in pay
ment Of board bill. amounting to q little $l2.
and receiving the change. His counsel. Mr. T. L.
Rico. moved for trial, on the ground that the
verdict against the weight of evidence the prose-
cution having failed to prove that Fisher knew the
check was forged. He further commended that Mr..
Adams was not influenced in cashing tho check by
the belief that it genuine but by the fact that
the prisoner had been identified by Mr.. Florence,
OF the hotel attaches, as Mr. Fisher, OF Washing
ton. In reply Assistant District Attorney Bell sub
mitted that the prisoners knowledge of the worth
lessness OF the check might readily be inferred from
the surrou uding circumstances. The jury had
evidence before them to contradict the assertions Of
the prosecution. except the prisoners own story
to how he had come into possession of the check
The jury did not believe the story and found the
prisoner guilty. Under all the circumstances, he
contended the jury had sufficient evidence warrant
the conviction. Judge Gildersleeve reserved his
decision until this morning.

RAPID TRANSIT.

WHY THE FIFrY-NINTH STREET ROUTE is TO BE
ABANDoNED-HR. GaRRIsoNs EXPLANATION.
Mr.. William II. Garrison president of the Metro
politan Elevated Railroad, asked yesterday by
HERALD reporter for explanation of his letter of
August to the Rapid Transit Commissioners COM
monty known the westchester Rapid Transit
Commission. The letter published in yester-
days HERALD. having been received from secre-
tary of the Board of Commissioners. In it MIR. Gar
rison, on behalf of his company. declines the
dtions. and requirements imposed by the Commits
sioners in respect to the FIFTY ninth route
and abandons all claim the said route under the
action of the Board. The route mentioned is the
proposed connection between the Metropolitan and
the New York Elevated roads from the OF
Flty-eghth and Sixth to the corner Of
Flfty-ninth street and Ninth avenue through Sixth
avenue ana Fitty-ninth street.
As it was known that the aforementioned had been
asked for by the Metropolitan Company. and it
was not known that the conditions imposed were
unfavorablc this refusal on the part OF the company
to accept of the privilege granted was unexpected,
ard was the occasion OF no little surprise, and it
was on this account that explanation asked.
'.When we asked for the route" said AR Garrison,
1--WE had twofold object in view In the first place
it would give us a direct route with one terminus
instead OF two which We now have. usins our
Fifty-thrd street branch. And IN the second place
we would get rid of tho complicatlons--or rather
Fiftythird street branch: But when the report OF
the commission was made. il which they granted us
we iof ttie Ieportl was re-
ceived with such disfavor by the public. ana excited
much feeling and prejudice. that we decided not
to accept any privilege under it,.
'Then you have not altered your views to the
desirability of the Fifty-ninth street route?"
''By no means"
''And you would have accepted it but for the pub
lie sentiment about the report?
'Most certainly.
'Woud 1t not entail considerable loss on the
Eifty-thrd street structure?'
'sCertanly. That would be clean waste, or rather
it would be only good for scrap iron. We couldn't
it again. But We are in receipt OF many COM
paints from the property owners IN Fifty third
street that we would be willing to put UP with that
loss"
