Attachment Suits.

Attachment Suits. Store and Quiet Legal Proceed tn@-A Dramatic Finale-Mfxed UP Litigation.
 Writs of attachment having been placed in the hands of Sheriff Byxbee to serve two suits, each for $30, 1000, against Edward Nal ley. the sheriff Saturday, armed with the pa- pers, appeared at the store of MT. Malley at o'clock in the afternoon. MT. Edward MaIley was on the premises Being apprized of the contents of the papers, he pronounced it with emphasis @ blackmailing scheme. One of the suits was on claim of $50, ,OOO for notes from the Malley Bros, formerly Of Ansonia; the other for $50, ,OO0 from Wm Malley for claimed false imprisonment on a civil suit few years ago.
 MT. Edward MalIey at once signlfied hls willingness to provide bonds, and named seV- eral of our noted citizens. The sheriff could not accept receipt man, and was obliged to attach the store. Nothing was done to ln- terrupt business or to attach the money re- ceipts, the goods being ample security. Two keepers, Mir. Joseph R. Warren, janitor of the County Court house, and John Scoville were placed. in charge and remained all night, at meal time one being absent at 8 time. MT. Edward Malley posted off at once to his counsel, Judge Bronson, and turned the tables quite dramatically, bringing through Judge Bronson charges for false and malicious attachment against the parties who had attached him, and having two of them arrested and placed in jail. Deputy Sheriff Catlin served the writs, which were for the arrest of Edward J. Carroll and Michael Malley, Edward J. Malley and William Malley of Ansonia. The persons found by the deputy sheriff were Carroll and Michael Malley Carroll is reported as saying that ''he had the dead wood on Edward Malley this time and he must settle" just as Deputy Sheriff Catlin him. They were taken for false and mali eious attachment and brought before Justice of the Peace James I. Hayes. No bonds were found for him and his honor committed them to jail on mittimuses They reached the county institution about half-past ten o'clock and were locked up. All this hap pened so quietly that few persons knew of it.
 
 Edward J. Malley arrested. William was not found and it is supposed that he got wind of what had happened and drove out home. Edward J. was met at the Derby railroad de- pot by reporter and disclaimed all knowl edge of an attachment of MT. Malley's store. It had been expected that E.. Malley would settle the claim William had for damages last week and also that in some way suit pend ing in the Superior Court in Hartford county would be adjusted, but nothing had been done in either case.
 Just after the attachment Carroll went to the judge's office, thinking that some way he might secure some settlement of his claim. He talked awhile and finally he agreed to sign the following agreement:
 Edward J. Carroll has power of attorEe ey from Will liam Malley, Michael Malley and Edward J. Malley. ley brothers he also acting for himself purposes to settle all claims and demands of such parties of what New Haven up to date for the sum of two thousand i've hundred dollars 250O to be paid to him, that mand ef any kind description against said Edward Malley whatsoever; and upo payment of said sum hereby agree to release in full all claims of said ties and myself.
 Dated New Haven, September 24, 18s1
 N'sA' Attorney for said parties , and myself Keefe.
 This agreement signed counsel suggested to Carroll that he could not perhaps get over $1 .OOO. Carroll agreed to take $1 1000, it is said. Edward Mallsy holds receipts in full for all claims of William Malley, under date of September 9, and also receipt from E. J. Carroll in full for himself and wife.
 Michael and E. J. Malley, it appears, are nephews of Edward, and were in the dry goods business in Ansonia and were closed hu Edward Ma11au fori indnhkodnoSs The Malley Bros. obtained William c. Case for counsel. William Malley, brother of Ed ward WAS involved in the same transaction, and so was E. J. Carroll, 8 son-in-law of Will liam. He belongs in Windsor Locks. As an outcome of this attachment William Malley went to jail as 8 civil debtor, his body being attached on an allegation of fraud at the suit of Ed ward.
 William Malley was released from the civil debtors room at the county jail a year and g half ago, but has not been settled with. The result was one of the attachments calling fol $50, 900 for malicious imprisonment. Carroll sued Edward for $50, GOO for money | loaned, etc. This suit was recently on tria | at Hartford before Judge Calhoun sitting aa | committee. After a three days hearing ii | was settled. One of the alleged conditions | was that the suit against William Malley was | to be withdrawn. William had sued Edward | for $26, 900 or more for notes claimed to be O44pdlOs 1A0 6CbO4Su40Ab O1 LA0 OdEEOA SO1i was to have been settlement of the others. l It is alleged that the conditions were not car | ried out.
 The Michael Malley referred to above If | not MT. Michael W. Malley, so long and prominently connected with MT. Malley's in terests at his emporium.
 What Sheriff Byxbee Says about tho Case representative of the COURIER visited Sheriff Byxbee in Meriden yesterday. The sheriff was found at his pleasant residence on Colony street, and on being informed oi | the object of the reporters visit expressed his willingness to give the readers of the CoURIHR all the information in his possession regarding the affair.
 In reply to interrogatories Sheriff Byxbee| made the following statement:
 On Friday last E. J. Carroll came to my of flee and said that he had two writs that he wanted served on Edward Malley, and asked me if could serve them. told him yes, ii they were in proper form. I asked Mr. Car roll who his attorneys were and he told me that they were Judge H. B. Munson, of Sey- mour. and William O. Case, of New Haven. I found, however, on inquiry, that Judge Munson was not in the case at all On in quiry found that Carroll had no power of attorney ,and told him he would have to secure authority, and, as understand from the pa- pers in my possession, he went to Ansonia and obtained the authority from the Malleys to act for them. On Saturday afternoon about o'clock Carroll again called at my of fee and handed me two writs to serve on Mir. Edward Malley. He said they had been drawn by his attorney, MT. Case. I looked at them and found that they were drawn in proper form and were signed by Lucius P Deming. commissioner of the Superior Court. I said to Carroll, 'tMr. Malley will no doubt offer a receiptsman. but I do not want to take 8 receipt for $6o, 1000 as am not able to do so." I then said to him, q will take the writs and go and see Mir. Mall ley" Iwent to the store, and on inquiring for Mr. Malley he was sent for and invited me to his private office. made my business known and he then showed me receipts in full from William Ma!ley, dated September 18th last. then told him had another writ in suit brought by the Malley brothers, and he replied that it was fraud and there was nothing to it, but said he was willing to furnish responsible receiptsman. I told
