The Great Poker Suit.
NEwBURG, Sept. 27.-Yesterday District
Attorney Anthony moved and obtained from
Judge Brown an order to nole prosequi the
indictments against DIR. Monteville NJ Hedges
and William M. Scott who were charged with
swindling Francis P Weed in that notable
poker game. The nolle prosequi is the result
of an agreement whereby settlement has
been reached. 1t is said that the overtures for
a compromise came from Weed, who has agreed
to accept $20,0o0 in full settlement of the
matter.
This amount comes from Hedges, Scott and
the friends of the latter. By the articles of
agreement lot only the criminal proceedings
against Hedges aud Scott are to be disconttn-
ued, but the civil suits against them are TO be
also stopped. Weeds first cash payment of
his poker debt was 900, instead of $20, ,000
as has been stated. Then he paid $4,000 on
the first note, and 1874 900 on the second, maxi
loser to the amount of about $4,000, having
recovered already $500, which was paid
cashier Bostwick for collecting the notes.
