CHnAGo, Nov. 1.-The 2ijdni'e prints
| the following this morning; \ recent
! issue If the PiD8e;- Press contained an
account of the ST itia Of Joseph knzis:ls,
a Bohemian. There are some incidents
connected with lis life that will be Of
interest in shown how far political III
| fiucnc. of the b;ts"r sort is carried here,
to laraivze the Efforts Of the police and
defeat Justice. b. saving from the pen
! itentiarv the WORTHLESS; bodies OF a gang
of criminals who ayste Inatically and con-
tinually prey upon the unfortunate pub
lie. Last May young kozist'!; arrived in
Chicg1o with about s.. (0O in cash. One
night he fell into the clutches Of gang
Of thieves. whose OPERA ions and political
backing hy certain disreputable alder
men have made them Il terror to the pllb-
| lie and bana to the police force. He
was taken in q closed carriage, after hay
IN been made drunk, and there robbed
by two of the Gang. He was finally drop
ped at Il house Of lltame, where he dis
covered his los. Officers, after a little
| Investigation. satisfied themselves that
Joe Ccnley, Il nephew Of Anthony Con-
lev, who was killed last simmer, and one
iIicky Fay were the principals in the
robbery, and they were arrested. When
the case came up before the grant jury
the officers learned that slrh influence
had bren brought to bear upon the jury
Is would insure the discharge Of the
PRISONERS. and they had the case thrown
out In the meantime. before another
grand ;rrv -at, C0nley' and i'ay's friends
got hold Of the prosecuting. witness. and
cave linn ?lN0, sent him to It. Paul,
where Pat ConIay, a relative of the Chi
ra.so end OF the family, could look after
him. Il is ALLEGED that Conity used his
influence. which is said fl be considera-
l,lt. III Il. i'aul, 70 have kozisck sent to
the house Of correction on a trivial charge
and kept him there fer long time. 1t
is also alleged that the, states attorney
WAS informed of the above facts, and that
he said the state could not send for the
witness ard that nothing could be done
here without him. kozsck was seen by
Chica..o officer, but said he would not
come back unless a portion Of the stolen
money should be returned to him, and
so the case rested. BrUodin@ over the
loss Of his money and the disgrace of his
Incarceration at st. Paul drove the unior-
tHnate Young man to the verge OF lnsanl-
tx. and finally to death. OF course this
settles the case so far as the prosecution
