York and Takes Firmer Grip on Them
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-At half past one
O'Clock yesterday afternoon Inspector
-Byrnes received a bulky package from
the district-aitorney's office. 1t con.
tained an order from the district-attor-
ney, accompanied by bench warrants for
the arrest of all the 'tboodle'' aldermen
of the board of 1884, save for Henry L.
Sayles, whose flight to Canada has in
-spired the crusade, the prosecution of
which was thus placed in the hands OF
Inspector Byrnes. Results were first felt
down at the district-attorney's at three
O'Clock. Inspector Byrnes had at once
put all his available men at work to
serve the warrants. Alderman Patrick
Farley had been the first
TO feel the indrawing force
of the big drag-net, which had been
again spread out over the entire city to
envelop the handful of men. At the
hour named he was brought in by de-
tectives and at once taken TO the district
attorneys Office and from there into
court, accompanied by his attorney and
by counsel for the other boodlers, who D
had got wind of the raid. The district
attorney, addressing the court, recited
the facts of Sayles' flight, detailed the
facts of the cases having been put on the
calendar and stated that he had now
caused bench warrants to be issued for
she rearrest of net only the four whose
trial day had been fixed, but of all othels
under Indictment The district attorney
asserted that since the flight of Sayies
he had no longer any faith in any
body. He doubted whether any amount
of bail would keep the others within the
courts jurisdiction, but in case the
Court should decline to hold the men
without bail, he would ask that it be in
creased in each case from S25, 900, the
present amount, to $4,000.
Counsel for the "boodlers' pleaded
against an increase i'm the amount of bail,
but the court decided to make it $4,000
in each case. Alderman Kirk, who had
come in voluntarily in the meantime, at
once gave bail and went away. Then,
one after the other, the detectives brought
i'm Aldermen Miller, CIeary, McCabc and
McQuade. OF these Clearv, McCabe and
McQuade secured the additional bail
during the early evening. Farley and
Miller were unable to furnish the added
security and were locked up in the Tombs
for the night.
Later on Aldermen Shields, O'Neill and
Reilly were arrested and locked up.
Pearson was seen i'm Brooklyn last night
by reporter, TO whom he said he would
be at the district-attorney's Office this
morning to give the extra bail. Thus
nine have been rearreSted and dis posed
of as stated and there yet remains 10
be arrested or reported, Duffey,
Fink, FulIgraff and Wendell.
The case of the absent Sayles

day. He will not respond, the bail will
be declared forfeited and immediate steps
will be taken to secure and enter judg-
ment against his bondsman, Sol Styles,
which will be placed in the sheriff's
hands Should it be returned unsatisfied
