nssS-Hls Dsmeanor In Court,
His Attempt at BFaVadO,
NEw YoRK, Dec. 2O.-Ths last act In the
MCQuade drama seemed to lave even
more interest for the public than the
scenes OF the trial, This morning Cham
bers street and the approaches TO the
brown stone Court House Of General SEES
sIons were throngsd with hundreds oi
people. Admission was free to all and
the large Court room in Part two waa
densely packed, The other boodlera
were conspicuous by their absence, Nc
Quade was escorted into the Court room
by under Sheriff seaton and fst CLERK
Martin, There was not the "Hale fellow
well met" appearance about AcQusde
that characterised his appearance on Fri
day, He looked old, and very quietly
waited for the hour OF his sentence.
At II o'clock this morning Recorder
smythe entered the court room and took
his place on the bench, With the mem
ory ot the Jaahne case the audience had
the idea that there was NO hope for Nc
Quade and that he would at once receive
his sentence. The District Attorney with
his assistants and the counsel for McQuade
came In together, Alter short Conyersa-
ton with Mr.. NeWCombe the Recorder
raped on his desk for order
Mr.. Newcombe asked that the proceed.
ings Of Friday be read. The request was
granted.
A NOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL,
Alter the reading, General Tracy said !:
Sentence having been moved, We move
an arrest Of the sentence, because the In
dictment was on insufficient ground and
that the evidence was not sufficient to con-
meet defendant with the crime charged; (;
because Of the mlsscharge by the Court to
the jury; because certain Jurors were
illegally excluded from the box; be-
cause the trial was suspend
ed for the bringing oil Nesbitt
and Verkermann, who signed certain aal.
dRvits before aud In the presence Of the
Jury as set down in the afli1avits Of the
defense served on the DlstriCt Attorney
Friday. We alBo move that the verdict
be set aside on the grounds act down in
the affidavit because the Court admitted
improper evidence against the defendant
in his favor General Tracy also moved
that the officers who had charge OF the
jury during the trial be called and sworn,
This was on the strength Of statements
made TO them by Mr.. O'Bhen, to the
effect that on December 10 the iurymen
we're taken to the Astor House to lunch
by an unusual route, past the Office Of the
New York World, In front Of which was
displayed bulletin reading, "Haa trail.
tor Crept In. Juror Rosenberg charged
with being friend OF the boodlers"
Mr.. MARITIME replied reading the aflida.
Wit Of juror Rosenberg, denying that he
had been influenced in any way for or
against defendant by outside influence; !;
but that he acted on the evidence alone.
The affidavit also states that be was not
aware that there had been auy charges
against him until alter the Jury had
brought In its verdict. He saw Nesbltt aud
Vickermann In court, but didn't even
suspect that the papers they signed had
any reference to him, and there was no
talk regarding 1t among the iurymen.
The motion for 9 new trial was denied,
General Tracy taking an exception,
MCQuade was ordered to stand up and
did so, with his thumbs in his pants
pockets.
"The defendant" remarked Gen. Tracy,
"has nothing 10 say why sentence should
not be pronounced against him. We rely
on his former good character and the
esteem In which he Ia Btill held by his
neighbors and acquaintanCes, oi whom
many are here now to ask for the lepiency
Of the court" ,.
THE ooURT's sRNrRNoE.
The recorder said in substance. "Ar.
thur ]. McQuade, you have been fairly
and Justly convicted OF bribory, You
were elected to perform public duty and
public trust. Instead Of doing 80 you
violated that trust. Your character as q
business man, citizen, father and hus.
band is good. have sympathy for your
wife and family. You should have con.
Bidered them before you did wrong.
| You did not add to the crime OF which
you have been convicted OF as Jaime did,
by taking the stand and committing per-
Jury. l have reason to believe that you
received as much money as Duffy did,
$4,000. That money Is yours. II is not
the property OF your family. II II 10 left
with them Il will work the inevitable re-
suit Of ill.gotten gain. l would advise
you TO give 1t up and pay back 10 the city
the money which you received, and !
have no doubt II would work TO your
benefit.
The sentence oi the Court Is that you be
confined in the State prison at hard labor
for term Of seven years, and that you
pay o fne Of 5000.
During the sentence MCQaade stood up,
