Ex-banker j. d. Fish, who came 10

left bis luxurious quarters at the Murray

see Gen. Grants tomb MIR. Fish said
he would like it, and so the horses were
headed in that direction. The cool breezes
from the ice bound Hudson were soon
tingling the old man's ear tips and red
dening bis wrinkled cheeks. As the car
rage drew near the tomb Fish asked the
driver TO 20 slow. He looked intently at
the tomb and the sentiDels silently guard
ing il, but said nothing until he had
passed il. Then, with a backward motion
of the head, he said:
''1here lies man who was another of
Ferdinand Wards victims"
The carriage stopped in front Of the
Clermont house, o. erlooking the old s.. l.
dier's grave. and Fish and his watcher
got out. They sat down to a substantial
dinner, and, between the punctuating
pops OF champagne corks the old man
talked about Wards villainy. They drank
several bottles. They returned to the
Murray Hill hotel at 7 O'Clock.
Mr.. Fish Is expected to be in the United
States Circuit Court to-day as a witness
IN the case of Receiver johnson OF the
