are also arrested.
Intelligence of the arrest of the three
partners in the supposed guilt spread
rapidly and crowds began TO gather at
the district attorneys office by 10
o'c,ock. 1t had been The general i'm
preston they would be arrested soon
and it was rnmo-ed they had
been indicted. No Indictment has
been found against Sharp, nor
was there any new indictment
against Richmond and Foshay. 1t is
expected that indictments VII be made
against the three ex-aIdermen.
Charley" Waite was brought down
town from the house of detention after
the arrest of the alleged bribe-giVers in
the custods of his keeper and arrived
at the district attorneys Office at 1880
am. He hurried Waite away from
the gaze of the curious who
filed the corridors and took him
into the private Office. Shortly
afterwards, Bright counsel for
Sharp, arrived and held a consul
tation with District-Attorney Martin,
in which Police-Inspector Steers par
ticipated. 1t was learned that Sharp
and Richmond are to be kept at the
police headquarters until indications
could be drawn up, wheG they viii be
brought down to plead in court and
give bail should any be needed.
Judge CoWIng fixed the bail at $50
600 each in the cases of Sharp and
Foshay, and $4,000 additional in the
case of Richmond, who is already under
that amount. District Attorney Mar
tin, in his original motion, asked that
the defendants be put under $1OO 600
bail each. IV r.
Ex-Alderman Waite was before the
Grand Jury about noon and gave evil
dence upon which, in ali probability,
the indictment against the alleged
bribe giyers has been found. Just be-
fore recess a hatch of indictments was
handed to Judge Cowing; soon after
wards three coaches, containing
Jake Sharpe, Mr.. Forshay, Inspector
Byrnes and two assistants that left
the police headquarters about o'clock,
drew up in. front of the general ses-
siOns court house. The party aIighted
and entered the District Attorneys
Office, where they were obliged
to await the return Of the
judge who was at lunch. The
court room was crowded when
they were arraigned. The court fixed
the bail at $4,000 each, for Sharp and
Forshay, and sos, coo in the case of
Richmond, who is already under SOS, 900
on another indictment. The bonds
were perfected and the prisoners were
set at liberty. Thomas B. Kerr, another
of the indicted bribers, subsequently
appeared and was released on bail. The
indictments against the prisoners
charged each with having bribed one
or another of the ex-Aldermen by pay
ing each $4,000 to vote in favor of
granting the Broadway Surface Rail-
road franchise.
