BOoDLER McQUADE.
The Passing Of Sentence on Him De
ferred Until Monday Afternoon.

New YORK, Dec. 17.-Part II of the
court of general sessions, where convicted
Doodle" ex-Ald. McQuade was to be ar
raigned to-day, was crowded to the doors
with spectators anxious to witness the pro-
ceedings McQuade came to court in Gus
tody of Under Sheriff Sexton, five minutes
before the opening of the proceedings. He
wore an air of bravery. the first symptom
of the kind in the long drama in which he
has figured, and said good morning,
boys" in tone and with a manner Savor-
ing of the reckless. AS he removed his
overcoat and pulled off his gloves he
smlingly surveyed the faces about him.
and nodded recognition to friend here
and there in the audience. When he had
taken his seat before the bar he chatted
with one or two friends who happened to
be sitting near. Gen. Tracy, ex-senator
Thomas F. Grady and Richard Newc0mbe.
of McQuade'S counsel. entered the court
room five minutes after their client. They
were serious, and the face of Mr.. New
combe was grave in the extreme. They
each talked in turn with their client. The
lawyers for the prosecution were late in
putting in an appearance, though Recorder
Smythe
WAS ON HAND PROMPTLY
and took his seat on the bench. When the
district attorney entered court he moved
that sentence be passed on McQuade. Mr..
Newcombe asked for q stay Of sentence to
allow the defense time to decide upon their
future action. The defense had recently
learned of acts of jurymen done before the
trial-acts which should inyalidate their
action. Gen. Tracy intimated that from
information secured since the trial he be-
lieved that jurymen had, after they were
summoned. expressed themselves as to what
they would do in case they were accepted
as jurors in this trial. Mr.. Nicoll, for the
prosecution. read the section OF the code re-
lating to such cases. and cOntended that
neither of the clauses of that section had
been violated. Recorder Smyth said it
seemed that
THE MOTION OF THE DEFENSE
referred to acts done after the jurymen
were summoned and before they were
sworn, and he thought it would be proper
to grant the time asked for. District At
torney MARITIME stated that he would ask fol
the prosecution that there be a stay till
Monday, as he had received an affidavit
from the defense referring to matter for
consideration. The affidavit by the counsel
for the defense is to the effect that trial
was suspended, and that one Nesbtt
and one Vickermann were brought into
court and that they were handed and
read certain pages of printed testimony,
which they signed and made affidavits to
before and in the presence of the jury, etc.
The affidavit goes on to say that Nesbltt
and Vickerman were former employees of
one of the jurors, and that the district at
torney stated that there had been serious
charges made against juror. This, it was
cOntended by the defense, was improper.
The recorder suspended sentence until II
o'clock on Monday morning. The defense
had asked for time to prepare affidayits
which they will submit in argument on a
motion for new trial. None of the other
accused aldermen were present in court.
After the matter of the sentence of Nc
Quade had been adjourned the district at
torney. ex-Judge Fullerton and Nelson j..
Waterbury, counsel for Jacob Sharpe,
James a. Richmond and John w. FOShay,
under indictment for bribery, met and in
formally agreed upon Wednesday at II a.
m. as the time for the argument on the mo-
ton to compel the district attorney to pro-
duce the minutes of the grand jury VIII 'ch
indicted the three defendants. Recorder
Smyth agreed and the date was definitely
fixed. Court then adjourned until Monday.
JACOB ROSENBERG,
known as Juror No. on the last McQuade
trial, turned the tables to-day upon his ac-
cusers. James r. Vickerman and Thomas
J. Nesbitt, who charged during the trial
that Rosenberg had committed perjury when
he swore On examination in the jury box
that he knew none of the Doodle aldermen
nor John keenan,. Rosenberg, late this
afternoon. had Vickerman and Nesbitt ar
rested and locked up in Ludlow street jail.
This was the result of suits brought against
them by Rosenberg for SANDER in the su-
preme court. Bail was fixed at So, 00O
each. Rosenberg thinks he has been DAM
aged S55, 900 as to his reputation by the al
legged slanderous statements of his former
employees, and his suits are to recover that
sum from each.
