The AIdermanfc Trouble In New
York.
New York, April 9.-District Attorney
Martin to day said: "Ex-Alderman Waite
has made statements which implicate g
great many men, including all of the %
Aldermen who voted for the Broadway
franchise-one outsider absolutely and
four or five others i~nferentially. As
to the whereabouts Of the men whose
names have been connected with the
affair, Keenan, and Moloney. I believe, are
in Canada. Miller is in Florida, and 4
think Dempsey is there also. Butt should
most certainly like to know where he is.
Ruthman is understood not to have been
here since this investigation began, and
am told he sailed for Germany several
months ago. Delacey, l do not believe,
has run away. As to the others l have
only this to say: I believe that all these
men who didn't go away originally will be
here when wanted. Ny honest conviction

up in this bribery business, and Of the out
siders, brothers Of middlemen or others,
almost as many more. l know of at least
six outsiders who are involved, according
to the evidence already in our possession.
I might add that we have evidence of cor
ruption and bribery in connection with
other franchises than that of the broadway
railroad. and for other years than 1884
mass of it that would be sufficient to con-
vict, I think, without the Broadway evil
dence at all"
James Richmond has been arrested by
the Central Office detectives, and is now
locked up at the police headquarters on an
indictment, charging him with having
been connected with the Broadway rail-
raod franchise bribery. He will be taken
to the District Attorneys Office later In the
day.

II. Darbey. a leading member of the
Knights of Labor, and notified to take his
force away, or they would be put out.

or 80 men were seen a short distance away,

was there to guard the property, and

one in the crowd replied: "Well, die
then" and a regular shooting between the

his right side, and one or two other lesser
wounds in other portions of his body.

ported that several were wounded, but If
so they were taken away by their COM
rades. Sheriff Morthen was t~elegraphed.
and hurriedly collected a posse and went
over to Argenta. Near the south end Of
the Iron Mountain railroad bridge three
men were halted and arrested. One,
