THE CITY $4,000 TO THE GOOD ANYwAY-sTIR
AMONG THE INDICTED ALDERMEN-RUMoRs
| OF CONFESSIONS NOT CONFIRMED
WAITE ON DICK AGAIN.
There are good reasons for believing that ex Alder
man Henry L. Sayes whose trial was to take place on
Monday. is in Canada He not at his place Of
business, No. 12S Sixth-ave., yesterday, at his
homo in West Forty -second-st, could or rather
would. any of his intimate friends relatives give any
satisfactory explanation of his whereabouts AS near
as can be learned Mr. Sayles went away shortly after
receiving his summons for trial on Thursday night
He either went that night early Friday, by way
of Buffalo, to Montreal. from which place he tele-
graphcd his arrival to his friends in this city The tee
| gram was sent in of Osbornes drug store In
Seventh-aye near Twefth-st.
1t was reported yesterday afternoon that he had been
accompanied far Buffalo by John C. Shields, the
| confidential clerk of Solomon Sayes, the ex-Alder-
| mans brother Mr.. Shields was last evening In
regard to this aud declared it not so. He said
81 don't know anything about Henrys going away.
There is no truth in the reports so far as am
cerned."
"WLere Is the x-Aldermanl' y was asked
lie is out on business and will be back shortly"
He kept repeating this until sunset and long after
ward to all inquirers Solomon Sayes, who is on his
brothers bond for s25 900. he SAID, out on his
farm in NewJersey with Mrs Sayles who has been sick
| for time
| No one could be found yesterday who had seen the
ex-Alderman since Thursday night except the clerks
in bis brothers store who declared that he had been
| there every day, including yesterday. man who
knows HIM by sight ciatms that he saw him going
toward the Grand Central Station with another man
| on Thursday night
WHAT MR.. NICOLL SAYS
80 the best of my knowledge and belief Sayle is IN
Canada" said Assistant rictAtorney Nicoll late
last night. We heard at the District Attorneys
Office this morning that telegram signed by Sayes
and dated at Montreal had been received in this city,
Careful investigation convinced us that the story is
true He evidently left Saturday morning and the
telegram indicated that he had arrived in Montreal
safely II barely possible that he has merely gone
there to confer with MoOney. Dempsey, De Lacey and
Keenan, and that he will return. McQuadc did that
once you remember. IL he is not back when his case
is called Judgment will at be entered against his
brother Solomon Sayles, who is his bondsman for the
| $500 in which he was held.
There appears to be wrong impression abroad as
| to just how faI go in watching the movements
OF man on bail and what steps we can take to pre-
vent his leaving town TO escape trial As was apty
said in THE SUNDAY TMBUNE, the District-Attorncy
only issue bench warrant for the arrest OF man
on bail when he can swear that he believes that the
man IS going away to escape trial and conviction.
You will readily admit that it impossible for Mr.
Marine to have known at just exactly what moment
the resolution entered Sayes's head to 90 away. 1t
before his trial.
-The amount of the bail in which each of the in
dcted Aldermen released is the largest ever
received in this city and thought to be sufficient
to relieve of all anxiety In the matter OF their ap
pearance when wanted. As extra precauton every
detective policeman in the city ordered TO
port to us through he ldquarters any movement the
part of any of the indicted Aldermen which would
lead them to believe that they were about to quit town.
| would really like to convict some more OF them TO
emphasize the example, but if they all go the city will
be $500 600 better ohthat is fourteen Aldermen at
| $50 900 each aud one. Duffy. at $40. .OOO'
Is there any truth in the statements that Duffy and
FugraH have turned States evidence y askec the re-

selves have entered into a compact neither 10 deny
| nor affirm them hereafter"
| Sayess supposed departure seemed to surprise tho
| other indicted Aldermen considerably. That leaves

that it was in all probability true Well, all right,

Ex-AIderman Kirk also reported to have joined
