HAlhuk pCnomo,
NEW YoRK, Feb. 16.-DIstrict Attorney
Fellows announced yesterday that the
complaint egsinat Sage and Gould would
ba sent before the Grand Jury for action
some day this week. -
The complaint is the one which vii
liam 81. Delancey, representing aome o
the bondholders OF the Kan5ss Pacific
railroad has been pressing. he allcgsl
that Mesars. Gould and Sage appropriated
the Denver and Pacific stock intrusted Il
them, by the aid OF fraudulent suit In
the Supreme Court.
Judge MARITIME, just before the end Of
his term as District Attorney, recommend.
ed that the case bo submitted to the Grand
Jury, and Mr.. Fellows, after an independ.
ent examination, has decided TO take that
course He sRid: II know Of no reason
why there should be any diapensatlon as
lar as these nen are concerned because
they are rich, nor, on the other hand
should they be persecutsd. Men have
met me on every corner full OF advice tc
do this or that. There is much vindict.
iveness in come men. ehRll submit the
whole question to the Grsud Jury and lei
that body act"
Mr.. Fellows said that no one had sp,
preached him in any improper way on
either side. The action OF the Grand
Jury will probably be taken without any
formal accommodation by the District
Attorney, but Mr.. Fellows or Mr.. Semple
may be present Cd an adviser. The case
will probably not be reached before to-
morrow.
Friends Of Messrs. Gould and Sage wore
not disturbed by the District Attorney'l
action, Mr.. Gould ia in Europe, and al
though he knew something about the be,
ginning oI the suit before he went abroad
7 ia certain that his friends have moi
thought 1t necessary to Telegraph him OF
the subject.
George ], Gould says: "I thiak the
whole proceeding Is an outrage, and car
hardly restrain ny indignation. l do moi
care ioE myself, but the effect on my wife
and mother may not be calculated. Ever
II there should be no indictment found
innocent persons will suffer from the q .
parent disgrace. There could have beer
no Indictment the very day after the
tranBaction was completed, and certainly
there is no chance for 1t now, nine year
aiLerWard, ] have every reason to sup
pose that the persecution Of my isther i
amply blackmailing scheme"
Russell Sage said that he had expected
the action Of the DiAtrics Attorney. 81
should not know Col. Fellows by sight /
] met him on the street" he added, "but
can understand that he really has nj
escape from the popular clAmor ralset
SgRiast him In the recent political can
vAss. He may be Of the opinion tha
there Is no case against US, butHit be dlt
not present the matter TO the Grand JurJ
it would be said ct once that he yielded 4
improper motives. / expected that b.
would do Just as he has done. The GranC
Jury will be allowed to examine the CUES
ton and l have no doubt 1t will reach th
same conclusion that any sensible mai
who 10 made acquainted with tho iaes
must come TO. The tIapGAotion has bee
open for nine years, and bondholder
could have complained before this II ther
had been any injustice. On the contrary
Il has been approved "a Q wise measuI
and the Union Pacific reapsd the full bsr
eft Of It."
