TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Daxid II. King an aged builder, of No. 233
West Fifty second-st., had faintlng iii yesterday
,fternoon near the Mott-st entrance Of Police
Headquarters. He had gone up TO the rooms Of
the Health Board on the second floor Of the
building and was walking down stairs again when
he was attacked by faintness. The usual rene
dies were applied, and King soon recovered. He
said he was seventy-two years old, but Was able
To 90 home without assistance Policeman
Phillips, of the Sanitary Squad, escorted him to
Broadway and saw him safely on car.
At the time of Kings sickness the Health
Board was in session. After the meeting it was
learned that the Board had decided to send TO the
District-Attorney letter which King had written
10 Sanitary Superintendent Day, and that the letter
was thought to be proof of attempted bribery.
President Wilson, of the Health Board, would not
show the letter to reporters but he gave brief
explanation of the Boards action. DIR. Day has
been on sick leave for several weeks, and lately
has been staying at Stratford, Conn. A few days
ago registered letter addressed to Dr. Day was
received at Sanitary Headquarters and it was
forwarded to Stratford unopened. 1t was written
by King who requested DR.. Days help in having
certain orders of the board modified. The orders
were in relation to some houses owned or recently
built by King. A $50 bill was inclCsed in the
letter.
DR.. Day promptly sent the letter and money
to President Wilson, suggesting that such an at
tempt TO corrupt public official should be pun
ished. King did not see the Commissioners yester.
day, but it was believed that he received some
information of the accusation of attempted bribery
which had been made against him, and that the
information caused his faintness. II said
that King prominent builder and was
puted TO be "a millionaire. Dr. Day. during all
the years of his service as Sanitary Superintend.
ent, has been known ncorruptible official.
A reporter went to Mr.. Kings home last night
to see if he had anything to say in his own behalf.
The house ! ,ked if il deserted; the blinds
closed and curtains drawn, and an awning
almost hid the big front doors from view. Re
peated ringing of the bell finally brought servant
10 the door, She declared that Mr.. King was
out of town. He went away yesterday, she finally
said, and she did not know when he would return.
