A WICKED CONSPIRACY.
The Flack Divorce SO styled BY the Grand
Jury-The Sheriff and His Asso.
ciates Indicted-JudRe and
Lawyers Censured.

Lawyers Censured-
NEW YORK, September 30.-At noon TO-
day the grand jury came into Part l, Gen.
eral Sessions, with the result of their inves-
tigation of the Flack divorce case. Fore
man Fosdick read long presentment which
stated that the jury gave the case
very careful consideration, and had called
before them and examined every person who
could throw any light on the conspiracy,
The jury were satisfied that there was a
wicked conspiracy. That such conspiracy
could be carried on under cover of law was
OF great public concern. The jury called
the attention-of the Legislature to the per-
nicious system of appointing referees to
take testimony In divorce cases. The testi-
mony should be taken bv Judges in opeu
court. The harm which would be done by
the publicity of such evidence would be far
less than that which befalls when things are
done in secret.
ut is obvious" runs the presentment.
''that the decree of divorce could not have
been obtained without the sanction of Judge
Bookstaver; that sanction was obtained
partly by deceit and imposture, and partly
either by judicial negligence or judicial col
fusion. Ii by negligence, such was ineI-
cusable; if by collusion, such was criminal.
We have not determined which,
The jury next called attention to the
pernicious habit of lawyers allowing their
names to be used in cases in which they are
not employed. Lawyer Wright, while it
might be said he intended no wrong, still
deserved to be censured. Ambrose Mcneil
and Joseph Meeks, the jury thought, had
imposed on the Court, and had OBJ
tanned the divorce by collision,
deceit and fraud. The presentment
concluded by stating that the jurors. after
She most careful investigation, had come to
the CANclpsion that a wicked and criminal
conspiracy had been committed, and the
persons whose names appeared on the ac-
companying indictments deserve to be
treated according to law. Foreman Fos-
dick then handed Judge Gildersleeve the
presentment and the indictments.
District Attorney Fellows stated late this
afternoon that the following persons were
indicted in connection with the Flack con-
spiracy case, and would be in court to-mor-
wow to plead: Sheriff James A. Flack,
William L. Flack, his son; Judge Am
brose Mcneil, counsel for the Sheriff;
Thomas Meeks, referee in the divorce pro-
ceedings; Mrs. Raymond, correspondent in
the case, and George D. Hart brother-in-
law of the Sheriff

MARTINS ANSWER.

He Asks That the Petition of the Wisbart
Crowd be Dismissed.
John A. Martin yesterday fled in the Clerk
of Courts Office his answer to the petitions of NJ.
W. Wishatt, ]. 2. Young and E. P. Hesser,
who asked for release from the recognizauces
which had been declared forfeited by Alder
man McNulty. Martin denies the allegations of
Wishart and the others stating that the cases
had been continued before the Alderman and
new bail given. He says that there was no
postponement, and new bail was only given
when they were brought in on alias warrants.
he states further that suit has been brought
in the Common Pleas Court to recover on the
forfeited bonds, and that the matter is not
within the jurisdiction of the Quarter Sessions
Court. He asks that the petitions be dismissed.

THE SUNDAY RAID.
A Hearing in the Case of Water Street

A Hearing in the Case of Water Street
Speak. Easies.
Joseph Anderson, who is the alleged pro-
prietor of the speak-easy on Water street
raided on Sunday, was held for court by
Judge Gripp Yesterday, on charges of sell
ing liquor without license and selling on
Sunday.
Richard McCabe, one of the men arrested
in the raid on this place, has appealed from
the decision of the Alderman ining him S.
and costs. He says he merely occupied a
room in the building in which the illegal
liquor selling was carried on, and he denies
that he was with the other men at the time
OF the raid.

A MEMORANDUM FOR A WILL.

The Children Appeal From the Registers
Decision.
The appeal from the decision Of the Register
in admitting to probate the will of John w.
Butler was heard before Judge Hawkins yester-
day. Butler died in Tennessee in 1875 His
widow took out letters of administration and
was settling up the estate when an old mem
orandum book was found. 1t showed the dis
position Butler wished to make of his property
and charged up to the shares of several of his
children money that he had already given them.
This was taken as will, and as part of his
estate was in Allegheny county the will was
hled here for probate and a contest on the part
OF some of the children commenced. The
questions at issue are the legality of the filing
of the will here when Butler was a resident Of
Tennessee, and the validity of the letters issued
TO the widow.
