ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrspArcH.,

Il
NEW YORK, MAY 5.-Henry L. Sayles,
ex-Alderman of 1884, is here again from
foreign shore; that is, he was here for
awhile, and maybe he is yet. He is the
first of the colony in Canada to venture
back into the jurisdiction of
New York. sayles ran away on
the eve of his trial upon
the charge of bribery in October, 1886, and
Brother Sol Sayles, Brother Henry's part
ner in the butcher business at Jefferson Mar
ket. and his bondsman had to pay S25, 900 to
the city treasury. The brothers met Brother
Sol up town this morning and they went to-
gether to the District Attorneys office, so
that Brother Henry could surrender himself
to District Attorney Fellows.
AT THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS.
They reached the office at about o'clock.
Sayles, when he took French leave, was fat
and rosy. He is fat still, but not rosy, and
there is plentiful sprinklIng of gray in his
dark hair and mustache. In the halcyon
Aldermanic days, too, he was::given to fine
raiment and sparkling jewels. To-day he
was dressed in clothing unmistakably En-
glish, because of its obtrusive bagginess,
and there was not even glimmer of jewel
about him.
Colonel Fellows was out at lunch, and
Brother Sol told Private Secretary MeGfee
that time might be saved by drawing a bail
bond for Brother Henry, which he (Sol)
would sign later on. While the bond was
being drawn Brother Henry got restless. The
fear of spending even a night in the
tombs apparently made him uncomfortable,

out. So, when Colonel Fellows returned
from lunch, brother Sol was there and so
was the bond; but brother Henry was not,
and the
BOND WAS NOT EXECUTED.
Brother Sol telephoned to his shop, pre-
sumably to brother Henry, and Detective
Sergeant Herman went away in hurry. At
about o'clock he returned without brother
Henry. Then Colonel Fellows gave Ker-
nan a bench warrant for brother Henry,
and brother Sol and Herman de-
parted together. If he found brother
Henry it was Kernan's intention
to lock him up over night in police head
quarters, but it was believed that it was ex-
tremely unlikely that brother Henry would
let himself be found, and that he would keep
himself extremely dark until tomorrow,
when he will appear in General Sessions
and surrender himself with prospect Of
having ample time to perfect his bail bond
before the close of the days business. 1t is
not at all probable that Ssyles Will be tried.
He was noea member of the combine of
of 13 of the Board of 1884, and the indict-
ments against all the other Aldermen of
that Board who were not members of the
Combine" were dismissed, Colonel Eel

against them to the effect that there never
was any evidence against them justi-
flying their trial. Sayles has been preparing
the way for his return for several weeks.
The next step will probably be a motion to
vacate the order forfeiting the S25, 900 bail
that brother Henry jumped. Another Al
derman of the Board of 1884 will seek relief
from indictment.
Ex-Alderman Pearson, who turned
States evidence on the trial Of Jacob
Sharp, testifying, among other things, that
Sharp offered him 81, 900 for his vote in his
(Pearson's) mems furnishing goods store in
Sixth avenue, will move, through COUNSEL
before Judge Fitzgerald, that the indict-
ment against hum be dismissed.
