Mr.: Corbln. for the company, contended
that Ii the ordinance should be held to be
invalid the company had the right TO
alter the grade under the clause of the
general railroad law. which refers to
county roads, which ne claimed was ap-
pltcable to cities. The Chancellor did
not seem TO agree with him and then Mr..
Corbin contended that The Company was
warranted In proceeding with its work
under the law under which the Pennsyl-
vania Company elevated its tracks
through Jersey City. But that law, it
was shown, referred to roads then in ex-
istence.

Dollars Reward to Defend Himself
With in tho Court---He is Said to be
Living Among the Indians.

CmcAoo, Sept. 21.-The fact has just
developed here that Frank Tascott, a
brother OF William Tascott, the alleged
murderer of millionaire Amos j. Smell,
had extended negotiations with the po-
lice authorities some six months ago,
looking to the surrender OF his brother.
The terms on which the surrender
was to be made were that an indictment
for burglary against the noted fugitive
was to be nolle prosquied, and that he
was to be paid the reward OF $4,000
offered by the relatives of the dead man
for his capture, to be used
in his defense against the
charge Of murder. The negotiations,
however, finally fell through, Frank
Tascott becoming suspicious that the
police department would not give his
brother fair treatment. These facts are
admitted by Police Inspector Marsh,
who was at that time chief OF police.
Mr.. Marsh never knew wnere Tascott
was in hiding. Detective Duffy, who
was concerned in the negotiations, says
that in his opinion the evidence against
Tascott is not sufficient to convict him.
The reportorial queries which brought
out the above statements were started
by dispatch from st. Paul, Mimi.
The dispatch said that the now nortor-
ious fugitive, two days after SHELLS
murder, arrived at st. Paul, where he
remained week. Thence he went to
Winnepeg, thence to farm fifty miles
from that point and eventually to the

the governor promised that member

which ensued it leaked out what Camp

the other brotherhood knocked out
