HYER's FRAUDS.
From information received by Chief
of Police Murphy from Chief of Police
Crowley of San Francisco, it has been
learned that Hyer, wheu arrested, had on
his person $40 in cash. Hyer also in-
formed Chief Crowley that he had $500 in
the New Amsterdam Bank of New York,
and his wife had the remainder of the
stolen money in drafts IN
her possession. Hyer has directed
his wife not to give up the drafts, telling
her that il he once got free they would
board the first steamer for Australia. A
later dispatch from Chief Crowley states
bezzler was found bank book which
showed that he had deposited in the New
Amsterdam Bank of New York
first Sl20. then $1,275. and next
So, $50. Chief of Police Murphy, upon re-
ceipt of this information, went TO the
bank and learned that the information
was correct, but that Ever had drawn
out all but $780, and this sum still re-
mains to his credit.
The last dispatch Chief Murphy re-
ceived from Chief Crowley arrived yes
terday. and brought the information that
Hyer by literally feeling prominent
lawyer, had finally received writ of
habeas corpus. which was returnable at
two O'Clock yesterday afternoon.
At noon Chief Murphy sent q reply to
this and last night The chief was notified
that the writ had been dismissed aud that
Hyer would be detained until the arrival
of Detective Dalton.
Mr.. Harney still maintains that he will
prosecute Hyer to the fullest extent OF the
law.
Rumor had it yesterday that it was
Superintendent M rsh's Intention to
have his daughter apply for a divorce in
case of Hyer's conviction. Superintend-
ent Marsh will not evade Hver to escape
the punishment he has made himself
liable to. Much sympathy is expressed
for his young wife.
