New YORK, March 30-Chaun5ey NJ.
Depew appeard before the grand jury today
as witness in its investigation into the
recent New York Central tunnel accident.
Later the jury waited upon Judge Fitz-
gerald and asked him number of ques,
tions. In the course of his reply, the
judge said, if the directors of the railroad
have control and engagement of the road,
it is their duty to see that the require
ments of the law for safety of travelling is
regarded. Any person concerned in
the commission of an act is a
member of the liable party. The
shall be responsible. These people con-
troll the management of this road. They
have clear duty imposed upon them by the
statute. If they have violated the statute
an indict nent should be found and let me
say that while it is proper in cases where
persons of eminent standing in a COM
munity have serious charges made against
them, is is well carefully to inquire into
all the particulars, yet the law requires
that the same law should be enforced
against them as against any one else.
If facts the warrant an Indictment
should be found. Judge Fitzgerald s
words created stir in the court. In re-
ply to further questions the urt said the
directors could be charged with a misde-
meanor, as well as their operators. There
is no doubt IN the mind of any person who
was in the court room that when the jury
filed out but that true bill would be
found against the directors of the road.

ATTEMPT To POISON a FAMILY.
The Housekeeper of j. 8. Hascau Dies
Under Suspicious Circumstances

OMAHA, March 27.-What is suspected
to be an attempted poisoning of the fam
lily of J. S. Hascal!, a prominent politician,
was brought to light today. Last Tues
day while Hascall was away from home,
five members of his household were taken
suddenly sick after dinner and the next
morning Emma Andersen, the house-keep-
er, died. The others are recovering. The
family kept the matter quiet until today,
but the probabilities now are that the
housekeeper's body, which is buried at
Stedwards, Neo., will be exhumed and an
inquest be held. As Hascal is divorced
from his wife and the Anderson woman is
the cause of the separation, it is claimed
that threats have been made that she
would not die natural death.
