Notwithstanding the profuse statements
Of counsel. young Duhrkoop. the nine

them TO do 80.
The story Of young Duhrkoop's arrest
and arraignment is a mos. peculiar one
One night ABOUT three weeks ago Danr-
koop was caught entering Huboelrs jew
elry store on Newark street. After re-
sisiing the police he was landed in cell.
When his arrest became known it created
sensation, as Duhrkoop's pc ople are
wealthy
The parents, when seen after their sons
arrest, said that they would not recognize
him as their son any more. They must
have suddenly changed their mInd, how
ever. as on the very night Of the attempt-
ed burglary. about ten o'clock. the elder
Duhrk0op and ex-Freeholder John Brun-
ing rang the bell of Recorder McDono-
ugh's residence on Bloomfield street.
They were ushered in, and emerged a few
moments later with an order for Duhr-
koop's release.
They jumped on a car and hurried to
the police station. Sergeant MarDell was
| behind the desk. The order for Young
| Duhrkoop's release was shown to him.
| He saw that the order was genuine and
had no conpunction about releasing the
| prisoner.
About an hour later Chief Donovan
1 went into the police station. He was con-
| graduating himself on having Duhrkoop
| under lock and key, as be was satisfied
| he could connect him with several other
| burglaries- Sergeant Mannen told the
Chief that Duhrkoop had been released
| on an order from the Recorder. The Chief
i was enraged.
He said, This is a grave error. This
| man Duhrkoop viii not appear again."
DuhrkooD was TO appear the next day
according TO the terms OF the $500 bail
bond which Was signed BY Bruring- The
next morning in Court Duhrkoop was
i missing. Assemblyman Daily was there
| as his counsel. and asked for further
| adjournment until January 3. The Re-
corder granted it. A few days later
/ Duhrkoop was seen on the Bowery in
! New YORK by Policeman Nelson The
| policeman could not arrest him. as bis
| appearance in Court was not called for
/ until January 3.
| Duhrkoop's counsel continually told
the newspaper reporters tnAI Du1rkoop
| would appear in court on January an q
clear himself Of the charge The counsel
said that it would be proven that Duhr-
koop was waiting for a horse car when
he was arrested for the burglary. The
| police said that IL Duhrkoop was pro-
1 duced they would be greatly surprised
| They were not surprised
| This morning there was great deal OF
| suppressed excitement in the Recorders
/ Court Chief Donovan fitted about. as
| aid R0undsmen Stanton and Stack, who
| caught young Duhrkoop. Assemblyman'
/ DAILY dropped In. He said that II w0u Id
be impossible 10 produce Duhrkoop, and
asked for a further adjournment, which
| the Recorder refused.
Dave Hubbeil, the jeweller. who had
not yet had an opportunity TO make u
complaint. then did so. and all the papers
in the case were sent TO the Grand jury.
/ Chief Donovan was seen in his private
! oface He wore a Disguised LOOK. Said
| he'll believed right along that this fell
low would not snow up. ! am greatly
| mortified at the whole proceedings 1 do
not believe that the Recorder should take
bail for burglary. II 1 am not mist aiken.
| believe he is not allowed 10 do So"
The scene OF Inc next ACT IN the pecul-
far case will be in the Grand Jury room
| and its outcome will be watched with in
! terest.
