More Directors.
New YORK, March 6.-Coroner Levy to-
day issued warrants for Chauncey N. De-
pew, George N. Miller, Wilson G. Hunt,
Joseph Park and William Rockefeller, five
of the directors of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroad, and then
awaited the arrival at his Office of his Off
GERS with their prisoners. Some of those
for whom warrants had been issued did
not wait their service, but came on their
own volition to tho coroner's Office. The
first to arrive was Joseph Park. He was
accompanied by his son, Hobart j. Park,
who became his fathers bondsman, quail
flying in $1,000, the amount of bail being
fixed by the coroner at $25,OO0 Charles
P Clarke, the president of the road, was
the next to arrive. With him was
Henry w. Taft, his attorney. President
Clarke said that he had remained in the
city over night to learn whether his pres
ence was desired by the coroner. Turning
to the two Parks he asked them to become
his bondsmen for the required $25, 900.
The coroner refused at once to accept
either of the Parks. President Clarke
then wished to give one bond for the ap-
pearance of all the directors of the road.
This the coroner refused, saying that in
dividual bonds must be given. Counsel
Taft then raised an objection to the amount
of the bond, contending that it was entire
ly out of proportion. The coroner replied
that all concerned should take the
sum of the bond as a compliment.
The warrants for George N. Miller
and Nelson G.. Hunt, not at the
time having been served, Mr.. Taft asked
the coroner to hold them for day or two
as the two gentlemen were well advanced
in years and he wished to consult their
convenience in coming to the coroner's
Office. The coroner said he would wait
until Monday night. Frank Tilford Of
the firm of Park & Tilford, at this point
arrived and gave bond for President
Clarke. At O'Clock Lawyer LOOMS of
the Central road arrived and asked that
Mr.. Depew's bond be prepared. Half an
hour later that gentleman, accompanied
by Cornelius Vanderbilt, walked in. When
Mr.. Depew had signed the bond he asked
what the amount of it was twenty-five
thousand dollars" said Coroner Levy.
"By George" exclaimed the Central's
president, in surprise. Mr.. Vanderbilt
then stepped forward to the desk when the
coroner asked: "You are freeholder, Mr..
vanderbilt?' eyes," was the millionaire's
reply. "You qualify for over $50, 000a"
asked the coroner. Eyes" again replied
Mr.. Vanderbilt, and he signed the bond.
The property described in the bond was
Mr.. Vanderbilt's residence on Fifth ave-
nue.. William Rockefeller did not put in
an appearance, but is expected in the
morning.
Tonight the coroner signed the warrants
for the arrest of the other directors, and
they will be served as soon as possible.
They are the following persons: E. H.
Trowbridge Of New Haven, William D.
