FELLOW DIRECTORS Worried.

Managed TO FInd n Littie Fan In the
Proceedings Here and There
DR.. Chauncey Mitchell Depew had altogether
yesterday eight directors meetings which he
should have attended. lie was not able TO get
to one OF them. He stood in his office In the
Grand Central Station from early morning
until late in the afternoon receiving folks who
called and said that they were glad that he
was not going TO Jail. Police Captain McCullaRh.
the elder. was the first visitor. DR.. Depew said
he was glad to see his old friend. especially as
It was not on police business. Many OF tho
visitors made pleasant remarks to the Doctor.
like this:

you escaped"

1t was easy to see that he WAS heartily Rlad
that the trial Of the New Haven directors was
over. Tho trouble had undoubtedly fretted
him, but now his geniality had entirely re-
turned. He told Sun reporter Of some OF the
nnuoyances he had experienced since tho

roctors.

1t was sad to observe tho mental torments OF
the old gentle men In the Board OF Directors OF
the New Haven road These men for life
time have becn known for their integrity and
probtty. They wore forced 10 believe that this
prosecution was for political effect They felt.
under the circumstances. that the whole idea
was to convict them whether they were guilty
or not. 1t was hard to see them worrying, and
to receive their visits at my home in the morn
ing and In the evening and on SUNDAYS They
wanted to discuss the situation every moment.
