About What 10 May Lead To.

For the first time since bis arrest in the
Mayors Office several weeks ago Z. Buford
Grymes, late clerk to the City Treasurer,
is in the actual custody of the police.
having spent the whole of last night as a
prisoner in the Second ststion-house.
He arrived i'll the city on the $50 P. NJ
train over the James-River division of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railway in charge of

OF the depot by Mr. A. B. Guigon, perso-
Lal friend and one oi his counsel; MIR; B.

ana Mr.. Wallace Washington, clerk TO the
Chief Of Police.
The officer, his prisoner. Mr.. Peyton
Grymes, and Mr.. Guigon entered car
rage and we're driven TO tho nome of the
accused, corner Fifth and Clay streets;
Only few minutes were spent here and
by O'Clock Sergeant TomlInson had de-
nvered his charge at the Second station
house.
LONG CONFERENCE.
Immediately upon their arrival Mr.. Gui-
eon, his client. and the latter's brother
went into Captain Angles Office and were
closeted there for a little over an hour:
AZ the end OF this ;ime Mr.. Guigon and
whispered conferences were held with the
officers. after which Captain Angle told
Policeman Thomas Walton to 60 with the
accused to his house, but under no cir
cumstances to lose sight of him. At this
time the prisoner came out OF the ONCE
and remarked 10 Captain Angle that he
simply wished TO GO 10 his house that he
might change his linen. The two then left
together and returned after a short time.
During the remainder of the evening the
accused sat in the Captains Office and had
little or nothing to say To any one.
SURRENDERED by HIS BoNDsMES.
The bail given IN the case two weeks ago
when sent on from the Police Court was
$1,000, The sureties on tho bond were
Messrs. TIP. Campbell, Samuel VI. Page, and
+. Is. Thaw, the latter being a brother-in-
law of the accused. The first two went on
the bond Of their own free will and accord
without being asked.
Thursday Messrs Campbell and Page
went to Judge Witt and requested that
they he released as sureties. After some
little talk the following was issued:

+. b. Grymes, Of tho city OF Richmond, is de-
liyered TO bail unto 7. p. Campbell, Of the said

Unnamed f. B. Grymes. Il. p. CAMPBELL
A second was also made out. the name
of Mr. Page being where that of Mr.. Camp
bell is in the above.
SENT FOR GRYyEs.
Judge Witt sent for Sergeant Tomlinson
TO 20 after the accused. The Sergeant,
being n personal friend. asked TO be ex-
cused from so disagreeable a duty. but no
refusal was taken.
At half-past that afternoon he left for
Big Island. arriving at Mr.. Thaw's, n
brother-in-law of the accused, with whom
he was stopping, at o'clock Yesterday
morning Grymes was not little sur
prised when told his bondsmen wanted to
surrender him. and after stopping few
minutes he and the officer left for the
train, arriving here in due course OF time.
Az UNPLEASANT TASK.
When they got off the ears at the depot,
10 have looked into the face of both 1t
would have been hard for person unac-
qaluted with them TO tell which was the
prisoner. The latter's face was haggard
and worn, showing that his trouble has not
get lightly upon him. Sergeant IomlnsOn
had not only been up all night and travelled
almost continuously for twenty-siX hours,
but was feeling badly from having been as
signed such a mission. To DISPATCH re-
pGrfer he said the duty was the most dis
tasteful and the day the most miserable he
had spent since he had been on the police
. force.
WHY SURRENDERED.
Nearly every one was surprised yester-
dav afternoon when they heard that the
/ 70 Ia r
Grymes. Ii was generally known that he
wss AT Big Island, the DrsPATCH Of last
Tuesday having stated that he was there
with the knowledge Of his counsel and the
consent Of the Commemorative Attorney.
So far as could be learned he had shown
no disposition 10 get away, ana the AcllOn
of the bondsmen was regarded rs queer:
IL was suggested IN many quarters that
they were largely influenced TO take this
course BY rumor that has gained great
currency in the last few DAYS TO the eject
that discrepancies revealed IN the Clty
Hall investigation aggregate something
like $1,000.
Is He LAWFULLY HELD
There was some question among. the
officers at the station-house last night nS
10 whether they had right to hold
Grvmes. They were of opinion that they
had no charge against him, and that the
CITY Sergeant was his proper custodian.
The point was settled by entering the
name on the book and opposite II the
words. Surrendered by his bondsmen."
In this shape it will come up IN the 70
lice Court this morning.
MORE WARRANTS PROBABLE.
Mr. II. Is. Boudar, who has been making
an investigation of the books IN the offices
of the Treasurer and Auditor under dlrec-
tions from the Mayor, has very nearly com
pleted his work and will probably make
his report to the Mayor to-day or Monday.
His Honor il already pretty well advised as
TO what the examination has disclosed, as
the expert has seen him almost daily since
he begun the performance Of hls labor.
Mr.. Boudar has been indispOsed tor seye-
raj days or his report would probably have
been in hand by now. The examination
ha. been very tedious and laborlous one.
II is generally reported that as result
of Mr.. Boudar's work number OF addl-
tiOnal warrants will be issued rs soon as
his formal statement is made.
In many quarters it il held that the
Grvmes bond has already been forfeited
by his failure TO appear last Monday when
his case was called and for which time he
was bailed. Technically this may be so,
| but his non-appearance was by an agree
