From this it will be seen that the
majority OF the officials live outside Of
this state. Coroner Levy does not an
ticipate that he will have any trouble
in securing their attendance in this
city. They will probably come
on here readily, for they would
have nothing to- gain by resisting the
coroner. Should they not come, resort
will be had to extraition proceedings.
Coroner Levy anticipates having no
trouble with Governor Bulkley, of Con-
necticut. AS fast as the arrests are
made bail will be taken and the officers
allowed to depart. The district attor-
ney's office was notified of the coroner's
action. The coroner's duty will cease
with the making Of the last arrest and
the cases will then come before the
grand jury. Inspector Byrnes has been
given the warrants to execute
The jurors who sat lin the case were
said to represent s5O,0OO,OOO well, the
persons arrested and to be arrested on
their finding are said to represent $780,
100000. The deathssof Helen T., Sup
pie and others will have rather
unique place in the history of
local casualties even if moth
ing else comes of it. Whether
| anything else is to come of it de-
pends next upon the action of the
grand jury. To await that action each
of the fourteen persons on the coroner's
black list must furnish bail in the sum
of $4,000 Homicide is the crime
which is charged against them on the
strength of the jury's verdict.
Chauncey NJ. Depew appeared at the
coroner's Office at 4:2O Friday afternoon
and furnished bond Of $a5, 900 for his
appearance in the future. Mr.. Depew

curity the building West Fifty-sev:
enth street. Nlessrs Depew and Van
derbilt's stay in the office of the cor
oners was of brief duration, Frank
Loomis, attorney Of the New York Cen
trail, having preceded them a half-houl
| and seen to the preparation of the bond.
President Clark of the New Haven
railroad and Director Park also sur
rendered themselves and gave bonds in
the same amount Mr.. Clark informed
the coroner that all the directors and Of.
dcers of ttie road would come to the

The coroner said this would not do
that the only exceptions he would make
