The New York officials who are
now asking why the grand jury did
not bring in individual indictments,
instead Of a general Indictment cover
ing the entire municipal government,
are the same fellows who asked the
same question when DIR. Parkhurst
preached his first sermon against the
official crookedness OF that city DIR.
Parkhurst answered them by citing
two and nor individual cases, and
offering to produce the evidence to
convict; another grand Jury may re-
turn a similar answer.

letter in todays issue by A. b. Hawkins,
allow me to say that this gentleman
wllfully and knowingly misrcprcscnts
facts that arc known to many others be-
sides myself.
There was a colorcd watchman on
duty and he had passed the elevator on
the first floor not more than fifteen min
utcs before the alarm of fire was given.
The man had not gone asleep on a cot,
and in fact he had carried waterto room
% only few minutes before the alarm
of fire was given. In doing so he had to
pass to pass the elevator twice. Mr..
Hawkins tells a deliberate ialsehood and
proves it by his own statement when he
says that his suspicion of fire was
aroused when | removed my
wife from her room, because
he states atterward that as he
went out he saw me endeavor to put out
the fire. The truth, however. is, that was
awakened by a noise in the hall, and not

In the mean while one of them jumped
off and the others were helped down
before the ladder arrived.
My next duty felt to be the preven:;
tion ofc1plosion from the gasoline tank,
and went to the proper place, incurr-
ing no small risk, and closed the valves.
BY this time there was not a person
lett in the building and only then did
60 to my family to see to their needs.
The removal of provisions and wines
was superintended by the steward, but
nothing of my property was saved, nor
was there an endeavor to save it on
the part of myself or my servants until
every person had left the building. That
the means for escape were ample, is fully
attested by the fact that every one got
out, and no one in the house needed to
jump or incur any risk in their endeavor
to save themselves.

Justify my course during the fire and

given by the head waiter who slept in
