THE MISSING MEN.
They Failed TO Appear in Court for SENTENCE
Other Policy Cases.

Ex-Detective John Sutherland and ex- Police
man Daniel j. Grealey have disappeared, but
not under the mysterious circumstances which
usually surround the disappearance Of citizens.
The parties to this affair had a reason
Tor Weaving this jurisdiction, as IL
was the only way that they could
possibly keep out Of Jail, and for that reason
they skipped. As Is well known 70 the readers
OF The STAR these two e1-members Of the
police force were detailed to suppress the
poncy writing in this city and In
stead OF doing their duty according
to the verdict Of jury they promoted the
game by lei ding their assistance to the back
ers and writer's, for which they were remu-
nersted.
Their counsel last saw them Wednesday after
noon, but they said nothing about their COM
templatsd trip. When they left i. was with the
understanding that they would return yester-
day at O'Clock, but instead Of their
returning their bondsman, Mr.. Craig
in the sum Of FL 900 for the Appearance of the
men he was deeply interested In their appre-
hension.
COULD NOT BE POUND.
The attachment issued from the Police Court
yesterday. at the suggestion Of Prosecuting At
torney Mullowney, published in yesterdays
STAR, was sent to the Georgetown police station
and an officer was sent to the house. but only to
learn that both men had been gone long enough
to have reached Chicago or some other western
city.
These facts were reported to the prosecuting
attorney, who was powerless to take any action
In the matter last evening. The bondsmsn,
however, anxious to insure himself against loss,
made known his intention of securing bail
piece on which he could cause their arrest
wherever they may be found
Irs- sutherland had sent for Mr.. Craig
earlier In the day and told him Of her husbands
conduct She did not know where he had gone,
but she intended to pay the forfeited bond as
soon a. she became able.
GOODBYE TO MRS. SUTHERLAND.
Grealey is a married man. but has not been
living with his wife recently. He boarded at
the house of Mr.. Sutherland, and Wednesday
night Mrs. Sutherland went out to see a sick
friend leaving her husband and Grealey play
ing game Of cards.
If you don't see again, hello was the
remark made by Grealey she left the house,
but she paid no attention to it. Later on
when she returned home she discovered TO her
surprise that there some meaning
TO the remark. The house was vacant SO far
a. human beings were concerned, and the men
had taken supply OF clothing with them.
Mrs. Sutherland is a young woman and the
affair has terribly distressed her, although she
still believes that her husbands conviction was
the result Of a conspiracy.
Today being the last day in which counsel
could file any motion in the case the defendants
would have been sentenced had they appeared
Their counsel was on hand. were other per-
sons interested in the case, but the failure of
the principals to appear rendered action on the
part of the court impossible.
The bond vas not forfeited today, Mr..
Cahill suggested that the apprehension of the
defendants was POSSIBLE and he thought no
harm would be done by delay Of a couple Of
days.
AN INDICTMENT PROBABLE.
While bail piece would probably reach the
defendants anywhere in the United States 1t is
doubtful 10 the operation of a Police
Court attachment. For that reason IL il
probable that the district attorney
will procure Indictment against
the fugitives charging violation of the law re-
lsting TO bribery and then secure a bench war
rant for their arrest, which may be used in any
jurisdiction where they may be found

and not to Horbach. That was before the raid
on Eorbach, but has been writing ever since
