The Rev. Dr. Charles II. Parkhurst last night
Grad another bombshell into the camp of those
whom he considers his opponents in the work
y, moral reform. Tired and sick of the delays
.rd obstacles thrown before him in his efforts TO
-. h,s evidence Of corruption before the
traordinary Grand Jury, DR.. Parkhurst last night
,ssued highly interesting statement, embodying
the whole story of his many official interviews
with Mr. NicoI Although the Grand Jury has
adjourned until Wednesday with the avowed OBJ
iect of giving him extension of time DR..
psrkhurst and his associates have not yet de-
c,ded to take advantage Of the opportunity.
