When the farce was closed ut the JEFF

other cases pending. and by personal
canvass Of tie grand jury, which had
been packed for a purpose best known to
the leaders of Tammany Hall, my i'll
.lictment was secured in the briefest i'm
tgipative time.
It was only when this so called in
dict-nc.t reached the hands of the dis
trict attorney that the farce was
stopped. The individuals who were
conducting the dirty piece of bushes:
knew from the beginning that every
word uttered was true. Their only
hope was to intimidate any preacher
from in the future denounciig theil
rascality, and to do this work of intimi
dation they had absolutely at theil
command the whole machinery of the
lower courts up to the court of genera
sessions, and if they had had single
leg on which to stand and make a fight
they would have been at no loss to com
mand this court of highest honor.

something appalling. Young men ar'
led TO believe that the way to success il
the way of rascality; that the road t,
prefefment and power in the city's af

slums. Hundreds and thousands of ou
best young men have been led into Tam

into similar institutions in other cite
thus through their ambition for powe
and preferment 1t is impossible t
estimate the influence for evil that sue
