District Attorney NicoH conferred with Judge
Rorrott I'm the morning about the amount Of
bail to be required The Judge decided that
200 would be the proper figure in cases or
felony and $1,000 In misdcmcanors. In some
special instances the sums were To he larger
The indictments which numbered sixty in ALL
were for various violations Of the Penal code.
only the tools of the real cCnFpirators against
the suffrage were indicted The leaders who
were really responsible primarily for the whole
ealc frauds ESCAPED scot free. Absolute proof
Of the guilt Of at least one Of them was adduced
wAENINGs HAD BEEN Sent OFT.
The reason why more arrests were not made
was. according to John W. Con. that some OF
the accused men had received warning Of their
indictments Mr.. Gon who, with Wheeler
H. Peckham. Alfred II. Conkiing and other
lawyers Of the Committee of Fifty prepared
the evidence and presented 1t to the Grand
Jury. learned that within two hours after the
indictments were handed in one Of the men
whose arrest was demanded had ned from the
city Others who may surrender themselves
later probably kept out of the way. 80 as 70
remain at liberty during the holidays.
Mr. Gon and Mr.. Conkling called on District
Attorney Nicoll yesterday morning in relation to
the cases but would not say what the exact
subject Of the interview Mr.. Goff, how
ever said: Proof was presented Of frauds In
all parts Of the city. In many polling places
no oaths of office were administered. When
4 ocloc, came the Tammany captains told the
INSPECTORS 10 hold the polls open longer. Men
wore acnt 10 collect tramps who should vote IN
