The same crowd of Gravesenders that
daily watched The progress of the trial
of John Y. McKane and was present
when sentence was pronounced yester-
day upon the fallen chieftian. was on
hand In tho Brooklyn Court OF oyer and
Terminer this morning. Many henchmen
of the Chief were on the calendar to take
their turn at facing justice, end the fact
that sJustice william j. Gaynor, who.
more than any one else. was responsible
s, fer. McKane's overthrow. was on the
bench only added to the excitement.
Juatices Richard v. b. Newton. Ken
peth r. Sutherland, jacques Stryker
and william ]. Gladding. who. with
McKane, composed Gravesend's Town
Board, all of whom rave been in
dicted for felony. had hard work to
gain an entrance, 80 great was the
crush. They managed to push through,
however. and behind them came the
sixteen or 81 Gravesenders who are also
charged with violating the election avs.
A pin could be heard dropping In the
courtroom when Justice Gaynor raped
for order. Before counsel coul make
an argument of any kind. however. the
cases were sent elsewhere. Justice Gay
nor said that owing to his connection
with the cases he did not think It proper
that he should have anything to say
~ to their trial.
He was willing to hear ordinary simple
motions, but nothing further. He
thought the best course to adopt would
be to send them across the hallway TO
the Circuit Court. over which Justice
Cullen presided.

other into the Circuit Court. Business
there was brought to n stand-still, and
immediatelyon order being restored all the
indicted Gravesenders were called. When
McISnne did not respond to answer the
Indictment for felony with the other
members of the Town Board. Justice
Cullen explained the reason. The chief
was then in Raymond Street Jail In the
custody OF the Sheriff.
