de Furnishes lnem Material IN the White
ford Case for Another Attack.
The judges of the District supreme court
will hold a conference to-day to determine
upon coming assignments. 1t is altogether
probable that they will at the same time con-
slider the case of Warden Leonard and his
management of the Jail. 1t has been brought
very sharply to their attention by the case of
William Whiteford.
Jud &c Cole had some pertinent questions to
ask when officer Pierce, of the Jail, brought
Whiteford in for continuation of the trial yes
terday. His inquiry as to who were present
when the order for nolle prosequi was en-
tered developed the fact that neither the war
den, deputy warden, nor clerk was there The
order was received by Pierce, who handed it
TO Mitchell, the rotunda guard. and he in
turn to Peacock. the guard in the aisle and
he released Whteford. AS Whiteford came
through the office he had a talk with Pierce.
and left asking what cars to take to get down
town.
Pierce admitted upon further questioning
that it was on record in the book at his home
that Whiteford was committed by order of
Judge Cole subject to his order.
The enemies of Warden Leonard are very
active. They point out that there have been
since May last three escapes, two discharges
such as Whiteford's, bungling hanging, one
prisoner killed in a scuffie, and two cuttings,
one of which was Investigated, the other not
officially noted.

SENATOR HILLS VIEWS.

Senator Hill, the Democratic
candidate for Governor Of New
York. addressed an immense audi
ence In Brooklyn last Tuesday,
from which We extract the follow
ing:
The Mckinley bill gave us free
sugar with y string tied to it. Tie
new bill is in the main for the con-
sumers Of the land. It is not all that
might be expected, but it is long
step toward the right one."
Senator Hill dlsclaimed for the
Democratic party responsibility for
the panic aud hard times. Hard
times could be traced to two
sOurces-the Sherman silver bill.
which the Democrats repealed, and
the Mckinley bill.
"ihey said that We wrecked the
ship, he said. ''NO: the Republic
cans scuttled it. They bored holes
IN the treasury and left the ship
depleted. and then .said: just
