IS 1T CRIMINAL NEGLECT
The Coroner's stcnoErapher Said to
De Derelict In His Duties.

DC DeEetIct DutIcbs
There was a rumor afloat this after
noon about the District Attorneys ONCE.
to the effect that District-Attorney Fell
lows had threatened to move for the
indictment Of the Board Of Coroners.
The rumor was founded upon the re-
cent complaint made by Col. Fellows to
the Board of Coroners that their
stenographer, George Strasser. had
failed to turn over to the District-At-
torney's office the minutes Of proceed
lngs in six homicide cases.
Col Fellows was not In his ONCE this
forenoon when an Evening World" re-
porter called, but Assistant District-At-
torney Lindsay said that he believed
that there was good ground for the
rumor.
Il have not spoken to Col Fellows
about the matter as yet" he said, but
complaining very bitterly about this al
legged neglect
The Penal Code. section 77s. provides
that the Coroners shall forthwith trans
NIT to the District-Attorney's ofiice
transcripts of all proceedings in cases
Of homicide.
Failure to comply with this require
ment renders the Coroners liable to
punishment.
Mr.. Strasser. when seen by a reporter.
said that he had no knowledge Of any
complaint having been made against
him, but another attache Of the Coroner's
office admitted that there had been COM
plants.
1.-THE stenographer Is not to blame for
this" he added. THE facilities placed at
his command are altogether too limited"
Assistant District-Attorney Upger. who
Is Col. Fellows's private secretary, said
that he had also heard that steps would
be taken to bring the action. or rather
inaction. of the Coroners to the notice
OF the Grand Jury. He, too, had not
spoken to Col. Fellows about this.

HER DIAMOND RINGS STOLEN.
Mysterious Robbery at Mrs. Mac
Vaugh's Brooklyn Home.
Money and Other Articles Untouched
by the Thieves.

Mrs. william T. Macyaugh, Of 252 De
Kalb avenue, Brooklyn, was completely
mystified this morning over a daring
robbery of her valuable diamond rings.
When the robbery took place. or how II
happened. she is at a loss to imagine.
She is a member OF one of Brooklyn's
most select social circles. Her husband
is in the commission business in White
street, New York.
In telling of the loss Of her jewels to
an Evening World" reporter. Mrs.
MacVaugh said:
This is the most remarkable case OF
robbery 1 ever heard OF. There does not
seem to be the slightest foundation on
which to base a clue. As you see, the
house Is of brown-stone. The basement
windows are tightly barred. There are
but four means OF ingress unless
through the windows. namely, the two
basement doors, front and rear: the
main front door. and the scuttle-hole on
the roof.
Il returned from the country only last
week with my two children, a boy and
girl. Mr.. Macvaugh was at the house
nearly every day during the Summer

Il was only while he was here that
