M'KANES LIEUTENANT
Justice Sutherland, of Gravesend
NotOriety, Placed on Trial.
The Ex-King of COney Island Not Sent
to Sing Sing Yesterday as Expected
Needed as q Witness.

BROOKLYN, n. Y, Feb. 27.--John Y.
McKane is still languishing behind the bars
Of the city jail. 1t was expected that he
would be taken to Sing Sing prison to-day,
but Justice Cullen early in the day signed
an order directing the sheriff to hold the
Gravesend eX-boss in the Jail until he
should be called to testify in behalf of his
henchman, Justice Sutherland. Sutherland
is on trial for ordering the illegal arrest
and detention of the copyists and watchers
sent to Gravesend by Justice Gaynor dur
ing the election troubles at that place
The defendant appeared in court accom-
panied by his counsel, Foster l.. Backus.
At that time the chairs of the court room
were about half filled with his Coney
island sympathizers. The comparative lack
of interest on the part of the outside pub
lie who would, it was expected, crowd the
place. was in marked contrast to the
jammed court room during McKanes trial.
Later in the day, however, the court filled
up until every place was taken. Albert
+. Lamb, of special prosecution counsel,
told the jury what Sutherland had done
which called for his punishment. He de-
scribed how the representatives OF Mr.. III.
Gaynor had gone to GraVesend with per-
fectly legitimate mission to perform; how
they had been met at GraVeSend by the
defendants; how the latter had encouraged
how he had then caused their arrest upon
false charges Of being drunk and disor-
derly, and how he had next committed
them to jail by an instrument which, on
its face, made their committal perpetual.
In describing the outrage Colonel Lamb
frequently to Justice Sutherland, who sat
right behind him The defendant seldom
looked away from the Colonel, but sat with
his eyes fixed upon him. with deep scowl
his face, varied occasionally by very
perceptible sneer.
John L. Voorohees, the town clerk Of
Gravesend, who, in spite of himself. did
good deal to convict Chief Mckane. was
called as the first witness. lie told how
Sutherland had served three years as a
justice Of the peace by appointment. and

The colonel Was afflicted with n very

questions put to him by the reporter. very
courteously and considerably. The first
query was:
"shsll you be q candidate for congress

And Colonel Winston said:

step toward interfering with the action OF

are concerned. I have made some aug

depends, very largely, the future Of the

The second question asked by the re-
porter was:
"Well, and how about the United
States senate?"
The colonel hesitated, and then re-
piled:
"The U. S. senate? As to the U. S.
senate-I have never given the subject
any thought, except in O general way,
such as would naturally do IL the peo-
pie Of Washington, through their legisla-
ture, should elect me senator. l would,
