LEES is HEARD.
The Grand Jurors Confer
With Him.
Several Indictments Will Probably
Be Made i'm Connection With
Straw Bail Bonds.

The Grand Jury yesterday did not take up
the cases against the sergeants and patrolmen
recently discharged from the Police Depart
ment for corruption
1t was rumored that such would be done in
order 10 punish The delDqIents with the penal
ties of the law by indictiDg them. which would
be more severe lesson than the taking away of
their stars, salaries end regulations by Deing
dismissed by the commissioners.
Captain Lees was the only member OF The Po-
lice Department high in authority who ap-
peared before the Grand Jury yesterday. Chief
Crowley was expected 10 have been present, but
was too Ill TO appear. Captain Lees was only d
short while in the Grand Jury rooms. He
talked TO the members very plainly, and is said
10 have gone over and explained 10 the jurors
the chief evidence which led 10 the overlh row
and discharge of Clerk Hall. Captain Lees sub
sequenty said that this evidence was not suffi-
cient TO secure a conviction. though II was posi-
lively convincing To any Intelligent man. Sui
there were so many legal technicalites that
would bar out certain evidence that there was
no chance for conviction.

less than eighty bonds Ing examined which
had been segregated and arranged by Expert
Atkinson. Detectives C00y and HandIey, who
have been at work on THESE cases, were also
examined al length. Police Judges Joachim

that they Will make this chief feature of their

PRESENTATION TO sCHEEL.
A Handsome Gold Medal From His
Orchestra

For the last time Herr ScheePs orchestra was
heard at the Vienna Prater yesterday evening.
The occasion had been marked by giving a
benefit to Herr Scheel. and the greatest enthu-
siasm prevailed though the attendance was NOT
so large as 1T some previous concerts, presum-
aOiy because there was not single novelty on
the programme.
Schuberrs unfinished symphony was heard
as recently as last Sunday. The second Hun

their excellent Interpretation 1t is possible 10

thlng new last night would have been grateful
and Comforting"
AT the conclusion of the first part OF the pro-
eramme, when the applause was at lts height,
Herr Ritter, tile first French horn player,
stepped I'D 10 Herr Scheel, and pinned hand
some gold medal upon his coat; II was gift
from the orchestra.
Then, as soon as silence was restored he
said, III the German language: II herewith

your great capacity and genius have not only
charmed your audiences. but have impaired a
We stand ready, one and all. TO support you
and aid you in any way we can. God bless

Herr Scheel, in lis speech of thanks for the
presentation, acknowledged very warmly the
valuable aid they had always given him.
adding: Il have tried 10 do my duty TO the peo-
pie and ;he goddess of our noble art. with all
the love ana devotion feel for II. thank both

not locate his man, and at the same time
Silverman's friends were looking for him
in the resorts that he favored. Neither
they nor the detective found him, and An
thony started out again in the morning. all
unc onscious of the fact that the man for
whom he was searching so faithfully was
lying dead in a Sutter-street hotel.
Silverman. after leaving the Palace, went
TO the Hotel Grosvenor. 319 Suffer street.
and engaged a room. TO which he immedi-
ately retired. He had been guest at the
hotel before and was known to the at
PENDANTS.
Early yesterday afternoon the bellboy
entered his apartment and found him lying
dead upon the floor. He was undressed and
had apparently been dead several hours.
The Coroner was notified and the remains
were removed to the Morgue.
The story of the way in which Silver
man had obtained money appeared in
yesterdays CALL, and when Silverman's
friends heard that he was dead they a once
suspected that he had committed suicide
An autopsy of the body was made by Dr.
f. II. Emerson, who found clot of blood
at the base Of the brain and concluded
that death had been caused by cerebral
apopleXy. The contents of the stomach
were not analysed and it is not known
whether Silverman had taken fatal
draught or not.
His father, one of the wealthiest trunk
manufacturers in Pennsylvania, was in
formed of the death.
Silverman was handsome and very ro-
bust man about SO years of age. He lived
fast life and borrowed money right and
left.
A few DAYS ago he met William Michel
son of the Grand Central stables on Ellis
street and made a very favorable i'm
preston on him. Silverman asked Michel
sons father for loan of 5000, saying that
he had plenty of money in the First Ma
tional Bank of Pittsburg. Mr.. Nicholson
Endorsed check for him for the amount
requested and he was given the money.
Mr.. Nicholson subsequently learned
that Silverman had no account at the
Pittsburg bank. He reported the matter
to the police, and warrant for the young
mans arrest was issued and given to De-
tective Anthony.
Nicholson was not the only one who
was victimized by Silverman. He had OBJ
tanned $500 from the keeper of a crap
game on Powell street by worthless checks
on the bank in Pittsburg.

High and low we searched the beach

I1eces OF wreckage, including scraps
OF the small boat that was kept on the

Mr.. Carlisle accompanied Mrs. Hazel
ton back to the city and verified her
story. He was interested. he says. with
Nj. O'Brien in mining venture. The
missing man was an old friend of his.
The firm of Lynde & Hough are said not
to have shown any interest IN the search
for the missing man. although MI. v Brien
was a bar of the institution ana not
an agent as has been reported.
The schooner Mary Brown left Sand

who had been going the pace that kills,
and had replenished his empty pockets by
obtaining money under false rretenses.
The detective received the warrantearly

toward serving it. He learned that Silver
man had been living at the Palace Hotel
since April s, and that he had several
friends and acquaintances there who, like
himself, had come from Pennsylvania.
Silverman was not at the hotel. He
had paid his bill and gone out to spend the
afternoon and evening with friends. The
