Wright had warrant issued in York
Vile Court yesterday for Mrs. Skiff s
arrest. Justice Meade, who granted the
warrant. gave it to Court officer Harti-
gan to execute. No one but the Judge.
Wright and Hartigan knew II had been
issued. When Hartigan called at the
house this morning he was surprised to
hear Mrs. Skin say:

to. heard there was warrant out for
Hartigan brought her to court and

an adavit to the effect that he. while
accompanied by woman. hired room
at Mrs, Skiff's house. on Aus. I, After
telling her that he knew her when she
kept a house in East Twentieth street,
he says she then said
II must be cautious. as I have been
ordered to close and get out by the Cap
tain"
As she was being led downstairs to
the prison, her bondsman not being then
present, Mrs. Skin said to Court officer
ftHTtlgAn.
What a fool was not to have gone
away when Wright told me last night
about the warrant"
On being question. she said that
Wright sent her three notes by mes

Hartigan at once informed Justice
Mcmahon what the woman said. and
Mrs. Skin was recalled To court Wright
could not be found in the neighborhood.
Mrs Skin told her story to the mag
istrate. but as she did not give Wright
any money. the Judge was unable to
issue n warrant for Wright's arrest. as
there is no law prohibiting anyone but
court officials from giving information
regarding warrants.
Justice Mcmahon at once sent for
Capt. Gallagher however, and the latter
at once took charge of Wright's case.
Mrs. Skiff was subsequently released
on bail furnished by Robert De Witt,
OF All East Twenty-fourth street, who
represented himself as a real estate
broker. 1t is said he Is an employee of
