rated. that he was in this city with q

Without any interference on the part
OF the conductor or, motorman. he tied
the sleeping Nogt. hand and foot, and
then proceeded to remove the mans
clothing.
After vogt had ben Invested OF the
greater, part Of his clothes the compan-
ion took his lighted cigar and began TO
burn holes in the mans face and the
most tender parts of his body.
The. sight of the burning flesh was
considered as sport by the motorman
and conductor. and while Eogt writhed
and cried out with pain his tormentors
laughed. At last Noght struggled so
hard to free himself that he had to be

he bit the conductor.
The car was stopped at the car-house
on the meadows. and Nogt, who mac

unconscious and covered with blood in
front of Isl Leroy street. at 23o o'clock
this morning. He called an ambulance
from st. vincent's Hospital and re-
moved Rafferty, to that institution. The
hospital doctors recorded Rafferty's In
juries as a bad fracture of the base of
the skull cash two inches long over
the left eye. which was also closed as
IL from a violent blow. He was also
greatly exhausted from a loss OF blood.
Ills condition was considered so seri-

Late this morning the hospital doctors
said he was little better and gradually
becoming conscious. They refused TO
allow him to be questioned.

TO IMD|cT 4 MILLIONAIRE.
Miles Must Answer Charges of
Forgery and Perjury.
Accused by . Nephew Who Claims
His Mother Was Robbed.

Millionaire William Niles, who Is eigh-
ty-three years old. and who has been
President of St David's Society, direc-
tor in the Hamilton Insurance Company
and the Nassau BanX; Pfesiden; OF the
o.d Skip my Savings Bank. and trus-
tee Of the cypress Hills Cemetery. is to
be indicted. it Is reported. on charges Of
forgery and perjury.
The charges are made 10y William 5.
Hurley. nephew of Mir. Miles, who claims
that the latter robbed mis- own sister
Hurley's mother. of the immensely val
liable property left by her deceased hus-
band, Samuel Hurley, who had been
partner OF Miles in the tannery and real
estate businesses.
After Samuel Hurley's death in 1863,
Miles and his brother Jacob. who had
also been a partner. produced a VIII
wherein they were named as execu-
tors. Under this will the, widow was
allowed Sl3,cp. which, the executors
said, was all the property that mad been
left, business reverses having. IL is al
legged, greatly reduced Huriey's prop
erty.
Some years ago John kerwin. mer-
chant, sought to purchase from William
Miles a piece of properly fronting on
the river in Williamsburg. He found
however, that the tenants had not been
paying rent for long time, and on
asking Miles about 1t. was told that the
properly really belonged to poor rela-
tive called Hurley, and that, therefore,
Miles would only have power to lease and
not sell II to kerwin.
Mr.. kerwin numbered among his
friends William S. Hurley. and, accord
ingly, he asked him whether he knew
who the poor relative Hurley" might
be.
Hurley started out to investigate, and
made. he claims, the startling discov;
about $4,000 Of his partner, Hurley,5,
estate. Suit was thereupon begun in the
Supreme Court before Justice Barrett
for the recovery of this amount and
such other and further amounts as
might be discovered during the suit to
have been Incorporated.
During the trial Miles produced con-
tract purporting TO have been made by
Samuel Hurley before the latter.s death,
transferring. in consideration OF $1,000.
all his property to William and Jacob
Miles.
This contract the plaintiff, Hurley. Sc
cured and claimed to be a forgery. In
this view he was upheld by several
handwriting experts: The Will, too, was
conclusion of the trial. however ii was
agreed that the Hurleys should accept
500. 900 in full settlement. and the SUIT
was discontinued.
Yesterday Mr. David n. Carvalho. the
ha ndwriting expert spent all day IN
and about the Grand Jury room, and the
indictment which was found against
Miles was principally based upon ex-
pert testimony.
1t Is now assumed that the criminal
proceeding was instituted because, pre-
sumably. Miles had failed to fulfil the
agreement fixed upon in court.
Mr.. Miles formerly resided at 22e
Henry street. Afterwards he lived in
Plainfield. n. j.. but where he Is at
present is not definitely known. He is
supposed to be in Martha's Vineyard.
whence he was not expected to return
home before September.

SAID TO BE AN INCENDIARY
Muliigan Left the Cellar Just Be
fore Fire Was Discovered.


Thomas Mulligan, Jr., aged twenty
three. of 81 Seventh avenue, a five
story tenement-house, was held by
Justice Hogan this morning in Jeffer-
son Market Court in 1900 bail for ex-
animation next Wednesday morning at
10 o'clock, on a charge of arson.
Mrs. Josephine Friedman, who keeps
a dry-goods store on the ground floor
OF the same house. where young Multi
gan lives with his parents, says that
she saw him last Thursday evening 20
down into the cellar and presently
leave 1t and the house in a
stealthy manner. No sooner had he
gone, says Mrs. Friedman. than she
smelled smoke, and, running down into
the cellar, she discovered some paper
blazing beside lot of dry-goods cases.
She easily extinguished the flames.
Mrs. Friedman says that her intention
had been called to Mulligan's actions by
a row which had broken out between
him and his parents in the latter's apart
ments shortly before she saw him enter
the cellar.
Acting Fire Marshal Wilson believes
that the young man Is guilty OF the
sceptical of the rebutting statements
Of a Mr.. Morris, who has tin shop in
the same house in that part of the cellar
which is opposite to where the blaze was
discovered.
Morris says that before the FIRE broke
out the Friedmans were in the cellar
with a lighted candle for nearly two
hours chopping wood. and that young
Mnlligan was not near the place at all

claiming that he has discovered him Ia
be, a drunkard and a shiftless. idle, quar-
relsome fellow.
