John Y. McKane was still dazed yesterday
over the stunning sentence he received on
Monday. and. although somewhat encouraged
By the Temporary suspension OF judgment
granted by Justice Cullen, he seems TO have
made ND his mind that his fate Is virtually
sealed and that in a week or so the doors OF
Sing Sing prison will close behind him. jus
tice Culen's order acts as stay until the ar
Cument on Friday on the motion to show cause
why a certificate OF doubt should not be
granted.
The hearing is likely to occupy the entire
day. and some Of the lawyers think that the
decision may not be rendered before Monday
or Tuesday. II it IL favorable. measures will
be taken at once to secure McKane's release
on bail; II u lie otherwise. application probably
will be made to some other Supreme Court
Justice. Counsel for McKane are said to have
two or three justices In view. but refuse to
indicate who they are.

with the Imprisoned Grsvesend chief on Mon
day. after sentence had been imposed. and af-
terward carefully went over the points which

stay.
1t is thought that Col. James will make the
princlp pal argument before Justice Cullen on
Friday. Ex-JudRe Troy yesterday denied the
alter controversy with Mir. Roderick. He was
still at work, he said. in behalf Of McKene.
