Mayor Gilroy, Supt Byrnes and Capt
Schmittberger are angry and annoyed
at the latest turn of affairs In the Ham
merstein-Koster and Bal imbroglio.
Mr.. Hammerstein, with Lawyer Stein
hart, Of Howe & Hummers office, went
to Albany yesterday and asked At
torney General Hancock for permission
to apply for a receiver for the affairs
Of Roster, Bal & Co., to enforce an
accounting and dissolve the partner
ship.
Mr.. Hammerstein charged Roster and
Bial with mlsmanagement and with in
tention to defraud the petitioner, who is
Junior member of the firm. In the course
of his charges Mr.. Hammersten said that
there were entries on the books for sew
eral thousand dollars which the defend
ants had told him were expended for
municipal influence IN securing license
and subsequent police protection.
Roster and Bal make denial as
sweeping and emphatic as Mr.. Ham
merstein's charges.
He is liar and lunatic for saying
such things" said Mr.. Roster this morn
ing.
When Supt. Byrnes read the story
this morning, 1t Is said, that he at
once sent for Capt. Schmittberger.
Neither the Chief nor the Captain could
be found at his office this forenoon.
When approached on the subject,
Mayor Gilroy expressed great surprise
and annoyance.
Mr.. Hammerstein does not affect to
believe that the sums he declares to be
accredited to a bribery fund were ever
disbursed in that manner, but were
he says, appropriated by Messrs. Kos
ter and Bial for other uses, which they
seek to conceal.
Roster and Bial were notified or
