Nellie Farrell and Her Escort
Found Drunk on Stoop,
Publisher Crandall Says He Was
Robbed OF Diamond.

Detective sergeants from Police Head
quarters and Special Officers Lang and
Campbell, of the East Fifty-nrst street
station, went to Yorkville Court this
morning and took look at Nellie Far
rell, good-looking young woman, TWEEN
ty-five years old. who was charged with
stealing diamond ring by John Gran
dali. He says he is publisher with an
office In the Bennett Building, and that
he resides in Brooklyn.
Nellie was not recognized by the po-
licemen. She and Crandall were found
unconscious from drink shortly before IL

vacant house At 1902 East Forty-fourth
street by Policeman Dickey, of the East
Fltty.hrst street station.
Nellie and Crandall both said they

Crandall suddenly exclaimed:

my Slio diamond ring and about so in
He then turned to Nellie and said:
1t must either have been you or
your companion that stole it."
Nellie was too drunk to reply, and
both were kept at the station-house for
the night. Crandall said he arrived in
town at 1910 o'clock last night on the
Albany limited express, and in leaving

by Nellie and another girl, who has as
yet not been arrested.
The police are unable to get her, as
Nellie would not disclose her name.
The girls invited Crandall to take a
walk with them, and when he declined,
he said. they persuaded him to go into
a saloon at Forty-fourth street and
Firth avenue and buy them a drink.
He treated them to four rounds of
whiskey. He acknowledged having
taken three WHISTLES himself. and said
that his fourth drink was a plain self
ger. In paying for the drinks he had a
$50 bill changed. They then walked out
of the saloon togetheC but had not

stoop of the house, where he and Nell

Nellie said that the liquor affected her
in the same way, and when Crandall
sank down on the stoop she dropped
alongside of him. She said she does not
know what became of her companion.
Justice Mcmahon decided to adjourn the
hearing until tomorrow, and committed
both Nellie and Crandall to prison in
default of 81, 900 each.

every inch a gentleman and a soldier.
Gen. Price sent in a white flag and de-
manded the unconditional surrender of

of the garrison of this, fort is not TO

The attacking force on arriving within

that the assault should be renewed, and

morning In the five-story double tene-

flames were discovered before the lives
of the members of the twenty families

The fire was In the cellar, and the

more than 500 damage had been done.
