SENATOR DAILY QUOTES LAW

Mrs. Mathiide berfeHlan, the LehoW
witness who created such a furore about
Police Headquarters yesterday, was
about rig and early this morning.
She was permitted to leave her cell down
stairs in the City Prison, and occupy the
Detectives room across the hall from
Chief Murphy's private Office. The fact
that late last night she plunged her
hand into the recesses of her stocking
and turned over a roll of bills amount
ing to S, $3.50 to the care of the police
had a tendency to make the police and
lawyers interested inthe case dance at
tendance upon her with more polteness
than was noticeable yesterday.
Senator Daily was on hand shortly
after eight o'clock to look after the in
terest of his client.
He was closeted with her for more
han an hour. and when interviewed by
a News" reporter, said:-"This woman
does not want to go to New York, and
the statement tina she came East volun-
tarily is untrue. Mr.. Golf, Mr.. Moss and
his associates are making a great big
bluff in this matter with the hope OF
frightening this woman into going to
New York. h won't go unless she

it. This whole affair in New York has
simmered down to politics. and, in my
opinion, it is high time it was stopped.
GOFF REBUKED.
Mr.. Golf may call en- Mayor Wanser
and everyone else to compel the courts
to send this woman to New York. To
begin with, Mayor Wanser has nothing
whatever to do with the case. Another
- i'm Vnrr0T fh fact that has 6CGaDe0
the notice of the New York prosecutors
is that there is a law in New Jersey pro-
Niding for just such cases as this. CHAP
ter 50 of the laws of 1889, in part, says
That it shall be unlawful to take or
cause or procure to be taken or to aid
or abet in taking any person or persons
from out of this State, whether with or
without the consent of such person or
persons, for the purpose of answering
any criminal charge that may have been
preferred against such person or persons
In any other State except upon he war
rant or mandat of the Governor of this
State
Amy person violating that law Is guilty
of a m-isdemeanor and subject to a hne
of not less than $500, or more than $1,000,
or Imprisonment for not less than four
months or more than two years or both,"
continued the Senator. If the woman
desires it I will make an application to
Judge Lippincott for a writ of habeas
corpus this afternoon. My point of g
ment will be that this woman was in
V2f&ied mere uIfQ0F the pTOIllSG u I'LL
munfty. Under the law it is impossible
TO secure ~extradition papers unless the
application is made in good faith, and
! maintain where immunity is promised
there cannot be good faith. Perjury is
charged, but we ave nothing before us
to show when, where or how the alleged
perjury was committed"
Counsellor William r. Barricklo, who
has been retained by the Lexow Commit
tee to protect its interests, also had an
interview with the prisoner, and to a
News reporter he said that she was
perfectly willing to go to New York and
testify before the committee. She re-
fused to impart any further informa-
ton as to o she had paid protection
DIRK THROWN OUT.
At eleven O'Clock, Gustav Dirk, the 60
between who has been lettering about
Police Headquarters ever since Mrs.
Herreman's arrest was unceremonious-
ly fired out last night, Chief Murphy de-
claring that he would not permit him
to be hob-nobbing with the prisoner.
Dirk was on hand again this morning,
and at the prisoners request went to
Hoboken to see her husband to request
him to come and see her. Mr.. Here
man is said to be suffering from a
broken leg but it is expected that he
will see her.
Mrs. Herreman was interviewed by a
News" reporter this morning. She
Said:-"I will go to New York. law or no
law, if my husband advises me to do so.
I will be guided entirely by him. If he
says 60, I will, and I will tell all I know
I dislike this notoriety and want this
trouble over with"
Chief Murphy takes exception to the
severe criticism of the local police de-
partment. He declares. that there was
no exhibition of brutality at the depot
and that Policeman Boyle did just what
he should have done.
"If he had not intercepted that WON.
am said the Chief, "he would have
been liable under the law to expulsion
from nlIr da1a fmRDt
At two o'clock this afternoon Mrs.
Harremann was taken to the County
Jail, and a few minutes afterward Sen
ator Daily appeared before Judge Lip
pincott prepared to make application foI
a writ of habeas corpus. Judge Lippin-
colt, however, was engaged on a case,
and said he could not hear the applica-
ton. He suggested that Judge Hudspeth
be applied to. but Mr.. Daily said he
would much prefer to have Justice Lip
pincott consider the case. Judge Lippin-
colt said he would hear Mr.. DAILY at his
earliest convenience.
