~PAWNBROKERS TAKE RISK.
Have No Right to Pledged Articles
That Have Been stolen.

S~
Judge Blschoff. of the Court OF Com
mon Pleas, has Just handed down a de-
cision that Is of particular interest to
pawnbrokers. The suit grew out OF the
arrest some time g Of Minnie Gomez
at the instance Of Mordecai s. Kauff-
man. a Maiden lane Jeweller. who
charged her with stealing watches and
chains valued at 5000. She was In
dicted, and Is now on bail awaiting
trial. The stolen articles were recovered
from the pawnbrokers who had accepted
them as pledges, and they were sent
to the Property Clerk at Police Head
quarters.
Kaufman. through his counsel. Messrs.
Alfred and Charles Steckler, brought suit
In the Common Pleas Court to recover
the articles from the Property Clerk and
succeeded. Therelron the pawnbrokers
applied to have themselves substituted
as defendants instead OF the Property
Clerk. 30 as to reopen the suit by which
the articles had been returned to Kauff-
man. They claimed that having loaned
several thousand dollars upon them
they had a right to their possession.
Fx-Judge Alfred Steckler opposed the
application, and he has been sustained
by Judge Bischoff.

Robbery by Jail officials.

publishes a series of charges preferred
by DIR. Henry J. Taft, an ~ex-convict, who
alleges that during his confinement in
the Kings County Penitentiary murder,
attempted murder and robbery were
committed by the employees of hat in
stitution.
The charges are to be filed with the
Acknowledgement of the State.
DIR. Taft is quoted AS saying that
a convict named Robert Nesia was
poisoned by arsenic and then robbed by
an employee of the Penitentiary during
1893. Another convict named Nell, he
says. was also poisoned.
A convict named Donnolly and several
others died, he alleges, from want of
medical care.

foundation for them.

with three other entries In the Brook
dale Handicap declined the issue to-day
and Don Alonzo, Roller. Lowlander and
Ed Kearney were the only starters.
The race was then simply a Cake
walk for Don Alonzo. Ed Kearney
started out to make the running, hut
bolted at the half and the others moved
up. Don Alonzo won by fve lengths.
Roller was second, eight lengths before
Lowiander.
The weather was cloudy and not
very pleasant. A raw wind blew from
the ocean. and kept every one but the
losers chilled with cold. The losers are
always hot.
The track had dried as near perfection
as It could possibly be, and some fast
races were run over II during the after
noon.

few days ago. the talent could not see
anything In the first race but him, and
subsequent events proved they had their
glasses on straight. Rubicon went to
the post a YARN favorite.
He got of In the tail OF the bunch and
on the outside. Griffin. however. rushed
him to the front, and taking the rail
kept 1t throughout. Rubicon was tired
at the finish and lasted just long enough
to win.
La Misere was second to the last few
jumps. when Penn had to give way to
the superior riding ability OF Sims, who
just landed Armitage second by a neck.
Galloping King. the outsider in the
second race, kept every one guessing for
seven furlongs. He was in front, run

did seem as though the others would
never catch him.

The details for the surrender, 1t is be-
lieved, were arranged by Bob Suther-
land, the fugitive's brother.

A rumor was current this morning
that Sutherland had returned to the city
from Canada yesterday. and that he had
spent the night in jail. Sheriff Buttling.
however, denied the story, but admitted
tina he had been notified that Suther-
and would appear to-day.
In anticipation Of the expected return.
Sheriff Buttling went to his office
at 8 O'Clock this morning. After sitting
around the office for nearly an hour he
sauntered outside in front of the Court
House. He had only been there a few
| minutes when he heard a familiar voice
gay: .
Hello, Sheriff; I thought I would
come in and visit you.'
Buttling looked at the speaker, and
recognized Sutherland. He invited him
Into the building, and then sent a mes
sage to Deputy Attorney-General Ed
ward NJ. Shepard apprisinG him OF the
fugutive's arrival.
Sutherland was looking extremely
well, and told Sheriff Buttling thai he
had gained fifteen pounds during his
" months' trip.
He had shaved off his mustache. and
the absence of this adornment, together
with his natty clothes. gave him some
thing Of the appearance of a prosperous
bruiser, TO say nothing OF ~portending
what might occur to him later should
he be sent up the river to join his old
chief, McKane.
Sutherland told the Sheriff that he
had just arrives in town.

Ferry" he said. and didn't meet a SOU
that 1 knew"
Sutherland chatted with the Sherin In
the l~atter's private office. but did not
touch upon his own case. He seemed
very cheerful.
Few Knew Of Fugitive's Surrender
The news that he had returned was
carefully guarded. and did not leak out
until nearly 10 o'clock, when prepare
lions were made to arraign him In court
A few minutes after that hour Sherin
Buttling, clutching Sutherland's arm,
marched him upstairs and into the SUI
preme Court, where Justice Gaynor wa
Mr.. shepard had arrived and wa,
