t00kING FOR KELLY.
But the Accused Edward Man
Is Keeping Invisible,
Lexow Witness Ryan Concludes to
Talk to Prosecutor WeIlman.
A Truce Arranged Between the
Various Counsel.

The latest development in the investi-
CATION Of police matters by Francis l..
Wellman. counsel to the Police Board Is
the effort which has been made TO Sc
cure an Indictment against ex-Police-
man James Kelly. formerly Of the Leon
ard street station. who used to collect
the sidewalk rentals from produce deal
ers and other merchants on the west
| side.
This was the secret OF all the mystic
rious activity shown by Mr.. Wellman
and Assistant District-Attorney Mc1n-
tyre in the neighborhood Of the Grand
Jury room yesterday.
Both Mr.. Wellman and Mr.. Mcintyre
said this morning that no indictment has
yet been presented against Kelly. al
| though they admitted that a warrant
has been issued for the arrest on evil
dence which makes out a case of bribery
against him.
| Kelly had not been arrested this
morning, however, and there Is good
reason to believe that he is keeping
himself outside of the State. 1t is said
that Central Once detectives are look
ing for him.
During the last week OF the sittings
OF the LeXow Committee kelly's wife
was called as a witness, and she testi-
fed that her husband had left town
three weeks previously, and that she had
no idea where he had gone, or where he
was staying. at that time.
1t is said, however, that Kelly subse-
| quently returned to this city and was
seen in town last week. The probable
| ity Is that he got wind of the contem-
plated proceedings against him and took
his departure again in hurry;
