But the Accused Edward Man
Is Keeping Invisible.

Talk to Prosecutor WelIman.
4 Truce Arranged Between the
Various Counsel.

w latest III ''' i'N'S''-
cation OF police matters by Francis j..
Wellrian, counsel to the Police Board, Is
the effort which has been made to Sc
cure an Indictment against eX-Policc-
man James Kelly, formerly of the Leon
ard street station. who used TO collect
the sidewalk rentals from produce deal
err ind other merchants on the west
side.
This was thu secret OF all the mystic
rious activity shown by MIR Wcllmar
and Assistant District Attorney Mcln'
tyre In the neighborhocd of the Grand
Jury room yesterday.
Both Mr.. Wellman and Mr.. Mcintyre
said this morning that no indictment hae
yet been presented against Kelly. al
though they admitted that a warrant
has been issued for the arrest on evil
dence which makes out case OF bribery
against him.
Kelly had not been arrested this
morning, however, and there is good
rca son TO believe that ae is keeping
himself outside of the State. 1t is said
that Central ONCE detectives are hook
ns for him.
During the last week @: the sittinGs
OF the T.eXow Committee kelly's wife
was called as Il 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.
II is said, however, that Kelly suisse
quentiy returned to this city and was
seen In town last week. The proba bill
10 ha he u.ip of "a
plated proceedings against him and took
his departure again In a hurry.
II should know If Kelly had been ar
rested" said Mr.. Mcintyre this morn
ing. land ! have heard nothing about
him yet.
II do not know how this story about
the bringing of his case before the
Grand Jury got our. and 1t Is a great
pity that ii should have been published,
for II he is SUN in town 1t will give him
n chance to escape.
This is entirely 3 matter, for the
District ttorneys office, and Mr.. Well
Police Board had nothing TO do with Ii. >"
Are proceedings before the Grand
Jury contemplated against any other
II must decline TO say snything
whatever upon that point" replied MIR.
Mcintyre. Mr. Weilman was equally
retlcent on this subject, - ,
" Evening World" reporter this morning.
He was smiling blandly, and seemed III
the very best humor.
"T have come to q very satisfa Glory
understanding with Mr., Cot and Mr.:
Moss in regard to the examination OF
witnesses before the trials, ana expect
to have no further trouble with kick
ers.' In fact, the counsel for the LeIoW
Committee have volunteered to co-oper-
ate with me in every way TO secure JUS
tice, and the cases will De made UP nov
in n few days against those officials VINO
are to be prosecuted
several witnesses are here this morn
Ing whom | have not succeeded IN get
ting hold Of before. and ! don't think
that any one will refuse to talk when
he once comes here. There are pretty
powerful Influences behind this office"
Mr.. Wellman did not say how the
truce had been patched up With Mr..
h" had secured to-day. hut it Was subse-
Quently learned that BoN-Maker Patrick
Ryan was one OF his earliest callers this
morning, and that h. had volunteered n
THOMPSON ana Yard Man James Keliy.
Mr.. Wellman will not insist on seeing
Mrs. ThuroN again. Mr.. Moss has asked
that special exception he made in her
case. as she Is still under the subpoena
of the Senate Committee.
Police Commissioner Murray said this
morning that ne was glad some under
standing had been reached in tho mat
ter. and II VI was true that Mr.. Cor and
Mr., Wellman had come to an amiCable
agreement, there was little doubt that
tho police trials would be conducted In a
satisfactory manner.
II have always been determined" he
said, that the trials should be thor
ough, honest, vigorous. impartial, non
partisan ana conscientious.
II believe that enough evidence can
be produced to convict some OF the ac-
cused policemen, and | viii use every
EFFORT to secure all the evidence avail
able and every witness within reach"
Mr., Weilman was busy with RYAN and
other Witnesses in his prlvat" Office al
the morning Mr.. MCINTYRE denied thai
