the Long Island Railroad, was arraigncd
before Justice Ingram this morning and
held In $500 bail upon a charge Of COL
lecting and selling tickets offered by
passengers for fares.
The complainant was Orville Dickin-
son. station agent at Arverne. He
charged Slater with selling him thirty
two tickets for t275. Dickinson claims
that Slater was the brakeman on run rs
on Monday. and sold the tickets after
the run was made. Slater lives on
Clay street. Greenpoint. When Slater
was arraigned for hearing this morning
Lawyer Thomas o. Kadien arose and,
shaking his fist at Lawyer Kelly. of the
Long Island Railroad Company, said:
IL there Is any duplicity in this
case. Station Agent Dickinson Is the
chief man guilty Of the crime. My

frequent occurrence. and foollshly

1T might be shown that Dickinson
sold the tickets over again, and now
he comes into court and makes an

the case. ! won't permit the Long

but the conductors are allowed to col

The brakemen collect the tickets. and
as they are not allowed to carry a punch
they turn the tickets collected over to

Grand Jury Will Hear the Charges
of Attempted Extortion.
Justice Tighe's Summary Disposal
OF the Case.
Would Not Hear Any Defense and
Fixed Bail at $500.

David Weinig, an Austrian tailor. who
was arrested a week ago, on complaint
of Jacob Klein, of "A Johnson avenue.

tort $50 from him by representing himself
as Assistant Fire Marshal and threat
ening to arrest him for setting fire to
his home. was held for the Grand Jury
this morning by Justice Tighe in the
Adams Street Police Court.
Since Weinig was taken into custody
at the home of his sweetheart, in New
York City, he has claimed that his ar
rest was a put-up job. He has also
made ugly allegations against certain
persons who figure in the prosecution,
and said that when the case came up
for examinatio he would make merry
music for them.
Detectives Ryan and Kelly, of the
Brooklyn Central Office squad. and
Deputy Fire Marshal Freel of New
York have declared that weinig had
been working for them and had pro-
duced valuable evidence in several ar
son cases. The examination to-day was
brief, and Weinig did not get chance
to put his story on record.
Klein. the complainant, took the stand.

Weinig, cross-exanined him on his af-
