tormer keepers at the jail. Sheriff Tamsen ana
bis three former subordinates are charged with
misdemeanor in permitting the escape OF Charles
Allen. Joseph Killoran and Henry Russell, the
postoffice thieves. from the Jail on the morning OF
July T. The action Of the Grand Jury caused no
surprise because it was known to the public that
an investigation Of the Jail and of the escape was
being made by the jury. 1t was known also
that evidence of gross carelessness and miscon-
duct in the management of the jail and Of
favoritsm toward the prisoners who escaped had
been presented at the investigation.
Before Sheriff Tamsen was indicted an oppor-
tInty was allowed him to appear before the
Grand Jury and state his side OF the case. He
vas admitted TO the presence Of the Grand Jury
about noon, and il understood that he had
been permitted TO testify after ne had sent a
request TO the District-Attorney. When he APP
peared in the waiting-room he carried big
bundle. which somebody said contained the keys
of Ludlow Street jail He wore his white high
hat and looked nervous. He would not speak to
reporters. After waiting for about ten minutes
the Sheriff was ushered into the Grand jury room.

It was said in the District-Attorney's Office
that II Sheriff Tamsen was indicted he would nave
to be arrested By Coroner H'eber. a joker said

went into the Grand Jury wating-room and
thence 10 Mr.. Battles office looking very much
excited. He was much disgusted when he learned
fa ne the victim Of a practical joker, and
be left the office. vOwing vengeance.
When the Sheriff left the Grand Jury room he
evidently expected to be indicted. but he refused
to say anything the subject. Tne Grand Jury
made report to Recorder Goff In Part IF the
Court Of General Sessions soon after p. m. and
Foreman Higgins handed up the indictments

This Is something new to me, and or course

on the subject Of the reorganization Of the State
Committee OF the Republican party OF New-York
are clear and well considered. am In favor OF
reorganization. | am in favor OF increasing the
number OF the committee and Of changing the
basis OF representation l am opposed to any
system which depends solely on population for It's
basis OF representation. Ny Idea Is that the
chairmen Of the sixty county committees through
out the State should constitute the State Com

a chairman OF sucr State Committee from the
State al large. They might also elect advisory
members from among the wel-known Repub-
