hail Refused-The Day. Details.

SotiiinisslCneF DI the ReFenue, anu kni7
mornings train is expected to bring TO
the city another prisoner charged with
somewhat similar offence.
The second warrant against Taylor was
served upon him yesterday morning soon
after he had been remanded to jail by
Justice Crutchfield. who declined to grant
bail, and that for the second man, who is
also alleged to have been instrumental
In passing fraudulent claims against the
State for the support Of lunatics, was
placed in the hands OF Sergeant Alec
Tomllnson. who, with Officer Gibson. left
on the $40 p. NJ. train, over the York
River railroad, to execute the process.
The investigation into the matter OF
lunatic-support orders. therefore. grows
more interesting as 1t progresses. There is
more OF mystery and secrecy than usually
attends such an inquiry, but the Dispatch
has been able, by the earnest endeavors
and persistent work OF Its reporters. to
keep the public pretty well advised as 10
the situation. When the second person
suspected Of wrong-doing. who is proba-
bly, In custody now, has been gotten safely
within the grasp of the city authorities,
the officials in possession OF information
will probably unbosom themselves. In
deed. they may have an opportunity or
doing so in court this morning.
TAYLOR BEFORE THE JUSTICE.
The case against Taylor was called
In the Police Court yesterday morning
fsw minutes before 10 O'clock, and the
prisoner, who had been brought down
from the Second Police Station, answered
to his name. His counsel-Judge Edmund
fr
liam F.. Wickham, and Mr. W. ID. Card
vell-were at the time In consultation In
the office Of the Chief of Police. They
were sent for and came at once into the
courtroom. AZ soon as they took their
seats Justice Crutchfield stated that the
warrant on which the accused had been
arrested was made returnable for to-
day instead OF yesterday. and hence he
could not 90 into an examination until to-
day.
Mr. Carter then made formal motion
for bail, and at the same time asserted Ii
as his belief that his motion would not
b. granted. He explained. however, that
he purposed taking the case before Judge
Witt on a writ OF habeas corpus with
view h securing bail. and he deemed II
right for the first effort In this direction
TO be made in the Police Court. The jus
tice oyerruled the motion, but at the re-
quest Of counsel delivered the prisoner
over to Sergeant Tomlinson to be con-
Quoted to the Hastings Court. The ac-
cused was shown TO the City Sergeants
Office, where he was formally turned over
to Captain Epps, and his attorneys then
went into consultation with Common
wsalth's-Attorney Smith. After about an
hours conference the lawyers agreed 10
suspend their efforts to secure bail until
to-day, vlen the case will again be called
In the Police Court.
HAD TO GO TO JAIL.
They tried to obtain permission from
Justice Crutchnsld to let Taylor remain
I'm the custody of the police at the Second
Station, but this was refused. and he
went to Jail, where he was assigned to a
cell on the upper floor with Holleran, the
murderer.
AIr. Taylor is very reticent concerning
his case but to one OF his relatives, VINO
called on him, he said that although
things looked black against him now
be would be able to establish his inno-
& @nce. 81
The failure to secure bail yesterday Is
said to have been due to the fact that
several very important witnesses for the
Commonwealth were absent, and Mr..
Smith deemed it inadvisaole to grant bail
10 a person charged with felony without
some examination being made. Those
who were summoned Wednesday as
witnesses were Messrs. Morton Marye'
b. c. Garrett. Henry ). Wailerstein,
A NJ. Tomlinson, and c. A. Gibson. All OF
these were present. with the exception
OF MIR. Garrett, who is Clerk OF the MING
William County Court lie Will De mere
to-day, but II Is known tnat huilper
of other witnesses from a distance nave
these. r.
Nelson. OF Manassas, cannot reach mere
until this afternoon. and IL is probable
that the examination VIII be postponed or
adjourned on his account.
OTHER WARRANTS ISSUED.
The additional warrant sworn out
against Taylor, and that for the arrest
of the other person, were prepared by
Mr. Smith, in his office, under the direc-
ton of Colonel Marye early yesterday
morning. and were subscribed to before
Magistrate Tyler. IL was then stated mat
others would follow later in the day. put
at a late hour last night no others had
been made public. r.,
The second warrant against Taylor
charges him with utterlng a forged order
from the County Court OF King WilllaIh'
purporting to be drawn and attested by
y. c. Garrett, Clerk, in favor or j. H.
Johnson for the maintenance OF a luhallc
named Francis Johnson.
The warrant for the additional arrest,
II is said, charges that the accused utter
ed two forged orders similar TO those that
TAYLOR Is charged with having passed.
II was whispered yesterday that these
orders were collected through Mr.. u.
o'Suuiyan. who keeps a grocery at
Eighteenth and Main streets ana mas a
good deal OF trade in the country below
Richmond. Mr.. OSullivan. however, de-
MED that he had handled any such paper
though admitting that he possessed some
knowledge In connection with these trans
actions that he did not feel at liberty TO
give for publication. Mr.. O'Sulliyan was
also reported on Thursday TO have
been one OF the merchants through
whom the lunatic claims were
sent 10 the Capitol for collectlon' out
when he was seen that evening he maus
positive denial of having handled
any of them.
WHO is THIS MAN?
Who Is the second man arrested or
TO be arrested? everybody VIII ask inns
morning. The Dispatch might answer IN
this issue. for II knows perfectly Wen,
but. yielding to the known wishes OF those
who are pursuing the inVestisatioh'
withholds the name. as IL did that OF
people were surprised and others, angered
al the appearance OF our full and ex-
elusive story OF the issuance OF the war
rant at the conference held In Audltor
Marye's Office the night before.
The second man suspected does not iiVe
any further from Richmond than Iaylor
did. To reach his house the officers nao
10 travel some distance by private con-
veyance. or they might have gotten pacA
late last night. Up to 2 o'clock this morn
ing nothing had been heard from mem.
and II could not be learned at the nearest
telegraph-office whether the arrest had
been made or not Commonwealths-A s-Attor-
ney Smith was more willing TO give IN
formation yesterday than he was lhe
night before. but when seen iast hlsh.
declined 10 discuss the new phase tnat
matters had taken. He would NOT say
where the man wanted lives, or what mis-
name Is He only desired to withhold thls
information until the arrest was known

The developments yesterday were as
will be seen. quite interesting; the IN
