Leonard.'s Charges Against
the Hoboken Police.

John Bamen, a wealthy awning maker
of Hoboken, was arraigned in Recorder
Stanton's court this morning or the COM
plant of Mss Louisa Siloerger a hand
some brunette, who charged Bamen with
assault and battery. The trial Of the
case developed some spicy testimony and
many Sensational features. 1t exposed
sharp practice between certain members
of the Police Department and impecuni-
Gus lawyers who were bent on securing
some of the big sum Of money Bamen had
in his possession when he was arrested
Last night Policeman McKenna was
called into the saloon, No. 50 Newark
street, to quell a fight. He found Bamen
and the Silberger woman engaged in a
lively scrap On the womans complaint
Bamen was arrested, charged with as
sault and battery. The woman was also
held When searched at Hoboken Police
Headquarters s553 was found in Bamen's S
pockets.
1t was not the first time that Bamen fig
ured in court with the SiIberger woman.
Banaen is a married man and has deserted
his wife and children, SO it IS sad, TO
cohabft with Miss SiIberger, with whom
he was infatuated. On the last occasion
that they We're IN court Miss Siiberger
promised to leave the State and to have
nothing more to do with Bamen.
A few days ago Mss silberger came
back to Hoboken. In some way she OBJ
tanned possession of muf which be-
Ionged to Mrs. Bamen. Bamen went look-
ing for her last night 10 get the nun
and found her IN the saloon, No % New
ark street. where the fight took place
Bamen says that he sent three times
for Counsellor Clement De r. Leonard.
When Mr.. Leonard went to Hoboken Po-
lice Headquarters he was denied admits
tanee to the cell corridor to see ms
client.
This morning. Mr. Leonard stated, in
open court, that he believed that the Po-
lice Department was in league with GER
tain lawyers. and that was the reason
that he was debarred from visiting his
client. He said that the fact that sBamen
had in his possession a large sum OF
money when he was arrested made the
police and the lawyers all the more eager
to get it Ee said that favored lawyers
would not have any difficulty m getting
an audience VITA the prisoner.
Recorder Stanton was very Indignant,
and said that Mr. Leonard's complaint
would be Thoroughly Investigated, and
that hereafter he would see to 1t that.lr It
would net be necessary to have writ
ten order for d lawyer to see a client:
Bauen was severely lectured by the
Recorder, and advised to keep away from
the Silberger woman. He was lined $40
and was also fined s20 for carrying a
club in his pocket. Bamen paid his hnes
from the roll of bills he had behind the

QUAY MUST STAND TRIAL
Court Overrules His Motion
to Quash Indictments
Against Him.
CASE WILL Be TAKEN UP DEC. s
Judge Finletter Says He. Will
Treat the Matter as
Any Other Criminal
Proceedings.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. ], 1885,
Judge Finletter, in the Court Of Quarter
Sessions today, overruled all the mo-
tions of objection entered by defendantss
counsel TO the five indictments found by
the Grand Jury against United Stafea
Senator NJ. S. Quay, his son Richard r.
Quay, and ex-State Treasurer Benjamin
J. Haywood. The defendants were not
in court. but Rufus E Shapley, their sen-
Tor counsel, on announcement OF the
Judges decision, moved the Court to in
srruct the clerk to enter pleas of not
guilty.
This being done District Attorney
Graham stated that the commonw wealth
was ready to proceed to trial at once and
asked the Court to fix an early date fol
the trial
Mr.. Shapley stated that the books and
accounts presented at the magistrates,
hearing were voluminous. These matters
TO evidence he and his colleague had not
had an opportunity TO examine. They
desired to have an expert go over these
accounts carefully before they would be
ready to combat the allegations of the
Commonwealth and he asked that a date
not earlier than December Y be fixed
He said, furthermore that his coli
league, A. s. L. Shields. had an important
case in the United States Court on Mon
day next which would probably occupy
his time several days. He would, there
fore, be obliged to conduct this trial alone
should date be fixed for next week.
Judge Finletter in reply to Mr.. r..ShapIey
stated that he would treat this case as
that of any other ordinary criminal pro-
ceeding on the docket and he could not
therefore grant the time asked for by de-
fendant's counsel He had intended fixing
Monday next as the date for trial, but iH
Difference to Mr.. Shields professional
engagement on that day he would APP
point the following day, Tuesday, Decem-
Der s, for the opening of the trial. He
stated that he considered that ample time
for counsel to prepare their defense.
Four of the five bills of Indictment
found by the Grand Jury charged the
defendants with conspiracy to misuse
the funds of the State on deposit in the
Peoples Bank for their own benefit and
profit, and the fifth Indictment charged
Benjamin ]. Haywood with illegally
1oanfng 100000 of tie State funds over
which he had control.
Demurrers were entered by defendants
counsel last week to the first four in
dictments, but Judge Finletter today de-
elared these demurrers not sustained. a
motion to quash the fifth Indictment was
also oyerruled by the Judge.
