DR.. COOLEY IN DESPAIR
Thinks That John Watts Kearny
Will Not Be Re-
taken.

L DR.. Cooley of the Plainfield Sanitarium,
from which John Watts Kearny Jr., re-
Gently escaped, has given up all hope OF
capturing his missing patient, whom, 1t IS
said, is now safely on his way to Eng
land thanks to the efforts of his aunt, the
Marquise de .Kermel.
Young Kearnys escape was severe
blow to his father General John Watts
kearny who married yesterday at Char-
lottesviile Va, Miss Elizabeth Harrison
of Kentucky.
The circumstances of young Kearny' $
commitment to the sanitarium last
January in an action brought by ms
father, who had him declared an haDltual
drunkard, and how young kearnys aunt,
the Marquise de Kernel, fought for MS
liberty, are familiar to readers OF ne
News The Marquise is General kearny' $
her home in France to help her nephew. .
II believe that the Marquise de Kernel
was in Plainfield last week, said a Pr.
she was here, but I believe that she had
something to do with Kearny's escape. l
think thai by this time young Kearny has
made his way out of the State.
The Marquise de Kernel, speaking Of
the escape, said I'll am delighted that
my nephew has escaped from the lunatlc
asylum Yog know that =. there rear are iunae va
were thinking of carrying up his case on
appeal to the United States Court, but |
am glad that he has taken this simple
way of regaining his liberty.
81 don't believe the story given out by
the asylum mana gers about his escape is
true. l think my nephew sawed one of
the bars of his window, wrenched it aside
and jumped out. | had heard that he
contemplated something of the sort, but L
had no idea that he would do it so soon:

gets out of the State of New Jersey he
will come here. He has been able to
change his appearance am informed

ten years in the employ of the bank at

don't think that Miss Harrison Tilted him
to marry his father. I don't know, but

friendly letter"

Attorney-General Samuel H.
Grey Refunds the 81, 1853.
IS to County Collec-
tor Dugan.
LAME SORT OF EXPLANATION
Attempt to Shift the Blame Coupled
With a Bluff as to the Eff.
feet of the Law.

Attorney General Samuel H. Grey, hav-
ing learned from 1.-The Jersey City News
that there was no warrant of law fol
the claim which he made upon Hudson
County for compensation for his services
in the Noonan-Simpson case, did yester-
day the only thing which, under the cir
cumstances, remained for him to do. He
had already collected from County Col
lector Hugh Dugan the amount of his
claim, so there was no course open to
him but to draw his check and refund
the money.
This morning, County Collector Dusan
found a letter from the Attorney Gen.
eral in his mail 1t enclosed check for
81. .4ss.S3. the full amount which Mr., Grey
had received 1t is believed that all that
should have been returned was the 81, ,4oC
fee for services. The bill for expenses
was probably legitimate.
Mr.. Grey's letter read as follows

Attorney General

Hugh Dugan, Esq. Collector of Hud-
son county Jersey City. N. j.
Dear Sir-I received from you week
ago. pursuant to an order made by
Mr.. Justice Lippincott, under the act
of 1854 a check for the amount of my
( bill for services in the prosecution of

: ty. l was brought into this case by
the action of Justice Lippincott in the
exercise of the power conferred upon
him by the act of 1854, and by his di-
rection presented bill, which was
sent to him You have his approval
endorsed upon the bill, by virtue OF
which YOU paid it. Since the receipt
of this money my attention has been
directed to the act of 1882, which, al
though 1 had before seen it, had not
examined with reference to its effect
upon the act of 1854, nor had Mr.. JUS
Ilce -LlpplilCOlt, as iiO e>SSc 90 4A&~'
am not clear that under the act OF
1882, 1 am entitled to any extra COM
pensation for the services rendered
in prosecuting Noonan and Simpson,
although Justice Lippincott thinks
that am SO entitled, and I therefore
return my check drawn to your or
der, No. 4,673, on the Camden Safe De-
posit and Trust Company for s1,46S.s5,
being the full amount received from
you. I should be glad to have your
acknowledgement of the receipt of this
: check.
Very truly yours,
