At last Messrs. Bird & Co. have come
to the conclusion OF their alphabetical
search for wealth. but II the sentiment
OF the community goes for anything.
they Will get nothing, whether It be ~"
or ~" Altogether some 600 informa-
lions have been fled, and as the In
formers five per cent Is In some In
stances claimed for each OF several
years. II is estimated that the percent
age which the informers claim fOots up
at least 100000
The Intelllgencer learns upon the
best OF authority that the lnformer
crowd will not rest with the decision OF
Justices Of the peace. 1t Is their fixed In
tention to attempt 10 have criminal
court grand jury Indictments brought
against the persons and firms accused
OF not making returns to the assessors
OF money they have out on loan.
N. w. Bird. the informer, approached
Prosecuting Attorney W. G. Meyer and
actually had the temerity TO ask that
official 10 have a special criminal court
grand jury called for the purpose Of
taking up his cases. OF course his re-
quest was not granted. Mr.. Meyer said
that so far as he could see there was no
need OF such action, and that the I'm
formers would have to wait until the
November grand jury convenes, unless
they could prevail upon Judge HuguS
to hold a special term OF the criminal
court in the meantime. OF course Judge
HuguB will fall over himself accommo-
dating the informer crowd.
The lawyers employed by some OF the
defendants are not particularly worried
over the prospect that the informers
will endeavor TO have their clients in
dlcted by the criminal court grand Jury.
They are not prepared to state whnt
their course will be in that event, but
one lawyer told an Intelligencer repor
ter yesterday afternoon that he did
not believe the informers could indict
six out of the six hundred persons and
firms figuring In the lnfornationa,
Interest now centers In the trial OF
two OF the cases in the courts OF Jus
tees Cumming and HRberleld on Mon
day. The outcome will be awaited with
interest. II the justices rule that they
have no jurisdiction the informers In
tend going ahead and make n strong
effort TO secure indictments by the
grand jury. Birds attempt to have a
special grand Jury called for his partic-
ular benefit would seem to indicate
that he and his crowd are preparing for
an unfavorlble decision by the Justices.
