Giving Them Up to New York.

NEW YORK, June 3-Sherif Blauvelt,
of Rockland county. came to the city
early to-day to consult with the police
authorities here regarding the case of the
Wilson's, or Barrows, who are in Jail at
Nyack. charged with the Kidnapping of
Marion Clark.
\ dispatch TO the Associated Press from
Nyack to-day says that there is strong
sentiment there against the county au-
thorities standing upon the law which
gives ROckland county the power to
prosecute the abductors, who were ar
rested there. although the crime was COM
mitted IN New YORK county. The senti-
ment has some bearing upon the expense
which the prosecution entails upon the
taxpayers.
1t is generally believed at Nyack that
Jennie Wilson will tell all she knows
when the case comes to trial, notWith-
standing the efforts of her counsel to
prevent it.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1O.-Later reports
from the scene of the terrible wreck
on the Lehigh Valley road near West

by the death of those mangled and
crushed in the wreck.
So far nineteen persons are dead as
the result of the collision. Over q score
of persons more or less seriously
wounded lie in the hospitals in this

head on into this car, and the engine
and tender went clear through the car
to the rear end.
The coroner will hold an inquest to
day and try to fix the blame for the
disastrous accident. So far as unoffi-
cial investigation can fix the blame it
is found to lie with the operator at
South Plainfiield.
