Former Deputy Commissioner.

Appellate Division Also Finds Against the
Former Deputy Commissioner.
The conviction of former Deputy City Works
Commissioner Robert w. Fielding for conniv-
ing at the audit and allowance of u fraudulent
claim against the city Of Brooklyn was unan-
imously affirmed by the Appellate Division Of
the Supreme Court in Brooklyn yesterday.
The indictment charged Mr.. Fielding with
passing upon the bills of contractors for fill
ing in and grading Neptune avenue at Coney
Island. knowing the bills to be frauds on the
city. The law provided that when work was to
amount to more than $1,000 bids must be So
licited. and it was commended that a number of
bills a~gGregating S21. 712.6O were presented
in sums less than $4,000 each and that the
Deputy Commissioned of City Works placed
was brought out that Henry 4. Finkle. who
was supposed to be the contractor doing the
work, was only n dummy for Daniel Doody.
and that the latter had made an agreement
with Fielding that for the contracts he re-
ceived he was to pay Fielding 10 per cent.
Ficlding's defence was TINT he was SO busy
at the time the hills were presented to him that
he did not have time to inspect them. and that
he passed them as a matter OF course. relying
upon the 20 II" mark of Oscar Knapp. who
was then Water Purveyor, Fielding was. con-
victed and supreme Court Justice H~irschberg
sentenced him to two years and a half in Sing
Sing and to pay a fine of $2.1 II 60, the amount
of Finkle's last bill.
Counsel for Fielding Immediately after the
decision yesterday applied to Chief Justice
Parker of the Court Of Appeals in Albany and
u temporary stay of execution OF sentence
and an order to show cause. returnable next
manent. Notice of appeal from the decision of
the Appellate Division was also given.

There was quite a little excitement
on the wharf yesterday afternoon
about half past one o'clock, occasion
ed by a bold attempt at highway rob-
berry. There were many people on the
wharf when the attempt was male.
After the Sistersyille packet Ruth pull
ed in. William Shafer. of T~hirty-drst
street walked of the boat carrying
two $40 bills in his hand, intending to
put them into his pocket book.
When he reached a point perhaps 20
feet from the foot of the stage, two col
ored roustabouts, who had been lolling
On some boxes piled on the wharf,
snatched the money from Mr.. Shafer
and darted UP the bank, II going
through the Windsor alley to Main
street and the other I'D Water street.
Mr.. Shafer Immediately telephoned
to police headquarters and a descrip-
ton OF the two men was sent out, with
orders to arrest them.
Almost a half hour later a telephone.
message from Bridgeport stated that
Officer Meister of that place had ar
rested two negroes on suspicion, and
they were being held as fugitives from
justice.
Officer Walker, was sent to Bridgeport
with Mr.. Shafer, who identified the
men as the right parties. They re-
turned to this city without requisition.
On them was only found SO.
Both negroes were taken before JUS
tice Rogers, where they gave their
mans as Edward Baker, of Tennessee.
and Alfred MCGEE, of Cleveland, O.
Upon complaint Of Mr.. Shafer they were
committed to jail in default of $500
bond each for a hearing at 2 o'clock
this afternoon on the charge of high
way robbery.
1t is said that these are the same
negroes who held up William Hercules
on the Island several days ago. Her
cuies, at the time was coming from
work. He only had so cents in his
possession at the time and that was al
the money they secured. Mr.. Her
cules may bring charges against them.
