Svack ~ Y. June Cit was reported this
.~ernoon that a conference was to be held be-
.reen sheriff Blauvelt and his advisory counsel
.,arew Y Fallon in regard TO delivering I'D
,ha nrisoners James and Jennie Wilson TO the
Nnw-York City authorities. This was not strict
\. true but Sheriff Blauvelt did telephone to
Mr. Falon. who lives al Sparkill, to meet him
., Nyack this afternoon, and Mr. Fanon came
m arriving here about o'clock He met Sher-
NJ Blauvelt. and they retired to the Sheriff's
Office TO talk over some matters Of business
which they did in the presence Of a number o.
other persons. The kidnapping matter was
finally discussed briefly. but IL was not gone into
IN detail, and no material results were accom-
plished. The Sheriff said II was only an Incl
dental conversation. and had developed nothing
new. Mr.. Fallon while talking with the Sheriff
said:
80 far as the law is concerned there is no
court or Judge on Gods earth who can issue an
order OF any kind compelling the authorities OF
Rocidand County to give up the prisoners TO the
authorities OF New-York. but there is another
way would advise. and it is for the Sheriff 10
hand the prisoners over to the officers OF the law
in New-York City and take chances on the result
! am sure that the people of Rockland County
will not protest, for they will be only too glad
10 set rid OF the and place II where 1t should
be, in New-York City. l haven't any idea that
effort would be made 10 impeach the Sheriff
for such action. either. and l firmly believe he
would come out all right In the end II he
should be brought to account ne would be a
martyr In good cause"
Sheriff Blauvelt did not like to take the risk
Of such action, however. and would not con-
sent TO giving up the prisoners. District-At-
torney Wyre said this afternoon that he would
be satisfied for the authorities in New-York
City to begin proceedings against the RockIand
County officials in the New-York Supreme
Court, and obtain an order from that court for
them to show why they should not deliver
up the prisoners. He said that while he would
have the right TO fight such a proceeding he
would be willing 10 waive that right and not
make any contest and abide cheerfully by the
decision reached by the Supreme Court. This
he said he thought was the fairest thing he
could offer. and he would be pleased 20 have
the New York authorities take such proceed
ings In the mean time the prisoners would re-
main in the Supreme Court until the matter
decided and II the decision was against
the officials of this county. he knew the pr!s-
oners would be handed over to the New-York
police without further discussion. SO fa- as he
was concerned at present, NJ. Wyre said he
had no power TO act in any manner different
from the course which he was now pursuing.
IL was decided this afternoon that a confer
once be held in District-AttOrney Wyre's otice
tomorrow afternoon at ] o'clock by District
Attorney Wyre County Judge Wheeler. Sheriff
Blauvelt and his council. Mr.. Fallon. 70 decide
upon some plan Of action. and whatever con-
clusion 1t reached would be final TO them Ot
course, Irving Brown Will not be present for
his whole interest Is centred in the defence OF
the prisoners but it is said that If in any way
the New-York City authorities succeed in get
ting possession OF the prisoners Brown will
apply for a writ OF habeas corpus TO bring them
back TO Rockland County. Whether not he
Will succeed in doing this remains to be seen,
but ne is man OF varied resources, and Is de-
termined TO fight to the extent Of his ability for
his clients whom he asserts are innocent Of the
charges against them,
