ED SCANNELL ARRESTED.
PROMISED TO eET M'GOWAN IN THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT $3.50.

He Ii n Brother of the Fire Commissioner,
and Said lie Would he Able to Arrange the
appointment Through "BrotherGeorRe,'
Who Had the Say" Ia All Such Matters.
Ed ward Scannell. a brother OF Fire Commits
sioner John j. Scannell. was arrested yester-
DAY afternoon OH a charge OF accepting a bride
OF S?JO for the pretended use Of his influence
In having Frank McGowan OF l431 Second ave-
nue. appointed to II place In the Fire Depart
ment. Scannell was taken before Magistrate
Cornell IN the Centre street Police Court and
held In $500 bail for examination this morn
Ing. Magistrate Cornell waited a short time
to enable Scannell to secure a bondsman. but
as no one appeared Scannell was locked up in
the Tombs.
Frank McCiowan. upon whose affidavit the
warrant was issued. says that In August. 1888,
he me- Scannell at the house OF Michael J.
Craven. McGowan's iather-in-law. and had a
long talk with him in regard to securing an
appcintment In the Fire Department. Nc.
Gowan says Scannell told him that his brother
George had the say in all. such. appoint
said. that the appointment could be arranged
Tor 500. {, hart of which. Scunnell said. would
60 to lee ph,llips' Secretary Of The local Civil
Scannell at, the County, Court House in Sep
tenber and paid him 500 on account. There.
who. Scannell said, was his brother George. On
Sept. ~. Mc1owan declared. lie went again to
the County Court House. this time accom-
panied by his father-i ia. law. Michael J. Craven.
Scannell. he said. refused to confer with him
la the presence Of Craven and invited him into
a private office. where the remaining $3.50
was paid to S~cannell.
After waiting for three weeks without be-
Ing appointed Mctiowan determined to look up
brother George" and find out the reason for
the delay. He went to the Surrogate's office.
where George Scannell Is employed. 9nd was
SURPRISED to find that the brother George
who worked there was not the one he had met
IN the County Court House: The real George
Scannell. MCGOWAN says. advised him to have
Edwar Scannell arrested.
The complaint against Scannell Is drawn
under the section OF the Penal Code which
makes II a crime to receive money tor using
personal influence to secure an appointment
to o public Office. but the same section makes
the person who offers the bride an plice
IN the crime and requires that his testimony
be corroborated. Magistrate Cornell had some
doubts last evening az to whether the allega-
lions in the charge against Scannell could be
corroborated and said that he might decide to
order n complaint on the grounds OF obtaining
money from MCGOWAN BY trick and device.
MCGOWAN first told his story to tho police carly
In March. and at that time Fire COMMISSIONS
Scannell offered. a reward Of $3.50 for the ar
rest OF his brother Edward or the man who
had impersonated George Scannell.
