n
Diss-ufe Oyer AIsOrd.
NEW YORK, Oct 31--After spending
his first night in tie Tombs prison, Cor
nelius L. Alvord. 1r., the defaulting note
teller of the First National Bank was
again taken tt he Centre Street police
court this morning to have the question
decided as 10 whether the Federal or the
Stase courts have Jurisdiction in his case
The decision may establish a precedent
and District Attorney Gardiner and Gen.
era1 Burnett, the United States District
Attorney, were both in court. ready to ar
que the question.
\ warrant for tns defaulter's arrest On
q charge OF embezzl l,1ment is held by Uni
ted States Marshal Henke1 Under this.
it is claimed by tie Federal authorities
that he should be turned over TO them for
trial. But Alvord has been arrested by
the State aut~ orities, and is chaFs i with
grand larceny, and District Attorney
Gardiner declares that, until that charge
is tried, the prisoner cannot be turned
over to the Federal authorities.
The bank wants AIvord turned over to
the latter, and Attorney Baker. counsel
for that institution, is supporting the
Federal claim.
In this connection it is pointeds~out by
the District Attorney that under the Fed
eral law Alvord could escape with small
er sentence than under the State law
Assistant District Attorney Hennessy
said today: IF he were convicted Of en-
| bezzlement in the United States Court, he
could not get more than ten years. Under
the State law We may secure indictments
for grand larceny in the first degree and
forgery in the first or seeop1 degree. The
penalty for grand larceny is not to exceed
ten years, and for forgery in the first
degree not to exceed twenty years For
gerry in the second degree may be punished
by term not to exceed ten years"
After the attorneys representing the
United States, the State OF New York,
Alvord, and the First National Bank had
spent nearly an hour in arguing with each
other, Magistrate Flammer put the case
over until II o'clock tomorrow morning,
when, he said, he would probably decide
whether he would hold the embezzler for
trial in a State or United States court.
Then Alyord was taken back to the Tombs

Suspicious OF A PLOT.
Ex-Gsovernor stones View of the Al.
legged Cleveland Interview.


NEW YORK. Oct. S1.-At Democratic
National Headquarters there is a strong
suspicion this morning that the fake in
terview with Grover Cleveland which was
imposed upon the Philadelphia Times, y
was the result OF deliberate plot formed
by small faction of 1rreconciiable Gold
Democrats led by ]. Sterling Morton, of
Nebraska. This is the opinion of ex-Gov-
ernor Stone, who has been Investigating
the matter.
In response to telegram of enquiry.
Governor Stone this morning received an
explanation CT the affair from the editor
of the Times 1t is explained that a
certain R. j. Black, of Nebraska. called
en- Col. "a. K Mcclure. in Philadelphia.
with letter of Introduction from ]. Ster-
ling Morton. Black also exhibited let
ter of introduction from Morton to Cleve-
land He told the editor of his intention
TO visit Princeton and Interview Cleveland
on the Presidential contest.
Naturally, Black was requested to let the
Philadelphia paper have the interview.
Evidently the whole thing was a job con-
cocted by the enemy to trick Cleveland
entially the espousal of McKinIey's cause.
]. Sterling. Morton is quite capable OF this
sort of mean trfckery- Mr.. Cleveland has
repudiated the interview, but in his re-
pudiation he has not. as evidently 1T was
expected he would do. taken UP the cudgel
for Mr.. Mckinley The trick has failed to
work and<the incident has closed.
Governor Stone today sent out to all OF
the State ehairmen in his jurisdiction,
strong appeal for the prosecution to the
limit of the law every corporation manager
and other employer of labor who attempts
to intimidate or coerce his employees eth
means on election day.
The conduct of President Cowen, OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, is understood
to have been the direct cause OF this ac-
tion on the part of Mr.. Stone. who is hav-
ing the law of Maryland examined to de-
termine whether or not the arrest and
prosecution of Cowen would be advisable
National Committeeman Norman E Mack
returned TO headquarters this morning
from a three weeks visit to Buffalo and
other points in western New York. II am
more firmly convinced than ever" said
Mr. Mack, that we will carry New York.
I have-no doubt at all as to what Erie
county will do It was carried by Mckin-
| ley four years-ago with a majority Of

by majorities ranging from two 10 four

Rough Rider Roosevelt is booked for a
speech on the East Side tonight. The

that he is crazy. Scores of Tammany Hall
men are going through the East Side to-

hostile demonstration to Roosevelt to be
