Walsh's absence, he discharged
Mr. Unger told Walsh that the would have
to go through the usual channels of the police
court and referred him to Assistant District At
torney Byrne. Mr., Byrne accompanied Walsh to
the Centre-st. court, and there Walsh asked for
warrant for McDonnell's arrest. Magistrate Fiam-
mer said he could not give warrant. such n
paper must be issued in the district in which the
offence. IL any, was committed. Byrne did not
know that, of course. He is only Assistant
District Attorney.
The Grand Jury, it is said, made effort OF It's
summoned before it a newspaper man in order to
learn from him If he would reveal the sources of
his information, the strength of which he has
been writing articles charging the police with pro-

Committee. by President Barrows, of the Produce
Exchange, and John P. Truesde a prominent
