FIRST MOLINEJZX BILL.
PRIVATE DETECTIVE SERVICE EN-
PLOYED BY THE DISTRICT ATTOR-
NEY COSTS THE CITY 1881.

The first bin against the city for services in the
trial of Roland B. MolneuX was filed yesterday In
the Controllers office. The amount of the bill was
S5SSl, and it filed by ex-Detective Sergeant
Heidelberg who now conducts private detective
agency. Heidelberg was employed by the District
Attorney November 16, 1899, to watch the Moi-
neux jury. He detailed twelve of his private de-
tectves to watch the jury, and this espionage was
continued until January 2, when. following the
complaints of some OF the jurymen. who asserted
that the ubquity displayed by Heideberg's men
was annoying, the shadowing process was dropped
That the comparatively unimportant work
signed to the Heidelberg agency should have cost
so much is evidence in itself that the estimates
which made of the probable cost to the State
OF the trial were by no means exaggerated. This
bill is entirely apart from the expenses which the
regular police and detective force incurred in
tracing and bringing witnesses to the city and for
watching persons connected with the trial. This bill
will be put by Captain McClusky, and, it is said
will be somewhat startling In its amount More
over, people were asking yesterday why the Dis
trict Attorney, with many detectives of his own
and with the detective department at his com
mand should have found it necessary to mulct the
city the extent of nearly $1,000 by employing a
private detective agency.
Heidelbers's bill which is prefaced by a demand
upon the Controller for payment, recites that thr
teen detectives were employed, one for each jury
and emergency detective, and asks the city
pay for them at the of 81 a day and
penses. AS manager of them Mr.. Heidelberg asks
payment at the rate of IS day and expenses. The
expenses and salaries Of the amounted to S91
a day and were continued for rty-eght days The
bill is itemized follows: For detective service
$4S6S; for thirteen detectives $685. 20; sal
airy for manager, $45l 20; in re No. 100 Broadway
Cat which number the offices of Weeks &
Battle, counsel for MOineux) s. As; In re Rudolph
Heiles, Newark N. j., $3s 80; expenses of Charles
Heidelberg $50 80.
The bill also gives the amount spent by way Of
expense incurred each day in following the move
ments of the jurors. These amounts do. not vary

GRUBER PROTESTS TO MERRIAM.
USE OF CENSUS PATRONAGE AGAINST THE
LEADER IN THE xXIsT

The Of Federal patronage against Abraham
Gruber. the leader Of the Republican organization
in the XXIst Assembly District, has been com
mented severely by Mr.. Gruber proof that
Senator Plat and l.. f. Qugg encouraging the
fight against him in the district. He said yester-
day that new feature OF the warfare was the OF
fer of appointments census enumerators to Re
publicans of the district who will promise to vote
against him at the primaries March q.
Charles S. Wilbur, who has charge of the
census work in this city. has apparently turned
over to Mr.. Qugg the blanks for applications for
appointment census enumerators," Mr.. Gruber
said yesterday. Mr. Quigg has distributed the
blanks among the district leaders, I understand
with the exception of myself No blank applica-
tions have been sent to me, but Austins followers
going about offering appointments as census
enumerators to men in the district who will vote
against at the coming primaries"
Mr.. Gruber has appealed to Census Director Mer-
riam, in Washington, to put stop TO the use of
patronage to influence the primary election in the
XXIst District
There is be a meeting of Republicans of the
NXIst District this evening at the Boulevard Ly-
ceum. No $3.50 Broadway near Ninety-nnth-st,
and Mr.. Gruber will make one Of the speeches at
the meeting. Another meeting Of Republicans of
the district will be held on Thursday evening at
Richmond Hall. in Observation-Disclosures
Eighth-ave.. and Mr.. Gruber will make
speech there.
Charles S. Wilbur said yesterday that Mr.. Gruber
mistaken about the of the Census Bureau
appointments. There will be opportunity to make
Recommendations for appointments of enumerators
for month yet" he said, land Mr.. Gruber is as
Welcome anybody to make recommendations
Anybody can apply for appointment, and there Will
be examination to test the fitness of applicants
The appointed enumerators will have to be
competent for the work, and there will be no poll
tics in the appointments. If Mr.. Gruber wants any
application blanks he get all he wants by send
ing to my office"
L. f. Quigg quoted saying:
Mr.. Gruber is engaged in well considered effort
TO make votes for Tammany Hall. On all occasions
he is uttering injurious ISLANDERS against the Re
publican organization whole and against In
diytdual Republicans His purpose is to create
public prejudice, which if created, can have no
other result than TO make Democratic votes. He
can safely assume, therefore, that l am against
him.
When Mr.. Gruber heard what Mr. Wilbur and
Mr.. Quigg had said he whisted softly and began
to quote from Shakespeare. " Let the CALLED jade
VINCE" he said 80 Quigg is afraid I'll make
votes for Tammany! He says l can assume that
he Is against me. Well, murder Will out. Austin
and his friends have been shouting that Qulgg has
nothing to do with the fight against me- Qugg's
own confession that he is against me will counter
act more votes at the primaries than be gained
by the appointment OF census enumerators in the
district"
