QUESTION OF JURISDICTION.
May Delay the Prosecution of the
Suit Against AIvord for
Some Time.

New York, Oct. 31.-Cornelius L. Al
word, Jr., the embezzling note teller
of the First national bank, who was
arrested Monday in Boston, was ar
ranged in police court here yesterday
and remanded to police headquarters
till three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
in order to give the legal authorities
time to decide whether he shall be
tried before the United States or
state courts. Alvord was accompanied
by his counsel.
A conference had been arranged be-
tween United States District Attorney
Burnett and Asa Bird Gardner, dis
trict attorney of New York county, to
decide upon the disposition of AL
words case.
When Alyord was rearraigned in the
police court, yesterday afternoon,
Fisher A. Baker, counsel for the Firsg
national bank, said that he had Sc
cured warrant from the United
States district court for Alvord's ar.
rest under the laws regulating EN-
bezzlement and making false entries.
He said he would much prefer that
the prisoner go before the United
States courts for trial. This was op-
posed by District Attorney Gardiner.
Alvord's attorney, apparently, took
little interest in this part of the pro-
ceedings. After some discussion the
whole matter went over until to-day.
Alvord was committed to the Tombs.
II appears probable that there may be
a long contest as 10 jurisdiction. Dis
trict Attorney Gardiner apparently
being determined that the prisoner
shall be tried in a state court.
