HE TELLS THE GRAND JURY THAT HIS
NEPHEW IS BEING UNFAIRLY TREATED.
Billy McGlory, in a coat OF clerical cut and
with an air of injured innocence went before the
Grand Jury yesterday OF his own volition and told
how harshly and unfairly his nephew Frank
Campbell. had been treated in being arrested and
fined 500 for having music in his new saloon and
hall in West Fiftyninth-st. Just because" as
he says, the Pauist Fathers are agin me
nephew.
McGlory assured the jury emphati tically that he
had no pecuniary interest in the place but only
wanted fair play for his nephew. who he declared
mad as much right under the law and also under
Corporation Counsel Whalen's Interpretation of II
TO have music as any other resort in town good or
had.
The Grand Jury listened 10 McGlorv for about
twenty minutes. and after he had left the room
sent after him to obtain his address saying that
they might want him later testify regarding
other matters. McGlory the only person heard
by the Grand Jury yesterday on the question of
through with the subject yet but the pressure
Of ordinary IS strong. there being many pris-
oners in the Tombs who would be at once set free
If the Grand Jury found no bill against them and
for the sake OF these persons the Grand Jury Will
now devote its attention for DAYS TO what
may be called routine matters
