THE TRIO ARRAlGNED.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY, FEARING GLEN
BIG BAIL To HOLD HIM.

Edward G. Glennon and John Dwyer. accom-
panied by Captain Flood. arrived at the Grim
inaI Courts Building just before O'Clock, and
there met Sergeant Shells who had come from
his home on notice from Captain Flood and by
their counsel. Abram L. Eltus, former partner
of the late Colonel James, who defended the po-
lice cases which resulted from the Lexow in
vestigation.
The prisoners Immediately arraigned be-
fore Justice Jerome in the Court Of Special Ses-
sions Glennon leaned heavily on the bar and
looked worried He is of medium height, with
black eyes. set close together His neck is short
and stout and the expression of his face is un-
prepossessing. Shells the picture OF indlg-
nation Dwyer calm and stolid. Captain
Flood was the coolest man Of the four. and
watched the proceedings keenly.
Mr. Elkus waived the reading OF the deposit
tions and Justice Jerome said he could epito-
rnize them by saying that they charged the de-
PENDANTS with neglectiug 10 do their duty as
police officers with reference a disorderly
house at No las West Thirty-third-st.
CARAVAN IMPLICATES DEvERY.
Mr.. Elkus demanded an examination OF the
defendants and their admission bail.
In reference to the question of bail" said
Assistant District Attorney Caravan. 81 ask that
the bail in the against e. c. Glennon be
fixed at at least S1OO0. He is accused of hav-
ing refused 10 do his duty in reference to a
disorderly house AT No. 14s West Thirty third
ST There is also evidence before your honor
that money has been handed out OF the windows
10 policemen; that women have solicited from
the house both day and night; that neighbors
have been bothered continually for three years
by this places perseverance in business: that
complaints have been useless IN every case. and
that this defendant has been assigned each
and every day for the last four months TO OBJ
tain evidence against the house. 1t appears
before your honor that this defendant entered
into an agreement with one Whitney TO in
terest himself in obtaining a cessation Of COM
plants from the Society for the Prevention Of
Crime and that he CWhitney) received from
the defendants 500 for this house after tele-
phonic conversation with ". S. Devery in refer
ence 10 talking with him Also on the question
OF bail there must be considered the past career
OF the defendant. This is not the first time
that he has been charged with crime before
the bar the court. and when charged be-
fore he jumped his bail and departed from the
country The officers In his precinct have been
given the fullest opportunities TO exonerate him.
but so far from freeing him from the charge
they have involved him much the more
deeply that ii has been found necessary by the
District Attorney 10 make their evidence part
of the complaint against their brother officer.
/ feel therefore. that the hail in this case should
be at least $4,000. and that the security should
be the best obtainable"
COUNSEL SAYS GLENNON DIDN'T SKIP
II am astcnished at the utterance Of the Dis
trict Attorney" said Mr.. Elkus He has GER
tainly made a mistake in saying that this de-
fendant Jumped his bail He has confounded
him with a man named Burns. who did forfeit
his bail and has never been seen since. Glennon
was concerned in case in which he was in
dicted. but the Indictment dismissed upon
the acquittal of Devery. inasmuch that de-
cision made IL clear that the case against Glen
non could not he sustained"
Justice Jerome said that the magistrate could
only assume that the testimony was true, al
though he must recognize from experience that
much that looked discriminating was susceptible
of explanation. He fixed the bail at $1,000 in
the case of Glennon. and $1,000 each for Shells
and Dwyer.
Mr. EIkus protested that the magistrate could
only consider the crime charged. and could not
take into account other crimes not specified. and
demanded an examination; but Justice Jerome
said that a magistrate had TO regard the infor-
his clients prepared TO furnish the bail
at once.
POLICE CAPTAINS WITNESSES.
You will find. Mr.. Elkus' said Justice Je-
rome. by examining these dispositions that the !
really vital testimony is that of any person |!
at all discredted like Whitney but has been !
given by police captains. citizens of unblemished !
ranut a ton the station house blotters and repu-
fable officials. The testimony is of such a char |
acter that it has to be attacked by argument
ra ther than by examination
Justice Jerome fixed Thursday at p. for /
the examination and said that the first witness 4
woud be Captain Flood The bail bonds were
signed by Patrick Mccarthy. of No ~ Green
wicb-st and Louis SChOheid. of KingSbridge,
and the three were released.
