riff, Theodore Hutlick, visited the
Bayonue sanitarium Of DR.. Hendrick.
They found there three trunks
beariug the actress name, packed
and read, for shipment. They ais
found slowed away under a mattress
a large piece OF canvas. belonging to
. tent, which was the property OF
the knickerbocker Athletic Club,
one OF DR.. Hcndribk's nsighbsrs .,
and which was belivcd to have been

HENDRICK PAID MONEY TO STANTON.
Their most significant find was Dr.
Hendricks checkbook, one of the
stubs Of which shows the drawing
of check to the order of Samuel
Stanton for $500. Other names
were found in the checkbook which,
it is said, will have an important
bearing upon the pending criminal
charges against Hendrick and
Stanton.
Despite the fact that dispatches
received in New York yesterday
said that Laura Biggar had been
seen in her old home, Wilmington,
her counsel, Samuel I. Frankenstein,
said last night that she is still in New
York, and that he saw and talked
with her yesterday morning.
Mrs. Bennett is stopping with
friends" he said, ''and she is max
ing no great effort to keep secret
her abiding place. She is ready to
surrender if lawyers on the other
side will consent to a reasonable re-
duction of the bail. She could per-
haps, offer good security for 81, 500.
We consider $4,000, the bail demand
ed, to be excessive, and we have not
been able to get it.
IF Dr. Henderick, who has
friends and some influence, has been
unable to get bail, there is little
hope that she can find it for such
sum as IS, 600. She W ants to have it
distinctly understood that she has
no idea of running away.
She has nothing to fear from
tho clause in the will which dis
inherits any beneficiary who con-
tests its provisions. She is not con.
testing it in the capacity OF the
Laura Biggar named i'll the will, but
in that Of the widow of Henry NJ.
Bennett and the mother of his child.
II have no fear, nor has she, Of
confession from any source"
After a conference, held yester.
day between Executor Hawkins and
Counsellor Young and Arrowsmith
it was determined that no settle.
ment or compromise with Laura
Biggar should be countenanced uu-
der any circ umstances.
