states evidence are absolutely untrue.
These reports have never at any time been
founded on any facts whatever and could
have been circulated only for the purpose
Of annoying and injuring Mr.. Beavers be-
fore the public.
LAS counsel for Mr. Beavers we have ad
vised him not to make any statement what
ever in reference to this matter and at the
proper time he will take such, action as
may be necessary to demonstrate his own
innocence of the charges brought against
him. and in the meantime we ask the pub
lie to suspend Judgment upon his case
That does not mean that you will sur
render Mr.. Beavers in Brooklyn" was
asked.
1T certairly does not" replied Mr. Sea-
bury.
Can a deputy marshal from Brooklyn
arrest your client in Manhattan without
further proceedings?"
He cannot"
Youngs' Comment.
When District Attorney Youngs was
shown the statement he was willing to COM
ment only on one feature of it.
There is nothing irres ular in the finding
of an Indictment without a preliminary
hearing or without informing an accused
person. It is done almost every day in the
year in the United States courts, and very
frequently in the state courts. The whole
proceeding is entirely regular and not out
OF the ordinary. No solid criticism can be
urged against 1t.
of the charge against him he is only half
mile away and the fare Is but 5 cents. He
the indictments If he comes to this
o'Hce, but he has no right to them If he
stays in Manhattan. l suppose he is dis
posed to take advantage of technicalities,
but 1 hardly think he Will help his case by
obstructive tactics. 1t is fact, of course,
that 1t is as hard to get him from Manhat-
tan In a legal sense as from Alaska"
Neither District Attorney Youngs nor
anybody in his office would say whether ap-
plication has been made to General Bur-
nett for a warrant for Manhattan.
II don't why the district attorney of
the southern district should be compelled
to try Indictment found in the eastern
district he said
The fact that Beavers would seek to avoid
arrest in Brooklyn borough has been print
ed in The Evening Star. The statement
was made on informa ton that he would
seek hearing in Manhattan with the OBJ
ject of trying to discover what evidence
there is against him.
You said you would wait reasonable
time for Beavers to surrender himself.
What is reasonable timer was asked of
District Attorney Young.
What any reasonable man would con-
slider a reasonable time Colonel
YOungs' answer.
