About Plenty's Check, VIII Plead
GuiIty--Yarn That Deyery'll Drop Pal.

Guilty-Yarn That DeyeryIl Drop Pal.
The Grand Jury considered the newest
revelations about Sam Parks, yesterday,
with view to finding an indictment for
perjury against Parks, based on his testi-
mony in his trial before Recorder Golf.
Parks swore that he never met Josephus
Plenty, who had testified that he got a
check cashed for Parks at Lynchs saloon
in Third avenue by Bernard Lynch, who
gave the money to Henry Farley for Parks
in Parks's presence.
Farley, who denied having received the
check, having given it to Parks, or that it
was cashed for Parks's benefit, has now
confessed and corroborated Plenty's story.
So has Bernard Lynch, who is under indict-
ment for perjury. Lynch will plead guilty
on Wednesday in General Sessions, before
Judge Foster, who is expected to suspend
sentence. 1t is expected that an indict-
ment will be found against Parks for per-
jury and handed to Judge Foster on that
day.
Lynch has told Assistant District At
torney Rand that after he went before the
Grand Jury the first time and told his story
he met Parks, Farley, another labor dele
gate and a lawyer retained by Parks, and
they together framed up a deal by which
Lynch went TO the District Attorney the
next day and said he had been mistaken In
bis testimony of the day before.
He was again taken before the Grand
Jury, which was asked TO indict him for
perjury The Grand Jury was loath to
do that, and wanted first to give him every
chance. He was questioned over and
over about the transaction in his saloon
4 l. Il but l,n
conspirators, and the Grand Jury indicted
him. An investigation is now being made
by the Grand jury, it is said, aimed at the
other walking delegate.
The District Attorney has been unable
to get W. 4. d. Stokes to tell what he knows
about bride taking by walking delegates
Mr. Stokes. it is said. has admitted to Mr..
Rand that he gave up more than $4,000
to get his Ansonia apartment house built
and has said that he really finally owned "
the walking delegate of every union which
had men on the job
In order to have his building completed
Mr. Stokes had to get his material from
New Jersey between ! and o'clock in a, ne ne
morning and secrete it in place from which
it was brought by the men at work on his
building. Mr.. Stokes now says that he
feels grateful at being able to get his build
ing completed at all, that he is not going TO
complain about any one, and that IN a
way, he considers the mercenarV Walking
| delegates his friends, even though he had
| to buy them.
Mr. Rand said Yesterday that he con-
sdered Delegate Farley such liar as to
be unable to tell the truth even when he
wants to, and that it will probably take a
| long time to corroborate the story he told
| in his confession about Parks.
1t was rumored in the Criminal Courts
Building yesterday, but warmly denied,
that W. S. Devery, candidate for Mayor,
story was that Tammany Hall now has
Parks and his followers in its train. and
that John j. Byrne, Devery's nephew and
Parks's bondsman, is thinking about sur
rendering Parks and letting him get another
bondsman. Devery said last night that
| this was all dream.
