WHY BEAVERS IS AT LARGE.
SUGGESTED THAT IT'S BECAUSE
GOVERNMENTS CASE IS WEAK.
District Attorney YOungs Stiil Quiescent
and Beavers Remains on the safe Side
Of the Brldge-NOthins 10 Be Done
Until Grand Jury Meets To-day.

District Attorney Yourgs of the Eastern
Federal District and George W. Beavers
the former Post Office official indicted in
Brooklyn for postal frauds, were still en-
gagged in playing tag with each other yes
terday on different sides Of the East River
The District Attorney showed no sign
yesterday that he had decided to come
over and take Mr. Beavers at the risk OF
having his case partly disclosed in a pre-
liminary examination before a Federal
Commissioner in this district, and Mr.
Beavers gave no indication that he was
going over the Bridge to lose the adj
vantage of such an examination.
Mr. Beavers spent some time at the Office
of his counsel Morgan Seabury, yester-
day talking over his case. Mr.. Seabury
said his clients offer of surrenderlng
himself to the Federal authorities in this
district held good. Mr.. Seahury further
said that Mr. Beavers felt perfectly free
"a go anywhere outside of Manhattan Island
except Brooklyn. His temporary residence
in Manhattan ia kept secret
Mr. Youngs refused to discuss Beavers s
case yesterday beyond saying that moth
ing would be done until after the Grand
Jury shall meet to-day. There was some
talk Yesterday of more indictments beng
forthcoming The Grand jury is expected
to sit the rest of the week, and it was said
that probably the investigation Of Post
Office cases would be resumed, Mr.. tOungs s
course in regard to Beavers is said TO have
the support of the Washington authori-
ties. II has created a suspicion that the
Governments case is not very strong
District Attorney Burnett OF this district
said yesterday that were Beavers bona
fide resident OF Manhattan he would GER
tainly have the right to preliminary ex-
animation
For that reason" said Gen. Burnett,
"if it is decided to arrest Beavers here
and examine him before one of our Com
missioners, il will not be necessary TO have
any more than a formal examination, and
Immediately upon proof of his indictment
| think a Commissioner would send nm
to Brooklyn
WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Post Office De-
partment officials are looking for an agree
ment between District Attorney Youngs
Of Brooklyn and counsel for Beavers, which
will relieve the present embarrassing situa :
ton caused by Beavers S refusal to submit
TO arrest in Brooklyn.
An effort is being made at the Post Office
Dep rtment to make II appear that Beav-
ers's refusal to leave the borough of Man
haitian can be construed to his dis advantage
when he comes to trial. and il is frequently
rema ked by officials that Beavers il even
now a fugitive from justice. Notwith-
standing this air of assurance, some of the
officials are inclined to look upon the matter
more seriously.
1t was admitted this afternoon that
District Attorney Youugs is pursuing a
most unusual course in not Immediately

HINT AT GREAT LABOR GRAFT
UNION TREASURES Defence
on LARCENY CHARGE!
Suppose IL Was Blood Money ExtOrted
From Employers and Divided That
Murphy OF the Stonecutters Helped
Himself TO?-fiis Counsel Asks This.

Lawrence Murphy, well-known labor
union man, who for many years was treas
urer Of the Journeymen Stonecutters'
Union, was put on trial yesterday in the
General Sessions on a charge of embezzllng
between $4,000 and 1900 of the union 8
funds.
John f. Mcintyre, Murphy's lawyer,
insisted upon having panel of special
jurors to try Murphy, whose contention
is that he is charged with stealing money
which the union or certain members of it
had extorted from employers,
Suppose" said Mr.. Mcintyre, question
ing the first talesman called, suppose
that in the course of this trial it shall be
shown that the defendant was present at
a meeting held in barroom when reso-
luton was passed to assess owners and
Builders all the way from $4,000 to $50, 600
under threats of calling strikes and that
the money so raised was divided in a saloon;
suppose this ST., 600 or more, which this
defendant is accused of Withholding, came
into his hands as treasurer and he held it
until the question of title could be settled,
not knowing whom it legally belonged to,
would you, under such circumstances, be
prejndiced against this defendants!
NO." answered the talesman, but he
had to step down when the prosecutor
Assistant District Attorney Mott, chal-
lenged him.
Another question asked the talesmen
by Mr.. Mcintyre was this
Suppose the money was never legally
in the possession of the defendant as treas
urer. and the defendant spent it for his
own use: would You consider him guilty
If charged with stealing it?"
Yes" was the answer given in most
cases to this question. Each talesman
was asked if he would be prejudced against
the defendant if the defendant did not
take the witness stand because he believed
that he might be questioned by the District
Attorney on matters which he did not
wish TO reveal, and which might result in
his arrest on another charge.
MIR Mott in questioning the talesmen
framed his questions so as to intimate
that it mattered not whether the defendant
had secured the money for the union by
improper methods for if the money was
in Mrrphy's possession as treasurer of the
union and he refused To give it up 10 a
properly appointed committee Of the union
he was guilty of larceny.
Ten jurors We're secured yesterday.
