 Home to Be Sold, 1t Is Said.
 Detectives who were sent to Ruth erford. N. J.. by MT. Jerome reported at midnight that the doctor had not been seen there since New Years. He was the owner of one of the finest res idences there, and it was said last night that the place was about to be sold by the Sheriff The doctors son. who is a lawyer, was last seen in Rutherford a month ago.
 It became known last night for the first time why Mrs. Cornelia Storrs, wido wof Deputy, Comptroller Storrs, of this city. had gone on Dr. Flowers bond for s23.000. It was said that Mrs. Storrs was absolutely unsecured by Dr. Flower for the amount named in the bail bonds. and that she will lose the money. Mrs. Storrs invested s300,000 in the mining enterprises Of which Dr. Flower was the promoter. and hoping to save some of the mon ey. had been induced to become sure ty for the accused physician.
 The five indictments for grand lar ceny against Dr. Flower were drawn on the complaints of Herbert A. But trick. Alden Solmans, H. c. Woodruff. s. Tredwell Woolley and Mrs. Bell Gray-Taylor. At the beginning of the May term of the recorders court the doctors trial was set down peremp- torily for this morning. Jchn R. Dos Passes and Howe & Hummel were to represent him. There are hundreds of other complaints on file in the Dis trict Attorneys office. None of these additional cases had, however. been presented to the grand jury for action Late yesterday afternoon MT. Gar van consulted with Howe & Hummel and learned that Dr. Flower could not i be found. MT. Garvan had insisted upon knowing upon which of the in- dictments the defendant would care to go to trial. Then Mir Jerome gave instructions to have all five indict- men;s called. and to ask Recorder Golf to issue a bench warrant.
 The Flower case has been one of the most expensive of MT. Jeromes admin. istration. Thousands of dollars have been expended in the preparation of the trials, and it has been necessary to send commissions to take testi- mony in Arizona, Montana and the State of Washington. A large mum Der of witnesses from the West and Southwest who were interested ir Flowers schemes have been brought to this city at large expense.
 Dr. Flower was the promoter of the Arizona Eastern and Montana Ore De | velopment Mining company H. agreed to pay dividends of per cent a month, and these dividends were paid regularly while new subscribers were forthcoming, and when they dropped off this and other companies organized by the doctor went into Iq uidation The subscriptions which Dr. Flower received amounted to s2, 000,00 Mrs. Stoors must forfeit the bail of $23.000, and will lose s100, ,00' which she invested in the Trique Min ling company and s200,000 which she invested in the Blue Ridge Mining 1 coyaranSA g
