Indictment charging her jointly with her
brother-in-law and sister, Mr.. and Mrs.

for whose murder she is to be tried again
on Monday It had not been expected
that the former chorus girl would be ta-

charge was completed When Lawyer
Levy's request to be allowed to inspect
the Grand Jury minutes without formal
~ notifying the District Attorney that

case at present is Hyman Stern, the
pawlbroker, in whose shop the pistol was

Stern was present yesterday when the

dietment Of conspiracy, and he had a
good look II the man. He would not
say. afterward however, whether or not
he bad succeeded in identifying him.
Conflicting rumors were afioat in the

pends in large part the success of the
prosecutions case.
The two sisters met in the Tombs yes
terday for the first time since, the day
Young was killed. They are trying, with
the aid Of their father, John Randolph

MERELY
MENTIONED D

Foreman Walshied, of the Grand Jury,
played detective yesterday ana succeeded
in locating one of the poolrooms with
which this city, according 10 Rev. John
Il. Scudder, is infested. He had no diff
iculty convincing the lookout thatrhe
was .'all right and was soon in the
midst of a hundred or more men who
were falling over each other in rheir eff
forts to place bets on horses they were
certain would win. Unknown to the
poolroom attaches or the patrons Fore
man Walshied fingered long enough 70
place a bet himself Then having OBJ
tanned all the information necessary as
well as evidence on which to base a raid,
he walked around the corner to Police
Headquarters and told Chief Murphy his
experience. In less than FIVE minutes
time Capt. Cody acting under instruc-
tons from the Chief, with a dozen of his
titNa, leu 'DtiAtSlSu uoNH lttS uOVtS VI tiF-
poolroom and had captured seven Of the
men employed in different capacities.
Later the reputed proprietor was taken
into custody. The raid was a complete
success. Foreman Walsehied was inn
mensely pleased and so were the police.
For long time the police hai been en-
deavoring TO get evidence against the
pooIroom and they expressed delighs
when they learned that Foreman Wal
schied had succeeded in finding his way
into the resort. How he managed 70
catch the lookout off his guard is a
mystery TO them. They could not do it.
But then it must be remembered that
Foreman Walschied comes from Union
Hill and looks like ready money!
