The matter was also laid before District
Attorney Jerome. Neither Mr.. Osborne
ceedings to begin which would affect
case on trial in the civil courts. A great
many answers to Mr.. Shelby's advertise
ment were received. They were Of
nature which satisfied Mr.. Osborne, Mr..
Shelby. and to certain extent Mr. Jerome,
that Lewis Jarvis had consumed large
quantities Of that Tiffany stationery, and
that he was very shrewd. sane business
man.
The former associates and friends OF
L. kxal nit RI
were asked whether they regarded MI. Wickes
a. sane All Of them did. 1t was suggested
TO those who still seemed to have some
consideration for him that it would be
we'll IL there we're any doubts as to his
sanity, to have them made certain before
came Of that.
0RINNEIL CASE DROPPED.
Mr.. Osborne introduced the Jarvis letters
relai ing to the Grinnell case IN court in
that case before Justice Greenbaum last
Friday, and had them marked as evidence
case was resumed on Monday Mr.. Wickes
was not present. Mr.. O'Sullivan, the re-
naming lawyer for DR.. Grinnel and DR..
Grinnell both said that they had no knowl,
edge OF the things that Mr.. Wickes had
been doing, and begged leave to drop the
suit with a promise that it should never
be commenced again. To this MIR. Os-
borne, after stating to the Court that he
had not the slightest shadow of doubt OF
the entire freedom of Mr.. O'Sulivan and
DIR. Grinnell from any completely IN the
Vaccinations of Wickes, consented.

proceedings. Mr. jerome had turned the

to call upon him concerning a matter
Reputation. Mr., Wickes replied that he
hadn't time. Yesterday he was brought

! ALI. THAT MR.. wICKEs WOULD SAY ABOUT 1T.
Before he left the Criminal Courts build
Il have always been frank and open in
all my relations with everybody. and
, would prefer to be SO now. But my situa-
ton is difficult and ! feel that this is not
the time for me to talk Later may pre-
say that laid the matter freely before the
Grand Jury, and that, in spite Of their con-
clusion, 1 am sure that l have committed
no crime"
III was learned tnat Nlckes, IN tne course
of the Investigations of his conduct, had
been at the District Attorneys Office before
in the course of the last ten days When
one Of the letters signed Lewis Jarvis and
having nothing to do with the Grinnell-
Weston suit was shown to him. he said:

agreed with his partner. Edward s. Hatch,
with whom he had offices at 100 Broadway
and at So Liberty street. and dissolution
Of the partnership was threatened, Mr.
Hatch received a number Of letters from
Lewis Jarvis telling him what fine man
Thomas Parmalee Wickes was and how
highly Jarvis thought Of him. There we're
rulnors at the Criminal Courts building
yesterday that Mr. Hatch was vaguely
for him if he aroused the enmity OF one so
intimately acquainted with his affairs as
Mr.. Jarvis knew Mr.. Wickes to be.

to have shown to client, woman, letter

had conducted the woman's affairs and
also asking for a large slim Of money for
assistance given to Mr. Wickes In the case.

him and that any statement regarding the
case must come from him. Mr.. Hedges
