Richard A McCurdy and Mrs. McCurdy and
Louis g. Thebaud and Mrs. Thebaud left Nor
ristown. N. j.. last night and boarded the Ham
burg-American steamship Amerika at It's pier
at Hoboken- Several servants accompanied
them. The Amerika sails at O'Clock this
morning
When the carriage containing the McCurdys
and the Thebauds arrived at the pier a reporter
tried to obtain Interview with Mr. McCurdy

was held In $500 bail Word was sent to Mr..
McCurdy and Mr.. Thebaud The former re-
fused TO be seen. but Mr. Thebaud came out
ana said that he was sorry. but that they
didn't have $500 with them to put up as bail
Mr. Thebaud said IL would be impossible for
either him Mr.. McCurdy to appear In court
this morning, as the ship sailed at o'clock
So far as could be learned yesterday no at
tempt will be made either by District Attorney
Jerome. who has had a grand jury looking into
insurance cases. or by the Mutual Life trustees
who propose TO bring suits against both McCurdy
and Thebaud for the restitution of large sums
10 prevent their sailing
At Mr.. McCurdys home. in Franklin-st Nor
ristown, 1T was said that enough servants had
been kept to keep the place in order and that
the silverware and china had been placed in the
vaults OF the MorristOwn Safe Deposit Com
pany- The Thebaud place was also placed in
the hands Of caretakers pending negotiations
for its sale by New-York real estate dealers.
The District Attorney did not ask the Febru-
ary grand jury. which has just ended it's labors.
to hand down any indictments. It is not be-
lieved that the affairs of the Mutual Life have
been more than referred to in the grand jury
room as yet. as the time OF the jury has been
taken up with the Mutual Reserve and other
cases. Unless indictments had been found il is
not likely that Mr.. Jerome would attempt to stop
the sailing of the former Mutual officials.
At the Mutual Life Building yesterday it was
said that there was no apprehension that either
Mr.. McCurdy or Mr.. Thebeau was sailing TO
avoid the civil suits which the company is bring

its name from the fact that the German Emperor
has the privilege OF using it whenever he cares
to travel on the Amerika 1t Is said that the
party will have their meals served In a private
dining room Mr.. McCurdys health has i'm
proved greatly and IL will not be necessary for
him to be accompanied by a physician. Moth

his European trip. but 1t is likely that he will
