terday that he is not far away from his home. at
No go Henry street, Brooklyn. At the Central
Office little hope entertained however, that
they would be able to show Snow the warrant
Tor his arrest on the charge of grand larceny
which was issued by Justice Dixie on Friday.
Though Snow is not far from Brooklyn, he is
beyond the Jurisdiction of District Attorney
Clarke and the Kings County Grand Jury. His
failure to return home since Thursday is said TO
be owing to inklng received by him and his
friends that the grand jury about to take
the matter up Acting the advice Of his
friends, who have been trying to raise funds to
meet his Indebtedness of some s1s0,000 to the
telephone company. Snow left Brooklyn before
the grand jury had chance to act The failure
of the police to find him is accounted for by the
promises made by his friends that Snow would
appear in court answer the charges made in
the indictment. but he is in retirement pending
their efforts to fix bail for the temporary fugitive
from Justice
The telephone company officials showed re-
luctance in pressing charges against Snow, and
would probably have relied upon Shows expressed
intention to make good every dollar OF his IN
debtedness had not District Attorney Clarke
taken the matter in hand and summoned Union
y. Bethel, the president, and Alexander Cameron
the counsel of the company, before him on Fri
day morning. When their testimony IN reference
the theft Of the s29, 600 of telephone company
bonds December 81 by Snow was told to the
grand jury the indictment returned SHOWS

ances that the amount would be suhiclent 10

AS the telephone company's officials have she"n
reluctance in pushing the charges. 1t Is hkely
that the figure mentioned for bail may be agreed
upon and that Snow viii return 10 Brooklyn
