COURT ALLOWS DELAY
Former President May Appeal
Entire Case to Avoid
Testifying.

Assemhlyman Louis Goldstein. who
has just been appointed 4 special as
sistant Dlstrict-Attorney for Kings
County that he may assist in the Grand
Jury probe pf the tangled affairs of the
Union Bank, has objected to the pres
ence on the jury OF two memlcrs, and
has announced hat he will not serve
unless they resign.
The two jurymen to whom Mr.. Gold
stein objects are John +. Gels, secre-
tary OF the Brooklyn League, who is
the foreman, M Charles Rather OF No.
10 Powell street. Goldstein bases his
objection on the allegation that they
are personally acquainted with Edward
NJ. Groet and other officers % the
bank.
There is no way in which the Jurymen
can be f1rcibly removed from the
Grand Jury. The matter has been put
up to them privately and they nave
stated that they will decide within
twenty-four hours as to whsther they
will resign or not.
Former President Grout obtained
still more delay to-day In connection
with the proceedings which are being
brought to compel him 10 testify be-
fore Deputy State Banking Superinten-
dent William Lane Dodge. who Is in
pestigating the banks affairs.
Justice Putnam OF the supreme Court
granted an order to show cause why
an appeal OF the whole case should not
be allowed. The order is r%eturnable on
Friday morning. Justice Putnam had
previously directed Mr.. Grout to appear
before Mr.. Dodge. but had allowed him

ANOTHER MAN HELD
FOR CARRYING REVOLVER.

Another man was arrested to-day by
tho police for carrying concealed
under circumstances which
Magistrate Harris later admitted seemed
justlflable. but which, under the new
sullivan law. provide no adequate ey-
Cuse. He was John schmidt Of Red
Bank, y. j., a chauffeur employed by
George II. Patterson of that place.
Early this morning Schmidt brought
back a party OF theatrical people from
Red Bank. including William a. Brady.
the producer. and Katherine Gray.
They had been in attendance at the
first production OF a new play In that
town. on his way back Schmidt
stopped his car at the Cortlandt street
ferry-house and Policeman Roth. sta
toned at that point, engaged him in
conversation by accident.
Roth noticed a revolver holster fast
ened around Schmidt's body md asked
him II he carried n gun. Schmidt said
car and found a revolver in the tool
box. lie Immediately arrested the
chauffeur.
In the Centre street police station
Schmidt told Magistrate Harris that ne
| carried the revolver for self-protection.
"The Jersey roads are lonely and iny
brother was recently held up" said he.
Il think YOU are justified in carrying
a revolver" replied the Magistrate.
but when you get into this State you've
got to get rid of It. I'll have to hold
YOU under $500 bail for trial"

sat down with his back to me and refused to
talk, even when he got chance.
Referring to this Morton said, "You re-
member when she was sobbing over there
on the sofa and you all got very still, and,
although she was such a spiteful thing, you
began to be very sorry for her and think that
she really was unhappy? Well, all the time
she was giving me the wink and chewing gum.
She does it easily-just like this" And he
gave a very clever imitation of sobbing,
which is a peculiarly difficult thing to do.
TT is curious how an actor will get good
= line by accident. There was part of
this sketch where my husband, having de-
cided that | had been sufficiently punished
and not knowing that | was really fooling,
would lift me up and pet me- He used to
raise me off my knees and take me up and
hug me and make sound like a mother
hushing child, and would finish by crying
on his shoulder. 1t was the only moment
during the whole twenty minutes that got
a chance for rest or really to get my breath.
| was acting the whole time, and some nights
was SO exhausted that my mind, as well as
my body, would relax.
On this particular night | simply could
not think of the next line, and whispered to
him, @What is my line?" As he never ex-
pected such thing, he had no idea of what

all. He is just poor actor on small salary.
She hardly speaks to him except to come on
the stage and talk to him like that. You
take that from me- incidentally, | never
give the character, my husband, chance
to speak during the entire sketch. Il sup
pose YOU know that the reason he didn't an
swer back and tell her few truths was not
Just because he was a nice man and thought
it was the quickest way out of row to keep
still but because, as a matter of fact, he IS
a dumb man. They just got this thing up,
and this dumb fellow can earn living, and
that S about all. You know that pin he gave
her that she made such a fuss about, and
talked about Tiffany and all that? That's
not real piece of jewelry. They bought it
around here at the ten-cent store. And let
me tell you something else. When she kissed
him and all that at the end, and said she was
so happy, and threw her arms round his
neck, she said behind his ear, If you play
like this again, you'll be dismissed! heard
her say that. So when he comes on again
you want to give him few hands, no matter
how badly he does it. because he is just about
going to get the icy mitt if you don't play up
and make her think he is great stuff And
all without a particle of preparation!
In one part of the speech had been sob
bing for sometime. My husband had be-
come SO angry at my conduct that he simply
