ARE SEARCHING
FOR STUBBERT
District Attorney Of New
York Orders Him Arrested
and Put in TOmbs.
LIKELY THIS AFTERNOON
Detective Kenny Will Disre-
gard Injunction of Justice
EnqIe Served Last Night.

1t is now the obvious intention of
the New York city authorities to
catch the elusive Or" James Ed
ward Stubbert, wanted in Middlesex
county on a charge of practising
medicine in this city without IL
cense, and remand him to the
Tombs regardless of any injunction
or other legal action the alleged
fake doctor" may take to evade
the clutches of the law and the
courts of justice. District Attorney
Whitmore, of New York city, has
instructed his men to arrest Stub
bert on sight, and put him in the
Tombs, despite the fact that an in
junction of restraint was served last
ni.ilt on officer Kenny, a Central
etfice man, by the legal representa-
&tiyes Of CDR" Stubbert.
Working With PeItier.
Detective Kenny, who is attached
to the Twenty-third Precinct, Man
haitian, has been working on the
case In connection with County De-
tective Richard A. Peltier, of this
city, since Thursday, when Stubbert
Jumped his $1,000 bail bond and
did not appear in court for the pur-
pose of changing his permanent
residence from the Tombs, New
York city, to the county jail, New
Brunswick Detectives Kenny and
Peltier have been narrowing the
trail to such an extent, it is said,
that the political friends of Stub
bert In New York city scurried
around for a legal means to offset
the activities of the representatives
OF the law.
The injunction, signed by Justice
Engle, of the Appellate division of
the New York Supreme court, was
served last night on officer Kenny
and restrained him from taking
Stubbert out Of New York state;
also, another clause asked why the
doctor" should not be admitted TO
bail pending disposition of the
case. No injunction was served up
on Detective Peltier, as he Is I'M
able. under the law, to make an ar
rest IN another state other than New
Jersey District Attorney Whit

morning, however, and instructed
him to continue his vigorous search
for Stubbert, arrest him If possible,
