NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Gen. Daniel
Sickles was saved from going to Jail
for debt at the last minute today
when his lawyer, Daniel H. Hayes, in
formed Sheriff julius Hamburger he
had secured bond of $4,000 for the
aged warrior to cover his indebted
ness to the state. Gen. Sickles faced
the possibility of being placed in pris-
on pending the payment of $4,000,
which he owes the New York State
Monument commission, on an order
of arrest issued Saturday. MIR. Hayes
didn't make known the bondsman, but
it was believed that Stanton Sickles,
son, and the wife of the aged war
rior, from whom he is separated, had
rallied to his aid
The financial difficulties of Gen
Sickles, who is almost the last one OF
the Union Major-Generals, have fallen
thick and fast. 1t started when the
Lincoln Trust company seized his wal
relics on a judgment for $4,000 The
sale was averted. In October a suit
of August Heckscher on a note fol
$4,000 was filed. Then came the fore
closure proceedings of the Bowery
Bank The war relics were seized in
October again on judgment fol
$5,050 of the Bank of the Metropolis
and Mrs. Sickles saved them.
On top of all this came the disclos
ure that he had failed to account fol
all the funds turned over to him by
the State to mark New York's partici
patton in the great battles of the civi
war
Elbridge l.. Adams, the referee ap
pointed to compute the amount o
principal and interest due on two
mortgages held by the Bowery Saw
. ings Bank on the property of Gen
Sickles at IL Fifth avenue, filed hi
report Saturday, stating that tn,
amount due is S91,Ss3. The mortgages
amount to sSS,000 and interest at Al.
per cent. is due from February, 1912

Many more arrests We're made today

placed about the jails to prevent aid
being given the prisoners. Extra pre-

was not enacted until August, 1894.
