CIRCUIT NOW RETURNS
CROPSEY BROADSIDE
Complains to Brooklyn Bar AS
SOciation Of Alleged False
Statements.

Ex-Cty Comptroller Edward NJ Grout,
who succeeded David A. sullivan as
president OF the Union Bank and was in
dcted for perjury after the second col
lapse of that Institution, made public
yesterday a statement to Edgar NJ. CuI-
len of the Brooklyn Rar Association IN
which he said that certain references to
his case which were made by District At
torney Cropsey OF Kings county and we're
being investigated by a special committee
, of the bar association were false in
their entirety"
This threatens to make q three cor
nered affair OF an investigation which was
begun merely to determine whether MIR.
Cropsey had used good taste IN speak
| ing OF certain Kings County Judges as
! hand picked and a. the LAP friends
= OF Mr.. Grout Mr.. Cropscy Insisted that
IL wasn't question of good taste at all,
but one of Justification. and offered to
prove by documentary evidence that he
was right Tho committee decided to
weigh the merits of his contention and
TO study his proofs. Now Mr.. Grout de-
I mands that his side of the case he heard,
Mr. Grout makes II plain that he ~
not defending the Judges, but himself
He cites instances to show That the
Kings County Judges have frequently
A''l'ltu against nun NIlflt Nv 'sul' H'A'l'
them as a litlgant. lie denies that any
of those mentioned by Mr.. Cropsey are
his bosom" friends and asserts that
the District Attorney attacks every Judge
who does not give him the better OF a
decision. lie also holds that MI CropSeN =
remarks are injurious to him IN tho effect
they may have upon the Judge and jury
before whom he Will be tried.
In begging the committee 70 take IN
his side Of the controversy Mr.. Grout goes
eXhaustivcly into the history OF the case,
telling how he was indicted for an
/ alleged misdemeauor in overstating the
loans and discounts Of the bank by s25c,-
/ 600 IN a total Of some s5.0oo.noo and wac
parolled by County Judge Dixie. Then. on
/ the District Attorneys refusal to civ"
4 him a bill Of particulars he applied TO SUI
preme Court Justice Marean for redress.
I The Justice. now retired. refused 10 grant
! all that Mr.. Grout asked. but did strike
: out part OF the indictment on the
ground that Il was vaEu, and indefinite.
After this MIR circuit WIS indicted on
tho charge OF perjury. Mr. Cropsey held

tically rendered void by emtscu'at.on ri

Commissioner Wallstcin Fore

FEARS GIVING IMMUNITY

Commissioner Of Accounts Leonard NJ.

Half dozen deaths in which there Is
strong evidence Of wrongdoiug by Cor
oner have not been touched ON in the
public Investigation Of the Coroners cnice,
II became known yesterday. That the
Coroner concerned will not he questioned
about these cases Is also considered GER
tainty For this there are two reasons.
one reason is that examination OF the
Coroner by Commissioner Wallstein would
almost surely give him immunity from
criminal prosecution. of which there is
said to be a distinct possibility. The
immunity obtained from the Commits
sioners examination extends only 20 the
cases In regard to which a Coroner is
questioned.
A second reason given for not disclos-
ing these cases at the present time -
the shortness Of popular memory. u VIII
