TRUCE GIVES SIEGEL
FIVE DAYS IN LONDON
Continued from page 1

terially injured the chances of securing
terms for him.
Mr.. Mayors answers to questions last
night indicate that, whatever they and
Vogel may eventually decide TO do, no
money will be forthcoming for the de-
positors in the Siegel bank until after
Siegel returns from his trip. That they
will do something for the 1900 vic
Tins is almost assured, but it is not un-
likely that whatever money is paid
over will be paid over with the distinct
understanding that it is on account OF
Vogel alone and represents the efforts
of his family and friends TO reimburse
those who lost money through his con-
nections with Siegel.
The truce, so far as the proceedings
to arrest Siegel are concerned, was ar
ranged after Messrs. Stanchfield and
Levy had received reply to the wire
less message sent to Siegel on Monday
night asking what ship he intended TO
return on. This answer was received:
Leave steamer at Plymouth. Re
turn Olympic GOTH
Siegel, therefore, should be In New
York on May 26, seventeen days Grom
the time he left. On his landing it is
expected that District Attorney Whit
man will ask that he furnish additional
bail and that the new bond contain
stipulation that he shall not leave
this jurisdiction again without notify
ing his bondsmen and the District At
torneys office, and in addition report
TO the latter's office daily unless other
wise arranged.
For Siegels trial and that Of his part
ner, Frank r. Vogel. Mr.. Whitman VIII
ask that a special panel be called, from
which to select a jury TO try one case
against them Immediately after the Beck
er case is disposed of, assuming that
Judge blanchard will not grant the
change Of venue.
In his argument on the motion lot
change of venue yesterday Mr.. Stanch-
field laid stress on the large NUMBER OF
persons who have a grievance against the
prisoners and what he termed the vicious
/ campaign conducted against them by the
/ newspapers. Mr. Stanchfield declared
| that his clients had been held up TO ridi-
/ Guile, hatred and contempt by cartoons IN
The Tribune, "The World" and Life,
/ the latter publication appealing to anti
/ SeInitism in its drawings.
Mr. whitman maintained that II was
absolutely certain that twelve men could
be selected IN New York who would give
the defendants a fair trial. Nearly one
half of the circulation Of the publications
complained Of. he said. Is outside OF The
greater city, while metropolitan residents
take less stock IN sensational reports
than country readers do.
Mr.. Train went on to say that only
after five months work. with the assist
| ance OF two firms of expert accountants
had he been enabled thoroughly TO grasp
the case IN its various details.
