The grand jury which has been invesu-
eating affairs on BlackwelPs Island VIII
finish the inquiry into the death OF Frank
willis. negro prisoner in the peniten-
tiary, to-day. An indictment for man
slaughter is expected within a week
Warden Hayes appeared again yester-
day with some OF his records. This
time he had the remainder OF the letter
book from which he tore a sheet to show
the grand Jurors on Tuesday. and some
OF his time sheets. When the grand
jurors interpreted the time sheets to show
that the warden didn't come TO work
until noon, he was said to BIO quite vexed.
Again the warden did not seem to have
Just the records the grand Jury wanted,
and he had some difficulty accounting for
the number of men In the workshop at
various times and describing their work.
The grand jury gathered the impression.
Il is said, that for the last five years a
varying number OF prisoners had been at
work upon bureau for the warden 3
bedroom and that the bureau WASH I
finished yet. Warden Hayes will bring
some more records.
The grand Jury will adjourn for a week
to-day, and Mr.. Du Vivier will devote tho
time to whipping into shape the evidence
he has gathered. The evidence in his
hands tends to show that officials and
employees may have profited by padding
the citys bills.

Helen Miller Gould. will celebrate the

When Mr. and Mrs. Shepard were mar
ried. one year ago to-day. the Bowery
celebrated the event at dinner provid-
ed by the bride. of which one thousand
partook. In addition TO the dinner to-
night. free beds will be furnished TO
two hundred OF the diners. Although
Hadley Rescue Hall has accommodations
for only forty men. Assistant Superin-
tendent Smith said last night that ar
rapgements had been effected with sew
eral lodging houses along the Bowery to
provide rooms for the two hundred.
Before her marriage and afterward
Mrs. Shepard displayed a lively interest
in Hadley Rescue Hall, as well as in
numerous other institutions doing a sim
liar work. In fact. she often attends
service at the Hadley. but remains In
the background. and few OF the men
present know that one who has done
much TO make their lot easier is among
them.
