and Ridicues His Ripping Things Open n'-Asserts
Scheme Against Homes Has Back Fired

Mitchell, Mr.. kingsbury and their as
sociates determined 10 secure informs-

the force of the pamphlets. Mr.. Mitchell
did not burglarize the premises Of
Father Farrell and DR.. Potter. but he
did order their wires covered. In his
anxiety to promote his cause he for
got he was breaking the law. No doubt
he keenly regrets his action. Not so
much because others have suffered
through it, but because he has been
discovered in his dark and secret
work.
Catholics Audited Books.
"The Catholic institutions Of New
York and Brooklyn engaged the firm
Of Paterson, Teale & Dennis to audit
their books to prove to Mayor Mitchell
that the money received TO care for
children committed to them was prop
erly and Justly spent. No trace OF any
$4,000 fund was found The New York
Archdiocese paid this firm $50 ,90S.95,
and the Brooklyn Diocese paid $23,37s,
making a total OF ss3,1S694. Every
penny was accounted for. and the
sacred cause OF investigation" was
seemingly satisfied.
at is really noble OF the Mayor to
attack the memory of man who un-
selfishly spent himself for the poor and
yretched OF this city. Mr.. Mtchel bent
every effort years ago to establish the
existence Of this fund of which he now
spcaks, bu. without success, though the
entire machinery of the city was used
for the purpose. He knows this fact,

A little before noon yesterday Chari-
ties Commissioner King.bury and Will
lam II. Hotchkis., special counsel to

for ten days in which to demur or
change the plea. After a clash be-
tween District Attorney Lewis and Mr.
Lit,leton the court granted the request.
Tapping Not Always Bad.
In handing up the indictments the
grand jury filed a presentment with
tho court. declaring that while wire
tapping by the police was justifiable
under certain conditions, it believed
"this great power had been abused in
this instance"
II proceeds to say that IL the Mayor
and the Police Commissioner approved
Of the conduct of the indicted, for
no other purpose than to furnish coun-
sci in private and personal litigation
with information and to crafty private
curiosity, the conduct of the
