ment. stronger even than that of six
counts which the Westchester County
grand Jury voted last Tuesday, Mr.,
Weeks expects to bring Mr.. osborne
to trial within a month.
MIR. Weeks refused to divulge the
nature of the new evidence ne mas
gathered and which no believes VIII
persuade the grand jury TO vote
stronger indictment soon after 1t re-
assemblies next week, but Il is said
that II involves the warden personally,
and will apply to the sixth. count of
the mtsmanagement indictment, which
charged immortality.
II was because of this new evidence
that Mr. Osborne was una BILE TO plead
to the original indictments, which he
went to White Plains today from Au-
burn to do. For the same reason
George Gordon Battle was denied ac-
cess to the grand jury minutes to pre-
pare a defense. Sc Mr., Osborne went
to Sing Sing TO talk with Warden
Kirchwey.
There Is possibility that Mr.. Os-
horne's visit TO the prison may have
stirred up more trouble for him, as
Superintendent of Prisons Riley as
sured Mr. Weeks that the former
warden would not he allowed to go
to the prison. Dean kirChwey said,
however. that he had received no such
order from Superintendent Riley. and
that he would, OF course, obey such an
order.
Consulted by New Warden.
3fr. Osborne had lunch with Dean
kirchwey and was consulted by the
new warden in regard TO matters of
prison policy. Dean Kirchwey said
afterward that he would consult Mr.
Osborne frequently in such matters.
There was an affectionate greeting
between MIR. Osborne and Tough
Tony Mareno. his valet, who disap-
peared on Saturday night and return
ed last night. having been persuaded
by ex-convicts It was not square to
Mr. Osborne TO run away. MIR. Os-
borne put his arm around Tony's
neck, and the two sat and talked for
half hour in a corner OF the war
den's office. When they came out
there were tears in Tony's eyes.
A little later Dean Kirchwey and
Principal Keeper Dorner decided that
Tony must serve two years and two
months more than his regular term,
which would have expired In two
years. and ne was transferred to the
cell block and a prison workshop
