QUIScEY SAYS


Major Quincey the order ofarrest clerk in the Sher-
is Office stated last night that he had hoard no news
OF w. N. Tweed's whereabouts, He supposed his being
taken out Of Ludlow Street Jail was with the con-
sent Of Sheriff Conner. Any such lcnency hc had
often opposed, he said. and had repeatedly
cautioned the Sheriff against granting any request to
allow the late prisoner to go Tweed had often
quested the privilege and further asked that Deputy
Sheriff McConega and himself should 20 in charge
of him. The Major said he had emphatically de.
clined TO incur the risk, He did not believe Warden
Dunham had been brbed but he blamed him for being
too lax in his duties The Sheriff he had not seen he
said, but had been looking for both him and Warden
Durham all day. Sheriff Conner he knew felt very
much cut up at the loss Of his prisoner and would do
everything in his power to cause his rearrest.
