New York’s Grand Jury Investigating
the Recent Delivery.
STARTLING REVELATIONS.
Gambling LVas Allowed and Even Encour-
aged by the Warden, Who Also Play-
ed, Declares Ex-Keeper Bauer.
other Serious Charges.
NEW YORK, July 31.——The grand jury,
which is investigating the former ofiicers
of Ludlow Street jail and the escape from
there of the postoifice thieves, Went to the
jail in a body today.
Warden Archibald was on hand to re-
ceive them, but would allow no one to ac-
company the grand jury on their tour of
inspection.
From the windows of the jail it could
be seen that Sheriff Tamsen, who escorted
the party, was showing the jurors the way
in which the postofiice thieves escaped. He
was Soon to be acting at times the part
played by Keeper Schneor and at other
times those of the escaping men. He
seemed to have the manner of escape well
fixed in his mind, as he appeared to go
through a lot of details.
The grand jury returned from the jail
to the criminal court building and re-
sumed the examination of witnesses.
While the grand jury was inspecting the
jail, Edward Bauer, who was one of the
keepers on the lower floor when the post-
ofiice robbers escaped, was waiting around
the grand jury room. He was summoned
as a witness to give his testimony today.
“I am a Republican, ” he said, “an out
and out Republican, and I guess some of
those fellows at the jail did not like me
because they were only half hearted Ro-
publicans, but now I will tell the grand
jury all I know about them.
Bauer‘s Story.
”It was Hartnaglc who was partly re-
sponsible for the prisoners’ escape, for if
he had obeyed _the wardcn’s orders they
would not have escaped.
“A witness will go before the grand
jury who was one of the prisoners in the
jail when the robbers were there. He used
to sit up until 2 or 3 o’clock in the morn-
ing with them playing poker, and when-
dyer he would lose he would have to pay
them, but whenever they lost he would
not get any money.”
“Was gambling permitted in the jail?”
“Why, of course it was. The warden
used to play poker with the keepers. ”
”Did the warden ever play with the
postofficc robbers?” .
“I only know of one time when he
played with them. It was either poker or
hearts he played, and for money.
“The last twopr three days that the
postoflice robbers were there they kept
very quiet. Before that, however, they
2 - used to talk to this prisoner, who will be
a witness, and whose name I can’t re-
member, and they told him that they had
made all arrangements to get out.
“This is what he will tell to the grand
jury, and it is what he told me. I will
not say that any money was paid, but I
do think that if Hartnagle had obeyed or-
.lers the men would never have escaped.”
John Fcldhammer, the engineer at Lud-
low Street jail, whose head was cut off
yesterday by Sheriff Tamscn, was one of
the witnesses before the grand jury today.
After he came out he called Tamsen a
“spitzbub” and thus further relieved his
feelings.
“Tamsen induced me to give up‘a posi- ’
tion in a brewery, where I was getting
535 a week, and then I only got $1,000 at
the jail. I had to work 10 and 12 hours
a. day, although the law says that city cm-
ployees need only work eight hours a day.
A Heavy Expense 'Account.
“Every day demands were made on me
for contributions to buy something for
Sheriff Tamsen. Here is my expense ac-
count.”
Feldhammer produced a memorandum
book and showed expenses for July
amounting to about $100. One of the
items was:
“Extorted from me for contribution to
Sheriff Tamsen’s badge, $5.”
“I handed this bill, ” said the engineer,
“to Warden Archibald and asked him to
pay me, but he told me if I didn’t keep
my mouth shut I wouldn’t get a cent.
“I told Archibald that if I didn’t get
the money I paid out right away I would
sue the sheriff for it.
“Archibald told me that the sheriff
didn’t care how many lawsuits were be-
gun against him, as the county had to
bear all the expense of them. =
“ ‘But I will show this itemized account
to the grand jury, and then we will see,’
I replied.” .
“Did you ever see any gambling at the
jail?” '
“You bet I did, and when Raabe would
lose his money to the crooks he would
laugh and say, ‘Charge that to the city’s
account.’
“I knew that something was going on
just before the prisoners got out. Raabe
was very quiet at that time, and he looked
so strange that I said to myself, ‘Some-
thing is going to happen.’ Every day
Raabo would say to me, ‘Shut your
mouth.’ I asked him why, but he just
kept saying: ‘Hold your mouth; shut up!”
The civil prisoner of whom Bauer spoke
as having played cardswith tho postofiice
robbers int c jail is a Spaniard named
De Luge. e was also a witness before
the grand jury. He declined to say any-
thing to the reporters about the gambling.
Another ex-prisoner named Marshall was
also a witness.
The Occupation of Trinidad.
LONDON, July 31.—Embassador Bayard,
referring to the reported seizure of the is-
land of Trinidad by Great Britain, said
today that the incident was a trifling one.
The island, he added, was. very small,
only occupied by a- few goats, and the
British ships merely stopped there to lay
I cable. ’

The Big Ocean Liner. ‘Vas Delayed by an
Injured Steam Pipe.
NEW YORK, J 11;, 31.4.1115 belated Cu-
nard lino steams__ ip Aumnia arrived to‘
day with all safe and ‘well. ' ’7-
Captain McKayfreports'that J my 26, in.
latitude 44 minutes 18 seconds, longitude
55 minutes 56 seconds, at 8 a. m., dur-
ing clear and calm Weather, he Was
obliged to stop ship owing to a. fracture in
the main steam pipe, which supplied the
engines with steam. '
The ship was laid to, and Chief Engi-
neer Mongall and his assistants set at
work immediately to repair the broken
steam pipe. The break was near the flange
and was about 24 inches long. The repairs
were made by pl‘pcing a patch over the
broken portion ofthe steam pipe.
The weather fertunately was remark-
ably flne, with a. smooth sea. This greatly
aided the engineers in their labors, and on
the 27th, at 7 p. m., in latitude 44 degrees
18 seconds, longitude 55 degrees 56 sec-
onds, the necessary repairs Were complet-
ed after a stoppage of 37 hours. The Au-
rania procegdcd under reduced speed at
the rate of 1‘- knots, without further stop-
page or accide t up to the time of arrival.
Captain Mc ay reports that little or no
excitement prevailed at the time of the
accident. The passengers, when informed
of the nature of the damage and a possi-
ble delay in reaching port, receiVed the
news cahnly and with the best of good
nature.
The damaged steam pipe will be iro-
paired at this port in time to enable the
steamer to sail Saturday.
The Aurania brought 86 saloon, 62 sec-
ond cabin and 457 steeragc passengers.
