PARKHURST BY PROMINENT MEN. Flight of a Star Witness of the chow Committee to Europe. $25,000 Said to Have Been Furnished by the Police. Features of the $350,000 Robbery. Mrs.'Augusta Thurow, who formerly ’kept the establishment at 23 Second Avenue, and Whose sensational testimony before the Lexow Committee resulted in the dismissal of one police captain, five sergeants and two wardmen from the force, has gone to Europe. All of these former policemen have been indicted by the Grand Jury on the strength of Mrs. Thurow’s stestimony, and it was on her testimony that reliance was placed to convict the indicted men. \Vhat is in- teresting in connection with her disap pearance is the rumor that the men under indictment made up a purse of $25,000 to defeat their conviction, and that a. good part of that amount went to Mrs. Thurow to insure her absence from this country for a. long time. The robbery Of the Shoe and Leather Bank by a. trusted bookkeeper and an accomplice continues to stir banking and police circles. There are many queer facts in connection with the theft. The omcers of the bank accuse a. man named Frederick Baker of stealing the sum of $354,000 by drawing it over the paying teller’s desk in checks in sums of from $200 to $400 at various and frequent times during the past eight years. The fact that this man came several times a week and drew sums of from $200 to 3400, it is asserted, was a matter of common note, so common that the bank employees knew him as the ‘3200 man.’ Now, it is ridiculous to suppose that if Baker went so often to the bank to draw checks as to be known as the $200 man that other bank officers would not have noticed it. They would certainly have seen the man drawing check after check, and should have noted that he paid nothing in. This looks queer. There is only one logical way to account for the withdrawal of so large an amount, to my mind, and that is that several men drew the money on the checks, thus allaying the suspicious of the tellers and the bank officers. Then this self-confeSsed thief, Seely, charged it all up to Baker’s account. The fact remains, however, that Baker committed suicide as soon as the robbery became publicly known. More than five hundred men recently attended the banquet given Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst by the City Vigilance League of which he is the. founder. Among them were men who are foremost among those in the city. Women came and sat in the gallery and applauded, even cheered, with the men. There was a deep-seated earnestness and enthusiasm. It was, as Dr. Parkhurst said in what was perhaps the most remarkable speech he has ever made in this city, one of the finest gatherings of men that had come together in New York for many years. When Dr. Parkhurst arose there was a. mighty outburst. Cheers were given again and again. Every man was on his feet lending his voice. Bishop Potter cheered decorously. Father Ducey shout- ed with the enthusiasm of a boy. After bowing his acknowledgements to the cheering diners he said in part: “I cannot look upon such a throng of men, realiz- ing that every fibre of unqualified earn- estness and sincerity, and feel any par- ticular anxiety for the future of New York city. \Ve have to remember, how- ever, that it is one thing to win a. victory and it is quite another thing and a far more difficult. thing wisely and concert- edly to utilize that victory. Our future is in the hands of God and in our own. Many persons do not fully understand just what this league stands for. Some of you allied yourselves with us when it was considered neither reputable nor respect- able to be associated with myself. It is funny now, but it was not funny then. You and 1, young friends, are not in this business for the leaves and fishes, and let me tell you that therein lies ninetysnine onehundreths of our power. We do not care a rap for ourselves. But do you realize that more than 100,000 men inside this city believed on Nov. 6 in the muni- cipal government represented by such men as Divver, Sheehan and dirty Koch? We must not forget the strength that lies in 100,000 men, and you and I must go to work to help convert them, and I believe that if our campaign had lasted' three weeks longer we would have added to our majority against Tammany by 20,000. Bishop Potter followed Dr. Parkhurst. “My brother, whose services to this city and to the country have been so large, has often been challenged and criticised be cause he was supposed to have stepped outside hls vocation ” he began. “I want to say, with all my heart, from the first to the last he held himself rigidly within its dominion. No word that he has ever spoken, no act that he has ever done, is inconsistent with his oflice and ordination as a minister of Jesus Christ.” This, coming from one of the highest digni- taries of one of the most conservative churches in the city, was greeted with a tremendous outburst of applause. “If we want justification of the course of our good brother here, we have it in the early John the Baptist, of whom he is the true successor,” the Bishop went on. “Let us hope that the heroism and prophetic fore« eight with which God [has crowned him will make us willing always to follow his lead.” Dr. Parkhurst chatted with General Horace Porter, who presided, while Charles Stewart Smith found a topic which interested Bishop Potter, who wore his clerical black waistcoat. On the end Dr. Lyman Abbott and Chancel- lor McCracken talked cheerfully. On the other side of General Porter was Mayor Schiercn, who conversed with Mr. Choate when he wasn’ t talking to Father Ducey, in whom James C. Carter was also much interested. Everett P. Wheeler was at the end of the table. The gallery was filled with well-dressed women. In their centre Mrs. Parkhurst was recog- nized. There was a. shout. Then every man stood up and turned his face to- wards the balcony, and they gave three good cheers for Mrs. Parkhurst, calling her name. She stood up, smiling and happy and self- possessed, and waved back her thanks with her fluttering handkerchief. ROGER LEWIS. Ho Knows Better Now.
