Of those named Messrs. © Quay, Livsey, Hart, Boyer, Morrison, Jackson and Haywood has been State Treasurers, suc- ceeding each other in the order named. It is alleged in the above count that a conspiracy, from the time when William Livsey was State Treasurer, was staried to use the State funds for the benefit of Senator Quay and his friends, and it is claimed that the conspiracy is yet In vogue and that the act of Benjamin J. Haywood, in lending the money to Richard R. Quay, is a continuation of the Quay conspiracy to use the state funds. It is expected by the District Attorney that he will be able to show the cha'n of conspiracy from the incumbency of William Livsey up to the present time to enable hm to bridge over the statute of limitation, which prevents criminal prosecution for offenses more than two years old and cases of certain officers of corporations four years old Mr. Graham says thmt h.s own interpretation Is that the two-year limit is applicable to the State Treasurer, but it may be possible to con- strue the law so that the four-year limit may be applied Fifth—Charges Benjam'’n J.

Y., Nov. 26.—An in- mate of the insane asylum suddenly re- verted to his old self in part during a per- formance at the institution and is now only faulty in mind to the extent of not knowing his identity. When he entered the asylum as an unknown, one year ago, he was given the name of John Warner. Nothing about his previous life was known, Last week he left his seat in the audience at the asylum theater and clambered to the stage where he dispossessed a juggler of his accoutrements and then proceeded to give an astonishing exhibition of slight-of-hand work. It is now agreed that he must have heen a professional magician, but he can- not remember his name, He was admitted to the asylum at his own request and will stay there of his own Graham . ane Mayor Samuel L.
