The charge of arson was met by a _nolle prosequi_. The
accusation of theft was stopped by a _ne plus ultra_. The

awarded to Hayloft for the loss of his revolver and
cartridges. The main body of the case was carried on a
writ of _certiorari_ to the Federal Courts and appealed to
the Supreme Court of the United States.

Meantime, Hezekiah, as managing director of the Burglars'
Security Corporation, remains one of the rising generation
of financiers in New York, with every prospect of election
to the State Senate.
