Atthle juncture the heavy work corm-
mencetl Wardman ltobert J. Vail, who
had been under Captain Gastlin five years
and under Captain Schmlttberger six
months, said that when the latter came to
the precinct he said ho didn’t want the
men to collect any money. He wanted it
all for himself. "rlchmittbergcr said he
want it man from the piers if they
didn't . ve him the money,” continued
the witness. Schtnlttberger sent the wit-
ness to collect the money, and in the
course of a year he collected 83.000.
The chief witness of the dny—-Sergeant
Taylor—next testified. It was during his
testimony that the audience income so ex-
cited that order was restored only with
considerable difliculty.
(lave Blackmail Money to Steers.
Taylor proftsated that he know of the
collection of money under the regimes of
Captains Gastlin, Alluirc and Scluuitthcr-
gur only by rumor. But be urknmvh‘dwwl
that during the time he was acting Mp~
thin of the str‘ntttship squad oil! are: [told

”I gave the bigger [portion of the money
to Inspmtor rim-re," sold the Winn-as.
This was the startsntion. The audience
became gnntly excited, and Mr. God was
not able to primers] for some tithe.
Then Taylor told that Steers'ordcrs were
for him to keep 20 per cent of the money,
and that he (Stu-rs) vvus to got the other
80 per (out. When Allairo was placed in
charge of the squad, Taylor placed the
money in an envelope and left it in the
scrgcant'tt «look at the station house.
“Stuns told me to give it to Allnlt'o, ” sold
Taylor. “The envelope was marked ‘strcct
cleaning n-port.‘ "
Win-n Steers retired, inspector hie»
laughlin illlt‘lfllmltxl him, and Taylor con~
tinned to leave the money in an envelope
as before. "I wasn‘t rcsmnslhlc for the
money to any 0M, " said the witness. "I
only know it went to headquarters "
Sergeant Tnylor said that Inspector Mc-
Avoy had a «word for not taking money.
The custom of collecting this money
had been pursued by every captain of the
steatubmt squad during the [last 15 years.
Dr. J. Williston Wright testified that
