and resumed his hard, dry denials of ever
having received any money or bribes of
any description. llc said that he never
got a dollar from illegitimate acumen out-
side oi his salary while in charge of the
Tenderloin or any other pmcinco.
He told a peculiar story of a mammal-
mous brokerage firm from which he got
some “3,000 or 88,000 made on speculac
tions, for which he was not required to
put up a dollar. The firm was Fliess &

He got very angry when questioned
about his wife‘s diamonds. particularly 11

”I never saw such a thing. and I brand
the statement as a lie!” he shouted.
Mr. Goff kept probing him about pres

A Series of benlais.
His ignorance of the gambling houses
and their operations in the Tenderloin was
marvelous. but he had evidently made up
his mind to deny everything. and he did

worth more than 840,000 outside of his

losing your temper." Williams replied,
“No, I am sitting on a cake 0! ice, " but
he did not look very cool.

Commissioner Martin's Testimony.
Idr. God‘ began his examination of Com»
missicner Martin with the following
question:
“Is it a fact that the blackmail levlod
from salmm known» by the police ceased
because there was an armugcment to pay
it to Tammany Hall?"
“1 never heard of it. "
" Did the manmisslonors not inquire
into the payment of the tribute by saloon
keepers?"
"No. Wu had no {Militias for such an
inquiry."
"Had you a conference with Morris 'l'o

" Never in that capacity."

Mr. Golf spent a considerable time in
endeavorihg to not Commissioner Martin
to acknowledge that be was Mum-o of this
arrangement and also that the subject was
diseumod at the commissioners’ meetings.
“Were not a number of captains trans—
ferred on account of this blackmailing oi“

"We never received any communication

should have let us know.- The subject
never came before the police board." '
Another letter was from ox Speaker
William L. Slulzer, and asked that an ap-
plicant should be allow“! to immediately
go up (or another examination.
The commissioner said he issued an or-

“Captain Schmittbcrgcr swore you com-

“That. is untrue I told him to ascer-

“Do you think Captain Sebmittborger
was actuated by any animosity to you?”
"Yes. When he was captain of they

Chairman Loxow asked Commissioner
Martin whether he thought one commis-
sioner would not be better than four. The

ties woulld be too heavy. Alter answer-
