- EEE MAEEEINQUIRYH

- Richard Crdker’s Son on the

a Witness Stand.

[HE lAllllANY'CHIEF WILL TESTIFY.

Cliiéf'—of Police pevery Thoroughly
Probed by COIlnsel Moss With
E Sninll Results—Adjourned
to Friday'cht.

NETV YORK, April Ill—Only two wit-
nesses of any importance were put on
the stand before the Mazet legislative
investigating committee yesterday, and,
.though the investigation continued for
a number! of hours into the afternoon,
no particularly convicting evidence was

“ brought out.
mittee adjourned its sessions until next

Friday,-when the chief witness will be

Richard Crcker.

Frank Croker, son of Richard Croker,
was on the stand all morning, and he
made a‘ good witness for himself. He
testified that he had paid $17,000 to en—
ter the Riebling Fireproof company and
was drawing a salary of $2,500 from it
to “learn the business.” Young Croker
’ first said that he had given for his 170
shares of stock a check for the amount
mentioned, but when asked if he would
produce the canceled check he grace-
fully worked into an admission that the
stock was paid for in cash furnished by
his father in the Democratic club and
that he toolo the money to his home and
kept it in his room all night. He told
of having been presented with $6,000
wo'rth of stock in the United company
“because,” he said, “they knew we.had
lots of friends in railroads and such
places.”

Chief of Police W'illiam S. Devery was
again put upon the rack after Frank
Croker had given his testimony. Much
of the questioning of the police chief
was similar to that of Saturday when
he was asked to explain the exist-
ence of' many disorderly resonts in the
city that flourish at all hours of the
night. Devery said that the police de—
partment had done all it could do with
the evidence that it had before it to
close such places. He flatly gave the
lie to Mr. Moss when the Mazet counsel
asserted that during his term as police
commissioner he had closed all the pool-
rooms. Devery further denied that he
knew of any high official of the city who
was interesteda‘n poolrooms.

'The last witness of th'elday was Leo
Freedman, who confessed that he was
a retired policy “sub-backer.” He 'laid
bare secrets of the business. gave names
and addresses and told how,. by pay—
ments of l~money, he had for several.
years evaded trial, although he had
been several times indicted. He said
the last payment was of $300 to Max
Hochstei'm, who was to hold the money
for his lawyer. He also named Max
Gombossy, a concert hall keeper.

During the progress of the session Dr.
O’Sullivan said to the committee: _

“Mr. Richard Croker desires me to say
that he will be at the disposal of this
investigating committee at any time up
to April 18, when he is to sail forEu-
rope."

Mr. Moss evidently took this for a
challenge, and he promptly informed
Dr. O’Sullivan that Mr. Croker’s pres-
ence was desired at the very next meet-
ing of the committee, which would be
on the coming Friday morning at 10
O’clock, '

 

Conl Miners Strike.
DUBOIS, Pa., April 11.—-The miners
at ,Berwind—thite shaft, near this city,

demand was refused by 'the company.

. son Coal company’s miners. are also

'Q‘UAY TRIAL BEGUM.

 

lxamined—Few Persons Present.
PHILADELPHIA, April 11. —- Ex-
United States Senator .Matthew S. Quay
and his son, Richard R. Quay, were
called to the bar of the court of quarter
sessions yesterday, and' after- many

' months of vexatious delay the trial of _.

the two defendants was begun.
There was an entire absence of any
crowd either outside or within the
l courtroom. Special cards of admission
i permitting only those directly interest-
, ed in the case, witnesses, jurors and
! newspaper men, had been issued .by the
. district attorney and counsel for the de—
’ fense. Even members of the bar not in
the case were withheld admission. As a
result of these arrangements the court-
room was but little more than half fill-
ed, and the greater portion of those
present were witnesses.

Judge Craig Biddle, one of the. oldest
and _most respected members of the
bench, was the trial judge. District At-
torney Rothermel,’aifter over two hours
had been spent in selecting a. jury,
elected to try the ex-senator first on
that -one of the the indictments (in
which he and his son are, variously
named) which charges Mr. Quay and
the late ex-state treasurer, Benjamin J.
Haywood, with conspiracy in using the
state funds for their personal benefit
and profit and in a manner unauthor-
ized by law. This action practically
leaves the ex-senator alone on trial.
Beyond the selection of a jury and the
examinationbf one witness, Thomas W.
Barlow, receiver of the People’s bank,
nothing was done.
