New York Police Scandals.
SOME DAMAGING TESTIMONY
Contractor Thomas Galligan Sweats That
Be Paid Burns, “McLaughlin's \Vard-
man, $100 ', After Having Seen
the captain Himself.
NEW YORK, May 10.—When the trial of
Police Inspector McLaughlin was resumed
today before Justice Barrett, in the court
of oyer and terminer, everything was in
readiness to begin the taking of testimony
at once.
Special District Attorney Austen G. Fox
called to the stand as the first witness
William Delamater, the record clerk at po-
lice headquarters.
Clerk Delamater went over his record
and gave the dates of the various promo-
tions of McLaughlin up to the time he was
appointed captain and assigned to the Old
Slip station on Sept. 23, 1887.
Mr. Fox then Offered in evidence a paper
signed by McLaughlin on the date of his
assignment to the First precinct, which
was a special request to the police board to
transfer among others Patrolman James
Burns from the Twenty-third precinct to
the First.
The statement was made in the letter
that Burns was to be detailed to special
work in detecting violations of corpora-
tion ordinances.
Colonel James objected strenuously to
this testimony, but he was overruled by
the court. Witness Delamater also testi-
fied that Patrolman N ugent was also trans-
ferred to the First precinct at Captain Mc-
Laughlin’s request.
McLaughlin remained in command of
the Old Slip station till Jan. 12, 1892,
when.he was transferred to the Eleventh
precinct. He again requested the police
board to send Burns and Nugent with him
to his new precinct, and this was granted.
Colonel James made a great many elab-
orate objections to this testimony and ex-
cepted when Justice Barrett allowed it.
\‘o'orking Up to the Climax.
Henry H. Lloyd, a clerk in the bureau
of incumbrances, who lives at 11 West
Forty-fourth street, was called as the next
Witness.
Mr. Fox shOWed him a blank form of
permit, which he identified as that in use
in the department prior to 1891. and it
was put in evidence, in spite of Colonel
James’ objections.
There was no cross examination of Mr.
Lloyd, and Samuel H. Jacobs. who was
also a clerk in the bureau of incumbranees
in 1891, was next called to the stand. He
corroborated the testimony of the previous
witness regarding the change in form of.
the permits made at that time. He ad-
mitted that the entries on several slips
shown to him by Mr. Fox'were made by
him.
It was clear that the prosecution was
paving the way to show that Contractor
Siegrist’s permit gave- him the legal right
to carry on the work for which it is al~
leged he had to pay Wardman Burns $50.
Mr. Fox then produced the stub, which
showed that on Nov. 20. 1891, a permit
had been issued to F. W. Siegrist of 18
Avenue A to place obstructions on the
sidewalk at the southeast corner of Wil-
liam street and Exchange place. where he
was engaged in tearing down a building.
Witness Jacobs identified it-as having
been written by himself and said he
thought he had filled out the permit to
Mr. Siegrist. -
Thomas E. Galligan, Jr., a contractor
and house mover of 331 East Thirty-
seventh street, was next called.
He cleaned out the ruins of a building
that was burned in September. He worked
four days for the fire department and then
the owner. He used carts and horses, and
they were driven across the sidewalk int
the cellar. -
Galligan Paid 3100.
Q. Did you make the acquaintance of
one James Burns while engaged in this
work? A. Yes, sir. '
:‘Q. Where did you meet him? A. On the
sidewalk.
Q. Did he come to you first?
811'.
Q. What did he say to you?
Colonel James objected that this was
not relevant. because it did not concern the
present indictment. but was overruled.
Galligau went on to say that Burns told
him the captain wanted to see him.
“The captain came out to see me, and
when I told him Burns had sent me he
said, ‘SO you think you can come down in
this precinct and do what you like?’
”I told him I had a permit, but he got
very angry, and I got mad too. He said it
did not make any difference, and he was
not going to stand it any longer.”
Galligan went on to say that when he
came out of the station he met Burns
again on the sidewalk, and he asked him
what the “Old man” had said to him.
“I told him and asked him what to do
about it. Burns walked up to Fulton
street with me and talked about it. He
said money would fix it.
$50 was enough, and he said: ‘NO. You
had better make it SIOO.‘
“I said I would go to police headquar-
ters and started for there, but met a friend
on the way. who advised me to pay up if
I wanted to avoid trouble. So I went
back.”
Q. Did you see Burns again? A. Yes.
He came the next day to the building and
asked me what I would do. I gave him
$50, which he said would do for a begin-
ning.
Q. Did you pay him any more? A. Yes.
I was at work about two months then, and
I paid him $20 and $30 on two other occa-
sions—$100 in all.
The witness said that Burns told him
the money was for the captain, and he un-
derstood it so. It was the only way he
could avoid arrest.
All this testimony was given under a
continuous fire of objections from Colonel
James. Galligan was not shaken by the
rigid cross examination of McLaughlin’s
counsel, Colonel James.
A. Yes,
Andrew Carnegie Talks Some.
LONDON, May 10.—-Addressing the Iron
and Steel institute today, Mr. Andrew
Carnegie expressed the conviction that a
long time would elapse before the Japanese
and Chinese approach the western nations
in skill in the manufacture of iron and
steel. But. he added, he was satisfied that
the eastern nations would succeed in the
textile industries. -

A Particularly Lively Scene In the
German Reichstag.
VON KOBLLE7§LAIN TALK.
Tells the Members That They Are There
For Government Purposes and That
Their Duty Is to Pass Bills.
Denials of Socialists.
BERLIN, May 10.—In the reichstag to—
lay Dr. Schoenstedt, Prussian minister of
justice, announced that the government
would accept the Conservative amendment
to paragraph 3 of the antisociallst bill. ‘
'Herr Lenzmann, Richter Radical. urged
the rejection of the bill.
Herr von Koeller, Prussian minister of
the interior, attacked Herr Lenzmann for
remarking that the government was em-
barrassed over the bill. He declared that
the government accepts the same respon-
sibility with this measure as with all oth-
ers of its bills, but at the same time was
perfectly indifferent as to what the house
thought of its proposals.
This declaration caused a great uproar,
but Koeller persisted in continuing his
speech, shouting:
"Yes, perfectly indifferent. What you
are here for is to pass or reject bills and
grant the necessary money for the legiti-
AUGUST DEBEL.
mate expenses of the state. What you
think does not touch the gOvernment.”
The uproar was renewed and continued
several minutes.
Herr Koeller read extracts from speeches
delivered and pamphlets read at recent so-
cialistic meetings. his reading being an-
companied by a running fire of derisive
remarks and denials from the socialists.
Herr Bebel's Protest.
Herr Bebel, socialist, followed in a long
speech, in which he protested against Herr
Koeller’s making the socialistsgesponsible
for the utterances of anarchists.
The capitalistic classes. he declared,
were to blame for the troubles Of the work-
ingmen. through their tyrannical exploita-
tion of workingmeu. He cited as an in-
stance Of the tyranny of capital the oppres-
sion and subsequent bloodshed at Home-
stead, Pa.
The effect of the bill. should it become a
law. he said, would be to corrupt every
man in public life. This he sought to
prove by quoting from Chancellor von
Hohenlohe’s speech. He concluded by
condemning the entire attitude of the gov-
ernment.
Herr Bebel, amid great laughter, urged
Minister Koeller to take a lesson from
Puttkamcr, who was gifted with fine man-
ners. With a display of his elegant and in-
offensive manners Puttkamer had tried to
make exceptional laws palatable to the
majority, but Koeller, 'with his crude and
clownish bearing. disgusted what few
friends the bill had. Herr Bebel was lis-
tened to with close attention as he pro-
ceeded, and in a peroration which had an
emotional effect upon the house said:
”It is characteristic of the class rule ex-
istent that they try to blot out the social-
ists, but the movement will only have the
result that the teachings of the learned
spirits in the universities shall yet cause
these material and atheistie teachings to
be untouched. Furthermore, the bill pun-
ishes attacks upon Christian teachings,
ignoring the fact that Jesus died a rebel
for treason to the Roman empire.”
The Argentine Gold D‘ebt.
WASHINGTON, May 10.—A law has been
passed in the Argentine Republic by which
the debts of the several provinces, amount-
ing to $131, 685, 829, have been consolidated
and assumed by the national government,
for which bonds will be issued. The above
is known as the gold debt. It appears that
this debt. or the greater part of it, was
created through a banking act. in which
the provinces furnished the government
gold, receiving paper money therefor, which
was then at par. but is now worth but 27
cents on the dollar. The government ex-
pects to fund the loan at 3 per cent.

had declined to appoint delegates to the

convention. It is said like steps will be
