titled to his leaving the country at the
time of the ring revelations, under the
name of O'Donnel. He returned under
the name of JoffeTs. He considered
himself slightly culpable in connection
with the frauds.
Judge Davis declined to hear the
details of Garvey's voyages, and
said it was sufficiently transparent
that Garvey's testimony was that of q
man who had been promised protection
Garvey further testified that when be
went to Europe he was worth over q
million dollars, acquired between 1855
and 1871; said he always intended to re-
turn, but that his friends told him they
would not fight his battles for him un-
less he went away. Upon being ques-
toned as to vino those friends were, he
said they were Tweed, Sweeney, Con-
molly, and Hank Smith.
Question-Was Mayor Hall one OF
them?
Answer-He was embraced in the lot,
but he couldn't say that he expected
Hall to fight his battles for him. Re
cess.
After recess, Mr.. Garvey, on cross-ex-
amount of his claims, real and fictitious,
was two hundred thousand dollars; OF
real ones, it might be about ninety thou
sand dollars; the value of his wife's dia-
monds and jewelTy since II was about
twelve thousand dollars. Tweed pre-
sented him with some articles in silver
on. his marriage, which he still has.
There was no agreement to eXtricate
him from his troubles if he gave evil
dence; he was worth about one hundred
thousand dollars in 1868.
\ question as to details of the proper
ty was excluded, and exception taken.
Witness stated that within the last
year he had brought claim against
Tweed for twenty thousand dollars; it
was settled by striking off the item OF
two thousand dollars for work done at
Greenwich. Witness admitted that GER
tain receipts produced were for payments
made by Tweed for work done at Green
wich; one check for twenty thousand
dollars he said he never had in his
hand before, but admitted on the paper
being reversed that the Endorsement
was his. Garvey sustained the cross
examination more coolly than was ex-
pected, but he caused frequent bursts of
laughter by his querelous objections to
being tied down to strictly direct an
swers. He spoke of the city officials as
the quartette. He had everything
entered, day and date, on memoran-
dum-book. He must be worth nearly
a million dollars, from his statements.
The last item he was examined about
was one of one hundred and nineteen
thousand dollars for building a house for
Dick Connolly, on Fifth avenue, OF
which he received seventy-four thousand
dollars for labor and materials. He
never, to his recollection, told the grand
jury that he received a cent Improperly
from Tweed. Various receipts, which
were passed TO Tweed by Garvey, for
sums ranging from two thousand to
thirty thousand dollars, were put in by
the defense as part proof that what Gar
vey represents as margin allowed him
by Tweed on bills against the city, were
really paid directly by Tweed himself,
and not by the city.
The cross-examinatiOn will be resum-
ed tomorrow.
