Mr.. Hall tlen read the lour specifications IN the
charge, each of which the witness pronounced to
be utterly false.

transactions with Martnott, directly or indl-
Tectly; MarLlnott mad the post on which the Cor
win robbery was committed and was on duty that
night; did not break up houses OF prostitution so
long as they were orderly; judges had often ruled
mat unless they were dlsordery they should not
be m0lested; his course was the universal course
In the department. In THIS respect; ALWAYS broke
up panel ana gambling houses when aware pf
their existence.

and gambling houses and disorderlY houses OF
prostitution, complied from the blotter of the
Twenty-Dintn precinct station mouse during the
time Martinott alleges Burden TO nave carried ON
the nefarious practices. BY this IL appears that
