WASHINGTON January 3O..-The special
committee OF the House TO inquire into
the official acts OF the Board OF Police
Commissions Of the District OF Columbia
continued their investigation to-day.
Secretary George NJ. Robson was sworn,
and testified that he had read the report
Of the investigation OF Murtaugh IA it
was published in the newspapers. The
chairman then read Murtaugh's teati-
mony in regard to his interview with
witness in relation to Whitthorne. Wit
ness did not remember interview; saw
Murtaugh often during WhiLthorne's in.
vestigatiOn, but had no conversation with
him about Whitthorne. Murtaueh did
nothing about the Whitthorne affair at
the witness request or with his know
ledge; talked about Whitthorne's busi-
ness with various persons as to his per-
sonal habits, but had nothing 10 do with
the police force; had understood Whit.
thOrne's habits were bad, and so may have
smiled when hurtagh asked me about
him; thought Whitthorne was opening
himself TO exposure, and thinking some
subordinate would take advantage Of
the opportunity, l communicated il
10 a member OF Congress, who
showed us his influence in warning
Whitthorne to be careful, il there was
any necessity. He did this, not for any
feeling toward Whitthorne, but out Of
respect for himself. Witness had nc
knowledge that Dana was being shad.
owed by policemen when here. lie had
no conversation with Murtagh about il
at the time, as he scarcely knew him then
He heard after DAna's arrest that he
been watched. II was rumored in the
Navy Department that Whitthore would
be exposed or that he was being watched
or something OF the kind, was among The
possibilities; that he had had such con
versation with Murtagh as givan in hi
testimony abouL not exposing Whitthornt
while he was in office, but the witness
could recollect nothing Of it.
