WHAT COMMISSIONER WEST SAYS

WHAT COMMISSIONER WEST sANS
In reply to q question as to what he thought OF
McDevitt's letters published in yesterdays STAR,
Commissioner West said to-day: "oh, that's his
own business publishing the letters; they are
copies OF those left with the Commissioners,
and were furnished the press by Mcpevitt HIM
self: they viii fail to command the attention
sought for. OF course he viii be furnished copies
of such papers file in this Office or that OF the
police department. as he asks for. His letters do
not relieve him, in the eyes OF the putlic from an
impression OF a very close intimacy with evil
doors
THE INVESTIGATION RESUMED.
Contrary TOT expectation, the Commissioners.
little after ! O'Clock to-day, went into secret ses
the subject OF their consideration was Memoran-
dun No 2
Mr.. Reed, the grocer on street, and Mr.. Chris
tan Rupert. the toy man, on 9TH St, were called

when our report closed.
The Trial of William Dickson.
Mr.. SMITH CONTINUES HIS ARGUMENT FOR THE DE-
PENDANT
Mr.. c. Maurice Smith, the counsel for William
Dickson, renewed his argument In the Police Court
to-day. He began by reviewing the testimony OF
Bowen as to the occurrences at Drivers He said
the testimony OF Col Rice dIsproves the state
ments Of Bowen and Hoover that Mr.. Dickson had
asked for an Introduction TO Cameron, and t shows
the three men ae would not ask Tor
these men for perjury at this time TheTe is no
testimony to show which one is lying the hardest,
and it made no difference which one was de nomi-
mated perJurer. Let them all stand together.
The fact that they all recoect that ID ckson made
this request, is damaging. II Hoover, standing
and Driver seated at the table, he m ust have
through two brick walls. Yet the testimony or
such witnesses was used 10 blacken the reputation
OF a reputable citizen. In any state such man
as Bowen, instead OF having his testimony accept
ed, would have been tarred and feathered and
n w rgG N
loss of suffrage.
THE COURT CHECKS MR. SMITH
Mr.. Smith referred to Mr.. Wells report, which
gave to the world the scandal against Mr. Dick
SONS good name, but the court said that the re-
not argue for it.
Mt. Smith continued by saying that much as Mr..
Wells would like TO have Bowen out OF the case, he
| could not do It. TIL long delay In discovering
| that any wrong had been done, the fact of the
| transposal OF the case from Mr. Moore was in
| tended to prejudice Mr.. Dickson.
| In closing his argument Mr.. Smith said that his
client wished to be convicted OF corruption or
else honoraDly discharged.
| Mr.. CUPPY'S ARGUMENT.
| Mr. Cuppy began his argument at half-past 1.
He said that the question is narrowed down to
the simple proposition whether the reading OF the
paper was done with a corrupt motive. Such a
motive arfsca for a corrupt and depraved purpose
| This Is the charge.
| He then continued his argument in explanation
OF what constituted a corrupt motive. He con-
| cluied at $40
