Corrects Statement OF
CHIEF Cuddy He Denies the Allie
cations OF De puy.
Although the prosecuting attorney
had closed his case, upon the opening Of
the Court I. j. De Puy was recalled by
him to make some corrections and addi-
tons to his testimony previously given.
The objections Of Col. Godfrey for the
defense were overrsled and De Puy, be-
ing requested to make his statement, tes-
titled;
At some one of the conversations had
with Cuddy. on Friday, or perhaps on
Thursday, while ,le Grand Jury was
making the inves, cation in the case,
Cuddy stated to me that Sullivan was
engaged in the same practice as hereto.
fore. and that he would prosecute him
and could break down his testimony.
and that he had spoken to Mr.. White
about the matter. told him was
very glad to hear It. In reference to
Major Bell. stated to Mr.. Cuddy that
had got the letters IRON Major Bell
and had destroyed them, and probably
that would end the matter.
Cross-ex animation Why did you not
state this when you first testified!
1t escaped my memory. l did not
know that Ross or any one else had
been subpenaed 10 testify in tho case.
did not state on examination in chief
that never received those letters; what
did TESTIFY was that told Cuddy
had received them; but did not tell
him their contents
I J. Cuddy called by the defense
Am Chief of Police; was Captain Of Po-
lice October 7tb, 1882. Have known +,
j. De Puy about two years. Our rela-
items have always been friendly. Ny
first recollection of seeing Sullivan was
in the Office of the Jail, when he came 10
the bars of the window and wanted to
know when he was going to get out Of
jail. told him did not know auy-
thing about it, and that had nothing 10
do with his case. don't recollect when
be was discharged, was not in the office
at the time aud don't know who dis
charged him. After he was discharged
De Puy called at the Office aud told me
Sullivan had some clothing or baggage
he wanted to get, and asked me il .IIere
was Q bank book in the offi,o belonging
to Sullivan. / looked and found one
and gave it to him.
think / never saw Sullivan but once
after his discharge; along in the even
ing, on First street, 1 think it was, when
he spoke to me about his getting ont;
told him not TO get into any such scrups
again or he would 60 up; never re-
ceived any money from anyone for or
on account of the discharge Of Sullivan;
De Pay never gave me any money for or
on accent Of the arrest or discharge Of
Sullivan, nor did anyone else; have
examined the records Of the office Of
Chief of Police; ii appears that On Oct.
l4ih, 1882, arrested two men on com.
plant Of Mr.. HammeI, for obtaining
money under false pretencss; remein-
ber the circumstances well because Of
the anxiety Of Mr.. Hsmmel to have
them arrested. and because Of the trou-
BILE I took to find tlem.
De Puy has testified that he paid you
$I98.50 about ii O'Clock on Oct. l4th,
1882, On 6. .)ring street, in front of the
Eintracnt saloon; is that true?
It is not; ! don't think was in front
of the Eintracht saloon on that after
noon; am sure was not; recollect the
day because the records Of the office
show that was Chat morning in search
Of the two men complained OF by Mr..
Hammel. l usually remained at the Of
fice at that time until IL o'clock at night.
and would not ordinarily get to the Of
tice in the morning before 10 o'clock;
It was some time after breakfast when
Mr.. hamlnel came tome, anxious to cap
ture two men who had beaten him out Of
some money; l went to search for them,
and spent several hours, three or four at
least, looking for them; During this
time, I did not see De Puy ut all, to nay
recollection, nor was l in the Office;
When / came to the Office. was abont
to 20 to take the evening train; DePuy
may perhaps have been in the office
when l came in, but / don't think he
was; he was very friendly with Chief
hlUK nkl0 NY oCAis was al anu VAb u kt C0t
deal, nearly every day, and spent q
great deal Of the time id the Police Or
nee; am very positive that / was not
on Spring street that day in search OF
those two men, nor in front of the Elm
tracht saloon; I keep q bank account
with the Farmers and Merchan j Bank;
have my bank book with me; (ine bank
book placed in evidence; MY salary was
SIS per month in the beginning aud was
afterward raised to 500; depusired in
the bank all the money hal % spare;
the first entry in the book was $50, Feb.
10th, 1882, and the last Dec. 30; think
the first money deposited was money
had when went on the police force,
which I had ,arned as clerk in grocery
store; the book shows. think, an aver
age deposit Of one-half of my salary at
the end of every two months.
cross-examination- In answer to D.s-
-trict Attorney: No sir; received no
money whatever from Mr.. Dc Puy. Sui
Ivan was discharged Nov. IA, 1882. I
met him once afterward on the street.
The next heard Of him was about the
time was elected Chief; or about the
time Of the King and Bell trouble. De
Puy w7fs In the Police Office and / was
giving him : scoring for appearing as
counsel for Maj. Bell I told him King
had always been his friend, had helped
him in great many ways, and / thought
his accepting fee from Bell was poor
return f0llnll Of King's kindness to him.
II was thensthat De Puy tried to excuse
himself, and expifined to me that Maj.
Bell had received letters from client Of
hin which weres damaging to him, and
that he could not afford to have them
published.
The next time l heard of Suliiv.n : as
when the Grand Jury was in session.
De Puy came into my Office aud sad
that Bell and ALI Moore were ,nak n !
certain charges before the Granl Jury,
and were trying to get hold Of Jndge
Morgan, aud that the matter charged
would implicAte him. He spoke to me
several times about the matter. He in
timated that l might have some influ-
ence with the Grand Jury, or with Dis
trict Attorney White. l never sought
to influence any one Of the Grand Jury,
nor the District Attorney. Never spoke
to any Of them upon the subject.
called at De puy's office the same day,
after had testified before the Grand
Jury, and told him that had given my
evidence, aud that Sullivan was there
terrifying. Did not tell De Puy what
had testified to. The next day De Puy
came to my Office, very much exercised,
and said Il was getting to be very seri.
ous matter, that White was takiag a
very active interest in it, although he
didn't know Why be should do SO against
him; aud wanted to know of me what
knew about Sull van, and told him
every thing I knew about him. l told
him a'felIow had called few days pre-
vious and wanted to mako complaint
against Sullivan, and that l had referred
him to the District Attorney. heard
Of him - Henry. afterwards as Henry
Ross, and tried 70 find him. but didn't
succeed. l did this for De Puy because
he requested me to do 50. He said
Diffenderffer was working it up.
