ATTORNEY CARLETON. uooo w VI ihS ot'l
valuable evidence for the prosecution. he
often valves points at the request ~ lndl-
vidual members of the commission IN order
to give each and every one connected with
the investigation show.
The commission assembled yesterday
morning and Sergt. Kirkham was recalled
to testify against Capt. Chase.
How many times have you known
money to be paid at the city lookup, III
which cases Capt. Chase had any connec-
tion?" queried MI. Carleton, adjusting his
spectacles.
My recollection is three times, and my
impression is that Capt. Chase took the
money"
"Why do you think SOP"
''Because l heard Chase say that ne
would let the prisoner go If he would put
up $40. l saw the money in Capt. Chases
hands,
After little further testimony respecting
the money, in which Kirkham seemed to go
exclusively upon impressions, William
H. Donahue, the sage attorney OF the
Municipal Court block, was granted the
privilege of cross-eXamining the witness,
Donahue having been directly implicated
by the sergeant on Saturday. Before be-

to the accepted rules or legal ethics, Mr..
Donahue alleged that the testimony of Sat
urday had been so misrepresented in the
morning papers as to villify him Oonahue)
before the public. Taking seat near by,
and with grieved look he said: MI
Kirkham. did you testify that l said to you
| would divide the prisoners $40 bail with
you if you would let the prisoner go?"
mo, sir, I did not" vehemently re-
sponded the sergeant with a deep frown.
Il said Capt. Chase told me to go to Dona-
hue and ask him to whack up half the $40
OF go to hi hereafter"
Aid. Lawrence, with a quiZzical express
sion: "Did you take liquor into the police
headquarters ON Christmas"
YES"
.'Did you see anybody drink it?"
Eyes; Capt Chase drank some of it in
tin cup. The bottle was labeled sour
mash,' but don't know what sour mash
is"
KIRKHAM TAKES SUGAR IN HIS.
''Who, to your certain knowledge, drank
that liquor?"
II saw, I think, Capt Chase, Bill
Reese, Truworgy and Jack Leonard"
You say you think. We want to know
what you know"
II am as positive of it as am that I'm
here. At about O'Clock in the afternoon,
[ should Judge, there was a whisky glass
full of liquor left in the bottle"
You have drunk whisky in your life,
haven't you?"
Il don't know that ever took drink of
raw whisky in my life"
We'll, | don't mean raw whisky.
Haven't you ever drunk whisky"
ION, yes; l have drunk whisky sweet
ened."
did you talk to Mr.. Tanner about any
wages paid to any one?"
YES"
''How did you happen to talk with him
about it?"
Tanner left note at the North Mime
apoliS station asking me to CALL"
Ibid you go DOWN."
81 did. 1 might have been there twenty
minutes. Tanner wanted to know about
officers taking money. He talked mostly
about paying 500 to Capt. Chase"
''What did you say?"
81 don't know as can tell"
"What did Tanner say?"
HAD TO SQUARE HIMSELF.
HE told me that Duffy said he should
have to square himself with the police force.
They said they received note asking him
to call at Detective Quinlan's house" (Here
the witness detailed substantially the same
statement made by Tanner)
William H. Donahue testified next:
Il desire to say that Sergt. Kirkham's
testimony regarding my connection with
the $40 transaction is true, and that the re-
port in the papers IS utterly false. l got an
order from the defendant and Capt Chase
gave me the 800 for defending the case"
Detective Quinlan being sworn, deposed
