The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1885-10-23


One OF the girls in the Ross street house
was large, and US black as the ace OF spades.
The landlady was lighter, and another girl
was nearly white. When Mayor Grub
left the parlor, Chief Blackmore followed
him at once. The landlady either went
out or was already out. He noticed no.
body else 90 out, either Just after or Just
before. The witness could not see any
portion OF the hall except that Just in
front OF the door. Mr.. Hamilton went out
once after the Mayor and Mr.. BlsHkmore,
and was out three or four minutes. The
others were out four five minutes, not
long enough to call special attention to
their absence from the room. Mayor
Grub went out but once; Chief Black
more was in and out several times. He
did not rccolIect that the light c1lored girl
went out while the Mayor was out; che
might have done so. He did not see any
OF the girls nearer 10 the Mayor than in
the next chair. He and several OF the
others "did not seem to relish coons too
close TO them" He did not hear the light
girl say anything about being from Wheel
ing, but some one, Mr.. Hamilton, he
thought, said he knew the girls folks in
Wheeling He did not notice that any OF
the girls had her hand on the Mayors
chair. II one OF them had he would not
have noticed it; tribe like that would
not make an impression on his mind.
He and all the party behaved like gen.
tlemen. None OF the women eat on hiS
chair, moron hiHknee, that he saw. Some OF
them sat on other mems knees the witness
had one on his knee. He saw others OF the
party have girls on their knees, but not
the Mayor. He saw nothing that he
thought was out Of tho way, nothing inns
proper. He judged when any one went
into the hall they would go on into the
dining.room. He heard no vulgar talk by
any member OF the party. No girl could
have sat on the Mayors knee without his
knowing it and RENDERING 1t, for be had
tried TO get ono OF them to do SO, but
failed. Ono might have sat on the arm OF
his chair for q second or two, possibly,
without his seeing 1t, but this was not
likely.
lie SAW Mr.. PREV.
Mr.. Shore saw Mr.. Frew in Pittsburgh
he didnot know bin before that. lie knew
him after he wssintroduced 10 him in the
Chiefs office. He saw him in the evCn-
ing, and was told that he was connected
with newspaper. Mr.. Frew asked him
about the charge against Mayor Grub,
and he told him II was d lie, so far
as he knew. The witness signed the
statement drawn up by Mr.. Frew denying
the truth OF the charge. Mr. Frew had
but few minutes to catch the train.
Then Col. Arnett went back and started |
on the famous trip again, and alter a cues
ton or two caught up with the procession
once more and got back to the statement
given to Mr.. Frew. The witness was not
present when the statement was read, but
believed Mr.. Frew wrote it. 1t was read
over to the witness, 8nd he remarked that
he was not with the party when the trip |
was proposed, but 80 far as the denial OF
Chief Smiths charge was concerned he |
aligned 1t on his own knowledge.
The object OF the "trip ab0utthe city was
to see the low resorts. This Is customary
when police officials from out OF town |
come to the city. Most OF the police
business Is with such classes, and knowl- |
edge OF their .haunts and habits Is impos- |
tant to officers.
When this witness signed the statement
containing the assertion that the party re-
NAMED unbrokep, he meant that the
party remained together. Laughter.l
None Of them were lost. lie meant that |
none OF them retired or gotso drunk thoy
could not keep up. He thought an hour
was not long on a tour Of inspection like
this. lie did not know the written stale.
ment Was for publication till he saw II In
the lHTRLLIGESCER.
Then Col. Arnett went back to the stSte-
ment that nothing improper occurred in
the Ross street house; then to the drink,
ing in the house. At ono house Smith
said he could Tot drink the beer, and set
1t down. Some OF the beer was not llt for
a hog to drink. From the looks OF the
tray after each round he did not think
any OF them drank much.
The cross examination ended here, hay.
ing Consnmed 81 minutes.
Mr.. Shore, in answer 10 question by
Mr.. Hubbard, said man sitting in the
oarIor could not have seen all over the
lRll, unless his chair was in the doorway
md he stuck his head out. 1t will be re.
that Porter Smith testified that
10 sat six feet from the door, and could
yet see all over the hall. {
