licences of crime had been promised lndl-
rectly by the prosecution. The only new
feature was an affidavit sworn TO by Detec-
tive Duffy of Chicago, when tenuS 10 SHOW
that Stevens and Quinlan had freely talked
about Tanner paying money 10 SQUARE Hill
self. but owing to its Irregularities the atti-
davit was rejected by the commissioners.
Several demi monde were produced by the
defense TO show that they had never paid
moneys TO Stevens. The evidence is now
all in and a final decision will be reached by
Monday. That Mr.. Stevens has shown an
abb in the Watson portion of the case,
seems to be the opinion of some of the men,
beers. but he has made no attempt to con-
troyert Carrie MoOre's testimony that
SHE PAID MONEYS.
The first witness after the customary ora
torical flourish by the defendant, Harold
C. Stevens, the thirteen-year-old son of the
police clerk. was placed on the stand to cor
roborate the mothers testimony regarding
the dental association meeting, and that it
was the day before the Grant funeral.
Mr.. Stevens then asked Aid. Sly to take
the stand.
Il am not being investigated" pertly re-
sponded the bland alderman from the
Fourth ward Il decline to go on the stand
just at present." evidently implying that he
should have something to say before the in
veStigation closed.
Il will not ask you any questions that
will compromise you," reJoined Stevens
with significant smile.
Il don't know as you could ask me any
questions that will compromise me. but
will not let you intimidate me as you have
intimidated witnesses" said the alderman
cOOlly.
Danna Howard, keeper of the house at
POI South First street, was called and tes-
titled that she had never paid Mr.. Stevens
dollar for immunity. She said she had at
one time been in position where Stevens
might. without compromising himself, have
demanded money from her and her circum-
stances would have compelled her to give it.
HATTIE M'BRIDE DIDN'T PAY STEVENS.
Hattie Mcbride. the keeper Of 221 South
First street, was next sworn. She testified
that Stevens had notified her to pay fines
and that the fines had always been paid.
Stevens-Have you directly or indirectly
paid 10 me any money as fine?
mo, SIR
''Have l ever suggested to you in any
way that you ought to pay?"
No, sir"
Lilah Hoffman. keeper of No. 222 South
First. testified that she had always paid
money into the municipal court and had
never directly or indirectly paid money to
Stevens

Hoffman, swOre she had never paid Stevens
cent for any service whatever.

the other dav?
Yes, sir"
Ibid you come up?"
Yes. sir"
Did anyone say anything to you?"
Yes, sir"
''What did he say?"
HE asked me if | had received my wit
ness fees, and l said no."
Anything else?"
''He wanted to know if knew anything
against Stevens. and said 1 did not"
what was said to you them"
THAT l would not have to testify"
A WEATHER PROPHETS INFORMATION.
Stevens-Capt. McCraney. are you ac-
custom ed to observing the weather?
Yes, sir"
''Do you know about what time it is
lamplight on Sept. 1?'
If fair day, it is lamplight between s
and 9 o'clock"
Was it fair day when Gen. Butler was
here?"
lit was pretty fair day."
CroSS-eXaminatiOn.
Aid. Sly-AS a matter of fact is it not
true that lamps were lighted shortly after
o'clock in September"
Aid. Lawrence-If you have observed
so closely such things how long after sun
set before it is dark enough to light lamp?
Il don't know"
You don't know? What do you
Think"
About half an hour"
''Then surely you can tell when the sun
sets in September"
No, sir; l cannot
The commissioners thought it strange
that the witness could tell when it grew
dark. but yet knew nothing regarding the
time the sun set.
Charles Burke was called and said Ste
vens had asked witness to accompany him
to Watson's. Stevens said he wanted to
see the books before they were tempered
with. Stevens asked for the books. but
Watson said the books were not there.
Stevens asked if she was quite sure, and
she said the books had been taken away
ten minutes before.
TANGPER WITH THE BOOKS.
Aid. Sly-Who did Stevens say was
going to tamper with those books?
He did not say who"
Aid. SLY cannot understand why any
one should tamper with the books. She
had already made two statements and they
were in the possession of the committee.
1t would be folly to have tempered with
them.

Moore. at No. 232 South First street. testi-
fed that she had never paid Stevens for any
