90 you KNOW or any money Delng PAID 10
any officer?"
II do not"
Mayor Pilsbury-Mr Tanner testified
that you said you saw Tanner count out
money to Capt. Chase. Is that true?
81 did not see it counted. l went into the
Office and Capt Chase and Tanner were
there. The captain had roll of money in
| his hands. After Tanner went out the
captain said: We have got some more as
sistance for our fair l did not see the
money paid over. Some few evenings
afterwards the captain said to- me: Go down
and spend this at the fair l think it was
$40 or $25. He told Inc it was some of that
money. Capt. Chase told me and told the
chief-that is, the chief said the boys had
done well for him (the chief and Capt.
Chase told him then about the Tanner mat
ter. | heard Capt. Chase say half dozen
times that he had spent it at the fair.
About ST.. $50 was paid in to the fair by the
police department. 1t was mostly money
that came from the outside"
Ibid Tanner ever say anything to you
about money for the fair?"
mo, sir, Tanner never said anything to
me about money. l never heard him men
ton the fair"
Aid. Sly-Have you heard that the
houses of prostitution paid $40 each to be
used at the. fair?
Eyes; | have heard it, but know nothing
about it,"
''If this money was for the fair why was
it kept so Secret?"
II never supposed it was secret. I told
the chief about it,"
why was the check not accepted"
Il don't know anything about the check;
n not yr,yx hot al,
ABOUT MONEY AND STOLEN GOODS.
Aid. Sly-In returning stolen goods to
the owner do you demand any money?
1--WE always try to get the money back
for the pawnbrOkers. In case a robe is
stolen and sold to a pawnbrOker we get a
description of the robe and find it. Then
we tell the owner where it is and ask him
to pay the pawnbroker for the robe; that is,
we would ask the owner to pay back the
S1.50.
Mayor Pillsbnry-I hardly ever take any
notice of anonymous letters. Mr. Quinlan,
have you ever taken money for the purpose
of preventing any person from being
brought to justice?
II never did,
800 you know of any other officers tax
ing money for that purpose?"
Il do not"
In speaking of anonymous letters, Mr..
Quinlan said:
II know the mayor has received many
such letters against me. and | know they
were written often through jealousy. Ii
any one knows anything against me L am
anxious that he shall come forward and
make his charges. If there is anything
against me that can't clear up, cannot,
with any heart, look thief IN the face"
KIRKHAM coNTEADICTs HIMSELF.
In the afternoon at the special instance of
the reporters Mayor Pilsbury had the stem
ographer read Sergt. Kirkham's testimony
of Saturday when he testified that DOnahue
offered to ''whack up" on the 800 bail
money if Kirkham would let the defendant
in the case go. Several who were previ-
ously in doubt evinced their satisfaction
that the papers had made no misrepresen-
tation, and the mayor remarked: That is
as | understood it," notwithstanding the
sergeant two hours before had testified on
oath that he never said anything of the
kind.
The reporters were satisfied, and in fact
all were satisfied save Sergt. Kirkham and
William II. Donahue and perhaps Aid.
Lawrence The glaring contradiction was
put in evidence, and will be used to miti-
gate the sergeant's testimony as whole.
Capt. McCraney was sworn and testified
that he knew of no money ever having been
taken by police officer to secure to any
prisoner immunity or privileges of any kind;
