offered Chase $40 after that, and subse-
quently 500; the hush-money story is dis
proved by MolyniX; and the idea that the
keeper Of a respectable hotel would pay 500
to keep people from saying naughty things
about it is not worthy of more than passing
notice.
THE CARRIE MOORE STORY.
The defendant spoke of Carrie Moore's
testimony that she had paid him divers
sums of money, and alleged that the charge
was made upon the unsupported testimony
OF her who is well-known keeper of
house OF ill-fame. He then stated that he
closed Carrie Moore's house Jan. 1 last, and
that she had afterwards attempted to run
by stealth. He also reviewed the mayors
testimony i'll relation thereto. Mr.. Stevens
then said:
Carrie Moore swears: sd be open to-day

you made me close, but stayed longer by
paying you; paid money, SO to $25 more

months; moved back to 119 Second street;

moved there on May IL last; paid money al

gave Stevens S25 at 232 on June IS; paid
line in court July2; lived at 232 since May II,
about two months before l was ordered to
close up; the moneys were paid Stevens SO
that L wouldn't have to go to court that

MI. Stevens urged the unlikelihood of hel
testimony on the ground that he had COM
PEELED her to close her house.
THE $50 FROM LEE.
Mr.. Lees testimony was next reviewed,
wherein it was stated that the witness paid
Stevens $50 for the privilege of renting
mouse ON First street. Stevens claimed
that the 500 was commission, the same as
any real-estate dealer would receive for
like service. From that Mr.. Stevens went
to Annie Watson's testimony and her books,
as follows:
And now. gentlemen, we come to the last
and apparently at one time the most formidable
charge-that Of having received from Annie
Watson, otherwise known as Annie Hawley,
dlVers sums OF money on the pretense that
the same was in lieu of fines paid for or to be-
paid for her-in other words, that Stevens had
unlawfully appropriated to his own use money
intended for and which should have been paid
to the city through the municipal court. At
former time in this investigation Stevens
told you that he proposed to ''annihilate An
ME Watson and her books,' and that failing
so to do he would TASK no leniency at your
hands" Let US see if he has made his
promise good. At the outset let it be under
stood that this task is entered upon with
nance toward none, with charity to alr'-that
however Annie Watson may have sinned.

throne greater than the throne itself, and
owing to the Vaccinations of others she has
been more sinned against than shining
He then gave a general review of the tes-
tImony, interspersed at intervals with COM
ments and theories.
He then took up the ''albi'' testimony
and reviewed it at great length, and placed
considerable stress on the expert testimony
given by G. McC. Reeve. and closed his
case with number of suggestions to the
