been since supplanted by Attorney Moore.
against p. Butterhoff He swore the in
formation before Squire Cassidy, and knew
no more about the affair till the next day,
when Squire Doughty sent for him and
made him present of some money, without
stating what it was for. Doughty said to
Bauder, who was there:
ST want to make something out of this.
Don't settle for cent less than $780,"
ABUSE AND NUDGING.
This all occurred in the back Office, while
Butterhoff was waiting in the front room.
They then went into the front room, and
the Squire pretended to abuse witness very
fiercely for suing Butterhof, nudging him
all the time with his elbow. Everything
happened after that as Butterhoff had de-
posed.
After that witness and Doughty went to
Squire Cassfdy's, where they met Consta-
BILE King, VINO said he wanted hearing of
the case. as he wished to make some money
on it. Doughty had talk with King, and
gave him S., saying he had only got SIS al
together. They then adjourned to a saloon,
where Doughty:siipped S35 into an envelope
and handed if to witness without King see>
ing. Witness then went to the agency Of
fee and handed Bauder $25, keeping $40
for himself. Bauder gave Doherty some
money out of the spoils. Witness never
knew that Squire Doughty had netted so
big sum as $75. If be did he'd have
Kicked" and got more for himself. This
was the only case witness was ever employed
in by Bauder; but he "knew of other cases"
carried on by the agency. Among these
was that of Mrs. Byrnes, of Penn avenue,
who went straight to her lawyer, Mr.. john
son, and got out of the agency's clutches.
Witness himself succeeded in
sPoILING BAUDER's PLANS
a short time ago in the case of Maude Ray
mond, of p Julius street. This was reput-
ed disorderly house, and Bauder and Stoner
started out to levy blackmail there. A
friend of Miss Raymond's got witness to 60
to Julius street before Bauder and warn
her to pay no money to Bauder. He did
accordingly; but when he saw Bauder and
Stoner coming he got out by the back door,
The case was afterward discharged by
Squire Maneese. and witness thinks Bau-
der got no money.
Cross-examined by defendant, Bauder,
witness admitted that he met Officer Gum
bert on the way to Raymond. He might
have offered Gumbert $50 to get the case
stopped, but didn't remember doing So
Witness left the agency several days before
he was arrested. He tore up his commits
sion.
at this stage Major Montooth applied for
the release of defendant, Dominic Gala
gherf on the ground that no evidence had
been brought forward against him.
Gallagher was then called and sworn.
He was an old Pittsburg citizen, and
had been Alderman in the Eleventh
ward from 1875 to 1880. He was at present
constable to Alderman Maneese. De-
fendant Doyle one day asked him to ac-
company him to serve a warrant on a man
named Arnodt. He showed witness the
warrant, which was quite legal and signed
by Alderman Maneese. They went to Ar
nodt's and
SERVED THE WARRANT;
but Arnodt succeeded in eluding Doyle.
He was never a member of the agency, and
never bad any money transactions with any
of defendants. After some consideration
Squire Hyndman decided that there was no
evidence duplicating Gallagher, and he was
let go free accordingly.
Attorney Stone then applied for defendant
Doherty's release, and Doherty was sworn.
He admitted being one of Bauder's agents,
for which he was paid 50 week and his ex-
penses. He always considered the agency
legal one, as commission signed by Clerk
of Courts McGunnigle hangs up in the Office
in the Excelsior building. Doyle promised
to "learn witness the business" and they
set him to work ferreting out speak-easies,
giving him IS to pay for drinks. He knew
very little about the money affairs Of the
agency. He had seen Bauder pay Lawyer
Moore on two occasions; and once Bauder
sent him with a sealed letter to Robert Lid
dell, the brewer. who gave him $l5. Witness
brought this to Bauder.
In John Houses case Bauder sent him
with letter to Mr.. Liddell, who then gave
him 50. This sum Bauder sent to Alderman
Maneese as costs in the House case, but
MANEEsE REFUSED To. TAKE IT,
saying he guessed he'd wait awhile; it was
then put away the cash. When witness
joined the agency he knew of several speak
easies, and he reported them to Bauder.
Bauder supplied all his agents with note
books Witness may have reported dozen
cases in all. A week or two ago he was to
have been witness against Mr.. Cole, of
South Fortieth street, before Alderman
Lohrman, but he went as musician
On the newsboys' picnic instead.
The case fell through in consequence
of the absence of witness. Witness never
saw Bauder after that till he met him in
Jail. Witness had received $40 from the
agency in all. Lawyer G. Moore was con-
stantly at the office. Witness was sent to
arrest Maude Raymond on Julius street.
He took her to Maneese's, where defendant
Brockett went her bail. Robert Liddell
had been surety for Bauder when he was
getting his agency licensed. Witness said
the methods of the agency had been to enter
speak-easies, and, on Sunday, regular
saloons, and to ask for drinks. If they got
drink they reported the matter to Bander.
Here the witness examination concluded
and Mr.. Stone again asked for his dis
charge. Mr.. Rourke appealed also for the
discharge Of defendant Doyle, arguing that
be had not been connected with any con-
,piracy. The Squire, however, could not
