When the Guy trial adjourned Wednesday
afternoon it went over until 10 o'clock this
morning. as it was necessary for Mr. Claugh-
ton attorney for the defense, to leave town for
a couple of days. There was not as large an
audience around the board room this morning
at the time set for the trial to commence, and
most of those who were present were those
whose faces have become familiar on the other
days of the investigation. As rule they we're
witnesses who have already given their testi-
mony and who were actuated by an interest in
the further development and final outcome of
the case.
ours REPUTATION
The object of the defense at the beginning
was evidently TO further prove the general good
character of Guy and Mr. Clsughton said that
it had been his intention to call Mr.. Thomas
J. Luttrell. but that he was unavoidably absent
In Luttrell's stead MIR. Frank Hume was called
and he testified that he had known Lieut. Guy
for about twenty years and had never known
anything but good of him.
Mr.. Calvert, clerk in the War Department,
was next summoned for the same purpose He
had known Guy for nearly twenty six years and
his testimony was corrOborative of Mr.. Hume's.

Mr. Calvert also stated that he had made the
attempt to find out if it was possible to see
into Herzogs fourth story window in his house
on street. Block testified in this case that
it was possible to see into the room and that

going ON there. Mr.. Calvert denied this and
SAID that 1t was scarcely possible to distinguish
the heads of persons standing up in the room
while anyone sitting down would have been in
visible from the street
Sergt. Irunnell also gave testimony about
this attempt. as he was up stairs i'll the room
while 1t was being made. Officer Martin
u Brlen. who was standing on l. street with Mr.
Calvert corroborated his testimony Officer
McNealey was standing on l. street. and. mount
ing tree box was still unable to see into the
room. The window, it was stated. is an ordi-
nary-sized one, and about three and half feet
from the floor.
SHE GATHERED UP THE THINGS.
This finished up the matter Of Herzog's win
dow and Mrs. Catherine Barber was called to
the stand to testify to the raid that Officer Mad
dox and others made on Riley's policy place. She
testified that she was in the kitchen when the
raid was made. When the officers entered she
walked over to the table and. wrapping up all
the policy papers and paraphernalia that were
table cloth and brought them back on the fol-
lowing day. All this she did In response to a
look OF suggestion from Mrs. Riley.
GUY CoNTRADICTs ARNOLD.
Lieut. Guy was then recalled to answer Ar
nold's testimony wherein he said that Guy had
at one time made the statement that he (Guy)
was willing to swear to falsehood at any time
to get himself out of trouble or to better him
self Guy denied this point blank and said
that he had never made any such statement
III reference to Shurlands testimony about his
Offering him the use of Masonic emblem to
enable him to get into Mrs. Boyd's house Guy
testified that he had jokingly said at one time
that he supposed II he loaned Shurland his en-
bleIn it would admit him readily enough. as
Mrs. Boyd had stated that she only received
friends who were MasOns or knights Templar.
Lieut.. Guy said that he had never really offered
the emblem nor had he spoken as though he
ever really contemplated any such action.
ARNOLD ON THE STAND.
Ex-Lieut. Arnold, who had been telegraphad
for in answer to a request from Mr. Claughton
now made his appearance and took his place in
the witness chair. Mr.. Claughton asked him
if he had had anything to do with the prosecu-
tion of this case and Mr.. Arnold said that he
would answer in the negative. II have been
and If pressing for my own reinstatement in
volved the prosecution of this case then have
had all to do with it,
When asked If he had anything to do with
Atchlsons appearing to testify Arnold said that
Atchison came to him four years ago and told
him what he knew about the matter. He did
not get Atchison to testify at that time as he
realized that until the present board Of Com
missiOners was appointed there was no chance
for him to get any justice. Under the old
board one OF the members the one in charge of
police matters, was SO prejudiced against him,
said Mr.. Arnold, that there NO use in his
trying to get any just treatment at their hands
WAS is not the Wheatley board that re-
moved your" asked Mr.. Hazleton.

willing to close his case without this important
testimony, as he referred to Mr.. Tally. the man
who Atchison testified had offered him an en-
velop containing go for Lieut.. Guy
1t was decided after a little consultation that
