about a month before. She told him
that Mr.. Croker had brought home a
large sum of money about that time and
that she sat up at night to guard it
until he arrived at the house. Witness
had heard nothing to show it
was the same money. Senator Nc
Naughton asked witness a number Of
questions, presumably in explanation of
his testimony, but no one except him
self, McCann and Senator FasSett heard
either questions or answers.

cluded, Mr.. Cochran called as witness
James II. Dunham, of Dunham, Buckley

fed thrt he would not believe Mccain
under oath if he had any motive TO
testify falsely.

Mayor Grant was then called to the
witness chair. The Mayor positively
denied having any knowledge of any
agreement by which Mr.. Croker was to
be appointed Commissioner of Public
Works He denied that he ever
told McCann or any one else
that if it had not been for
Croker; he Grant would have taken
his share of the Broadway railroad
Doodle. He knew nothing about the
SlsO,OOO McCann had spoken OF. Go
far as he knew, McCann's testimony on
that subject was utterly untrue. He had
never been a candidate for Commission
er of Public Works. He had never con-
tributcd any sum OF money TO fund
TO secure his appointment to
that Office. He never con-
trbuted to any fund, or had any
knowledge of any fund TO secure any
ones appointment 10 that office. QucS-
toned by Mr. Choate as 10 his relations
to Richard Croker and his family, Mayor
Grant said he had been very intimate
with Mr.. Croker and his family. He
was godfather TO Mr.. Croker'S child
FlOSSie When he assumed that re-
sponsiblity, as he he had no nearer
relative than a cousin and
no other obligations, he had determined
to make some substantial provision for
her. On one occasion he had given her
$1,000, and subsequently $4,000 or
$1,000. He never gave her any other
present. except such as he gave to her,
and to Mr.. Croker's other children at
Christmas and other such Oc-
caSionS. The money was given to the
child in the presence of the father and
mother. The child gave the money TO
its mother. The presents were free
and without any understanding or agree
ment, or in consideration of his election
as Sheriff.

whose seats in the frstnamed room were in
the northwest corner Of the apartment near
the windows, where there is draft. The bar
association has since taken up the subject OF
quarters for the courts and a committee has
been appointed on the subject The old CITY
hall, where the courts are held. was erected
about sixty years ago and was for years used
for both municipal officers and courts the
mayor and corporation officers occupying
rooms in the west end, while the basement
rooms were used armories for the Columbian
artillery and other military companies The
old aldermen's chamber was formerly used by
the Probate Court and is now in possession OF
the civil service commission, while the sur
veyor's Office Is located in the corresponding
rooms in the east wing. The business OF the
courts has Kept pace with the growth OF the
population. and at no very distant day all the
space in the hall will be needed for the courts
The old building is in such condition that
a new and larger building for the courts would
seem TO be the only proper measure of relief
