Mr.. Hazeltou objected because he said that

THE MILLER AND JONES RAID.

WHO GAVE RILEY INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRO-
POSED RAID ON HIM.
Detective Raft was called and asked by Mr..
Hazleton if he had ever said anything to Riley
before the raid on his place, made by himself,
Block and Burgess. and that proved futile.
Raft denied positively having said ANYTHING 10
ahOnt " Hoza tim at
once gave tho witness over to the defense.
''Do You know anything that would lead
yon to think that Guy ever warned Hiley?"
asked MIR. Claughton.
No. sir" said Raft, ''and I will explain that
raids often fail IN the different precincts; one
OF the chief reasons being that all policy shops
keep spies In front, and whenever officer
comes within half a square of the house the
warning Is given out at once and all the policy
papers are hidden or destroyed, and we often
md them slowed away in stoves or III other
such places"
Mr.. Hazelton announced that this closed the
case for the District, but on reconsideration
said that he might have one more witness
after recess. MIR. Claughton protested against
taking q recess and said that he wanted to 20
right on with the case, but Commissioner Doug
lass said that there lot Of
other District matters that must be attended to
and that they must adjourn until o'clock to-
morrow. Tor, you know. We must find out

Ex-PoLICEMAN SMITHS STRANGE STATEMENT
Whether ex-Policeman Smith will give evil
dence in the case before its termination or not
remains to be seen, but it is claimed that when
the defense opens effort will be made to
show the use OF money in the case.
Smith, it is claimed, was rendered money by
persons who attempted to serve the summons
issued for him, but whether it was rendered as
fee or not Smith cannot say. Smith saws that
Policemen Boland, Weldon and Williams were
the members of the force who served the sub
pena Oh him and that Private Detective Will
Jams was the fourth man who attempted the
mission. Each of them, Smith told STAR
reporter, had % for him, and Officer Boland
put the money IN his pocket, but he (Smith)
threw it out of his pocket. Now he says he
is sorry he did not take the % and spend it.
Attorney Hazelton said to a STAR reporter
that he knew nothing of the money; that if it
was done it was not by his (Hazeltons) direc-
ton. 1t is claimed by some that the money
was not rendered to influence Smith, but in
order to make the subpoena binding, as IL is
claimed is done in civil cases.
