of the family, is. OF course, perfectly familiar
with The methods employed TO obtain that 1udg-

knowledge. 1t was some of the most damaging
testimony this jury has yet heard on any sub
iect.
THE FOUNDING HOME.
Still more testimony was taken in the Found

Directors were all requested 10 be present. also

noyed by so many in the same way, yet
he should not be allowed 10 show such
vicious disposition without being st least
made acquainted with the fact that he IS
violating the law in so doing. A citizen
who witnessed his violent outbreak yes
terday in whipping the little Gross boy
who resides on Third avenue. called on
Officer Glass 10 arrest the man, saying
he would appear against him, but
the officer ignored the request and

citizen as to his seeming neglect of dlty.

arrest made, belongs 10 sect whom tie

question naturally arises, is it necessary

of the law.
