dcnce Which He Was Presented.
Judge Moore heard argument in Brooklyn
yesterday upon Mayor Boody's application for
the evidence upon which the June Grand Jury
presented him. and expressed regret that they
could not indict him for approving the rail-
road franchise resolution. EX- X-Secretary Tracy
appeared for Mayor Boody. and both his speech
and his clients AFFIDAVIT bristled with accusa-
tions OF perjury.
In his affidavit Mayor Boody defended his
action in signing the resolution. declared that
the terms on which the franchises were granted
were to the advantage OF the city and as
serted that no act of his justified tho present
ment. and that 1t could have been based only
on false and perjured testimony. Gen. Tracy
argued that 1t was not the purpose or the
policy Of the law to shield witnesses from the
penalty OF perjury when it was committed
within the secrecy OF the Grand Jury room.
He also defended Mayor Boodys course, and
said that the Union Street Railway Company,
city to accept its obligations for $25O.0O0, al
paid II capital was only 500.
District Attorney Rdgway favored the ap-
plication, saying that In fairness Mayor Boody
should haye Q chance to reply to the evidence
upon which the pre- sentiment WAS based. Judge
Moore agreed with this sentiment but re-
served decision upon the application.
