The witness wanted to explain that his testi-

Mr.. Con insisted upon a categorical answer,
ator o'Connor came to the aid OF the witness
by saying that unless n criminal intent was
cred perjury. Mr. don informed the Senator
with some asperity that the law inferred Grim
inal intent from the act, and an unproftable
but lengthy legal discussion resulted. Mr.. Con-

MR.. GoFF TAKES A REST.
But Mr.. GoH was tired out. 1t was plain TO be
seen that he could not keep up the examination
much longer with any spirit. He stands on his
feet always in examining witnesses, and during
the examination OF the Inspector was making
ments in all stages of illegbility: With another
witness he might have continued another hour,
but with the antagonistic force which the
Inspector seemed TO exert he was nearly
prostrated. There was a long silence while Mr..

The Inspector wanted to take advantage OF
any testimony concerning which he wished to
make a statement. He recalled the testimony
of the old German named Schubert, who testf-
fed months ago that he had been run out OF
business at 42l Pearl street, where. in 1875.
Williams had arrested him. his wife, and niece
on the false charge OF keeping a disorderly
house. The witness had lot OF documents

career which he carried down TO Mr.. Goff's

"All right, Mr.. Goff," said the Inspector, and
he ploughed his way out through the crowd like
a steam snow plough through a drift.

Mr.. Con then called Louis $. Streep. who told
this story without question; In 1899 he WAS ar
rested by Anthony COmstJck for printing green
goods circulars, Al that time. lie said. he had
rented his printing Office 10 y man named Bech-
tod, while he, the witness, was in the country.
While he was in the Tombs BeChtold gave
Streep's wife $4,000 in cash to deposit for her
husbands ball. Before she deposited il, Bech-
