terday by the LcNnw committee of the
state senate Mr. Gon was. as prior to
the adjournment two months ago the in
quisitor-iu.chief He first stretched De
tective Sergeant Charles a. Hauley upon
the rack.
A handsome gold watch which Hauley
carried served as a text for Mr. Gof's in
terrogations, which were directed to-
ward showing that the police were upon
too friendly terms with the pawnhrokers
for the good of the public that persons
who had been robbed and whose property
found its way to the pawnshops were
obliged to pay the keepers Of those places
all the money advanced before they would
be permitted to reclaim that which had
been stole.,, and that il was not an un-
common thing for a pawnbroker to sell
officers valuable articles at ridiculously
low prices.

with McNally because 'the king" had
money and he could borrow when broke

they were sent him by McNally. One OF

! Goff In the letter Sloan complained that
he was not well treated by McNally
although he had received twenty-four tele
grams from guys in answer to green
| goods circulars he had sent out. He kept
a pool room open in different parts of the
city and explained the methods adopted
by friendly policemen TO warn him of ap
preaching trouble.
