Lizzie was excited, and presently she
said that she lived with Mrs: Thurow
one month once, and contradicted her
self on several other points. In short,
the hoarse-voiced siren who had come
to do Capt. Doherty good had not helped
his case n little bit. and she was per-
mitted to go without further question.
Policeman Meyer Called.
The first bluecoat to enter the lists in
behalf of Capt. Doherty after recess
was Emanps Meyer now OF ths STne
stripes. and spent part of his fifteen
years service as ward man under Capt.
Doherty in the Fourteenth Precinct. He
testified:

each and Mrs. Thurow was fined 20
We were always under instructions to
watch that house at all times and arrest
any one that was guilty OF disorderly
conduct.
II went to Justice Hogan once to apply
for warrant. He told me he would not
issue general warrant for that house.
but would give me warrant for any wo-
man in the house: Next day ! had one
woman in Special Sessions. and Judge
1T takes more than one woman to
make a disorderly house. She has a
right to do what she likes in her own
room. But II you see any woman call

This was rather a setback for the
theory Of former policeman witness,

warrant.

That's what he said.'
Talk with Lille Sanders.
Meyer was asked about an interview
with a subpoena in her hand. He said:
