q continuance of the sessions into July,
and the probable connection between
this and the announcement by Mr..
Croker that he will cut short his stay
in Europe n return to this city early
in July.
Mr.. Goff, the leading counsel of the
Committee. was mute upon all these
subjects this morning. He reached his
Office early and settled down to work
Immediately preparing for the reopening
of the investigation tomorrow.
Old Harry Hill, who proved such. an
interesting witness last week, was wait

went on the witness-stand last week
Harry said that he was unprepared to
testify accurately as to dates and pisces
Of his transactions with Capt. Murphy,
the amounts Of payments, and the like,

Croker's departure for the other side. he
must decline to say anything about his
return.
