Then Capt. Cross, the lawyer-police-
man. advanced and asked for postpone
ment OF his trial on the ground that he
had been left without counsel by the
illness of Col. Bliss; that he had had no
time to examine and prepare a defense
against the forty-siX charges, partly be-
cause he had been detained as a witness
at Headquarters all day yesterday.
The Captain said he did not seek to
evade the trial. in fact he courted It,
and wanted an adjournment only till
Monday or Tuesday next.
Mr.. Wellman. opposing, said that the
forty-six charges boiled down amounted
really to only five charges, and two of
these must be abandoned. because the
complaining witnesses had disappeared,
left the country. The prosecutor did not
think the handsome Captain had any
thing to do with 1t.
Commissioner Sheehan said he thought
Capt. Cross's request was reasonable, and
moved for an adjournment till Wednes-
day. but he was voted down.
Capt. Cross excepted. and then moved
that he be given a separate trial from
Patrolmen Smith and Barnes. This was
granted, on the plan of the FIVE trials
OF the sergeants that went on yesterday
all at the same time.
