Capt. Schmittberser; He Simply
Doesn't Remember.

The Lexow Committee made another
change of base to-day and resumed its
work of investigating police corruption
in Part III. of the Superior Court in
stead OF the old General Sessions build
to the effect that Mr.. Goff the chief
inquisitor, was prepared to strike for
higher game when he got the Senators
together again, but there were no Police
Commissioners about the Court House
previous to the opening of the session.
and the counsel for the Committee was
dumb as to their plans.
Police Capts. Schultz and Eakins were
on hand. however, and a squad of seedy-
looking individuals, with blackened eyes
and otherwise disfgured countenances,
in the front row of seats reserved for
witnesses, seemed to indicate that clubs
would again be trumps. A number of
patrolmen and roundsmen had also been
summoned, which further supported
this conjecture.
Patrick Kelly, an iron-worker, who
accuses Policeman Schroeder, OF the
Eighty-eighth street station, of picking
his pocket OF SO cents, and three others
of aseaulting him. was on hand. and
Newsdealer Trywusch, who says the
Elizabeth street police got a Fourth
Ward tough to do him up because hi
had testified against Policeman Lynch
at the last session OF the Committee
was also ready to tell the Senators OF
his new grievance.
Chairman Clarence Lexow came in
just before II o'clock, and was imme-
diately besieged for information as to
the programme which had been laid
out for the week.
Don't ask me about it," he said
It's all in the hands of Mr.. Goff. Ii
you want any information, go to him. -
The other members of the Committee

Father Ducey was an interested spec
