New York, Nov 3.-The Lexow COM
mittee has closed it's investigator for
the time bcing, and no Aurtne1 a't&Dipts
will be made to probe the depef neats
of the crimes of New York until after
election.
An adjournment has been taken until
November 10. when the labo:s of TIE
committee will be resumed.
The interest in the investigator con-
tinues undiminished up to the close.
Just before the committee concluded
it's labors for the day, NJ. Goff was
praised for his energy and persistence
in conducting the examination and
with loud cheers for that lawyer the
crowd dispersed.
Mrs. Hermann resumed the witness
chair before the Lexow committee to-
day. At the outset, she made this vol
untary statement:
81 am not afraid Of Judge Hogan or
Recorder Smythe. I see in the morn
ing papers they deny what said. I
can prove that what I said is true, and
can tell lots more"
Lots more?" repeated Mr.. Golf.
'sThey have threatened to indict me
for what have said. I am not afraid
of Judge Hogan"
Here the woman became intensely
excited and pointing out Policeman
Petternan, who sat near the railing,
she shrieked:
you're a thief How dare you sit
there looking at me so? You took
money from my sister,"
The witness half rose and trembling
with emotion continued:
You are the man; you and another
policeman, who ruined my niece, who
was once a good girl. The police ought
to be ashamed-ashamed-"
This caused great excitement. When
it had subsidized Mr.. Golf asked the wit
ness:
"Was Captain Ryan, who is present
in court one of the men who met you
at midnight and told you to leave
town."

came to me said Captain Ryan had

Now, is there anything you would
like TO tell?" te
ooh, Mr.. Golf, it would take me a
week to tell everything. I was not go
ing to say much, but I am a French
woman and quick to get mad. Sena-
tor DAILY, in Jersey City, begged me not
to come over here until after election,
saying the Lexow committee would be
powerless then. There is house in

to my house at midnight with a. war
rant. I gave him $50 not to take me to
a cell that night. Then went to see a
well known lawyer who told me to note
every incident"
"And that lawyer was me?" asked
Mr.. Golf.

The last charged involved Miss
Berthold. The witness was taken to
Jefferson Market police court

land paid him $3.50 in bills. I was held
by Judge Koch to the grand jury.
Afterward Lawyer Friend wanted $3.50.
Sergeant O'Toole got 5000 out of me.
Frink said O'Too1e would get people to
swear anything against me, so I was
forced to give the sergeant 5000. I also
gave Friend $500. for which he said he
would keep me from being tried
But you were indicted?'
Yes, but have never been brought
to trial.
Sergeant O'Toole was In court and
Whitehead identified him.

Tears were in O'Toole's eyes.
did you pay any more money!"
Lots more. I paid a lawyer named
Gottleib $500 by the advice Of my
friend, who said Gottlieb would get
people to testify against me if I did
not buy him"
The money was paid to Gottleib by
check, and the check was offered in
evidence.
Did you pay any more to Sergeant
O'Toole?"
Yes, I sent him $50 by a Mrs. Rug
giles. Sergeant O'Toole said he was
going to give it to Judge Koch to re-
duce the bail in a womans case 1 was
interested in. I don't know whether
O'Toole gave the money to Judge
Koch"
"But the bail was reduced?"

Mrs. Ruggles was placed on the
stand. She is known as mission
worker in the slums. Witness testified
that some time ago Mr.. Golf asked her
to take $50 to Sergeant O'Toole from
the Doctor HE took the money and
said everything would be all right"
DR.. Whitehead resumed his testi-
mony.

operation performed. 1 declined on the
ground that L had been in enough
trouble. The police were prosecuting
me. She said: A judge is responsible
for my condition. and asked me what
justice l had been arraigned before
i When I told her Judge Koch, she ex-
| claimed: Great God, that's the judge
who has gotten me this way five times
She told me to see Judge Koch. I did
so. He said Why, has my girl been
to you? I've had her that way five

Judge Koch turned to Friend and
said: I'm in trouble with that Alex
ander woman again
THE woman came to my house again.
Meanwhile, 1 had told Golf he was to
have half a dozen detectives on hand
to hear statements regarding Judge
| Koch. She came before the appointed
| time and when I put her off, she went
to another doctor who treated her."
Mrs. Ruggles again testified she had
visited the Alexander woman, who
told her she could not wait for DR..
Whitehead, because she was an actress
and had to fill an engagement.
DR.. Whitehead resumed the stand
He had been anxious to be brought to
trial, but had not succeeded. He had
engaged Lawyer Hugh u. PentacoSt
who contracted for $3.50 to have the
indictments dismissed or return the
money. The witness agreed to this eff
feet and the agreements were produced
in evidence.
Lawyer Pentacost has kept the
money, but the indictments are not dis
missed" said the witness.
Lawyer Pentacost was present.
Mr.. Golf said 1t had been proven that
a horrible state of corruption existed
in official life in New York City.
Senator Pound praised Mr.. Golf for
his energy, courage and endurance in
prosecuting the committees work.

he had been arrested four times, once
for sending improper literature through

$780, I offered him a. check, but he
wanted money. While I was waiting;
