A FLIMSY CASE.
Accused Boston Police Officers Stand Better
Than Their Accusers.

Boston, Dec. 13.-At the police bribery
hearing, today, the prosecution presented
a new witness, Mrs. Mary Daley of
Somerville, who testified that she had seen
Smith in Simpsons eating saloon on
Leverett street, in October, and he did not
pay for what he ate Saturday night,
October 13, Smith came in about 1870,
again at g 80, and finally about 3. She
was lying on divan, when Smith took
her by the feet and made her get up, and,
taking off his belt, coat and hat, he laid
down and slept till 5.45, Sunday moning.
About ). 80 another officer came in and
told her to wake Smith at 5.45 if he did
not wake up himself.
Patrolman Ryan concluded his testi-
mony, which was in brief flat denial of
all charges against him.

his wife again separately, and the result
was that in several cases they fatty con-
tradicted the testimon they had previously
given against the officers, creating an evil
dent reaction in favor of the officers in
the minds of the police commissioners.
The latter plainly showed disgust at the
1imsiness of the compliments evidence.
Among other things brought out was
the fact that at the time when the pay
ment of money was said to be made to
Officer Ryan, when the latter was in full
uniform, Ryan was on vacation and was
not wearing his uniform at all.
Assistant Chief Inspector Watts, form
erly in command of the station, Lieut..

For years I was troubled with most
alarming and painful symptoms of dys-

and slecplessncss. During these many
years of illness consulted the best of au-
thoritics on the diseases of the digestive
organs, specialists of great renown pro

ing that my stomach was infested with
cancers. / have tried countless numbers
of so-called medicines that were recon-
mended to me or otherwise bought to my
notice. Like O drowning man catching at
q straw would buy bottles after bottles of
Sarsaparila and other medicines / saw
advertised in the papers, giving them all
a thorough trial. All of these, although
highly spoken of by persons whose integ-
rity / could not doubt, proved worse than
useless in my case, and l kept growing
steadily worse. / became at last con
WINGED that the numerous physicians l
had consulted were right and that my
disease was indeed incurable. Giving up
all hopes, the only course left for me was
to reduce the pain to minimum. This
was obtained by eating as little as would
keep body and soul together, and alb
staining from all substances containing
fats. sugar and starch. Some months
since a kind friend gave me bottle OF
Red Seal Sarsaparilla. AT first would
not take it as i had lost faith in every
thing believing that5od alone could bring
relief. Being told, however. that this Sar-
saparilla was prepared in n peculiar man
ner of its own whereby certain injurious
principles contained in most all such pre-
partitions were effectually eliminated, at
last, but still without much hope, gave IL
II trial. / fcrvently thank God that in HIS
goodness He has allowed me to lind THIS
precious medicine. Finding relief win
the first bottle obtained more, and Kept
taking it until today / am completely
