Captain Delaney took the stand after
Mr.. Golf had called Captain and Mrs.
Martens and Captain Meaken without
result.
The captain got sadly mixed up in mis-
answer to Mr.. Goff's questions. He got
hurt about cen years ago while arresti n
! one of Billy McGlory's bartenders at the
Bowery and Hester street. and although
he was shot in the eye, he fired at the
man who was escaping, and shot him
! dead.
The captain made such a silly exhibit
ton of himself that Mr.. Golf said:
81 am sorry, captain, that your wife is
dead. I have always heard you spoken
! of as a brave officer. and | don't think
you have fully recovered from your in

Captain Delaney lost no time in getting
] out of court.
Captain Ryan, OF the klngSbrldge dis
4 trict, was called.
| He, like Delaney, was the possessor of
| a very rich brogue. He was excused un-

his wife's bank books with him.
Commissioner James Martin was then
called to the stand.
"Mr Martin, it has been said the liquor
dealers had ceased to pay money to the
