DETECTIVE HANLEY'S STORY.

The Lexow Investigating Committee,
after a recess of nearly two months and
q half. started in again to make things
warm for the Police Department. The
session was held, as before, in Part II.
of the Superior Court, and a large
crowd was in attendance, as it was ru-
mored that big game would be hunted
this time.
DIR. Parkhurst was on hand early and
had long talk with Senator
Lcxow. Lawyers Friend and House ap-
peared to look after the interests Of
the uniformed force. Police Capt.
Meakim in full uniform and Detective
Sergt. Heidelberg. of the Central Office,
with several brother detectives. Were
on hand.
GoR starts to Work.
Mr.. Golf, the lnqulsitor-in-chief to the
Committee, came in at II o'clock and
after paying his respects to the Senators
set to work arranging his papers with
the aid of his associates. Mr.. Moss and
Detective Hnnicy Called.
The FIRST witness called by Mr.. Golf,
after a short consultation with his assoc
Gates was Charles a. Hanley. Central
Office detective
His examination was suspended, how
ever, to allow MIR. House to address the
Committee. lie said that since MIR.
Nlcoll had withdrawn as counsel for the
Police Department before the Commit
tee he wished to be accorded the priv,
ilcgc of representing the uniformed
force, with the privilege of cross-eXam-
inlng Witnesses.
In reply to this request Mr.. Golf said
he objected to any special recognition
Of a portion Of the police force. He had
not been officially informed, he said, OF
Mr.. Nicolrs resignation as counsel fol
the Police Department, which was only
contained in private letter TO lnspeC'
tor Williams. Nor had he any knowl
edge Of what eN-Judge Ransom, who
had been associated with Mr.. Nicoll as
counsel, would do.
He, therefore, asked that Mr.; Houses
application be denied to avoid compli.
cations. If any section of the force had
representation, every individual would
have the same right to be represented
by counsel, which would lead TO al
sorts of complications.
Lawyer House Cannot Act.
Senator Lexow thought this was rea,
sonable, as the Committee had long age
made the rule that only Mr. Nicol
should represent the Department., ana
N spite of Mr.. Houses protest that ne
had received q retainer for the Police
inspectors, his request was denied.
/ Messrs House and Friend bowed to thu
VIII OF the Committee and retired.
