ton il connection with the Lexow inves-
tigatiOn committee was the appearance OF
Mrs. Hermann on the stand. This was
not sensational on account OF her testl-

OVID free will, but because of the intrlgues
INDUCED in by The representatives. OF the
committee to secure Mrs. Hermann's
presence. AS soon as Justice Potts with
drew his charge OF perjury against Mrs.
Hermann in jersey City she was dis
charged, and representatives OF the LexoW
committee asked her if she desired to go
to New 7 ork and testify voluntarily. She
replied that she did, and was taken to the
ferry in a carriage. There an officer APP
peared and joined the party, armed with a
warrant charging Mrs. Hermann with
criminal contempt of court, which was
only TO be served in case she changed her
mind. Senator Daley. the witness coUn-
sci, knew nothing of her departure from
the jail, and said an hour before she left

lice force % Mr.. Golf asked him if he had
found who issued the circulars to which
his (BOyle's) name was attached, asking
for the names Of people under police pro-
lection. He had not been able TO do SO.
How many men have you recommended

After reading each name Mr.. Golf re-
marked, sis that the limitY' MT. Golf
said that John Sheehan had recommended
twenty-one men.
Senator Lexow arrived at this point and
took the chair. Morris T. Aulsky, ex-
president of the Wholesale LiQuor-iealers'
Association, was called and admitted that
he had sent in names of men to be aD-
pointed on the Grand Jury.
Now why did you want certain men
appointed as grand jurors?" asked Mr..
Geff.

men there who were not ~ejudiced against
the liquor trade"

At this juncIure sensation was caused
by the arrival of Matilda Hermann.
