-Four Put on Trial From Lexom
Committee Testimony.
NEW YORK, July 19.-The beginning
of trials OF policemen accused before
the LeXow committee threatened at one
stage to result in a sensational break
down today, owing to the counsel for
the defense suddenly flashing a writ of
prohibition on the astonished police
commissioners after Yainly endeavor-
ing to get them to adjourn the
trial. The stay of the proceedings was
only temporary, however, as the case
was laid before Judge GiIderseeve, Of
the superior court, and the tables turned
ny the prosecuting attorneys getting the
writ OF prohibition quashed. Ii was late
in the afternoon before the proceedings
really began, and night session was
held to make up for lost time.
Inc writ OF prohibition was granted
Dy Judge DugrO, Of the city court, on
a1hdavlts OF several witnesses that some
Of the commissioners are legally ex-
ciuded from serving as judges, having
expressed in advance that they pro-
posed To dismiss the defendants regard
less OF the evidence given at the trial.
1 ne witt was granted Oh the additional
ground that no reasonable opportunity
mad been given the defendants to pre-

Capt. Michael Doherty AID his former
Wardmen OF the East Fifth street sta
ton. John Hook, Bernard Meehan and
j. :. Levy, were all put on trial to-
gether. After the trial their cases will
be considered separately by the com
inlssloners. The testimony given today
was similar to that given before the
LeXoW committee, and related to the
levy OF blaekmail upon keepers of dis
orderly houses.

CORK THE RED INK BOTTLE.

On last Monday Mayor Smith issued
an order closing up the gambling de-
vices known as Observation-Disclosures ma
chimes. The order was put Ill force the
same day.
On the day following the gigantic
legal mind of the present city attorney
displayed itself in communication in
the Pioneer Press. inveighing against
the nickel-in-the-slot.
Two days afterwards yesterday the
Pioneer Press communicated TO its
readers three pieces Of information.
One of these was that the gambling
machines Ill question were suppressed
because of the letter of the city attor-
ney: another, that these machines were
not ordered stopped until last Tuesday,
and the third, that there were no nickel
in-the-slot machines in operation in this
city until after Chief Garvin had passed
out of office.
The exact facts are that when Chief
Clark went out of Office two years ago
there was not Observation-Disclosures ma
chine in the city. When he resumed
his Office he found over 800 of Those
gambling devices, which had come in
during the reform administration"
In the same letter. the distinguished
city attorney said if citizens would
make complaints to him of gambling re-
sorts he would prosecute them.
a specimen Of his handiwork in this
direction is now being given. the conf
plants he has drawn being defective,
and gamblers, or alleged gamblers, thus
escaping prosecution.
If Mister McCardy would cork up his
red ink bottle long enough to enable the
city to hire and pay all attorney compe-
tent to draw complaints, there might be
a u.ore effective war waged on gam
blers than results from writing letters
for the newspapers.

AVALUABLE (?) CITY OFFICIAL

-
Now comes that distinguished limb of
the law, Leon L. G. Chamberlain, in a
communication to the Pioneer Press
with statement that he is ready to
bring to bear his all-powerful intellect
to prosecute the gamblers of every
variety. In order to understand more
clearly what causes have led up to this
public declaration of the mighty ex-
FOUNDER of the laws. let us refer to
pleasing recoilectious. 1t is we'll
known fact that under the immediate
eye of this apostle of purity during the
past year or so every species of vice had
existed and fourlshed in this city with.
ont any restraint. Bunco steering and
highway robbery had become active
pursuits, while the cultivation of the
nIckel-in-the-slot. against which this
public benefactor rails, had become
epidemic, and citizens had become
absolutely terrorized in their home and
bust ess relations.
Was this lawless lawyers voice ever
heard before? He says: 1.-The law de-
partment of this city is ready and will
ing at all times to prosecute offenders
against the law" If that department
of the city government had possessed
any brains, or had given that attention
to its legitimate functions which the
people had a right to expect, the city
would not have been mulcted in
S44, 557.62 damages in the matter of
judgments from June l, 1893. to June /,
1S94-an amount which exceeds largely
any previous record, and is S23, las. O5 in
excess of the amount OF the judgments
obtained against the city for corre-
spending period during Mr.. LAWYERS
administration, while it is S34, PAP. Oh In
excess OF the amount of judgments Oh.
tanned against the city for a correspond
ing period during Mr.. Holman's admin
istration.
Since most of the administrative func-
tons of municipal government have
within the past six weeks or so been
assumed by the city comptroller, it
might not be amiss il that officia! would
devote some of his spare time, in con-
junction with this distinguished jurist,
in setting right the evils which have
survived reform and in raising the
moral tone of the city,"
Very little has been gained thus far
by the lncumbency of this product of
the reform council. His courage seems,
however, to have been braced to the
sticking point by the present outcome
of the assembly contest. 1t is possible
that under this incentive be may be
able to do something to justify his off,
cial existence. if he should not succeed,
in the meantime. in rendering himself
something of an official nuisance, as his
associate McCardy has become.
