 Captain O'Keefe-I think it has.
 Attorney Goodhart-Did you ever in- innate to Dr. Smyth or the investigat- ing committee that Commissioner Gill huly was the commissioner who went and tried to nulIify his vote? Captain O'Keefe-I did not. | Attorney Goodhart-Then if Dr. Smyth said that he received any such impression from you he was mistaken, wasn't he?
 Captain O'Keefe-He certainly was.
 This ended the cross examination and MT. Ely again took the witness in hand, and in reply to his questions Captain O'Keefe said that he had an impression that the officers all thought that Com missioner Giluly was opposed to the enforcement of the liquor law. Thomas F. Gaule was the next wit ness called He testified that he had lived in New Haven twenty-five years, was a machinist by trade, but now was
 
 Commissioner Gilhuly," he sadd land met him in saloon on Hamilton street known as the Casino, on the last Sun day or the Sunday before the last Sun day in September. I wanted a drink and so l went in. I saw him go in and I said to myself he's going to get a drink and I am going to have one too. There were five or six people in the saloon.

 Certainly was. must have been," said the witness. T was in saloons every Sunday"
 Attorney Goodhart-How many sa- looms were you in2
 "Oh, I guess half the saloons in New Haven" replied the witness amid gen eral and prolonged laughter.
 Attorney Goodhart here introduced a record which showed that the witness had been in Sprinside home from July 28 to August 13. Now, when you say that you were in a saloon every Sunday in July and August you were mistaken, were you not?"
 ''Yes, I guess I must have been"
 Attorney Goodhart-But you are not mistaken about seeing Commissioner Gilhuly in the saloon on that particular Sunday. are you?
 "Oh, no, I couldn't possibly be mis- taken about that. It made an i'm pression on me" Cloud laughter.) "I told MT. Smyth about seeing the com missioner being there about week ago.
 Attorney Goodhart-Have you talked with anybody other than MT. Smyth about the case?
 "Yes, Policeman Higgins and man named Coxey, but I don't remember anyone else"

 Sergeant Albert Bradley of the Grand | avenue precinct was the next witness. | He testified as follows: q have heard | officers say what is the use of our try Ing to do anything or break our necks when the commissioners don't want us to. It was common talk. I have a great many times heard officers say hat men as Clancey and Gilhuly ought | not to be commissioners, but the com nissioners should be selected from some other line of business. They gave no 'easons for such statements. but said hat we ought to have professional men ,n the commission.
 Commissioner Gilhuly frequently anne into the precinct but never said anything about the men. never leard him speaking to any officer about he liquor law or amy other law. can rot remember the name of any officer yho made any remark about there be- ng no use in breaking our necks, etc The officers spoke about the general do- ngs of the commissioners but not about he liquor law. I presume though that hey referred to the enforcement of the iquor law when they said commission rs didn't want us to do anything. that when the officers said hat they didn't want the i'll will of the nen who were supplying the saloons with soft stuff that they referred to Clancy and Gilhuly."
