 "Oh, yes, certainly; very many" re- piled the doctor.

 DO you still refuse to give the names of any officers who gave you informa- ton prior to the investigation?' asked Attorney Goodhart.
 q do" replied Dr. Smyth.
 "Did you have talk with Officer Toronto before the investigation?"
 "I decline to answer"
 Did you with Officers Cooper or FIyde?"
 Dr. Smyth-I decline to answer yes or no to any question in reference to the names of any officer or citizen who 1 spoke to me before the investigation unless am compelled to do so by the court of last resort in the state of Con- nectcut.

 Attorney Goodhart-Do you know or has Officer Bradley ever said anything to you about his or any other officer being influenced by Gilhuly?
 Dr. Sn1yth-No, sir.
 Attorney Goodhart-Now, doctor won't you turn to the much discussed testimony of Officer Cooper.

 Dr. Smyth--I said that I could not swear as to the names of the officers,
 Attorney Goodhart-When did Officer Toronto tell you that other officers were influenced in the discharge of their duties by any remarks?

 Dr. Smyth-My recollection is that during a conversation with Officer Por- onto he conveyed that impression to me
 Attorney Goodhart-Did he tell you that any other officers had been i'm fluenced?
 pr. Smyth-As nearly as I can recol- lect, l should say yes. Upon reflection l my best recollection is that in a con versation with the officer in reference | to the relation of Commissioner Gilhuly | to the saloons Is that they either were | backed by Gilhuly or backed him. | can't say which, and that it was best | not to interfere with the saloons be- | cause of the relations between the com l missioner and the saloons
 Attorney Goodhart-Did you hear Officer Toronto deny these statements | when he was on the stand?
 Dr. Smyth-I did.

 Dr. Snyth-Personally no.

 pr Smyth-I have heard Officers Jackson, Hyde, Cooper, sergeants Crocker and Cook.
 Did they or any of them allude to Gilhuly?"
 pr. Smyth-Not by name, but they referred to their business. They spoke of commissioners selling soft stuff. I them to refer to CIancey and Gilhulq

"That is the testimony, isn't it?" Dr. Smyth--Yes, sir. AI.. t,
