ooNNEoTIoUTs PURITY WAVE.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb rs. 1885,
Tuesday morning in the City Court when
Police Commissioner John A. Doolittle,
representing Mary Moran, the keeper of
a notorious resort at No. IS Fair street.
and Ethel Gordon, an inmate, moved for
the reduction of the bond of Florence
CLARK, a former inmate who had given
the evidence on which the place was
raided. Attorney J. F. Wynne made
the charge that the object of the motion
was to defeat the ends of justice. inti-
mating that the Clark woman. who was
the only witness against Mary Moran,
would not appear when the case was
calIed- Police Commissioner Doolittle
stated to the Court that the Clark wom-
an was out of town. He telegraphed her
yesterday afternoon to be in court this
morning, but she had not shown up,
and therefore he asked for continu-
ance until Saturday of the cases. AS
sistant City Attorney Matthewman did
not object to the continuance, as the
Clark woman was his principal witness.
Much interest is manifested in the out
come of this strange proceeding, par
ticularly as Police Commissioner Doo-
little, who is in an embarrassing posi-
ton, is member of the local Lexow
Committee.
