care to answer this question. He said that he had never up to this time given the names of the policemen, the req sons for which were first, that the in- formation came to him in a confidential manner and, second, because the police men might thereby place their liveli- hood in jeopardy.
 During his argument on the question Attorney Goodhart said: Under oath the witness has testified that he had no conversation with any officer in ref erence to the commissioner and now he tells you that he has had a conversa- tion with other policemen and citizens in reference to the matter, and now we want to know the names of each and everyone who said anything to him con- cerning the matter and we will summon them in here. It's only a question of fair play that we should be permitted to be brought face to face with our &C., cusers. The fair name of MT. Gilhuly is at stake"
 After the question had also been ar gued by Corporation Counsel Ely Attor- ney Goodhart withdrew the question.
 Attorney Goodhart-Dr, Smyth, is the testimony you have given here tonight in reference to conversations only that which was adduced before the police Investigating committee?
 T think may have alluded to some that came in since the Investigation
 "Will you now tell me the names of the officers and citizens with whom you have had any conversation concerning MT. Gilhuly since that investigation?"
 q have had conversations, or at least think I may have,'I cannot swear pos itively, but as near as I can recollect, with Officers Hyde, Cooper, Williams, Donegan, Superintendent Smith, Cap tains Wrinn and O'Keefe."
 The witness at this stage said that he could not reoollect any conversations with any of the officers in reference to any new thing except what was adduced before the Investigating committee.
 Then you have based your testimo- ny, differences, etc, upon the evidence given before that committee?"
 T should say yes, with the qualifying remark that my impressions might have been influenced by general remarks"
 What did Officer Toronto say toI you?"
 "Something about Gilhuly making a remark that he (Poronto) was too damned officious."
 "when did Officer Toronto tell you this?"
 Tt was some time before the investt- gatlon commenced. I was present at all the hearings of the Investigating committee"
 At this point Attorney Goodhart read the entire evidence given before the po- lice Investigating committee by Officers Toronto, Doran and Roche. This occu- pied the entire balance of the evening, and at II o'clock the meeting adjourned until next Thursday evening, when the cross-examination of Rev. Dr. Smyth will he resumed

4 GIFT TO THE GRAYs.

A Pleasant Surprise at the Oompany's
 Headquarters Last Night-A "Three
 Times Three" /" Given.
 At meeting of the New Haven Grays last evening Captain Mccabe had an agreeable surprise for the mem- bers in the form of an enlarged and handsome three-quarter photograph of General Edward E Bradley, repre- senting him ins his full military uni form as adjutant general of the state on the staff of Governor Luzon B. Nor ris.
 Captain McCabe, on behalf of General Bradley, presented to the company the handsome gift, which was received with three times three gay cheers, In his presentation remarks Captain Me- Cabe said it is a matter of record that the company als long ago as 1870 desired a picture of General Bradley, and now all Grays can justly feel grati6ed in the ownership of one so fine to place in this collection of highly prlzed pictures and portraits of eX-captains. A brief description of each picture reveals the name of many of New HaYen's first citizens, past and present, namely: Captain James M. Townsend. who is the oldest living eX-captain of the coan- pany. Ex-Captain and Major E. Wal ter Osborn of the Twenty-seventh Con- necticut Volunteers, who died of wounds received at the battle of Kinston, N. C., April 6, 1865. EX-Captain Samuel E. Merwin, who was adjutant general of the state on the staff of Governor Jewell. Ex-Captain William Fl. Steele, our present major. Ex-Captain Albert c. Hendrick, who was brigade adju- tant, with rank of lieutenant colonel on the staff of General Stephen R. Smith. Ex-Captain and General Frank D. Sloat, paynaster general on the staff of Governor Andrews. Ex-Cap- tain D. A. Gessner, who is to-day captain in the Second battalion of the Governors Foot Guard. Ex-Captain Lewis L. Morgan, who also as lieuten- ant colonel on the staff of Brigadier General Stephen R. smith, distinguished himself as a popular and efficient off, cer EX-Captain George s. Arnold, who died in the service during his second administration as captain of the com pany, Ex-Captain Benjamin E. Brown now major of the Second battalion of the Governors Foot Guard There are also portraits of Major General Alfred H. Terry, U. s. A.. Hon. Henry G. Lewis and Corporal William A, Good win of Company A, Twenty seventh Connecticut Volunteers, who was killed at Fredericksburg. Va, December 19, 1862. The above is but partial list of the officers whose pictures adorne the walls of the company's quarters in the armory The company's album, how ever, contains nearly a complete line of the pictures of the commissioned off, cers of the company. which dates back to 1916,
