,GILHULY'S TRIAL RESUMED
SEVERAL SENSATIONAL FEATURES
 AT LAST NIGHTS HEARING.

Former Inmate of Springsde Home
 Captain o'Keefe, Sergeant Bradley and
 Officer Cooper Testify.
 The investigation of the charges
 against Police Commissioner Gilhuly
 was resumed in the councilmanic cham
 Der. which was again crowded to it's
 utmost capacity, last night. Aldermen
 Skiff, Leary Parish and Reyes were the
 only absentees. pr. Smyth, whose
 cross-examination has not been com pleted, was not present, and the evening
 was taken up with the examination of Captain O'Keefe and several other off,
 cers and Thomas F. Gaule janitor of the Yale mission.
 Captain O'Keefe was the first witness called. He said: q have been on the police force thirty-two years and cap tain of station about three years. I testified before the police commission CTS and told what I thought about the liquor law and it's enforcement. I tes- tified there that thought Officers Meigs and Flynn had been spoken to by a commissioner in reference to the en- forcement of the liquor law, but I did not know what was said to them or who said it. When I made that statement I meant that the commissioners were somewhat interested"
 "Who were the commissioners you re- ferred to?" inquired Corporation Coun- seI Ely.
 "To Commissioner Cl4ncey. I also heard from Officer Jackson that Com missioner Gilhuly had seen him after raid" answered the captain. "He came to me and told me that two commissions CTS had been to see him after raid. Commissioner Gilhuly was one. I don't remember that the officer told me what the commissioner said to him, I stated to the committee that I might have
 been mistaken in reference to Meigs." ''To whom did you refer when you said Commissioners in the plural?" per- sisted MT. Ely.
 T don't remember having so used the word. I mean to say now that do not think Commissioner Gllhuly had said anything to Officer Meigs. That is my best recollection. told the committee that several of the officers had been seen after raids and mentioned the names of Officers Jackson Flynn and Meigs, but later I found out that was wrong in reference to the latter off, cer."
 What commissioners did you hear mentioned as having seen officers af- forwards? ?'
 "Commissioners Cfancey and An drew" replied the captain. T have never heard of Commissioner Gilhuly saying anything to any officer except Officer Jackson" replied Captain O'Keefe.
 ''Do you think that it is good thing for the force to have commissioners go to see officers after raid?"
 q object" said Attorney Goodhart. Corporation Counsel Ely, however, in- sisted upon the question and the all dermen decided to admit it.
 Captain O'Keefe-I do not think it Is a good thing.
 What impression did this matter make upon your mind, captain?"
 q thought perhaps that the commits sioners did not want the liquor law rig idly enforced and I think the same im- pression was made upon Officer Jack son"
 What commissioners do you under stand were opposed to the enforcement of the law, if any?" asked MT. Ely.
 q don't know as I could name any particular commissioner, and I don't | know as had any special commission | CT in my mind when made that state- ment don't think I had anything | else in mind except the matter of the l Sunday detail" replied the captain
 "What did you mean when you said ! before the police Investigating commit | tee that when Officer Dennehy was sued | for making a raid that he did not re- ceiva the sympathy of the police com- mission%
 T meant that until he was proved in- nocent before the police commissioners he did not appear to have the sympathy of the board" said Captain OKeefe.
 ''Do you think that nine-tenths of the police officers are of the opinion that it were better to let the saloon alone" asked MT. Ely.
 "I thought so when made the state ment to the committee"
 Don't you think that perhaps Com- missioner Gilhuly, having spoken to Jackson, might have had something to do with the impression?"
 "I do," replied the witness.
 "What commissioners did you refer to when you said something about com missioners making laws and then going out and nullifying them?"
 Captain O'Keefe-I did not refer to any particular commissioner and did mot mean any of the present board. I referred to something that happened in previous boards and had the impress sion that the state of affairs had not improved any. had an impression that some of the commissioners were responsible for this state of affairs. do not refer to any special one, but had in mind the names of Commissioners Clancey, Hum, Gilhuly and Doolittle as being not particularly anxious intrefer- ence to the enforcement of the liquor r law. but I never heard of Commission z CTS Hum and Doolittle going out and I attempting to nullify any vote of the hoard Commissioner Gllhuly frequent Iy came into the precinct, but never in- | nuired about any detail of officers and never said anything to me about the 2 Sunday detail or the enforcement of the Sunday liquor law"
 "That's all," said Corporation Counsel Ely. f
 Attorney Goodha-t there took the
