much trouble getting from the cellar
as from the chiefs apartments.
Horse in it. Now.
Since charges were filed horse has
been put in the pen used for a dog.
AS to favoritism in department, said
Workman, who was promoted to his
place. was an old man. Bywater and
Mccarthy had been promoted. They
were new men in the service. Reilly
had worked with him at No. merely
as a friendly act.
Byron Crosby, fireman, testified he
had seen Bywater, Jim Paul and
Frank Burt doing work in DeVine's
rooms. Defendant conceded the men
do work at washing windows, putting
down carpets, etc. AS to favoritism.
Workman, Bywater. Earl and Nc
Carthy were allowed to see Gleason
and other men were not. These men
are generally favored. Mccarthy was
away three days once and no substl-
tute was put on.
Judge Powers-Have you received
any part of the Sears money?
Admissions From the Defense.
Mr.. Zane-We admit the men have
not received any part of the money.
By the rules the money must be
turned over to the board.
There was a short passage at arms
between Judge Powers and Judge
Hoge. The latter made suggestion
to correct the former and was asked
sarcastically if he did not think the
prosecution should have some advice
from the city as well as the defense-
Witness said the hose wagon is IN
a very dangerous condition, as II
sloughs around considerably when 60
ing at a high rate of speed.
Witness swore to the previous testi-
mony as to the Waltner fire and sald
too m<sh water was used at the HlCii
fire There was not much fire at Walt
ners and it could have been put out
with the chemical.
Cross-examined: Bywater served
under Ottinger but was not MEMBER
of the department when the law went
into effect He was also severely eX-
amined on the Waltner fire, being
asked if the fire and smoke did not
Justify the amount of water used and
being compelled to modify his state
ment that the chemical would have
put it out.
Had Seen Him SIuolSe.
A. r. Fraser had seen chief smoke
on apparatus floor. Hose wagon No
is dangerous. 1t will not stand

three men. Too much hose was used
at the Waltner fire. The steamers
were laid up during the winter and
there are as many fires in winter as In
summer. To protect property 500 feet
of hose was not enough at No. 2. The
hay is very bad. About a four tn of it
is rotten. He testified as to the Rates
accident, when the wagon tongue was
broken.
Mr.. Zane objected to this but Judge
Powers said the object was to show
favoritism in that Bates had broken
tongue going out the door causing
S. damages and had been dismissed,
while Earl, one of Devine's favorites,
had made a gross error, doing $50 dam
age, and no charges were preferred.
Sometimes Left His Pipe.
A R. Fraser had seen the chief
smoking on the apparatus floor.
Cross-examined by Devine: Some
times, but not often, seen chief leave
his pipe in office when called out. Had
not known the chief to make any
Admitted it might be best to leave
hose at No. 1. Admitted chief had said
hose wagon No. l was unsafe. The
aeriel truck could be taken out by two
men to a fire. He was not shaken on
his hay and straw testimony.
Samuel Spry was called and ex-
amined by Mr.. Lippman.
DO You sing with the Republican
Glee club?"
Yes, SIR
Did you ever obtain permission
from Mr.. Devine to sing?"
Mr.. Zane objected, objection was
overruled and witness answered no"
The witness gave nothing new, gem
orally saying he knew nothing about
the different matters in question. He
took hose into the front door at the
Lipman-Wallerstein fire.
On cross-examination witness stated
he had not signed the charges, though
asked to do so. He detailed the cir
cumstances. He said Reilly and Sui
livan came down together and Reilly
did something in the case.
Spry Tripped Up.
On redirect examination he denied he
had said he was in sympathy with the
case, though admitting he had said
he would give testimony. He was
tripped up by Judge Powers on the
statement that Reilly had done some
thing in the case, and admitted that
he knew nothing about it.
T. F. Chapman, one of the four men
recently discharged, testified there
were other men, put on later than
himself who were kept on. He testified
as to the too much hose at the Waltner
fire. Had gone on second call TO the
Lippman fire and had seen hose burst
and reel twisted because water was
turned on before the hose was de-
tatched. Did not know who was to
blame Only 1.50O feet of hose was not
sufficient for No. 2. More was laid at
four fires in that district.
-examination-Some outside
person turned on the water which
broke the hose at the Lippman fire.
A recess was taken until $50.
Evening Session.
At the opening of the evening ses-
sion, Judge Powers stated that as
Chairman Jennings had already been
sworn, he would ask him a question.
Mr. Jennings assumed the pose of a
witness, and Judge Powers asked:
did you go to The Salt Lake Her
aid last night and object to the report
of this proceeding"
Mr. Zane|I object.
Judge Powers-Well, I want to show
that the chairman of this court is
biased and prejudiced.
MIR. Zane continued to object, but
