never at late hours.
He told Mayor Hubbard that he was
ar Donaca's house on the afternoon of

took down the report in shorthand. On
the night Of the 18th he saw Greene go
into Norton's and afterwards followed
him and Officer Douglas little after
l. o'clock down Eighth street to N, and
then went down to Donaca's to get
ahead and wait for him. He saw him
distinctly when he went into the house
and shortly after the light went out. 1t
is very light there, as the cement walk
reflects the light. In his testimony he
had endeavored to tell the exact truth.

Eighth street to N, where they separ-
ated and Douglas left Greene, who went
on down Eighth street. While they were
together they met a man and Greene
spoke to him.

visit the officers on their beats.

conversation between him and Greene
on the afternoon the charges were
filed, Greene said to him that he would
not deny that he had been at Donaca's
house. He said nothing about being
