stock of some of the guests.
The deposition of James w. Flynn of
New York was next read. Mr.. Flynn is
at present front clerk at the Broadway
Central Hotel, but formerly was connect
ed with the Van Ness House in several
ways. as dining room boy bell boy, clerk,
etc. His statements were virtually par
abel to those OF Mr.. Lamb.
SERVED BY THE HEAD WAITER.
Two dispositions of A. j. Boynton of
Rutland we're next read. Mr.. Boyhton
was clerk at the Van Ness during 1888
and 1884. He dcpoSed that liquors had

The last deposition taken up was that
of t. G. Aubrey OF New York and was Il
vouminous document of AIRY persinage."
Mr. Aubrey Is now manager Of tho eleva-
tors at the Hotel Waldorf, and as he says,
he holds very responsible position, hav-
ing 1G boys under him. Before that he
was employed at the Hoffman House bar.
His first experience was at the Van Ness
House under w. +. Bowman's manage
mcnt about 1881. He told the same bell
boy story of obtaining liquors in tho
hotel and having them served In the rooms
or on the table. He, as belle boy, OBJ
tanned most of the liquor he was sent for,
at the American House bar. for he said
Mr.. Drew had told him to buy his stun
there as It would be to his (Aubreys) adj
vantage. He also said that he purchased
great deal at the drug stores around
town. as he could get 1t cheaper, and
accordingly make a little something on 1t.
which idea Mr. Drew didn't like. When
the guests in a room of an evening got
too hilarious, Mr.. Clark would instruct
him not TO sell them any more. Liquor
was also served to guests at the table
and was either paid for there or charged
on the books He did thriving business
in empty bottles, asking the guests 10
leave them where he could get them. Be
side this he kept a little private stock OF
his own in some hiding places from
which he derived little profit. He laid
IN an extra large supply during state
fairs He added that very often he asked
Mr.. Clark for money to buy liquor for
guests in the presence Of Gov. Woodbury.
who merely asked whom It was for. He
said that robody ever forbade him to
get liquor for guests although Mr.. Clark
had told him to be careful.
This finished the direct examination of
Mr. Aubrey and a recess was taken until
/ Wednesday morning at 3 o'clock.

To our representative the Senator said:
IN the fall Of 1892 came out of the

Of BIRDS, etc. The New Orleans Mardi
Gras. in which the characters in the
plot appear zen masque" The old
time Mississippi steamboat and its ira
d.uOnal gambling scene, a famous gam
bling palace in the Crescent City, when
gambling was an institution there, and
a lovely view Of Lookout Mountain, in
Tennessee, a masterpiece. The plot and
acton are based on the villainy of a
charming Southern woman, who fas-
cin3t5s a rich Northerner and causes
him to lose his fortune, and then drives
MIN 10 an attempt at suicide but is
saved on The brink of self-desruct.on
