| YoUNG's STORY ABOUT M'aovERN.
Did he have any conversation with
| you in regard to the remonstrance against
| the granting OF license to Dorsey Broth
ers?
The witt answered In the affirmative
and then went on to give the converse
| tion. After the remembrance had been
put in McGovern had come TO the witness
| for transfer of license and that a mou-
STRANGE had bee presented against it.
The witness said he was aware of the fact
as he had already signed the remon-
| STRANGE. McGovern expressed himself as
well pleased with this and said he would
rather die than zee the Dorseys get Ii
cense for that corner on account of what
John Dorsey had done to his father. The
man that Dorsey worked for held the
mortgage on the McGovern porperty and
after the sale under the mortgage dorsey
went to McGovern's father and told him
that he would have TO pay him the rent
thereafter. From that time on McGovern
told the witness, his father never did any
good until he died. McCovern also told
the witness that he had gone to Tobias
Burke and asked him how he came to try
to get license for the Dorseys and that
Burke had replied that McGough and
Grimes had brought them to him and
said they had great influence i'm the ward,
and could get anything they wanted.
Burke further said, so McGovern told the
witness, that as they had applied for
transfer he would let them go ahead es he
had license that was not paying at the
place where it was then.
Where was that? asked Mr.. Mccarthy.
think he said 1t was over on Wash
ington street somewhere.
After the transfer was refused did Nc
Govern say anything to you?
Yes he was the first man to come to
me about it-He -came-and- said he was
glad of it.
Did McGovern say anything about any
body offer ng to give him employment IL
license was granted?
NcGovern told me lie went to Tobias
Burke and that Burke told him he had a
license in a store that was not paying.
Burke said II McGovern would hunt up
place he would have the license trans
raA 70, NIL t...Nlr t.arl
to Q store at t e corner Of Ship and Eddy
streets, where they saw an old French
man. When the Frenchman found out
that they wanted the place for liquor
saloon he wouldn't let them have it on
any terms. Then McGovtrn took Burke
down to the corner OF Borden and Eddy
streets.
Here Mr.. Burbank interrupted to say
that he didn't see the relevancy Of this
kind Of testimony and asked Mr.. Nc
Carthy to keep the witness down to the
subject before the committee.
What did McGovern say with reference
to the license at this place al Plain and
Bishop streets?
While the transfer was pending, after
Burke had applied, Mciovern said he ex-
pected TO get position either as bar
keeper or manager. He also told me that
Burke would give back the property at
any time his mother saw ner way clear to
Again Mr.. Burbank asked Mr.. Mccarthy
to contine the witness 10 the matter be-
fore the committee. The testimony he
was giving was about new matters en-
tirely.
Mr.. Mccarthy answere that ii was de-
signed to show the interest the witness,
McGoverp, had in the granting OF the
transfer to Burke, hut he cautioned the
witness TO contine his statements TO what
McGovern had 20 say about the license In
the place on Burke's estate.
The witness then went on to say that
at the time the remonstrancs against the
transfer TO Burke was presented Mccoy
ern went TO witness house and told him
about IL. The witness answered trat he
kneA all about It., as he had signed he
Iemonstrance himself. The next night
McGovern again called on the witness
6nu told him every name there was on
the remonstrance. The witness asked Me-
Govern how h had obtained the names of
the remonstrents and that McGovern
saw Burke had told him who they were.
When the witness a.ked how furkc found
