On Thursday night he made up his mind to kill
himself and before he lay down his cot he

The case Of Policeman McMorrow, recently tried
charge of paying 5000 to secure his appoint
ment reopened yesterday to give to Commits
soner Parker the opportunity of denying that he
had asked to have part of McMorrows confess
sion torn out of the record Such denial. Mr..
Parker thought. was necessary. in view Of the tes-
timOny OF Commissioner Roosevelt at McMorrow' 5
trial Mr. Parker asked permission to cross-ex-
anime Mr. Roosevelt. and the President said he
would answer questions. But" he said II Will
decline for the future to be drawn into any further
wrangng between members of the Board and Will
devote myself entirely to my police duties
In the cross-examnation Mr.. Roosevelt persisted
in the statement that Mr. Parker had expressed a
desire to have a part of the McMorrow confession
kept out Of the record Mr.. Parker testified that
he had not asked to have any part of the state
ment kept out, but had said II was unnecessary:
Commissioner Grant testified that he had listened
TO the conversation between Mr.. Roosevelt and
Mr.. Parker In regard to the statement of McMor-
row chat he thought the money was to be paid to
Mr.. Parker's secretary. and he had suggested that
that portion of the confession be eliminated
When the McMorrow closed again Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr. Parker smiled and appeared TO
be friendly terms.
