Murnane Tells Some More.
Detective Murnane was recalled. He
said:
II was never told net to make ar
rests in Griffins place. In fact I made
three arrests there. At the time oe the
Furey arrest 1 came into Grifin's
place. Carey had F'urey. Furey
offered me the whole seven hundred.
and I said, mot If 1t was seven thous-
and" I met Furey once on the street
and he offered me $3.50 and on another
occasion he wanted to give me SIS. I
refused it and told him that I was not
cheap CRATER. I don't want any
stolen money" he concluded.
Detective Wells told how he had once
been ordered to take Furey and some
pals Of his, who had been arrested, out
and put them on a Minneapolis car. He
did so. He took them from the central
station
Lieut.. POthen's story.
Lieut.. Henry Pothen was called as
the star witness for the defense Of the
police department. His story was a
practical denial of everything that
Gruber had alleged. He said:
when I arrested Furey I took hold
Of him by the collar and jerked him
out Of the toilet room with such force
that if he had had any money in his
hands it would have been split all over
the place. His hat fell off" He did
not make any such remark as had besn
credited to him about Clark being out
side. The witness had counted the
money first in the detectives room. He
never knew Gruber to change a $40
gold piece at any time. Gruber had
met him on the street and said that
if he. Gruber, did not get $50 he
would mix the witness up in the bust
ness.
Told Gruber to Go Ahead.
II told him to go ahead and mix me
up in it if he wanted to. 1 never gave
him $50 nor 2 cents. I never told him
to pay $3.50 to Darragh. I never said
we must get the sucker out of town.
did Gruber hold a pistol on you and
tell you to give UP the money!"
ITS ridiculous; he never did"
In response to questions OF Mr..
Hearn. he said:
Il never spoke to DaIragn about the
matter, and never spoke to Howard,
nor did I hunt for day for Howard.
DO you have any interest in Griffins
placer"
mo, QOn I.
did you have an interest?"
mo, l didn't"
Didn't you, at one time, when Crit
fin was drunk, take a diamond pin from
his shirt with the remark that he was
running the business and that you
would take the pin to save your in
terest?"
mo"
He afterwards acknowledged that he
did take a diamond away from Griffin
when the latter was drunk, but gave
it back to him later.
Schyveitzer's General Denial.
Chief Schweitzer entered a general
denial to the statements made by Cru
Der. He said:
81 never gave any orders not to ar
rest any one in Grifin's place. There
was al order cut to bring F'urey in at
any time, or to make him report at
central when he was in town. One day
I met Furey and Johnson in Griffin
place, and got so mad at them that I
knocked them both down and threat
cned to murder the pair of them If they
didn't get out Of town and stay away.
"Gruber called at my house and told
me about this money, and 1 told him
that he must be crazy to act as he
did He wanted some advice as to
how to get out OF the trouble he was
in
The witness was asked.
did you have any interest in Grif
fms saloon?"
'sNo."
Didn't you buy the furniture that
went into the saloon?"
