ing on Pekin in 1860, after the capture
of the Taku forts, one Of the rivers

He did not hear the complaint read out
10 the men on September 5.
Officer Sheehey testified that he first
heard the report read out on Septem-
ber 3, and that it was given to him by
Captain Kane. He made an investiga-
ton and learned the mans name was
Winder. He returned the complaint to
Sergeant Black on Monday.
Captain Chambers stated that he had
read the complaint to the fourth sec
tion men on Saturday night, September
2, and had instructed the men to search
for the missing harness. The COM
plant was left on the board as usual.
He had handed the complaint to OFFICER
Burchinal on Tuesday for his signature
If Winder's name was upon it at the
time he did not see il. He knew moth
ing Of Winder's connection with the
case until September 8, when he was
informed by Mr.. Pyle. He denied tell
ing Mr.. Pyle on September g. when
they had a conversation on the sub
ject, that that was the first he knew
of the case. He had told Mr. Pyle at
the time that it was the first he knew
of Winder's connection with the case,
as he had not seen his name before.
The report Of Officer Burchinal, which
was handed to him by Sergeant Welsh,
was turned over to Chief Dolan. Sew
eral questions were put to Captain
Chambers by Mr.. Pyle.
The colored man johnson, who car
| ried the harness in his cart for Winder,
testified to the fact, and stated that he
had not been interviewed by any of
the officers on the subject until Mr..
Pyle called at his house. This was a
point that Mr.. Pyle laid especial stress
upon, he claiming that the officers
knew that Johnson had hauled the
stolen harness. and yet was not ques-
toned as to what he knew Of the man
for whom he hauled it.
Sergeant Welsh, however, stated that
he had called at Johnson's house sew
eral times. but was unable to find
him.
John Woodland stated that he bought
the harness from Winder whom he
knew, and who told him he had bought
it at Stidham's auction rooms.
Officer Flynn stated that he went on
duty after mis- vacation on September
4, and knew nothing of the theft until
September 8. Winder lived in his dis
trict and he knew him.
Sergeants Lucas and Evans testified
to hearing the complaint read.
No action was taken by the commits
soin after hearing the evidence, and the
matter will be gone over by the com
mission on Monday night.
