The hearing in the case of Constable
Joseph Woelkers, charging him with
blasphemy, was resumed yesterday
| morning. Agents Wilson, Keene and
Dodge, of the Municipal league. testi-
fled that on June 90 last they went
to the South Side for the purpose of
serving a warrant upon John Woelk-
ers, the defendants brother, for SELL
ing liquor without Il license. AS they
were walking along Prospect avenue.
near the corner of Brook street, they
were approached by the peace-conserv-
ing defendant, who not only endeav-
ored to run them down with his horse
and carriage, but hurled profane and
blasphemous epithets at them, the lat
ter being the basis of the present
charge.
1t appeared that the defendant was
there for the particular purpose of noti-
flying the keepers of speakeasies in his
bailiwick of the presence of Wilson and
the other detectives and that ne drove
furiously through the streets calling
out and ringing a gong attached to his
wagon, in order to attract attention.
On Saturday last Woelkers was put
under $500 bail by the court in a sure
and his brother was convicted of the
charge for which he was arrested on
the day of the trouble. The jury, after
hard struggle, agreed upon d verdict
of not guilty, the defendant to pay the
costs.

mony the court decided that a convic-
ton could not be sustained and direct
ed a verdict of not guilty
Martin Burke was then placed on
trial, charged with the larceny of a
dog from the prosecutor. Overfield
Coleman of Green Ridge. The dog was
hunter valued at $50. 1t was missed
by the prosecutor in December 1898,
and in October last he found it in the
possession. of the defendant who re-
fused to give it up. At the hearing
before the alderman the prosecutor
said that the defendant admitted that
he was satisfied that the former owned
the dog, but that he had come by it
honestly. After hearing the evidence
the court directed a verdict of not
guilty, it appearing that the defendant
neither stole nor knew that the dog
had been stolen.
Another case against Constable Jo-
seph Woelkers was tried before Judge
Archibald. This case grew out of the
Investigations made by the Lexow
grand jury last spring and charges
the defendant with misdemeanor in Of

hotel-keeper, stated that in January
last Woellers> came to his place and
told him that unless he paid So he
would be 'pinched'' for running a slot
machine, as the authorities We're after
them. 1t did not appear that any
money had been paid to the defendant
or that he solicited money for him
self, and n verdict of not guilty was
taken.
Anthony Carlucci was sentenced to
$25 and costs and Tomasso Siriano to
$40 and costs. They were convicted

On the return of the rule in this case defendant
made no formal answer and showed no ha,sc
against granting the order other than the arg,l-
ment Of counsel against allowing the relief sought
by the plaintiff. At the argument, the defendant
was offered the opportunity Of further time TO
make such answer as it deemed proper and to
show why the books and papers described in the
plaintiffs petition could not be produced ut the
trial of the case. This opportunity was declined
and the argument proceeded with on the papers
as they were before u.s. Defendant claims that
the petition is defective for want Of certainty
in the description of the papers desired. We
think not.
The books and papers are sufficiently described
most OF them with nnmisakable precision and
the others with reasonable certainty. 1t is
claimed that the provision of the act Of February
81, l7OS, are to q certain extent obsolete because
of the practice prevailing in the courts by which
books and papers in the possession of one or the
other of the parties to a suit may be secured
by the adverse party at the trial. Reference is
made to a subpoena duccs tecum, to the service
OF notice on the opposite party TO produce books
and papers and to the practice, now quite gen
cral, Of taking testimony of persons in other
states by order of court without rcsorting to the
cumbersome method of interrogatores and COM

1t will be seen from the above figures
that the percentage of the net revenue
as compared to the gross receipts, or,
in other words, the profit to the gov

high. there being a great many post
