OPPOSED COMMISSIONERS.
HEARING ON THEIR .fPPEAL IN PROGRESS ALI DAT TESTER DAT.
Some of the Inside Workings of the Po- lice Department Exposed in Testimony and Corey on the stand in the After noon-Morc Testimony To-day.

The big superior court room, civi day afternoon at the public hearing o1
 the four police commissioners, Messrs
 and the interest in the trial, for trial
 it is, is growing with every hour. Ev-
 scores were standing up about the
 room. It is safe to say that more
 prominent public citizens of New Ha-
 ven have never been assembled in a
 court room in this city than that of
 yesterday afternoon. As one man put
 it: Everybody but Anthony Carroll
 was there" The testimony itself was
 of the most interesting nature, and
 nearly all remained in the court room
 the entire afternoon. The counsel for the commissioners are MT Goodhart, MT. Arvine and Judge w. B. Stoddard. For the city are Judge Robertson Leonard Daggett and Isaac Wolfe
 The afternoon session was opened with the cross examination of Chief Wrinn, continued from the morning session. The direct examination of this witness was rather short, and it seemed hard work for him to recall the things that have taken place in connection with the retirement of the police off, cers. The examination was very in- teresting one, but the cross -examin- ation of the witness by Attorney Good hart was much more so. During the cross s-examination the witness said that he had received complaints from the commissioners and people about the of Captains Brewer and O'Keefe and that the majority of were about the former of these two. He stated in answer to questions by the ross-examiner, MT. Goodhart, that he had understood Cap tain Brewer had been a frequenter of Jake Mann's place, where there had been in progress poker games and that the captain refused to report the con- dition of affairs that existed in the of Fair street and Prin- dle alley, in which streets there were known to be many houses of ill-fame This testimony by the chief of police was rather reluctantly given, and MT. Goodhart had hard time in getting 1t put of him. Captains Brewer and O'Keefe were there occupying seats in the jury row, and their faces were set turing the whole testimony of the wit ness The witness said that few con- plaints were received from the people n Captain O'Keefes territory and hat there were mostly of a nature re- garding the ability of the captain to maintain order and discipline over his nen. After the witness told of what 1e knew of the complaints received about Captain O'Keefe, MT. Goodhart 'aid: Now let us return to Captain Brewer. Chief Wrinn. where is a cap- ain supposed to spend his time?" This vas objected to by Attorney Wolfe, md this question was asked:
