That the cry that the Democrats Of this

organ prior to the last election, was utter
ly groundless and intended only for
political effect was made evident by the
testimony of Chief of Police Murphy be-
fore the Grand Jury yesterday afternoon.
A large number of witnesses had been
subpoenaed to testify in relation to the
charges of fraudulent registration pre-
ferred against eight Democratic workers
from different sections of the city, but
after Chief Murphy's statement had been
obtained all were excused without being
called. =.
The head of the police department. it
Is said. told of what he had done before
election to prevent Illegal voting and said
that his officers had discovered on the
registry lists the names of many persons
not entitled to vote. These names. the
chief is reported as saying he thought
had not been placed there with any crtnl-
inai intent but by party workers anxious
to get their full vote out. who took the
statement OF outsiders as to certain per-
sons living ct certain places and being
