Mabon called Chief Smith to his office, and told
him TO have a drill at o'clock.
Don't say anything to the men,, cautioned DR.
Mabon, ''and will sec how many will respond"
Now, it not that Chief Smith had lost any
faith in his men, but he argued that if he were
to tell the quietly they would all be on hand
ana mis- Bellevue Volunteer Firemen's Association

Promptly Chief Smith stood out the lawn
and blew his whistle. In three minutes every
OF tie twenty men. each with a piece of ap-
psratus of kind in hand was ready for ac-
ton. Superintendent Mabon viewed the drill with
much satisfaction and congratulated the chief
heartily.
For the next two days Chief Smith "hutton-

a score of men swoop down the lawn.
After waiting three minutes two men came

of the whistle disturbed the quiet of Bellevue's
courtyard. Five this time
The ten men stood staring at each other with

at Bellevue Investigation.

The investigation of the charges of abuses ana
cruelty to James OGara at Bellevue Hospital was
resumed yesterday in the library of the District At

the District Attorney. The testimony in written
form will be submitted to The magistrate. Assist

said that on Saturday, about week after the al
legged abuses he thought O'Gara had been sunef-
ing from acute alcoholism. OGara was suffering
with chronic bronchitis, and his general appearance
was as if he had just recovered from debauch'
Various bruises were found on his body. which had
the appearance of being about week old The
mans skin was exceedingly tender. the doctor said
and it might have been possible TO get the bruises
by a fall of almost any description. The bruises
could easily have beeh made by man catching
hold of O'Gara about the waist.
Dr. Ahbe at the examination thought . Cara had
been suffering with deluson hallucnation. He
thought that OGara had probably heard some pa
tIent in the next bed talk in an incoherent way
OF the supposedly dreadful things that were done
10 the patients and O'Gara believed that he had
been treated the way.
Sarah O'Gara. the daughter of OGara. testified
that she went TO the hospital a week ago last sun
day. where she found her father suffering from
bruises he did not have two days before. He said
he did not know how he got the bruises.
