The Mansfield hearing was the talk of the town today. Almost everybody agrees that there is no case against him except those directly concerned, and even some of those admit that the delay in arriving at the end is caused by the prosecutfon's technicalities.
 Mansfield's friends saySit is too bad that he should be put to so much ex- pense without any chance of recover ing it His statement regarding his age was correct. His application for appointment on the supernumerary
 force proves this. It slows that he
 was 9 on November 13, 1900, when he filed his application, and that he was
 appointed on March H. 1902, which
 would make him 9 last October. His
 confusion on this point last night caus-
 ed no surprise among the lawyers. even to his prosecutors, who have been
 already called his prosecutors. Very
 few men can remember their age on the spur of the moment, and they are
 more than liable to forget it when un- der fire of parties who have personal
 motives at stake. Mansfield has not been in public life long enough to keep 1 his temper under such circumstances and the stake involved is not of such moment 10 nm that he WOulu hesitate
 about throwing it up, his friends say.
 But such step, they continue, would give too much gratification to those
 opposed to him in this matter to war
 rant him in taking it
 | After the examination last evening he asked to be excused from duty and
 his request was allowed. He was two hours on the stand and he made a | first class witness until he became | tired and disgusted with the method of l the examination by Judge Peasley, who, as Commissioner Hardie stateds took the matter beyond the limits of the inquiry, which so far has been more technical than criminal case in court The board would not allow Attorney O'Neill to question q witness at the first hearing as to his relations with
 the trolley company, which, on the
 statement of Judge Burpee furnished
 most of this information, yet last
 night the board allowed Judge Peasley
 to examine Mansfield as to his age,
 which was not even alluded to in the
 allegations. '. ''

directly after. MT O'Neill got restless and Judge Peasley complained of him. Continuing, witness said he belongs to no union.
 Commissioner Taylor questioned him as to his knowledge of the police man ual and he said he was not very con yersant with it. This information seemed to tickle Kelsey for he filtered He said he was q, either in May or April, but he was not sure. Then he said he thought 1t was ill October, but he had the correct date ill his pocket. Judge Peasley, who was questioning him now, would not allow him to get the memorandum at first, but finally did. Commissioner Hardie objected to this, claiming it had nothing to do with the charges, but Judge Peasley held it had. The inemorandum showed Mansfield was 24 last october. This disclosure seemed to greatly please the prosecution. Mir Kelsey had dry smoke on it and Mir Hunt had real one, but Mir Sedgwick seemed the most pleased.
 Chairman Lahey then took a hand at Mansfield, after which the hearing was adjourned to tomorrow night, MT O'Neill said he was tired and had thir- ty more witnesses and MT GuilfOile said it was hardly fair to take Mans field off duty every night on account of the cost to him.
 Tn the crowd leaving the hall some one asked where was MT Kelsey's in teregt in the matter and someone else said, ''Where do you live, anyway! Don't you know Kelsey Is after Mans fields job?"

A Louisville Turf Pool Room
Is Out S653.4O.
Handed a Young Man a Roll of
the Green.
AMOUNT DUE WAS $3.50.
But the Youngster Was Not So
Green as He Seemed.
Took the"Bundle" Away and Re.
fuses to Return 1t.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 19.-The Turf
Exchange poolroom is out $653.40 as the
result of a mistake made in paying off,
whereby $500 was handed a better for a
$3.50 ticket The ticket was handed in
by Mr.. Joseph, or "Doggie' Hyman,
son of Mr.. E. Hyrnan of 1877 East Mar
ket street.
Mr.. Hyman has been a frequent visit
or at the poolroom, and on the day in
question he picked winner. He hand
ed his money to the blockman, who
called out, "six-sixty." The sheet writer
thought he meant $500, as six dollars
and sixty cents is an unusual amount.
Accordingly Mr.. Lyman received a
roll Of green money that resembled the
vegetable Mrs. Wigs made famous.
When the poolroom managers discov-
cred the mistake there was consterna-
ton. The name of the better was as
certained and demand was made on Mr..
Hyman for the money. Mr.. Hyman
refused to pay. His father stated to-
day:
MY son did not know what his ticket
called for. When they handed him $3.50
he took 1t. They asked for it back, but
he politely told them that he had lest
more than that, anyway"
Mr.. Hyman says if the poolroom
wants the money it will have to sue.
All the pikers in town are now kicking
themselves because they are not in Hy-
mans shoes.
