CONNERTY TRIED
Mailly Tells Of the Demand
and Acceptance Of a
Fee BY the Accused.
HIS TESTIMONY cORRoBoRATED
Vain Efforts to Discredit the
Witnesess-E Excise Board
Reserves Decision.
his TESTIMONY CORROBORATED

The trial of Excise Inspector William
f. Connerty on charges preferred by
by Thomas Mailly. former saloon keep
er who practically charged him with ex-
torting So and a number of free drinks
took place before the Excise Board in
the Assembly chamber of the City Hall
last night. The Board listened to tes-
timony and adjourned until the next
meeting without taking any definite ac-
ton.
Connerty was not represented by coun-
sci. Counsellor Joseph NJ. Noonan, who
looked after the legal rights of Mailly
stated to the Board that he had received
a note from Corporation Attorney Rob
ert Carey asking him to conduct the ex-
animation subject to the supervision Of
the law department. Mr.. Noonan said
he did not recognize = "a of the law
department to contfci s. ias-rfere in the
case.
Mailly testified to the facts presented
in his afidavit which set forth that after
he was ordered by the Inspector to take
down the curtains of the booths in his
saloon the Inspector asked him for $5
and that he handed it to the Inspector
two 81 bills and one 81 bill.
There was slight discrepancy be-
tween the testimony of Mailly and one
Keefe. Mailly swore that he and others
were sitting down at table when he
showed the bills to Connerty. Keefe tes-
titled that both men were standing, but
he saw Mailly hand the accused inspec-
tor s5. This happened early in October,
1902.
James Carroll, Mailly's bartender, al
so testified to the transaction.
The testimony elected the fact that
while Mailly had been ordered to take
down the curtains early in October COM
plaint was not made against the place
until eleven days after Mailly got out,
AIai!iy got out on the 18th day of Oc-
toher. The inference was that the cur
tains were allowed to stay up in consid-
Grafton of the $5 which Mailly handed
over to Connerty.
Bartender Mcdonald, who was EN-
ployed by Wilbur, who succeeded Mailly,
testified to a row he had with Conerty
over tile payment of drinks and man
named Haas eorroborated McoDnald's s
testimony by saying he heard the argu-
ment and told the two men to stop
quarreling and he would pay for drinks
all around.
Connerty swore that he never ordered
drinks in his life for which he refused
to pay He admitted on cross-examina-
tion that an interview published in the
Evening journal, in which he is quot
Sed as saying he frequently ordered drinks
in the saloon for which the men behind
the bar refused to take pasment.
Counsellor Noonan pronounced this as
grating.
