keeper Of l42 Elm street. for the last three
years at q salary Of $3.50 day. According

shoemaker known as Louis who lived at
200 Mott street. acting as his witness. He
voted as James Ross at every election
since 1891.
Three years ago. he says, he was out OF
work and applied for place at the club

According. to the information received
by Supt. Morgan, Frabesillio had been
discharged from the Department Of High
ways. He applied for reinstatement. and
after long delay, he was notified that he
could have his old place again. In the
meantime he had gone into the saloon
business, and It turned out more profitable
than working for the city. For this reason
he decided not to accept reinstatement,
but to pass the job along to Canine as
q favor to his good friend, Little Tim
naturalization papers to get the place. .
Frabesillio denies this. In an affidavit
which he made yesterday he says he got
a job as a driver In the Street Cleaning

four, years. when he resigned and went to
work for a contractor on Staten Island.
In August 1905 he eays he got a plaCe In
the Department Of Highways, and was
discharged a few months later. He then
applied for reinstatement In the Street

clares, he has not held a place under any
Of the municipal departments.
