Out"-Got $50 OF II Back, He Says.
Albert F. Jones, who is on trial before
Justice Foster In Special Sessions on
charge Of larceny, told the jury yesterday
e peculiar story Of his treatment by his
former lawyer, Michael O'Sullivan, and by
Policeman Edward F. Cody Of the West
Twenty-second street station, who arrested
him on July ~.
The policeman. who was witness, said
that Jones tried to pick his pocket on
street car and, In fact, did extract So from
the pocket.
Jones, who said that he was 10 years old
and that his home was at sl4 East Ninety
ninth street. admitted that he had been
confined In an Illinois reformatory for lar
oeny when he was only IL years old that
he had been In jail In Chicago on a charge
Of theft, and that he had been arrested
several times in New York.
Policeman Cody once before arrested
me as suspicious character said Jones,
but the charge was not entertained at the
station house. When he saw me on the
street car at Eighth avenue and Fourth
street on the evening of July 27 he said Hello,
Whitley and arrested me. Then he asked
me how much money had and told him I
didn't have any. l was locked up. In the
Jefferson Market court the next morning,
at the suggestion Of Cody, engaged Michael
O'Sullivan as my lawyer"
OSullivan, 1t may be remarked, was once
apolioeman and later. in the Strong adminis-
tration. was a fire marshal. He studied
law in Edward Lauterbach's office while
he was on the police force. He is now
under indictment on a charge of taking
reward for procuring appointment to
publio.offloe.
.O'Sullivan said to me: 7 want 5000.
told him did not think could get that
much money.
This money has to go two ways he said
to me. I will have to have It, My wife

Attorney Carl Fischer Hansen, who is

Hansen.

came to me and said: I will have it fixed

the case to Jerome and see that you won't
be indicted. No one will appear against
you
That said Jones, was the end of O'Sulli-
vans services for him.
There was dispute about the admission
as evidence of the notes said to have been
written by O'Sullivan, but Judge Foster
admitted them, saying; Here is a case in
which the rules Of evidence should not be
strictly adhered to, because grave charges
have been made, not only against a member
Of the police force, but against member Of
the bar
Lawyer O'Sullivan was asked about the
charges.
1t is true" he said, that got $3.50 and
returned $50. l returned the $50 because
did not think it was worth $50 to appear

was able to go home without medical aid:
She was the only person in the street who
was hurt, but there were several narrow
escapes. The sidewalks were crowded

WET DOWN MOB AT FIRE.
Too Few POlice--Ftremen Couldn't Get
Room at 800 900 Crosby Street Blaze.


Room at 800 900 Crosby Street Blaze.
A fire that occurred during the noon
hour yesterday in the wall paper warehouse
" s. A. Maxwell d Co. at l2l to l27 Crosby
street and running back to 80 to 50 Elm street
did damage estimated at over $l00 000
Although the flames were confined entirely
to the top floor stock. on the floors below
was damaged by dripping water.
An enormous crowd greatly hampered
the work OF the firemen. Police reserves
were called out from seven precincts, but
only handful Of oops showed up. and the
crowd swept them aside like straw before
the wind. In order to get space in which
to work the firemen we're compelled to
train several streams Of water on the mob.
Chief Croker. just back from his vacation
got one Of the sudden duckings. Shorn Of
his beard and mustache and wearing street
clothes, he wasn't recognized by the fire.
men. Not only was he drenched, but one
busy fire laddie pushed him of the
sidewalk. Croker took the treatment good
naturedly and finally managed to establish
his identity by donning his white helmet.
Then there were few fremen who
suffered mild attacks Of heart failure.
The origin of the fire Is considerable of a
mystery. 1t was on the top floor when the
employees in that part OF the building
were out at lunch. No one was injured.
