 of aldermen never contained more per
 sons than were crowded into it last < night The attraction was the second
 hearing on the charges perferred by # Mayor Martin against Police Commis- < sioner Jeremiah J. Sullivan. g N The crowd occupied every inch of
 space and every available vantage \ point with little regard for the pro X prieties. Chairs. settees, desks and ta- ls bles served to elevate the curious on
 lockers and Janitor Schappa says the
 damages will amount to a considerable
 sum

 witness named Galligan, and the pos Raitive, unqualified denial of the state N ment by GalIigan E The hearing began al 7:S0 and was k$l concluded at 10:45 Judge Tyner made M a three quarters of an hours address .As and Mayor Martin then said he should %reserve his decision.
