up in his testimony, but seemed
very nervous while on the stand
and evaded explicit answers to
questions as much as possible.
I.t Regarding the shutting of Press
reporters out of the police station
Sullivan said that he had issued
sthis order, on the advice of Corpo-
4Yation Counsel Morrill, that the po-
lice records were private records.
He admitted that he had discrim-
mated against The Press in this
matter. declaring that he did so be-
cause The Press was lying, SLAM

"never told the truth"
Sullivan caused a smile to over
spread the faces of many specta-
tors at the hearing by declaring,
: in answer to the charge that he had
allowed certain favored women to
operate sporting houses in the city,
sthat there was not sporting house
sdn the city at the present time.
Noting the quick ripple of sup
pressed laughter which swept over
the room, he amended his state
ment by adding that at least there
were none of which had knowledge
The Ex-Acting Chief declared
most emphatically that he had
never shown any favoritism to
either any person or officer of the
department, and that instead of the
police force being disrupted and
inefficient owing to his mal-admin
istration, the department was really
at the present time in a more eff
ficient and harmonious condition
than at any time in the last %
years.
The hearing of evidence for the
defense closed at noon today and
an adjournment was taken until
1870 p. m, when summing up OF
the case will probably begin.

The declaration of ex-Acting
Chief of Police John Sullivan that
Spokane is freer of the criminal ele-
ment today than ever before in It's
history is hardly borne out by the
fact that four robberies were COM
mitted in various parts of the city
last night, each of which gives EVIL
dence of being the work of profess
sional burglars.
The robbery in which the heav-
lest loss is reported was that of H.
9. Podmore's barber shop at no
Bernard street, where burglars last
night made way with five pairs of
shears, two razor strops, three
combs, several homes and Is razors.

storm that had arisen behind the

that he had told Rogers to submit
