They spent a part OF one day in the de-
tective bureau. when. by specific order
OF Commissioner Waldo. they were di-
rected to get out and keep out. and do
their work IN Room 2l9, which Is the
designation OF what the aldermen called
the sweatbox," otherwise the smallest
room at Police Headquarters, In which
the Commissioner has insisted that all
the aldermanic Investigators do their
work
Deming and the two assistants were
told they could obtain any record or
paper they wanted from the detective bu-
reau If they would mako formal requi-
sltion and the requisition was approved

men do not know what to send for, nor
even whether the files brought 20 them
by this method are intact

Probably the most ludicrous instance OF
police red tape that came 20 the notice
OF tho visiting aldermen was in the
printing bureau OF headquarters. !. II.
Braddock. an employe OF the aldermanic
committee. had been assigned by Mr..
Buckner 10 report on the efficiency OF
that bureau. and he had planned few

few casual inquiries OF the men at work

Commissioner Waldo had issued strict or

Braddock found that the all-seeing ego
or tho Commissioner was on him even in

day another order came down 20 the ef-
feet that he could not stay in the printing
bureau more than fifteen minutes at a
time HIS observations and reports were
necessarily delayed by tho latest Waldo
order, but no was quietly pursuing his

Q.-When did you next meet Skelly?
"A few days later. in 10th street. as
was going to market. He said, How
are you getting along2' ! said. All
right Then he passed on.
After her arrest. two weeks later. the
day after she had paid Wolf s25. then due.
she said, she met Sicily again. This was
while she was being balled out in the
West 6Sth street station. where she paid
Wolf $25 for going on her bond. The d.
rect examination continued in part as
follows:
Q-What did Sicily say? Ale said:
you're all right Then We 80 on an
Amsterdam avenue car. on the way up
town Skelly said: Your bond will cost
you 800" ! said: 1T won't ltl cost
Q.-What did Sicily say? A.-Nothins
Q.-And Wolf? A.-Nothing. But Sicily
said to Wolf as he left the car: IN see
you tonight at the store"
Q.-What did Skelly say he would do in
return for the money? A.-Protect NE as
far as possible, and If any letters came
to the station complaining he would see
them and tell me.
She said that Mas, who arranged for
her meetings with Skelly, and Wolf had
both told her that she would be pro-
tected.
Cross-examination failed to shake Mrs.
Goodies story. She told OF coming 10 this
city in 1888, when eighteen years Of age,
and finding employment as stenogra-
pher, which work she followed until she
took a furnished room house on LenoX
avenue when she adopted the first OF

Up at the West 47th street station. the
station TO which Rosenthal's body was
taken after the murder and the station
where District Attorney Whitman found
that the only man who had given the
correct number OF tho murder car had
been thrown into jail. tho cops were even
moro carefully on guard against the
Aldermen than they were at headquar-
tiers.
The famous blotter in which the police
inscribed everything but the proper num-
Der Of tho murder car was sacredly closed
from the prying gaze OF aldermanic eyes.
IL was just about 5 o'clock when the
aldermanic committee came into the sta
ton, and they found Captain Meyers and
Lieutenant Falconer In charge. They
hadn't been there many minutes when
Captain Walsh appeared, and It was ex-
planned that Captain Meyers was sort
OF an extra" captain assigned TO the sta
ton, apparently to be ION the job" as
long as the investigators for the alder
manic committee Wer there.
These two Investigators. Paul c. Wilson
and George Sands, have been observing
the workings Of what was considered O.
typical police station house since Tues
day. 1t took a letter from Buckner TO
Waldo and a specific letter of authorize
ton from Waldo to gain them the privi-
lege OF such observation, but though
Buckner requested that they DO allowed
TO make such an investigation "a would
qualify them 10 make a comprehensive
I. sffpfarnaI pn4fhiDaFy' NJ fba
station, they were not allowed anywhere
except In the muster room. That is the
room into which the door opening from
the street leads. and is the room Of a
police station into which any citizen steps
whenever he enters a station.
Wilson and Sands have been working
nine hours q day since Tuesday, but have
not been allowed TO sit down. Chairman
Curran Of the aldermen, when he found
their situation in that respect yesterday
asked Captain Walsh II they would be
allowed TO sit down If the Board OF Alder
men provided the chairs, but Captain
Walsh said It would be against orders.
The captain also politely but firmly re-
fused to allow even the aldermanio COM
mittee members to 20 behind the desk or
anywhere outside of the public room of
the station until Mr.. Buckner directed
him TO telephone Headquarters for per-
mission to allow the aldermen TO inspect
the station house. 1t was 500 p. IN. before
that permission came over the wire from
Headquarters. and then Buckner wanted
to examine the blotter and records. He
might as we'll have asked for the moon.
The police authorities didn't care whether
the committee Of aldermen represented
the whole City OF New York when IT came
to an examination Of that blotter, and
the aldermen did not see it.

advice Of Inspector Russell T.
Mr.. Grants objection drowned the rest
of the sentence. Deputy Walsh sustained
him, and thus further mention Of the
former inspector was debarred.
