New York, Sept. Whether
Police Commissioner Waldo gave

as the conditions of outward de-

making a false statement in regard
10 his police duties.
Hayes emphatically denied that he
made false sta'ement when he told
Waldo he had been ordered by him
(Waldo) not to make raids on dis
orderly houses eXcer on the commits
sioner's instructions. Hayes said
that under these instructions he had
made no raids since last February,
but previously had made many.
Waldo was on the stand before
Hayes and he was grilled by the
defendants a torney in an effort to
