Brennon, as the representative OF the
mayor" he was asked
"Brennon was 10 receive no orders
or give no reports. except 70 Burns,
was the reply.
Never Saw Mayors Guess List"
Asked about the mayors famous
guess list of aldermen who could
be corrupted, the witness said he han
never seen such a list, or had never
heard the mayor read such a list 10
Brennon.
In conference, remember Brcn-
non had a manual In his hand. and no
read several names OF aldermen" said
the witness. Everybody made diffor-
lent remarks about the aldermen as
Burns often said, that man might
take a bribe.'"
Asked how Burns knew anything
about the aldermen at that time, the
witness said he had been given IN
formation by Brennon. He denied that
I Burns had ever told him that money
was TO be used TO bride the aldermen,
and didn't think Brennon had ever
told him that.
"Then you had no knowledge that
money was 70 be used to bride the
aldermen"
No. | didn't know. OF course I rea-

Witness said he was called to the
Ford building by telephone, after
Glinnan's arrest When he got there
Gilman was In a corner, being ques'
toned by Burns, Assistant Prosecu'
tor Janowsk and others.
! Attorney Mcnamara led up to this
in another vain effort to get the die
1 tograph records IN to court, throHgll
| the medium of Van Dykes testimony
The demand was denied by the Judge
who upheld Prosecutor Wilkins OBJ
| lection
IF the prosecutor had brought on:
this testimony, you would be entitled
to the photograph records, under
cross-examination. but as you your
self brought Ii out, you are not en-
titled to the records the judge ruled.
| Then Attorney Mcnamara tried to
show that Aid. Gilman was brow
beaten by Burns, into making his con-
feseion, by being told that I'VE have
the most modern instruments; We
have your talks recorded; We have
everything here, and you might as
well make a clean breast OF every
thing"
Says Burns Warned Gilman.
Witness said Burns speech to
Gilman was just the opposite, that
he told him his right to keep silent II
he wished, until ne had consulted an
attorney; that what he said would be
used against him: but that II he
wanted TO tell the truth he could
make statement.
! Attorney Mcnamara repeated his
demand for the dictagraph records
on the ground that the witness and
Mr. Green were the only "laymen
present, and Mr.. Green did not hear
Glinnan's statement
"Glinnan's statement can only be
used IL we put II in evidence" said
Attorney Wilkins, calmly, and the
judge upheld him.
Then Mcnamara shifted the scene
to the prosecutors Office, where sew.
eral aldermen were questioned later
| in the presence of Mr.. Van Dyke. He
tried TO have the Judge order the
records OF that inquisition into court
but the judge refused to do 30 under
the same ruling.
| If the defendants take the stand
you can demand those notes. and re
ceive them" the judge ruled.
Attorney Mcnamara said that there
was little prospect Of any OF the de
PENDANTS taking the stand, and court
adjourned for an hour.

Mayor and Green Deny
Sefflng Graft Trap

In an extremely torrid session In
Justice Jeffries' court, Wednesday
afternoon, in which a brawl between
Aid David Rosenthal and Andrew
Toepel, Gratiot-ave. jeweler, was
staged, causing intense excitement
for a few moments, the aldermanic
conspiracy cases resolved into a wild
scramble by Witnesses Andrew H.
Green and Mayor William b. Thomp-
son, to get out from under" all allie
CATION of knowledge OF plot TO
bribe the aldermen.
Mayor Thompson, in a 46-minute
session on the stand under fire of At
torney James McNamara, succeeded
In convincing everybody that he
didn't know a thing about any OF the
details of the plan to trap the alder
men, any statements to the contrary
Notwithstanding. He had some very
bad moments on the stand, suffered
from bad case OF don't remember"
at numerous times, and there were
many moments when spectators were
amused while Mayor Thompson and
his political rival, Justice Jeffries,
glared long and earnestly at each
other.
Andrew II. Green, general manager
OF the Solvay Process Co., did not
weather the storm as successfully as
did the mayor. Mr. Green had a
rather bad afternoon. During much
of his examination by Attorney Nc
Namara, witness and attorney were
shaking menacing forefingers under
each others noses, and shouting
across the intervening space Of one
foot between faces, as though the con-
yersation were being carried on be-
tween a guaranteed liner and the
shore, Once, when Mcnamara made
very tart remark about Mr.. Green's
late political bee" Mr.. Green sprang
To his feet, trembling with agitation,
and shaking his fist right under Nc
Namaras nose yelled, Don't you
dare say that
Green Sheds Real Tears.
A few minutes later, Mr.. Green
cried. shedding real tears, at the men,
ton OF poor old Tom Gilman" whom
he had helped to trap.
A moment later, be called on high
heaven TO witness that his first tears,
shed over Gilman, were not OF the
crocodile variety, as bluntly asserted
by Mcnamara.
From grave to gay, from melo-
drama and drama to comedy, the ses-
zion went, while the spectators
craned their necks and opened
mouths and ears like a small boy at
three-ring circus.
The net result of the session ap
peared to be that Detective Walter J.
Brennon alone caused the downfall OF
the aldermen. He planned the cam.
paign, he suggested the means. Mayor
Thompson simply brought him here
and washed his hands of him. Mr.
Green only doled out to him such
money as Brennon demanded That
was the way Witnesses Thompson
and Green elucidated the matter
when hammered and coaxed and
wheedled and threatened by the pep
perry, insistent Mcnamara.

CONSPIRACY CASES

that the original report was in pos
session of the newspaper manage
ment, who may be summoned to
bring II In.
Mr.. Green was used, Thursday, as
a means to try and pry Brennon's full
report out OF the hands Of whomeyer
has it, and have 1t produced in court.
SO far, the effort has been unsuccess-
full.
Justice Jeffries, still exhibiting
his deep interest In learning all about
the elements of the Wabash deal,
again reverted to the setting" used
by the detective. Mr.. Green told him
that Mr.. Delano, OF the Wabash, knew
that the railway was being used as a
setting" but that Mr.. Gull and
other Wabash officials did not.
Then Attorney Chawke took hand,
questioning Mr.. Green about the Wa
bash petition. Mr.. Green at first de

II was filed. Later he said: III cor

Van Dyk On Stand.
Attorney William Van Dyke, who
said he was the mayors attorney
during and after the first confer
ence" but not before, was placed on
the stand at 1895. He didn't remem-
Der when he met Detective Burns
first. He and Burns first met alone,
he said.
The purpose of bringing Burns was
that Mayor Thompson had for long
time been discussing the rumors of
graft In city departments. and had
determined to get Burns. to investi-
gate, catch the grafters, and remove
the stain Of scandal from the limo
cent. Generally, Burns was to find
out who were grafters and who were
not.
Now. Mayor Thompson said he was
to separate the sheep from the
goats He was not to make goats OF
any persons, was her asked Attor-
ney Mcnamara.
"Mr. Burns distinctly stated that he
would not come into Detroit and in
yestigate any particular persons,
said the witness.
Asked n he had heard names men.

Dyke said that he had. but as he re-
membered II, most OF them had been
of men whom everybody knew to be
straight, such as Commissioner Croul,
Aid. Vernon, Dick" Watson, and
others. Watson is one of the defen-
dants In the graft cases.
Burns, said Van Dyke, met Mr..
Green on his second trip here. aud
made arrangement to sent someone
on TO meet Green In Mr.. Van Dyke
Office. Then came Brennon.

witness "the organization of the City

time"

Now Detective Burns was strong

resumed, and he was excused, Hell
bush being called and qualified as his
successor
Mr.. Long, a venireman, during ques-
tioning by Attorney Olson, confessed
that if the court instructed him on
any point of law and he was inclined
ito disagree with the courts opinion
on the matter, he would accept his
own opinion rather than that of the
court.
/ Attorney Olson Immediately asked
that Mr.. Long be excused. Thinking
the juror did not !, understand the
question Judge Dole exp.ained it at
some length, but Long adhered to
his, original statement. Attorney
Breekons remarked to the court:
II would recommend that this man
be. excused from the October venire,
since he is inclined to pay no heed
to the courts instructions. The
Judge suggested that the, juror, in
following the proceedings OF the
court, might see fit to Change his
ideas later.

retorted Breckons; so am /.
Fred w. J. Ziegler admitted to At
