you knew nothing about IT. A.-No such
thing was said.
Mr. Grant then took a new tack. ana
cndcavored 70 make capital out Of the
fact that Mrs Goodc was visited Toy En-
DRY r. Buckncr counsel 10 the 'urran
committee. aud former Inspector Russell
two DAYS before she told her story IN
public before the Currau committee
She said she did not know that Mr..
Russell and Mr. Buckher were going 10
visit her and said she never met Mr..
Buckner until that night
You've known Inspector Russell for
quite a long time continued Mr.. Grant
Mrs. Goode resented the tone In which
the question was asked. and said she met
Inspector Russell only OF the occasion
when "Gyp' the Blood. Lefty" Louie
and other Fast Side gangsters robbed her
place. And here she took occasion TO eN-
plain that the advice given her on that
occasion which Mr.. Grant prevented her
from telling OIL Friday. was TO move
away from the neighborhood. which she
did
MI Grant asked her IL she was prom
ised immunity on the disorderly house
charge ii she testified before the Curran
committee. This she Indignantly denied.
Weren't you surprised when the case
against you was dismissed last Tues
day. persisted Mr.. Grant.
Not at all" she answered. The case
was frame-up.'
At this point Deputy Commissioner
Walsh again tried to get her TO tell her
real name. hut she again declined. saving
that as she had not used it for almost if-
teen years it was not material to the
present issue.
IN answer 10 other questions Of the
Deputy Commissioner she said her con
versation with sol" Wolf. when she said
he went TO her hoUse TO collect S25 on be
half Of Skelly. had been overheard by the
servant. Sarah Myer. Of whose where
abouts she was ignorant.
Mas followed Mrs Goode 70 the stand
He was no sooner sworn than his coun-
sci NJ. Meyer. stated he had advised his
client that he could refuse to answer any
question tending 10 reveal his converse
tions with Mrs. Goode. on the ground that
IL might tend to degrade and incrimnate
him
These were the questions he declined 10
answer pleading his privilege:
DO YOU know Mrs Goodc?
on July lat did you advise Mrs Goode
10 leave the city?
Did you. on october II. meet Mrs. Goode
in front Of Sol WolfS saloon?
Did you have conversation with her
Did YOU tell Mrs Goode TO pay skelly
Did you tell Mrs. Goode that Wolf
would be her collector?
But a different man was Mas when
Mr.. Grant took him In hand. He deaied
knowing Skelly or introducing him 10
any one. hut he pleaded his privilege
when asked If he was on Columbus ave-
nue.. in front OF Sol Volts saloon. But
In the next breath he swore he hadn't
seen Sol Wolf, his cousin, since June last.
when his father died, until last Sunday
night
Sol Wolf followed his cousin as wit
ness. He admitted knowing Sicily for
three years. denied all OF Mrs. Goo les
story which would reflect on Nun or
SkeIlv. but admitted all that did
not reflect on him or his police
man friend Mrs. Goode he know
very well. ne admitted, and made no at
tempt to deny, that he visited her 1T her
apartment the Sunday before the raid.
when Mrs. Goode alleged he collected SIS
protection money. He explained his pres
ence there by saying that he wanted to
sell her beer. The only money he idmit-
ted receiving from her was SIS for going
on her bond the following night.

asked Deputy Commissioner Walsh.

AS well have said that she gave that $2o
IN Mayor Gaynor as to me.
D.putv Walsh reprimanded Wolf for
dragging in the Mayors name, and asked
him II he realized that II he made any
false statement before him he could he
nupished with severity equal to perjury !
IN the supreme Court Wolf admitted he
knew that.
But Wolf did not change his story one
iota.

noIicemen accused % graft will occupy |
tho interim. The Deputy Commissioner |
evnIained that he put over the case OF
