Looking for Revenge.

The cross-examination turned then 10
the point OF Connollys compensation for
the publication OF the newspaper story
which began the Cohalan inquiry, and
for upward of an hour, after he had
read the contract between Connolly and
the Press Publishing Company into the
record. Mr.. Stanchheld tried TO impugn
the motive.
Connolly made no secret of the fact
that he went to the company with his
story with the idea of getting employ
ment in return for II. and he added, also.
that he was looking for revenge.
Justice Cohaan's lawyer went around
and around that motive like cooper
around a barrel, harping first on the re-
venge and then on the money. or. as
Connolly insisted. the employment feat
ure. bat WITH the open admission OF the
witness that he was seeking employ
ment and revenge Mr. Stanchheld' s
repetitions did not apparently add much
TO the vital record OF the case.
The lawyer mentioned the fact that
the Pulitzer estate had been In the Sur
rogates Court under Surrogate John p.
IL.
after getting the simple admission from
Connolly that ne knew OF that at the
time he went TO the Press Publishing
Company with his story he lett that an
gle of the story quickly.
Mr.. Stanchhsld touched briefly on the
facts connected with the attempts OF the
Star Publishing Company to get the
story and questioned Connolly as TO the
connections between his relations with
the Hearst political campaigns and the
Hearst newspapers, so far as his story
was concerned. 1t was IN this connec-
ton that the story of the refunded 500
campaign contribution came out, and
that was about the only result from that
line of questioning.
Got City Work After 1906.
Going back to actual charges against
his client, Mr.. Stanchfeld brought out
from Connolly that he got city work
after 1905 through his acquaintance with
Hamilton Fish and the lattcrs recon-
mendation 10 william b. Ellison, who
hal succeeded John T. Oakley as Water
Commissioner.
II was Drought out tndt Wnen OOnHOIly
drew checks on cash" for the alleged
percentage payments to Justice Cohalan
he had always drawn an amount running
from s. to SIS In excess of the even
amounts he handed over TO Cohalan. He
explained that he used these small
amounts as commission payments" and
though the inference was that they were
used TO tip" minor bosses Of city de-
partments engaged in inspections on the
work OF the Victor Heating Company
Connolly chose 10 let Mr.. Stanchfeds
insinuation that he had pocketed the fives
and tens stand. rather than go into de-
tails.
Both on the direct and cross examina-
tions Connolly emphasized his former
intimate relations with Justice Cohalan,
and on direct testimony went over the
story OF his trip to Albany when the
Justice was trying for the United States
senatorship which fell to James A.
O'Gorman
on that occasion. he said, Justice Coha-
Ian gave him so for expenses the idea
being that Connolly was doing whatever
he could 10 influence legislators TO vote
for Cohalan for Senator
Mr.. Kellogg took Connolly over the

NOTHING SAID TO WHITMAN
But District Attorney May Get
Connolly Case To- day.

District Attorney Whitman. when seen
at his home last night. disclaimed any
intimation of a move to prosecute John
A. Connolly for perjury, and said that no
information had been lodged in his office.
81 have heard nothing Of such move. "
the District Attorney said, land certainly
no official action concerning my office has
been taken. II is highly probable, how
ever, that such action may be taken to-
morrow and that the charges will be
Placed in my hands as soon as | reach
my desk"

Gets Back at Lawyer.

II developed that Connolly's new claim
was that he Endorsed a note for Sheriff
Bob" Chanler, and Mr.. Stanchheld
thought to joke him about IT,
Il thought he was a millionaire said
the lawyer 10 the witness, in puzzled
tone
We'll. l have met millionaires in my
time that have been broke" Connolly
flashed back, and that ended any grilling
along that line.
Along other lines Connolly eXasperated
Mr. Stanchfeld whenever the going got
the last bit too rough for him by gaining
time through the old method Of repeating
the question before answering it. 1t was
not that there was anything tremen-
dously vital in the questions. but Con
molly seemed TO be determined not to al
low the lawyer to gain any advantage by
rushing him.
Connolly declared with great deal Of
emphasis, in answer to insinuating ques-
lions from Mr. Stanchfeld, that he had
never overcharged the city on the con-
tracts obtained through the Cohalan in
fiuence and asserted that he used the
same reasonable scale of prices in his city
work contracts that he did in his private
work.
In answer 10 a question as TO his poll
tics, the witness replied that he 'pur-
ported to be a Democrat" That aroused
an apparent doubt in Mr.. Stanchheld's
mind and he began quizzing Connolly as
TO just what he meant.
DO you mean that you are Demo-
crat in disguise?" was asked.
"Well, If Democracy means to vote
for you when you ran for Governor, Mr..
stanchheld. was a Democrat Con-
molly answered,
THAT was a pretty good test" the
lawyer admitted, and again the prompt
return Of his "joshing" ended the at
tempt to badger the witness, even good
naturally.

strives would not be compatible WIN
discipline and would be absolutely I'M
attainable-for you cannot make men
chums by order-and that on the con-
trary, it would make for STIFFNESS ana
formality which would be irksome alike
TO officers and men.
The suggestion was somewhat naive-
" made that IL Secretary Daniels was
really in earnest in his desire to pro-
note the contentment of the enlisted
men he should repeal the order when
took from them the privilege OF pur-
chasing and consuming while on board
ship a single bottle Of beer man

stricken at the idea, and as it dawned
upon him what his friend and mentor,
Mr.. Bryan, would say to such a propo-
sition he became faint.

not recollect writing the "55 per cent let
ter" This is the letter the existence Of
which Justice Cohalan denies, and the
copy OF which Connolly has sworn he
tore out of his letter-book and gave to
Cohalan on a Broadway car in the sum
mer of 1904. when Connolly swears Co.
halan said he was glad TO have IT because
lit Would be matter for grand jury
II discovered.
The morning session was taken up en-
tirely with the completion of the direct
examination Of Connolly by Mr.. Kellogg,
and chiefly with the work OF putting on
the record the familiar facts concerning
the $1,000 note which Connolly gave to Co
halan after the repayment of the $3.50 90
from Cohalan to Connolly.
Connolly took his long grind on the VIII
ness stand with serene composure. IL the
attitude Of some # the members or the
committee appeared to be hostile to him.
as it did to the spectators, 1t did not
bother the witness to any not!ceaple ex-
tent and his only actual difficulty seemed
TO be an utter lack of perception OF the
"joshing" that was attempted against
him.
At that Connolly displayed his own
flashes of wit on several occasions notice
ably when he was being questioned by
Mr. Stanchheld about his campaign con-
tributions. He spoke of the s2'5Vo "'lch
he had previously stated he had con-
tributed TO the Hearst campaign Tor Gov
ernor in 1906. and under Mr.. Stanchfield s
cross-examination he modified the WORD
contributed" to raised" saying that he
had contributed ore-third of It and TWO
other men had each put up one-third'
We'll, you have stated here in an aru-
Gle that you put up $500 in that cam
paign, and now, here on this witness
stand. you say you put up only sSS3' or
one-third of $3.50. Which is true?' he
was asked.
Both are true" the witness answered
81 raised $500 for that campaign and in
dorsed a note for Mr.. Chanler for $3.50
more"

effect that Cohalan did not owe the
Victor Heating Company the S3,94O co.
and that that amount was not loan.
Now, you did swear TO complaint
under oath alleging that you had given
it to him, didn't you?" asked Mr.
Stanchfeld.
ION information and belief and on
the advice of my attorney" Connolly
answered.
Whether your attorney advised you
or not, you were willing to lie about
it? Now, answer me-"
Il was willing to lie about it'-Con-
molly began in a slow, deliberate way
when Mr.. Stanchfeld interrupted say =
ing, "All right. 1 am not asking you
anything further"

Palzer really combines the styles
of both schools, the old and the new
says O'Rourke. He has the art OF
straight hitting down pat, but he is
there with the close-in rough stuff
when necessary. At close quarters
he can rip in tearing rights and let's
to the body When AL gets in shape
he will show the fans something"
O'Rourke was asked for a compari-
son of Palzer and Sharkey. "Palzer
would have beaten Sharkey," said
O'Rourke. Il had the sailor Wien he
was at his best, and know the ability
of the two men. / have no hesitan-
cy in saying that Palzer is the better
man of the two. He is bigger, fully
as strong, can hit harder and would
have made the sailor look like a nov
