MULRANEYS TWIN CALLED
Resemblance Cited as Reason
for Accusation of O'Brien.

Patrick O'Brien, whose double, Happy
Jack" Mulraney, is in the death house at
Sing Sing awaiting Judge Rosalsky's de-
cision on his application for a new trial
for the murder Of Patrick McBreen. was
called as a witness against Mulraney
yesterday. O'Brien said he had never
seen Mulraney and failed TO identify a
photograph Of him.
The photograph, except for q different
arrangement OF the hair. might have been
one Of OBrien himself. 1t was apparent
that il was more than chance that led
Mulraney 10 accuse O'Brien, q stranger,
OF shooting McBreen. William Buell.. a
close friend OF Mulraney's, knew O'Brien,
and II IS believed by ]. Robert Rubin,
Assistant District Attorney. that Buell.
had told MulraDey of OBrien's striking
resemblance to him, and that Mulraney
cuse of the murder.
Buell., IL was learned yesterday, told
Judge Rosalsky at the private hearing on
Tuesday that he had gone with Happy
Jack" and John Bowling to commit a
burglary, but that ne had left them near
McBreen's saloon when IL was found i'm
possible to do the trick" that night. A
little later. Buell. said he heard night
sticks rapping and ran to McBrecns sa-
loon in time to see McBreen carried out.
Buell. admitted that was the true story
only after he had been promised immu-
nifty from perjury prosecution by Judge
Rosalsky. The hearing will be continued
tomorrow. when some OF Mulraney's
earlier witnesses will be recalled TO see H.,

TO BOOM PUBLIC BATHING
Campaign Planned to Popular
ize City Swimming Pools.
How often do YOU take a bath?

How often do you take bath?
That's the slogan Of the new campaign
about to be opened throughout the city to
popularize the indoor municipal baths
whose facilities are now largely going to
waste, according to the New York Asso-
citation for Improving the Condition of
the Poor. While the daily capacity OF the
twelve interior public baths in Manhat-
tan is 1855 bathers in the summer. the
average daily attendance during 1911 was
reported as only 9,sl3.
The association has recommended to
Borough President McAneny the estab-
lishment Of a Bureau of Public Baths
with a superintendent at its head. 1t has
also suggested the construction of a num-
Der of small interior baths in congested
districts and the provision Of wash houses
for the benefit of housewives in the tene-
ment districts.
In connection with a campaign of popu-
larization, the association urges that the
baths be kept open all day Sunday and
that the twenty-eight baths in public
school buildings in the city be opened
TO the public In the evening.
