was and with Inspector Hussey, whom
he had known for twenty years.
He admitted his part in the plot to
keep Sipp out of the Jurisdiction Of the
state. and testified to his talks with
Rouss. Hussey and others with regard to
the money that was being raised by the
four inspectors and Captain Walsh to
silence Slpp.
Newell was the first witness to connect
Hussey directly with the crime for which
he IS on trial. This he did when he told
of the meeting he had with him at Silsbys
restaurant. in Brooklyn.
Il spoke TO Hussey about the frame-up
against Sipp. meaning the charges OF the
two women q always spoke OF II as
; frame-up). and told Husey II would be
foolish not to give Sipp the balance Of
the 81 200" Newell testified.
Mr.. stanchheld had the witness admit
on cross-examlnatlon that one reason
why he visited Hussey was because he
! wanted to learn what the police were
thinking OF doing with Sipp.
Wasn't that why you met Hussey in
silsbe's-because Hussey sent you word
something was in the air?"
yes"
Then he went to the telephone and
back
And said It was all right. or some
thing like that" added Mr.. Wellman. in
terrupting.
Said Sipp Would Get Money.
NO" said Newell, emphatically. "Hc
said Sipp would get the money"
This took the last hope out OF Hussey's
heart that Newell would strain a point
, for him, for old times sake. And Hussey
was not made any more cheerful by the
way the first three character witnesses
called by the defence Were hammered
down by Assistant District Attorney
/ Moss.
They were tho Rev. John =. Peters,
pastor of ST. Michael's Protestant Epis-
copal Church. in Harlem; the Rev. James
McMurray, OF Catholic Church, In Far
Rockaway. which Husey attended, and
DR.. Abraham Korn. of Harlem.
All were troubled TO find ready answers
! when questioned about names OF persons
who had spoken of Hussey's honesty
prior to December %, when the con-
spiracy was consummated.
Canon Witness for Sweeney.
When court reconvened at $50 o'clock
in the evening the defence continued TO
call character witnesses The first was
Canon Robert Ellis Jones. Of the Ca
thedral OF ST. John the Divine. He testi-
fed he had known Sweeney for several
years and had frequent dealings with him
in an official way In connection with Pea
licing the grounds about the Cathedral.
