Chief" Sent $4,000 Back
Questions for Mccall.
John A. Hennessy addressed HIS largest
and most riotous audience of the cam
paign so far at the New Star Casino last
night, where about four thousand persons
gathered to hear him. For the first time
at any of Hennessy's meetings there was
a disposition on the part of some Of his
! hearers TO "heckle" him, and one or two
obstreperous persons had to be elected.
Louis Marshall, who was counsel for
Sulzer in the impeachment trial, was
chairman of the meeting,
Hennessy took up the statement from
Judge Samuel A. Beardsley, which infer
entially corroborates Murphy's statement
| that he returned the Brady 5000 and
challenged Beardsley to produce the proof
of his statement.
Murphy never paid back that $4,000 y
Hennessy said, very slowly, and the big
crowd yelled its approval and assent.
He went over the other charges he has
| previously made as to money contributed
to Tammany in the Sulzer campaign, but
! not accounted for and said that il would
amount in all 10 more than $4,000 that
| he could prove.
Evidence to Prosecutor.
or o,yo .o on oeetctopt DISTRICT attor-
| ney this afternoon" said Henaessy. the
names Of fifty men who subscribed their
| money and whose names do not appear
| upon any return list in the office of the
Secretary of State or anywhere else.
What did Murphy do with that
Hennessy said that 1t would be asserted.
| possibly not before election, but just as
soon as it was physically possible, that
| Murphy has been the head of a crowd
| of blackmailers who have gone to every
man who has had a contract. large or
small. and made him divide up accord
ing to the proportion of Nancy he was
getting out of the state or out of the
city"
He challenged Arthur A. Mclean, the
Democratic state Treasurer. to explain
why he swore to a false statement of
campaign contributions, and said that he
was going to ask the Governor of the
state, as he had already asked the Dis
trict Attorney of the county, to find out
what Mclean did with the money he
collected and didn't account for.
And when you find that out" he said.
you'll find that Murphy and Gaffney and
Donohue got it,"
He had three new questions for Judge
Mccall which he set forth as follows:
Another Challenge for Mccall.
Did Mr.. Edward Everett Mccall ever
pay back any money to Inspector VIII
lam Mclaughlin?
IF he did pay back that money to Mr.
Mclaughlin, was that money in the form
Of check?
IF that money was in the form OF
check, was it Drawn on certain bank
and was the man who signed the check
the vice-president OF that bank?"
Hennessy opened his address with his
challenge to Judge Beardsley, upon which
he piled a number of challenges to Muir
ply, saying that the Beardsley- Brady
81, 600 was only part of the large cam
paign fund collected by Tammany last
fall. In this connection Hennessy said:
Now, I find that in the papers--the
newspapers tomorrow morning Judge
Beardsley is going TO attempt TO make
sort of an alibi over a dead mans head
for Mr.. Murphy. Mr.. Beardsley, l am in
formed, says that Mr.. Murphy did pay
back that $4,000. I challenge Judge
Beardsley to produce the proof. He is "A
member of the bar Of the City of New
York He knows precisely what his duties
are as a good citizen. And | promise you
now in advance Of Judge Beardsley's pro-
nouncement in the morning that he won't
dare TO produce the proof.
Murphy never paid back that $4,000.
He may not have gambled that S25, 900 In
Wall Street. He may have invested that
in some other country estate. But one
thing is as sure as / am standing here,
that Judge Beardsley cannot prove
through the Brady estate, and he won't
attempt to prove through the Brady
estae, that Murphy returned that 81, 900.
Murphy return $4,000?
Asks About Other Moneys.
What did Mr.. Murphy do with the
900 that Jim Stewart sent down to
him? Did IL go into the hands Of j.
Sergeant Cram? And If not, where?
asked Mr.. Murphy that a week ago and he
hasn't replied. And why? Because Jim
Stewart isn't dead man. What did
Murphy do with the $4,000 that Jim
Stewart gave into the hands of j. Ser
geant Cram? Or If Murphy didn't get it,
why doesn't he cause an investigation to
be made to know why Cram and Norman
+. Mack are holding out money on him?
81 said week ago that Stewart gave
Mack $4,000 and that he sent S., 900 more
down. outside of that $4,000. Has Mack
peeped? Has Mack denied? No, he does
not dare deny IT, Now, let Mr.. Murphy
tell you tomorrow what became Of the
$4,000 that Kerbaugh sent down to him.
What became Of the other $1,000 that
Kerbaugh sent down to him. What be-
came of the $1,000 that the Barber AS
phalt people gave to him and handed TO
him personally.
That is not all that | want to ask
Mr. Murphy, but don't like to ask things
at the end of the campaign. | asked him
last week He has not had time yet to
