Borough Head Not Porch
Climber, Distinguished
Witnesses Testify.
HOTEL BOOK SHOWS
HE WAS AT CAPITAL
One Occasion Cited by Prosecu-
ton Not Accounted for by
Diary or Scrapbook.

Borough President Maurice z. Connolly
Of Queens, backed by an imposing array
Of witnesses. took the stand in the Su-
preme Court at Hunts Point yesterday
afternoon, denying all the charges made
In the counter-suit of Aloysius G. Halle
ran whose wife is suing him for divorce.
John w. Mcdonald, examiner for the
Board Of Estimate was a witness with
an alibi for Connolly on one OF the dates
when he is said TO have been visiting Mrs.
Halleran, his wifes sister. Charles II.
Hyde, former City Chamberlain was an
other. Walter ]. Drummond, Samuel
Brock and George NJ. Curtis, Jr., Assist
ant Corporation Counsel, all swore that
on one occasion mentioned Connolly was
present at a dinner at the Waldorf.
Others on the list of witnesses for the
Borough President were Daniel Noble,
Surrogate of Queens; Edward ]. Maher,
jr., vice-president and general manager Of
the Third Avenue Railroad, and former
Representative Martin W. Littleton. They
all testified that at time when Connolly
was alleged to have been climbing a
porch roof OF the Halleran house he was
with Mrs Connolly at the Wilson inaugu-
ration In Washington.
The secretary of tho New willard Hotel
Company, of Washington, produced the
register OF the hotel, which Connolly had
signed for himself and his friends at
about $50 p. m, March 2, the evening on
which he was said to have crept in at a
window of the Halleran home.
In defending himself against Halleran's
allegations Connolly used his own diary
and two big scrap books kept by his wife.
He was able by means Of these to ac-
count for all his movements except for
four days during a period from January
%, 10 February 10, 1913, when a witness
said he saw Connolly leaving his sister
in-law's home as her husband was enter
ing the front door.
Witnesses for Halleran testified that
Halleran caught Connolly In his house at
midnight on Saturday, March /, 1918. and
that the following night they saw him 20
to the house in his automobile, climb up
a porch pillar to the roof and crawl in at
a window. A few minutes later. these
witnesses said. Connolly walked out the
front door wearing an overcoat which he
had been forced the night previous to
leave behind, owing TO the necessity for
a quick exit.
These two nights were the principal
dates mentioned in Hallerans charges,
and to refute testimony regarding them
Connolly put his distinguished forces on
the stand to testify about the Waldorf
dinner and the trip to Washington.
Connolly and his sister-in-law seemed TO
have the best of the argument at yester-
days session. Profiting by the experience
OF the night before. when the back-ttre OF
an automobile started a rumor that gun

STEW ROUSED PRISON IRE
Clancy Denies Incendiary Fire
at Sing Sing.

Warden James NJ. Clancy won't be-
lieve that the convicts are purposeiy
making things hot for him as his term
at Sing Sing draws to an end. Every
thing was quiet at the prison yester-
day after the early morning fire.
Clancy thinks the blaze which de-
stroyed the enamelling shop was
caused by a spark from passing New
York Central engine and had no con-
nection with the strike of prisoners In
the knitting shop in the afternoon. he
says the strike was merely due TO the
circumstance that the potatoes In the
Irish stew at dinner were not cooked
to the usual Sing Sing nicely.
The Parole Board sat at the prison
yesterday. Sixteen convicts were
paroled.

The other lacks educational advan-

would not take suggestion II It were

These two men are both employed

attains more satisfactory results In

their suggestions and carries them

ton being Third West street, which

iull length.
Many have suggested that Third
Sorth should be another exception.
While this will not be the principal
street OF the city, II Is the street that
30 per cent of the people who visit
he city will go on. Besides this 1t
IS the street that most of the people
who travel from Ogden to Nephi will

,orm an opinion of our town by what
hey see. II they see street with
i paved walk and painted fences on

With weeds hiding an Imprinted fence

lion they Will get of the town. Be-
sides this the interurban officials have
given II out that the depot will be
coated on the corner of First West
street, where 80 per cent of the people
who come and go from Lehi will have
walk to and from.
II is understood that the committee
has definitely agreed to include the
north side of Third North street and

south side is not included people COM
