testimony against KrSel in connectio
with the Owl club. He said a captain
at the police station directed him tc
go the the Owl club and meet Kugel
who, according to the testimony, tolt
the detective to go easy on a certain
saloon because the proprietor was al
right.
while I and Kugel were at the
Owl club l observed card games anc
bootlegging," testified Unger..
The witness declared he was posi-.
tive he saw Sutton and Mrs. Phelps
at the Nelson home, because he had
the occasion fixed in his mind on ac-
count of Sutton paying him a debt
of $4.
To Discredit Sutton.
The witness discredited testimony
Of Sutton last week, that on various
occasions Unger and Harvey Wolf
appeared during times of raids. Unger
declared that only on one occasion
was Wolf with him and that was &C
cidentally and because Volts automo-
bile happened to serve the occasion.
The witness added that his wife and
Mrs. Wolf had been close friends for
years.
In the testimony he reiterated re-
porting the Nelson place to Kugel
and that on occasion he reported to
Kugel at the Owl club and at Pete
Loch's place.
Unger charged Paul Sutto.l with
disinclination to raid certain places.
Mrs. Nelson, in her testimony, stated
that her place never had been raided,
probably because she wore a horse
shoe around her neck.
New Maloney Charges.
Another feature of the afternoon
was offered by City Attorney Rine,
who presented new charges against
Captain Maloney, prepared at the re-
quest Of Superintendent Kugel and
based on the public reference to Kugel
as "a dirty rat" by Captain Maloney
last week. Those charges will be con-
sidered ythe city council next week.
The defense offered considerable
evidence to refute charges made by
Detective Sutton in connection with
alleged neglect by Captain Maloneys
department to bring criminals to JUS
tice.

Detectives Dunn and Kennedy testi-
fed that in the case of burglary at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Gille an earnest effort was made to
apprehend the thief and neither of
them pointed out a prisoner as the
man who committed the crime. De-
tective Rich testified that in the Smith
drug store murder case suspect was
held for identification, but was re-
leased after witnesses failed to identity
the prisoner.

George Urbach garbage hauler, Of
fered hhearsay evidence that Maloney
is interested with Henry Pollock i'll
llog-feeding ranch, received per
cent OF the profits OF sale of hogs,
and was instrumental i'll prevailing
upon certain downtown persons to
give their garbage 10 Pollock instead
OF to the witness. He charged ir-
regularity in alloting districts of the
city to three individuals without ad-
yertising for bids and giving all haul
ers an equal opportunity.
Catherine Sheehan, ll45 North

her purse was snatched last January
she and others pursued the thief who
