COURT SUsTAINS HANLEY.
Rules He Need Not Testify in Tax
Litigation.

Justice Whitaker in Supreme Court
denied yesterday the application or
David Hirschfield, Commissioner OF Ac-
counts. for an order committing Stephen
j. Hanley OF 984 Anderson avenue to
jail for refusing TO testify in an investi-
cation now in progress into the methods
and accounts of tho Department of
Taxes and Assessments.
When the investigation was started
Hanley, who was formerly a Deputy
Tax Commissioner, was subpGnaed to
appear before the Commissioner. He
failed to do so and was arrested on an
attachment issued by Justice Mullan
In Supreme Court. On April 80 he was
brought before Commissioner Hirschfield
and again refused to be sworn or testify
on the ground that he was not a city
employee and could not be compelled to
glvo evidence.
Justice Whitaker In his decision says
that Corporation Counsel Burr and Com
missioner Hirschfeld do not legally set
forth in their application that Hanley
had been an employee OF the city. He
gives permission to renew the appl'ca-
ton on papers showing conclusively
Hanley's connection with the city and
stating that the examination is sought
on matters which occurred during the
period Hanley was so employed.
