the matter over until July ., another
original motion" day. and the last for
the summer.
on the final decision in the Leach case
may rest the future conduct OF all sub
committee hearings, for II the Appellate
Court should hold that the examinations
must be public where the witness is
sworn. or that he may have the benefit,
as a public official, of the advice OF the
Corpora tion Counsel, II practically will
be useless 10 hold any further secret ex-
aminations of unwilling witnesses. par
ticularly city employees. But Chairman
Meyer and Senator Brown both profess
the utmost confidence In obtaining q
final ruling upholding the contentious
OF the committees counsel. except pos
sibly on the question OF holding hearings
before a sub b-committee of only one men,
ber OF the whole body.
Corporation Counsel O'Brien, on the
other hand. is equally confident that the
courts will rule that sworn testimony
taken before subcommittee, or the
whole committee. must be taken in public
II the witness will not answer in private
or insists upon all his rights. Mr..
O'Brien's position is that. while the sub
committees of the body may lawfully
hold secret sworn examinations 70 obtain
evidence for use later at public hearings,
no witness can be compelled to answer
questions except at public hearing. In
other words. he denies the right of the
n Grand Jury inquiry. while counsel for
the Joint legislative committee insists
that It has such powers by the resolu-
t'on creating the committee.
These secret examinations under oath
are necessary, it Is argued to enable
the committees investigators to work
out and prepare matters for use in the
public hearings. 1t is expected. for In
stance, that Police Commissioner En-
right will be asked many questions, il
he is ready TO answer them, by the sub
committee Monday afternoon about the
prevalence of gambling throughout the
city and the presence of n number of
poolrooms along Park Row, about
Twcnty-third street and around Forty
second street, and elsewhere in the city.
The large number of handbooks operat-
ing throughout town is another matter
that has deeply interested the COM
mittee.
Enright will be asked, if he consents
to be sworn. why it Is that handbooks
are running openly in many places
which were saloons until Volsteadism
came in and which are still speakeasies,
or soft stuff places. selling the hard
stuff only to favored customers.
These places, the committee has been
informed. have been visited day by day
by police officers. In and out of uni
form. with instructions to suppress all
traffic in liquor and the vigilance OF
the police in this respect has really
been remarkable. But while they are
looking for liquor violations the police
are quite unable to observe the hand
book men who are standing around
