Hocy Takes Stand
And Denies He is
Neville's Slayer
He Declares Policeman Was
Killed in Lot Where
He Ordered 4 Suspects
TO Put Up Their Hands

william Hocy, the young gangstcr
on trial before Judge Wasservogcl and
jury in the criminal branch Of tho
Supreme Court for tho murder of Pa
trolman Daniel Neville took tho stand
IN his own behalf yesterday and denied
any part in tho shooting. He also de-
MED knowing the other men held in
connection with the murder and now in
the Tombs awaiting trial.
Under direct examination by Joseph
Rosalsky, his counsel, he admitted
long previous criminal record, and tes
tilted that he was a drug addict. He
also admitted he had killed a negro
fellow inmate of Elmira Reformatory,
but said it had been done in sclf-dc-
Tense and that he had never been in
dicted for it,
He said that on the night Of the
shooting Of Neville, who, he said, was
a friend of his. the policeman had come
into the lot where he was employed as
Waterman and had talked with him for
several minutes. About S:15 he said,
four men entered the lot carrying bun
dies and went into a shanty there.
Neville, Hoey said. suggested that they
both hide and see what the four men
were after. In few minutes, how
ever, Neville came out of his shiding
which the men had gone. AS he
reached the door he drew his pistol and
called, according to Hocy, Hands up
Three shots followed Immediately and
the policeman fell.
Hoey testified that he at once ran
into the street and told boy to notify
the police of the shooting. He was
afraid to do this himself, he said. be
cause the police had beaten him only a
week before and he was already out on
hail on robbery charge. FIc fled, and
when he read later in the papers that
the police were after him he went to
Sing Sing and gave himself up to
Father Cashin, Catholic chaplain there.
Rosalsky produced a surprise wit
ness who proved strong card for the
defense. This was II. Floyd Folsom, a
pistol expert, who testified that the
bullets found in Nevilles body could
not have been fired from an automatic
pistol such as witness for the prose
cution had said he saw in Hoey's hand
when he ran from the lot after the
shooting. Assistant District Attorney
Brothers, who is conducting the prose-
cution, was unable to cause Folsom to
modify this statement.
During his DISCRIMINATION Of the
defendant, however. Mr. Brothers got
Hoey so mixed up in his testimony that
The gangster suddenly lost control of
himself and shouted out that the Dis
trict Attorneys office was trying to
"flame' him.
you're liar, Mr.. Brothers!" he
cried as the Assistant District At
torney read from the stenographic re-
port of his statement made in the Dis
trct Attorneys office previous to his
Indictment answers which were contra
dictory to his replies to similar ques-
lions in court. He admitted he had
taken several doses Of heroin before he
went to the District Attorneys office to
be questioned.

but better methods both in physical
construction and in the relations OF
the community to highway develop
ment have beer taking form in a most
encouraging way"

attendance. Among them were gov
