CUCUMBER WATER FLAVOR
BATTLES CITY'S EXPERTS
Easy Enough to Kill Naughty Little Bugs, but Getting
Rid of Oily Residue Proves Puzzling So Expert
ments Must Be Made for Week or More.

Just how long it will take to eliminate
the cucumber and oily taste in the water
supply of Manhattan, Brooklyn and The
Bronx could not be ascertained yester-
day from officials of the Department of
Water Supply. Gas and Electricity, who
are making every effort to solve the
somewhat puzzling problem. Killing the
guilty synura has been found to be easy,
but removing the oil has baffled the ex-
perts.
The supply of the Kensico reservoir,
which contains 10000, 100000 gallons of
water. has been shut off to make
weeks test in the citys war OH the
synura. the organism which has caused
the offensive taste. The city's supply is
now being taken from the Ashokan res
crvoir. which contains about 100000
100000 gallons of water. About 700.
100000 gallons Is the average supply
daily served the city. '
The following statement was issued
last night by the Department of Water
Supply, Gas and Eelectricity:
Our laboratory reports that the SAM
pies taken yesterday show that there are
three times as many synura In the Ken
sico water as in the water coming di
rectly from the Ashokan Reservoir. II
will, therefore. be advisable to continue
taking the water from the AsholSan

Reservoir. through the aQueduct, and
shutting off the Kensico Reservoir.
During the lass twenty-four hours
there has been material Improvement
ia the taste of the water as 1t leaves the
Hillview Reservoir, and this improve
ment should be noted by the consumers
within a day or so. The department has
found no difficulty in completely destroy
ing the synura in the water. but has
so far been unable to satisfactorily re-
move the oil which is contained by this
microscopic organism. Wherever the
waited is boiled for ten minutes. and al
lowed to cool, the Objectionable taste en-
tirely disappears.
THE department is undertaking tests
which involve the treatment of the water
in the aqueduct just below the Ashokan
Reservoir. The synura in this water Will
be destroyed by copper sulphate, and a
determination made whether the two
days travel in the ninety-two miles OF
aqueduct from the Ashokan Reservoir to
the Hillview Reservoir, including the
spraying of the water through the Ken
sico erato- and the passing through the
Hillview Reservoir will sufficiently re-
move the synura oil to eliminate the
present taste and odor. These tests Will
take at least weeks time to carry out.
and. meanwhile the shutting off of the
Kensico Reservoir Is expected to ma
terially diminish the present objection
able taste to the water"

cused With Gun After Po-
liceman Was Shot.

Timothy w. McEnerny. star witness

day OF William f. Hoey. charged with
the murder on August q of Patrolman
Daniel J. Neville, testified he heard the
two shots that killed the policeman and
saw Hoey running away with revolver
in his hand.
McEnerny. a Pennsylvania Railroad
watchman. said he was standing in the
street opposite the vacant lot near
Eleventh avenue. between Thirty-eighth
and Thirty-ninth streets. where the
body of Neville was found. When he
heard the shots he saw three men
scramble over the fence close by.
''The first one was Hoey." he testi-
fled. pointing TO the prisoner, land he
waved his gun and told me to get back
or he'd give it to me. Then another
fellow came over the fence and a third.
who looked like he'd just woke up, came
over. / was only three feet away from
Hoey. He crossed to the south side of
Thirty-eighth street and ran off west
toward Eleventh avenue"
Inc Witness Sald ne nau known HOeY,
who also was a watchman, prior to the
murder. He showed his hostility to the
prisoner by adding that he had known
him well enough "to keep my eyes on
him." McEnerny lives at 164 Eleventh
avenue.
Wnen the case was called Joseph S.
Rosalsky, counsel for the accused man.
asked Justice Wasservogel for n post
ponement on the ground that the pris-
oner could not have a fair and Impair
tial trial at a time when the public
mind was infiamed by the shooting last
week OF Detectives Miller and Buckley
by Luther Boldly. His motion was de-
MED by the court and the work of Sc
Iecting the jury was begun. Each Juror
was asked 1.-THE recent shooting had
created any prejudice in his mind that
could cause him to be unreasonably an
tagonistic to the defendant
George N. Brothers. Assistant District
Attorney. declared Hoey had been out
on bail for another crime at the time
OF the Neville killing, that Hoey had
served term In the New Hampton re-
formatory and that he had been accused
of another killing more than a year
ago.
Immediately after the murder of Ne
Vile last August suspicion was directed
at Hoey. who had fed from his shack
on the lot In which the policeman's body
was found. A few days later Hoey
walked into Sing Sing and surrendered
himself to Father William Cashin, chap
lain Of the prison.

Big sums to Defend Woman.

Charges have been made that big sums
of money were used in the defense OF
Mrs. Brooks and this has given rise to
the allegations OF bribery. Not only
will all the facts of the murder be re-
viewed. but special attention will be di-
rected to the handling of the case in the
District Attorneys Office before the
Grand Jury. the Developments at the
trial and the police activities In connec-
tion herewith.
Mr.. Banton stated yesterday that ow-
ing to his association with the case be-
fore taking office he felt disqualified 10
review the complaints. and. therefore.
asked that a special prosecutor he APP
pointed. The attitude at Albany is that
Gov. Miler's action is based on the IN
formation given by Mr.. Banton, and be-
ing a matter OF formality is in no sense
a reflection upon the District Attorney
The agitation for the reopening the
case as urged by the anonymous letter
writer's was regarded at the District
Attorneys Office as case OF spite
work." as it was pointed out that
I.aresch's sentence would be In no way
affected by any action that might DC
taken against Mrs. Brooks.
Mr.. Banton was in private practice at
the time he was retained as counsel by
Mrs. Brooks, and succeeded In having
his client testify before the Grand Jury
without signing q waiver of immunity
although she was urged to do so by the
prosecuting attorney. A few weeks later
he was appointed chief Of the staff OF the
District Attorneys Office and severed his
connections with the case.
Mr.. Bantons letter to Gov. Miller
dated December II. reviews the details
of the murder, and adds the following
explanation:
Lucille Brooks was rendered by me
as witness for the people and gave bail
in $4,000. Application has been made
for the discharge Of this bail. and l am
informed by Assistant District Attorney
George y. Brothers. in charge of the
Homicide Division of this office. that
number of anonymous letters have been
received regarding Lucille Brooks. In
view OF my former association as her
counsel, and the fact that soon I shall
assfIme the Office of District Attorney.
mly I request you. pursuant TO provi-
sions OF Che executive law. to designate
the Attorney General to take control of
tho case
The Attorney Office has the
righ. under the law to take over all the
records and evidence In the case. and
supersede the District Attorney as prose-
cutor. No official instructions have yet
been received from Albany.
Mrs. Brooks is said to be living In
Chicago. where her husband lives.

SIFT BROOKS BRIBE
RUMOR, SAYS MILLER
Orders Newton to Get Facts
About Woman Accused i'm
Lieut.. Horizons Murder.
FAvORITISM Is ALLEGED
Banton, Once Lawyer for Her,
Joins in Urging Action
by Governor.

Attorney-General Charles d. Newton
vas instructed yesterday by Gov. Miller
to carry out a Grand Jury investigation
into all charges of "favoritism and mis-
carriage OF Justice I'm connection with
the murder of Police Lieutenant Floyd
Horton, who was killed in New York in
December, 1920 The Governor specifies
that the inquiry be directed ito any
criminal charges against Mrs. Lucille
Brooks" arising from her connection
with Horizons DEATH
This action has been taken at the
request Of Joab ii. Banton, District At
torney, who acted as counsel for Mrs.
Brooks before taking office as Chief
Assistant District Attorney to Mr..
Swami. Bernard Sander, who was
counsel for Nicholas Laresch. who re-
ceived a life sentence for his part in the
murder. charged frequently during his
clients trial that favoritism had been
shown to Mrs. Brooks. as she had been
allowed to testify before the Grand Jury
and thus secure immunity.
1t has been learned, however, that the
direct cause of Mr.. Bantons request has
been the receipt recently of number
of anonymous letters complaining Of the
lenient treatment accorded to Mrs.
Brooks and asking that the case be re-
opened. Mr.. Sander said yesterday that
he had not communicated with the Gov
ernor and added that he had "the
highest regard for the honor and integ-
rity" OF Mr.. Banton.

Plea by Policeman. widow.

Soon after Laresch's conviction the
widow of Floyd Horton appealed to Mr..
Sander, asking il something could not
be done to Mrs. Brooks as well as the
actual murderer. Sander told her. he
said. that she would have to appeal to
the District Attorneys Office.
Mrs. Brooks was an occupant of the
automobile that carried Nicholas La
resch and his brother. Joseph. to an
apartment house at $40 West 146th
street on the night of December II.
1920. for the purpose Of attacking a
negro elevator operator whom Mrs.
Brooks accused of having made inn
proper advances. Nicholas Laresch
charged at the trial that 1t was at her
command that he fired the shot killing
Lieut.. Horton as he stepped on the run
ming board of the machine.
Horton was returning from duty In
plain clothes when he heard sounds Of
excitement outside of the apartment
house and saw two men run out of
the doorway and board the machine.
Not finding the elevator operator there,
they had held up another employee of
the building and were escaping from
the holdup when Lieut.. Horton at
tempted to interfere. In the exchange
OF shots that followed Lieut. Horton was
killed and Mrs. Brooks was wounded in
the arm.
