once. that Immediate steps may be taken
to remedy the trouble. Mr.. Hayes said :
after a week there may be an OBJ
jectionable taste noticed i'm small areas
of the distribution system where the
circulation Of water is very slow. The
elimination of the unpleasant taste and
odor in the Catskill distributing system
will be gradual and slow. but within a
few days conditions should be normal.
The reduction in the prevailing taste has
been accomplished through measures
taken by the department to minimize the
likelihood Of the synura organisms being
broken up and thus releasing the oil
contained In the cells"
w. w. Brush. Deputy Chief Engineer
OF the department. said that the unpal-
atable taste was originally increased by

HEARD HOEY YELL
AS SHOT HIT NEVILLE
Bow in Lot at Time Tells Of
Patrolman's Murder-Plea
for Dismissal Refused.

Motion for dismissal, made by Joseph
s. Rosalsky. counsel for William F.
Hoey, on trial for the urder Of Patrol
man Daniel ]. Neville on August 27 was
refused yesterday by Justice Wasser-
vogel In the Criminal Branch of the
Supreme Court The lawyer made his
appeal at the close Of the prosecution of
the case and based his request on the
fact that conflicting testimony had
shown q reasonable doub, OF guilt. He
also called attention to the likelihood Of
prejudice because OF indignation over
the shooting Of two detectives last
week.
When tho case was called Timothy
w. McEnerny of AGA Eleventh avenue
resumed the stand. McEnerny was on
duty near the scene of the crime, a
vacant lot on Eleventh avenue between
Thirty eighth and Thirty-ninth streets,
as a watchman on the night the shooting
occurred. On Tuesday McEnerny testi-
fled seeing TIoey with a pistol In his
hand running away from the spot where
Neville's body was found later.
Yesterday Mr.. Rosalsky. In his cross
examination, brought out that McEnerny
had a brother on the police force who
had been shot by gangsters fourteen
years ago. Throughout most OF his testi-
mony McEnerny showed his hostility to
the defendant, at one time so strongly
that Justice Wasservogel admonished
him.
The next witness, Thomas Kane, aged
16. an inmate of the House OF Refuge
at Mattituck, testified he had been in
the lot on the night of the murder and
had heard the shots and had then
heard Hoey scream from inside his
watchman's shanty. He said a moment
later he saw q man running. but could
not identify him as Hoey. Another wit
ness, John Gallagher. a teamster, OF
525 West Thirty-ninth street. said he
heard Neville ordering hands UP to some
one In the shack in which the police
mans body was found later. Then he
said he heard a shot and saw men
running from the shanty.

called by the defense. The trial will be
