Exprcssman Is Called.
Charlie Green. colored expressman,
who testified for the prosecution that
he carried a galvanized iron tub filed
with spurned gifts from Mrs. Blalock S
apartment on Seventh street to the
home of Burlingame, was next called
TO the witness stand for the rebuttal
and denied that he knew Attorney Rob-
ert I. Miller, who told the trial board
Friday that he thought Green was the
same man he had hired to haul tub
OF dishes and aluminium ware to Bur-
lingames home.
Asked whether he remembered If a
man had stopped him on the street and
engaged him to haul a tub filled with
dishes and aluminium ware to Burlin-
games home, Green replied: such a
thing has never happened to me-"
Green also said he had been to Bur-
lingames home only once, and that
was when Mrs, Blalock engaged him to
carry tub there for her
Maj. Donald A. Dawson, chairman of
the trial board, asked Green if any one
mad questioned him about the Burlin-
game trial since he first testified and
to find out why he testified. He replied
that a colored policeman had cor,e to
his home and asked him why he had
testifed the way he did. THE man
think his name was Stevenson" he
said, wanted to know what kind of
man I was and accused me of making
different statement on the witness
stand than I had made to him."
The policeman, Green testified. was
accompanied by another officer in an
automobile
Chairman Dawson told Green to re-
peat the conversation between himself
and the officer and he said: THE
officer asked what kind of man I was.
told him I was just like any other
man. And shortly afterward he got
back into the automobile and drove
away" Defense Counsel Leahy sub
sequently explained that Stevenson is
an officer attached to the second pre-
cinct station whom he had planned to
use as a defense witness because the
policeman had told him that he had
heard Green make statement to the
effect that he had never moved any
thing to Twenty-second and P streets.
Shortly after the hearing opened this
morning. Assistant Corporation Counsel
Walter Fowler called several police off,
GERS to the witness stand in an effort to-
refute testimony given by their fellow
officers in support of Capt. Burlingame
last Thursday and Friday.
Thomas Burns, colored laborer,
testified that he helped another co,ored
man move Mrs. Blalock's personal
effects from 1906 to 1904 Seventh street.
He said he saw a police officer there,
but did not know who he was.
Policeman James P. Hendricks, who
has been attached to the second precinct
station for 80 years and 9 months and
has been station clerk for 20 years,
testified that he had seen Mrs. Blalock
at the station house only two or three
times" and had never seen any woman
using the typewriter in the captains
Office. He also said he had never seen
the palnist in the Office for two or
three hours at time as several de-
tense witnesses have testified, and had
never heard reports that the woman
had ever given Burlingame tips which
he used in making raids.
Questioned About Tips.
In response to further questions by
Prosecutor Fowler, Hendricks said he
had written a number of slips contain
ing information to be used in making
raids. The tips, he said, came to him
anonymously over the telephone and
sometimes he received two or three each
day. He told the Trial Board that he
would put this information on a slip
OF paper and turn 1t over either to the
captain or to the whisky officer" at
the precinct. He declared he could not
recall whether Mrs. Bialock had ever
called him on the phone and given him
tip on place which was violating
the law.
