The trial yesterday was marked by a
declaration by Capt. E. j. Kelly, COM
mander of the Third precinct and one
of the members of the board, that he
would not "be intimidated by any
one" after he had objected to the
manner in which Headley had asked
the board chairman, Inspector Will
liam G. Stott, whether he should be
forced to answer a question.
The question was propounded by
James A. O'Shea, attorney for Cox,
who asked Headley why he had not
suspended Cox when he first talked to
him about l o'clock on the morning OF
February 81. After Stott held the
question should be answered, Headley
replied that he had wanted to in
veStigate the case further at the time.
According to testimony, Cox was
placed under suspension about 1:30
am. after he had climbed down
ladder to police boat, approximately
80 minutes after Headley had talked
to him in the station house.
Il have been appointed to serve on
the board by the Commissioners and
will not be intimated by any one"
Kelly said in objecting to Headley'S
manner. Il want to give every one
a square deal. If my actions on the
board do not suit. I can be removed" !"
Headley Is Recalled.
Upon request of Kelly, Headley was
recalled as witness and asked addi-
tional questions by the captain re-
garding Cox's condition.
DR.. Fred Repetti, 811 l. street, teSti-
fed he examined Cox when the latter

Walks Are
Popular

In spite of all the busy hours
in the week for the various of.
ficials, they-at least a great
many of them-are very fond
of walking, sometimes to and
from the office.
Quite recently we surpris-
ingly ran into the tall, smiling
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr..
Henry Morgenthau, jr., who,
with "Timmie," the very es-
sence of cocker spaniel pull
chritude, was bound for down
town where the fate of so much
is decided. 1t is a very regu-
lar thing for Mr.. Morgenthau
and the little red dog to take
this walk. Nearly every morn
ing the lovable canine accom-.
panies his master to his office,
tarries there a while and then
is picked up by some member
Of the family or the chauffeur
and whisked off home again.
A recent addition to the line
of the stays of the younger set
is Hamilton Gale, an up-and'
coming young engineer, who
knows how to make buildings
colder when they are too warm,
and warmer when they are too
cold. He has a nice keen sense
of humor and is quite inter
ested in the whirring wheels of
our city. He is from "Crab-
town." on the Severn, and spent
most of his time in Baltimore,
as was soon discovered when
someone queried him about the
Black and White Ball, and he
replied with something about
a Red and White Ball which,
as we all know, is the piece de
resistance the Maryland city
social calendar offers it's deb
utantes and young bachelors.
