The (7nlte State Dlitrlet Attorney and Mr. Itiow Hare Scene Mr. G06T Severely Deuoaoc the Police Ca.pta.lui and Accatee Them of A 1 moit Ever Crime in tbe Book New Yobk, Deo. 3L This morning1 Mr. Oofl announced that Mr. Mott of the United States district attorney's oSIce wished to make a state men regarding the charges made by the green goods men Louis B. Streep and his brother. He said that Mr. Mott was a well known and esteemed member of the New York bar and he had every faith in his integrity as a citizen and lawyer. "We declined to hear Mr. Comstock yesterday, Mr. Goff," said Mr. Lexow, "and it would hardly be fair to allow Mr, Mott to make an explanation . wnen we refused a similar privilege 10 Air. comstock." Mr. Mott here took off his coat and advancing toward the desk, said: ".You say you have stricken the evi dence as to me from vour record. That is not enoucrh to destroy the smirching which you allowed to be tnrown upon me. Had I known on last Thursday evening that I was to De assailed in so disgraceful a manner. whether above the ground or under the earth, on the ocean or under the ocean, I would have been here to de nounce the charge of corruption so scandalously brought against a United Mates district attorney. Did anv public official of this committee know what this man Streep was to testify? II so i should Have been informed and some attempt made to ascertain whether his statements were true or not" Mr. Lexow replied: "We have done all in our power in striking out the record. ' You deny the charge made against you?" "Deny the charge?" shouted Mr. Mott. "Deny the charge? A charge made against me by a twice convicted criminal. Why. I should deny any- tmng on sucn a man s statement" Mr. Lexow then trrew ancrrv and said loudly: "If you wish to remain nere you win remain as a witness, and can make a denial on oath." Mr. Mott replied still more angrily: "You have no right to speak to me, sir, in such a manner. I have my rights as a citizen just as well as you and I have a right to denounce here the base charges allowed to be made against me." Chairman Lexow rapped his gavel violently on the desk. "You have no right to speak here," he cried. "You will confine yourself to the charges made against you by a witness. You must keep quiet here. You may if you choose be sworn and deny the statements on the record." "Deny the record," Mr. Mott cried: "Why you say you have no record." Mott then put on his coat and left the room, shouting as he started for the door. "I will not disgrace myself by submitting to your rudeness.". Captain Martens was called and said that Mrs. Martens was very sick. Mr. Goff then accused him oi keep ing his wife away from court fearing that on her examination she might tell someihing that would substanti ate the charges of corruption of which Martens is accused. Martens tried to explain his wife's condition, but Mr. Goff would not let him and kept on saying very severe things. "You may go now," said Mr. Goff, as soon as he thought he had said enough. "Is Captain Meakin here?" There was no answer and Mr. GofI charged the absent captain with pro tecting "green goods" operators and several other acts of corruption. Captain Ryan was called and gave his bank books to Mr. Goff in defer ence to the orders given to him when excused yesterday. He denied that he had ever accepted any money and added; "Sure it would be very fool ish for anyone to offer me any money for protection. I would not touch it, for I am an honest man." Inspector McLaughlin was next called, but he was not on hand and Mr. Goff said: "He was subpoenaed again last night, and we telephoned to police headquarters and received the information that he had left there to come here." When McLaughlin entered the court room he apologized for not be ing on hand earlier, but said he had been in constant attendance for the last three days. He Baid that he was 21 years old when he joined the police force. He then had $6,000. This he had left first with his mother and later with his wife. Mr. Goff asked him if he ever got back the $6,000 from his wife, but the inspector hedged around and finally said that his wife paid $7,000 on a house in 1885, but he did not take this as a payment to him of the $6,000. Mr. Goff went on putting the same question repeatedly and finally Mr. Laughlin said: "I have received moneys from my wife, but as to that original amount I cannot say that I ever got it" His Mother Crazed by His Crime.
