Proceeds with That of

Accused Captains' Ex-Ward Men
Also Placed on Trial by
the Police Board,
INSPECTOR M'LAUGHLIN NEXT 7
Commissioner Sheehan Uninten-
tionally Betrays the Intentions
of His Associates.
Police Capt. William S. Devery and
, Patrolman Edward Glennon were or
' ttrtd to trial this atternoon by the
Board ot Police Commissioners.
After examining several witnesses as
b tbe mental and physical condition of
Capt. Devery the Commissioners ordered
that tbe Captain's trial proceed on the
charges preferred against htm by Supt.
Byrnes on the complaints of a cloud of
witnesses that he took from them 3500
bribes and exacted 50 monthly "blood
Money" for permitting: them to run dis
orderly houses, while be was In com
mand ot the Eleventh Precinct. Eld
rldga street station.
This was In spite ot formidable, affi
davits signed, by Dra, X, W. Decker -and
Frederick Peterson and Mrs. Devery,
presented by Lawyer Abram I. Elkus, on
a motion for an adjournment.
Capt. Devery was not present In the
trial room at Headquarters, cpnslstently
with the physicians' affidavits that he
was toj 111 to appear for trial. His ex
nard detective, Glennon, however, who
Is Jointly accused with Capt. Devery,
was in court. .. .
The Police Commissioners gathered In
President Martin's room at 10 o clock
and went Into executive session to
prepare their decision In the cases of
Sergts. McKenna, Clark, Llebers, Jor
dan and Parkcrson, tried before them
eitcrday afternoon.
Capt Adam A. Cross, also summoned
for trial at 10 o'clock this morning,
came to court at that hour, carrying a
little leather satchel, like a lawyer's
brief bag. He was very spruce, but
could not maintain his natural happy
mien. He was plainly nervous.
Cross Without Counsel.
"I am without counsel," he said. "Col.
George Bliss Is too 111 to appear, and he
has returned my papers to me."
As counsel appear for accused police
officers, not by right, but by the cour
tesy ot the Commissioners, the absence
of his lawyer made no difference to the
Hoard or Prosecutor Welln.an.
.Mr. Wellman said Jocularly:
'President Martin 'telegraphed Col.
BllbS at Lenoxdale, Miss., Monday, that
the trial of Capt, Cross could not be
postponed because of his 'sudden Illness
and violent remedies,'
In response, Mr. .Iartln got a letter
last evening saying that Col. Bliss had
sent Capt. Cross's papers to htm, but
adding that the Captain couldn't get
them befrre 1 o'clock to-day. This
seemed funny. Inasmuch as we got this
letter yesterday. I am glad the Captain
baa his papers."
Capt Cross nas followed to the trial
ream by his former ward men In the
ladrldge street precinct, George Smith
and James Burns, wno aru to be tried
jointly with the Captain.
Uevery's Cuic Called.
The Commissioners called the case of
Capt Devery at 11.03 o'clock.
Abram Blkus, counsel for Capt. Devery,

Next day Capt. Devery was suffering

O'Sulllvan testified that Dr. Becker
waB with the Captain at the time of his
visit.
Devery Wan Surprised.
" 'My God! I didn't expect this so
soon!' Capt. Devery exclaimed when I
served the papers. Then he asked Dr.
Becker. 'What condition do you think I
am In?"
"He asked Dr. Brecker for advice, and
Dr. Becker advised him not to sign It
signing would put upon him any respon
sibility. "Dr. Becker said, 'You are not In con
dition to be tried.'
"Then I asked Capt Devery to sign
a receipt for the papers.
"It was three-quarters of an hour be
fore I could get the Captain to sign.
He ald he lift trouble with his head
and he shook hands with mc when I
left."
Mr. Wellman next called Louisa Schill
ing, a shy and frightened girl of seven
teen years, dressed all In white.
Miss Schilling Is a daughter of the
proprietor of the Atlas Hotel at Bocka
way Beach, where Capt. Devery's family
were spending the Summer.
"The Captain came down Saturday and
remained over Sunday," said Miss
Schilling.
"How did he look and act the Saturday
and Sunday, Aug. 4 and S?" asked Mr.
Wellman.
"rfiist as usual. They left for good
MOnday, Aug. 6."
Inspector Conlln'a experience.
Inspector Conlln told his experiences
on the two occasions when he escorted
Drs. Hamilton and Fisher to the door
of the Devery house, where they were
denied admission.
Mrs. Devery recognized the Inspector,
but would not allow him nor the phy
sicians nor Surgeon Nammack to enter.
Dr. Allan McLune Hamilton corrobo
rated Inspector Conlln's testimony. Po
lice Surgeon Nammack sat by and lis
tened while Dr. Hamilton, with the skill
of a recognized expert In mental and
nervous diseases, dissected his thirteen
"objective and subjective symptoms" and
drew the conclusion that the surgeon's
report was much more alarming than
the condition It described.
"The symptoms described by Dr. Nam
mack Indicate only a Blight rushing ot
blood to the head," said Dr. Hamilton,
"a condition the result of excitement,
strain or worry, but not such a condi
tion as to unfit the man for business.
Mr. Wellman urged that the trial of
Capt. Devery go on. Hersald that It was
plain the Captain was longing for trial,
and If not tried now It would be Im
possible ever to try him. One witness
had already left the country, and It was
difficult to keep the others In bourn. a.
Then the Commission denied Mr.
Elklns'B motion for a postponement till
Col. Edward C. James got back from
Japan, Nov. -, Commissioner Sheehan
voting In the negative because, as he
said:
"No court In chlstendom would refuse
a postponement In a case of this kind."
Tehn Devery and Glennon were or
dered to the bar, whereupon Frederick B.
House 'ajked for a .postponement for
Glennon on the ground --that Glennon
needed Capt. Devefy's testimony In his
defense, and the Captain was too 111 to
appear as a witness. This was denied.
Commissioner Sheehan again dissenting.
Mcl.nuchlln to De Tried.
In explaining his dissent from the ac
tion of the Board, Commissioner Shee
han exploded a sensational bomb, which
Implied that charges were being pre
pared against Inspector William Mc
Laughlin. Commissioner Sheehan said:
"I dissent because It appears that
when Supt. Byrnes saw Capt. Devery.
and when the papers were served, he
was a sick man. As to Mr. Wellman's
suggestion that the witnesses might slip
away, I thing there could be no harm
In that direction, for the same witnesses
who appeared against Devery will be
used against Capt. Cross and against
Inspector McLaughlin.
It was 1 o'clock this afternoon when
all the motions were disposed of, and
then a recess was taken, the rive trials
to be taken up after luncheon.
Then Capt. Cross, the lawyer-policeman,
advanced and asked for a postpone
ment of his trial on the ground that he
had been left without counsel by the
Illness of Col. Bliss: that he had had no
time to examine and prepare a defense
against the forty-six chargeB, partly be
cause he had been detained as a witness
at Headquarters all day yesterday.
The Captain said he did not seek to
evade the trial. In fact he courted It,
and wanted an adjournment only till
Monday or Tuesday next.
Mr. wellman. opposing, said that the
forty-six charges boiled down amounted
really to only five charges, and two ot
these must be abandoned, because the
complaining witnesses had disappeared,
left the country. The prosecutor did not
think the handsome Captain had any
thing to do with it. t
Commissioner Sheehan said he thought
Capt. Cross's request was reasonable, and
moved for an adjournment till Wednes
'day. but he was voted down.
Capt. Crosa excepted, and then moved
that he be given a Beparate trial from
Patrolmen Smith and Barnes. This was
granted, on the plan of the five trials
of the sergeants that went on yesterday
all at the same time.
President Martin announces that Capt.
Devery. ex-Ward Man Edward Glennon.
Capt. Cross and Ward Men Smith and
Burns would all be defendants at the
same time, each witness being sworn
again and again against each defendant,
but being called to the stand but once.

NO YACHT RACE TO-DAY.
Vigilant - llrltnnnln Match Post
poned Owing- to a Gale,
(Bjr AliocltLd PrtJl.)
FRESHWATER, Isle of Wight, Aug
16. The private match arranged be
tween Mr. George J. Gould and the
Prince of Waleo, to sail Vigilant and
Britannia fifteen miles to windward and
return, for a cup offered by Lord
Wolverton, was postponed Indefinitely
this morning, owing to the fact that a
gale of wind was blowing, making It Im
possible for the yachts to put to sea.
The Times says It Is probable that
the decision of the Gould brothers not
to contest In yesterday's regatta lost
Vigilant aTace.
The failure ot the Messrs. Gould to
race Vigilant yesterday is still adversely
commented upon on all sides. One
newspaper says: "We hear so much
about what Vigilant can do In a hard
wind that It would have been only
sportsmanlike to give Satanlta a chance
of proving her. The excuse that Vigi
lant was preparing for to-day does not
hold. It must be noted that Britannia
does not need to go Into training."

FOUND IN DISHABILLE.
Detectives Surprise Two Burglars
in a Lawyer's Houbo.
They Were About tq Change Their
Clothing for Better Suits.
Had Valuables Packed Ready to
Cart Avray.
Mr. John Hayes, a 'awyer, of 114 Nas
sau street, vho Uvea at 217 East Fiftieth
street, went to Monticello, N. Y., for the
Summer two months ago, and notified
Capt Rellly, of the East Fifty-first
street station, before going.
Since the family went away Ward
Detectives Lang and Campbell have
been extra careful In looking after that
house. About 8.30 o'clock yesterday
morning, the detectives were walking
through the street, when they noticed
that the window-shades, on the second
floor, were halt way up, for the first
time since the family went away.
They tried the front door and the area
door, but found them both locked. Then
they tried the areaway of the house
219, next door, whose occupants are also
away. This they found open. They
went up through the house to the root
and then climbed over on the roof of 217.
Here they found the scuttle open. It
had been wrenched completely off and
lay to one side of the hole. They clam
bered softly down into the house, and
as they approached the second floor
they heard the sound of voices. They
opened a door quietly, and found two
naked men sorting over a lot of fine
clothing belonging to Mr. Hayes's
brother, some of which they evidently
expected to don In place of their own
clothing, which was thrown on u bed.
The men were Intoxicated, and live
empty quart whiskey bottles were scat
tered a.-ound the room. Evidently the
strangers had made a night of It. They
looked around coolly us the detective
entered, and when Lang spoke and asked
what they were doing there, one of them
responded: '
"Oh, we are watchmen."
"Oh. come oft. What are you giving
us? I'll bet you are up to the same
game we are. Long replied.
"What? Are you'se fellows burglars,
too?"
"Cert. What do you suppose we are
doing here?" . . ..
"Good enough," returned one of the
genuine crooks. "We will clean thta
ranch out from top to bottom. Walt
till we get some ot the gentlemen's
clothes on us." . . .
Just here Lang thought It time to un
deceive the burglars, and he and Camp
bell drew forth handcuffs for the thieves.
One of them, John Conlln, thirty-four
years old. of 317 Bowery, made a bolt,
and ullpplng pa.it the detectives dashed
upstairs. Campbell puixued him and
caught him by the legs Just as he was
disappearing through the scuttle. He
wan taken back and handcuffed to his
partner, who gave his name as Joseph
McConncll, thirty-seven years old, of 83
Bowery. Both addresses are cheap
lodging-houses.
The detectives took their prisoners to
Yorkvllle Police Court, and had them
remanded until to-day. Upon examin
ing the house nftorwurds. the detectives
found about SLOOO worth of clothing and
Jewelry pucked up. ready for removal,
and Conlln said that It had been the
Intention of himbelf and his pal to hire

The men were arraigned again In the
Yorkvllle Police Court this morning,
ard Justice Talntor held them for trial.
Prior to their arraignment they were
taken to Police Headuarters, where their
filctures were taken for the Rogues' Gal
cry. Conlln lb said to have served a
term In State Prison.

BARNES, OF BOSTON.
Riot in the Stook Eiohango on
Account of His Shirt.
He Went on the Floor Without
His Coat On.
No Written Rule Afainit It, But He
Was Hustled Out.
Mr. W. Howard Barnes Is a gentle
man of culture, and as such, of course,
belongs In Boston. He also belongs to
the slock brokerage firm of Barnes &
Cunningham, and attends to the busi
ness of his firm on the floor of the Stock
Kxchangc In this city.
Mr. Barnes Is more thantwenty-one
years old, and has received the thorough
education which all cultured Bostonlans
' are supposed by those outside ot that
hallowed circle to receive. Including the
art of dressing properly upon all occa
sions. From the example set by Mr.
Uar.ics here, Wall street thinks that In
Boston It is the correct caper to go on
the floor of the Stock Exchange In that
city In one's shirt sleeves.
Whether there arc any rules govern
ing the particular kind of shirt to be
worn on these occasions; whether the
said shirt must be cheviot or madras,
colored or plain white, with detachable
collar and cuffs, or with these necessary
articles (irmly and forever attached to
the unlrt, is a matter uf grave uncer
tainty to the stret, as Mr. Barnes, of
Boston, has not yot elucidated this point
lot Boston etlquett. Tu bu sure, a great
1 many brokers have gazed to-day upon
the manly form ot uines, of Boton, In
' his siurt sleeves, but there were so many
'other circumstances connected with his
uppeuruiicc mat tne broilers' leculleq

l nis lut, coal or wu.stcoat, but ever since
i tuu exenunge has been in existence, no
mutter how warm tne weuiner, its mem-
bers have always had the Idea that it
J was not exactly the proper thing for a
member tu gu on the noor wunoui a
i coat uf some sort.
Out of respect lor this unwritten rule
coats are always worn, some being made
of pongee silk, some of linen and various
other light matenals. I p to to-day it
was unheard of tor u member to appeal
In his shirtsleeves.
Hut It was left to Mr. Barnes, of Bos
ton, to In oak the record, and ne did It
with unexepctcd results to himself.
When the Kxchangc opened for business
.ut 10 o'clock the ciotvd of brokers around
the Atchison post hud their hunds full.
Trading vwis brisk, and the casual on-
' looker would have thought the L"-;kere
loo busy to gaze at uentlcmen ut cul
luie, ev,-n though they were In their
I shirt sleeves Hut when Mr. Barnes, of
Boston, t-uddenly appeared In the crowd
In ad the itiury of a cultured unlit, with
no coat to hide any of Its glories, they
were so shocked that trading was tern
pirariiy suspended. Atchison and Its
troubles wire forgotten, and the vision
l uf Mr Barnes, of Boston, and his shirt
was ull the half hundred brokers could
see.
It took the brokers about thirty sec

, had little show.
I he latter found himself out In the
I street, his offending shirt sadly rumpled
and soiled, but of the transition trom
the Stock Exchange floor to the asphalt
pavement In the street Mr. Barnes, of
Boston, has a mighty indistinct recollec
tion. i The last seen of him he was making a
bee-line for his office, at a pace that
would have made Nuncy Hanks turn

While In the Senate an amendment was '$M
Inserted In the Tariff bill making alcohol
free of tax when used In the arts. In Aasi
medical preparations or In other like
compounds. 'VOssa
.. '"Roughly estimated." said Mr. Miller. J-M
this amendment would reduce the rev- Jfl
enues about eight or ten millions an-
nually. The Department has alwaya . 'JM
been a-v.lnat such procedure. We al-
ready allow colleges, laboratories, Ac. M
to use their alcohol free of tax. but this
provision as to alcohol used In the arts -n
and In medicine and 'like compounds.' &
threatens to throw the doors wide
open. 3
"l hardly know what alcohol can be -j
said to be used In the arts. The pro- -VK
vision as to medicine would exempt 3:
all bitters, and It would be necessary IT
merely to put a little bitters or a dash ,
of Jamaica ginger In a barrel of whls- y
key to let It escape all revenue tax. ' '4
It Is hard to say what the ramlflca- 'S
tlons of such a system would lead to. , ',
not only In the wholesale handling of i
alcohol, but by retailers and druggists."
Chairman Wilson has bee ncommla- a i
sloned by his Ways and Means asso- il
elates to prepare the bill to overcome A
the trouble. It would have been recti- t
fled In conference If the conferrees had 'ft
not separated without reaching results. 'vi
.Mr. Wilson's bill will be given a special f ,S
rule to bring It to speedy passage, and "i
It Is expected that the change will be , ,
accomplished, so far as the House la !
concerned, without trouble. ".
