CORBALLY’S
DEFENCE IS
FULL DENIAL
Curtailment of Case Was Sus=
prise—Lawyers on Both Sides
Had Conferences Since Friday.
POLICE COMMISSIONER
BAADER WITNESS TODAY
Disorderly Mouse Keeper Had
Tried to Rent House From
Him, but He Refused.
To the surprise of most of those in
the courtroom, the defense of Thomas
J. Corbally was opened today—earlier
t hap had been expected—in the trial
of the detective sergeant, charged with
V. nonfeasance and malfeasance. The trial
vra. again gotten under way in the
Court of Quarter Sessions before a
struck jury and Judge Ten Eyck, after
an adjournment from Friday, it be
gan last Tuesday morning and prom
ises to last during the remainder of the
week, as the State, as represented by
Prosecutor Henry Young and Assistant
Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott, had not ym
completed its story when the defendant
was again called upon to face the
bench today.
The witnesses today for the State
were Police Commissioner John Bander
and George Boston. Tho latter was
clerk at the Hotel Metropole, which
was raided by Sheriff's men.
It. wis after Boston hud testified that
1 he surprise was given by Prosecutor
) Henry Young. Ho said that since tho
Inst previous adjournment there had
been a conference between the counsel
for the defendant and representatives
ot the State at which it was agreed
not to continue the testimony about
it-,,-. flm evietenoa
ot which Under Sheriff Mason had tes
j titled lust Friday, and that the State
was willing to submit the case on its
Dehalf and that tills could be done
without prejudice to the defendant and
without interfering with the interests
of justice. This was done to shorten
the trial. The defendant's lawyers
, agreed and Samuel Kalisch opened for
Corbally.
As on the preceding days, all persons
not directly interested in the trial were
excluded from the courtroom for the
reason, in the first place, that its venti
lation is notoriously bad. and in the
second place, beeauso some of the testi
mony is of a character not fit for polite
cars at all times.
Police Commissioner Joint Baaler
was the first witness called by the
prosecution today. He iirst said that
the property Mrs. Fannie Krutzel, one
of the former divekeepers tried to buy
at 119 Mulberry street, was owned by
him. Asked whether she tried to rent
the premises, he said:
‘‘Yes, sir."
"Did you rent tier that property?"
"I did not.”
George Boston, who worked in the
Metropole Hotel, in Market street, in
1905, one of the “pulled” places, then
identified the register of the “hotel,”
of which ho said he was manager and
oierk.
Asked what sort of business was
going on there lie said, after Mr.
Kalisch had objected, that "women
from the sjtreel frequented the place.”
"Did you ever see Mr. Cdrbally there
during 1906?” ho Mas asked.
He answered in the afllt'i native and
.-aid that he was there half a dozen
times soon after Katz's place In Mul- 1
berry street was raided.
“AVhat did lie do?”
"tie looked in for the proprietress of I
the place anil looked at the register." ;
"Did he ever give you any directions j
^ an to the manner In which sou were to
keep the register?”
"Be sura not lo have the same iturn- 1
her of the room put twice on the reg
ister."
"Did you change the register?’? j
"Yes. sir, about a month before the
raid,” answered the former manager
and clerk.
“Did Cor bally ever see this register?”
witness was asked as a hotel book was
1 passed up to him.
“I think he must have.”
The witness afterwards said* that he
was suin' i’orbally did; lit any rate It
ictf the register as he kept it after Ihc
Katz raid.
After detailing some of tiie inside
workings of the hotel, the witness
eddod that Corbolly never went up-J
stairs to his knowledge.
, Mr. Kalisch. on the cross-examina
tion. asked Boston where lie worked
ifter the place was pulled, and he said
“on the Plank road,” after three
months of idleness. Ho worked on the
Bowery. New York, at the Tivoli Hail
also, ho said, before he returned to this
city.
"Have you been convicted of any
offense?” demanded Afr. Kalisch.
"Never in my life.” responded Boston.
It was when Boston’s eross-examina

ASTOUND PUBLIC
Sensational Disclosures to Be
Embodied in Hahn Probe Com*
mittee's Rahway Report.
“WHAT WE FOUND WILL
SURPIRSE THE PEOPLE”
Dungeons Worse Than They
Have at State Prisons, Says
Investigators’ Chief.
That the forthcoming report of the
Ilahn investigating committee of the
last Legislature will make some start
ling disclosures of conditions found at
the Rahway Reformatory, was ap
parent from some remarks made by
Mr. Hahn last night.
“We still have our reports to mako
out," said he. “It’s an awful job, too,
i to got that evidence together. We will
i surprise many people with what we
] found at Railway.
i "When they built the buildings they
j first ran up u big dome, arid then built
; the rest around it. Wc found the place
| "o crowded that there were rows and
: rows of cots In the corridors for prison
j ej-s and the cells ail full. Thero was
! that huge dome on top absolutely use
less.
“Way down under ground they’ve got
some dungeons that are worse than
anything I ever found in a State prison.
For the slightest offense a man or a
boy would be chained down there in
darkness and lie there for, sometimes,
two weeks, and live on broad and
water. There were no sanitary ar
rangements, and the filth was awful.
The dungeons of the Middle Ages were
no worse.
“We also found,” continued Mr.
bulged in immoral practises. Wo got
a dozen witnesses to testify against
him, and a lot more, I believe, were
afraid to tell, He is still in tlie insti
tution. He’s a son of a man higher up.”
RETICENCE AT PITTSBURG
ABOUT WALTON’S DEATH
IBy Telegraph to the Star t
- .TTSBUKG, Pa., Feb. 2.— John F.
Walton, one of the best known clubmen
and business men of Pittsburg and Al
legheny, will be buried from his home,
1109 Allegheny avenue, North Side, to
morrow.
That Mr. Walton died suddenly at
Orange, N. J., last Friday, is all tlie
family hero seems prepared to give
out. those connected with the Walton
household refusing absolutely today to
give any further information.
By this reticence a shroud of great
mystery lias been thrown round the
death of the wealthy eoal man.
John F. Walton was, up to tlie time
of Itis death, president of the Joseph
Walton estate. His father was Joseph
Walton, perhaps the best known eon!
man in the world in ids day. He died
about fourteen years ago, leaving an
estate numbering high into tlie mil
lions, He \yis the river coal king from
Pittsburg to New Orleans, and the
handling of this immense estate passed
into the hands of the man who ,has j
.lust, died suddenly. Since, tlie death of
' I'1' " n-iiun mu vuai uu^Uli i i\un
absorbed by the river caul trust at |
several limes its real value, so tie I
value of the estate cannot now well be
estimated.
The death of J Ohrid’. Walton was a
subject of much discussion around
clubs here today.

Dalrymple Confident, but Is Just
Sawing Wood—Halsey Will
Stick, He Says.
! BAIRD BACKING WEST
AND LOOKING FOR AID
Present Incumbent Seems to Be
Holding His Own—Dalrym*
pie Second Choice.
In spite of the odds said to be in
I favor of Harry J. West, of Camden
County, for the office of comptroller to
I succeed J. Willard Morgan, County
Chairman Alfred N Dalrymple, one of
j the two Essex County candidates, said
'this morning that his chances looked
good to him. The county chairman will
be in the crowd at the Stole House to
night, as will the other candidates from
both ends of tiic State.
"As far as I know the situation is
the same as it was lust week,’ said Mr.
i Dalrymple this morning. "The STAR
lias ulreudy confessed the possibilities.
J You may say, though, that the pros
i pects look pretty bright to mo.
"Tonight,” he said, "when tilings arc
not quite so much up in the air I may
have something to say.”
George E. Halsey, treasurer of the
Republican County Committee, was
even more reticent When approached
I on the subject.
"All t care '# say,” 1 * declared, “it
that J am a candidate and will con
tinue to bo a candidate. As to my
I chances and where the votes will come
frdm I would rather not say.”
Dispatches from Trenton last night
seemed to give the office 10 West.
“Davy” Baird, of Camden County, Is
, backing West, although another Pouth
| Jersey man, Henator John Boyd Avis,
I is in the race, too.
The comptroller claims <o have eight
votes in the joint majority caucus to
be held ttimro-7-nw noon, and Aids also
counts some as liis own. Dalrymple,
it Is understood, will receive the full
strength of the Essex delegation.
Twenty-seven votes will he needed
for a majority, unltas the proxy of the
absent Assemblyman, George W. Hou
se!, of Jlercer, now in (he hands of As
semblyman Edward H. Ginnelly, is
recognized. In that case the full
strength of the caucus will be In evi
dence, forty Republicans from the
House, and fourteen from the Senate.
The line-up for West just now look?
like Uiis: Atlantic, 2; Bergen, 2; Bur
lington, .'1; Cape May. 2; Cumberland,
2: Middlesex 1; Morris, C; Ocean, 1;
Pn.sicaie, 4; fnion, 5. and possibly two
or three more from Mercer and other
counties. That gives West within two
of a majority and Baird is after those
two.
in tlie event of Baird and tlie other
South Jerseymen being unable to send
things West-ward their second choice
will be Dalrymple. it is said. County
Clerk Frank F. Patterson and J. Wes
ley Sells, of Camden, visited Newark
recently, and. It Is rumored, with an
Intent to make some decision as to
what w<juld be 1 heir course should such

agreed to this measure as one calcu
