? get out, and after that the two went to
n house in Washington street.
“What did you find there?” asked Mr.
' KaUscli.
“Two women,” he answered, “and
Williamson said he came from the
• Sheriff and I said r came from the
chief of police, and we told them to get
out.”
i Corbally went on to testify that the
same process was gone through with
In a house In Lafayette street. 21 Ailing
5" street, where three women and a man
were found, and at 311. 317, 353 and £p!>
Market street, besides 353 Commerce
* street.
The trips with Williamson were made
early in 1906, and Corbally said that.
W besides making these trips, he served
notice upon landlords in several in*
stances. The places they called on in-j
eluded 9 Campbell street find Gaines's
gambling place, since closed up, in
,.t Academy street.
“ “Did you ever have any complaints
or warrants against any of these
t houses?” he was asked.
ff. "So complaints or warrants,” re
peated the witness.
In telling about the notices served up
?■ on landlords, Corbally said he did so
as to 40 Liberty street, 9 Commerce
street, 341 Market street, 353 Market
1 street, 92 Academy street and other
alleged houses of Ill-repute.
On March », 1906, the trips were re
sumed, he said, after Williamson went
Into police headquarters and the chief
had directed him, Corbally, to go out
with him.
One of the visits was to Glori's, then
at Academy and Halsey streets, and
Corbally was aHked what was going
on there.
“Men were playing pinochle.'
"Did Williamson leave any, instruc
tions?”
“He did. He told Glovi that informa
tlon had been received that gambling
was going on. Glori denied this and
said that his place was only used as
V, the headquarters for a pinochle club.”
Other trips were made on other days,
v Corbally ndded, but places were found
closed up.
“Did you ever go out with William
. son without an order from the chief
that you eolild go?” was the next qu
tlon.
, “Never, was me answer.
During the progress of the examina
tion, Dr. Joseph W. Fewsmlth, who
had been directed to look into the Vuy
t sicai condition of Williamson, who is
sick with heart disease In his home in
Thirteenth avenue, reported that while
Williamson was too sick to appear in
court, he was not too sick to have his
, testimony taken at his home.
Mr. McDermit, who said that Will
iamson was a vita) witness for Cor
bally, expressed the desire that the
Jury hear him, and it \vas decided that
if Mr. Williamson was too sick to r.n
.,... pear In court the deposition would be
taken at his home.
After detailing visits to various places.
Including chop suey “Joints." Corbally
said that there was "nothing doing"
and was asked:
“Was there any violation of the law?”
“No, sir.”
“Did you make a report to the chief?"
“yes. sir.”
On Saturday. March 10, Corbally and
Williamson went out together again
• when, witness said, he found Bock’s
New Century Hall all right and heard
a complaint from the man running 280
Washington street that the police were
hounding him.
“The chief,” Corbally added, "told me.
to go through all the concert halls and
find out if men in the audience were
. drinking with the actresses.”
Then came a tlat denial of all the
statements made by Bock, when that
former divekeeper on the witness stand
accused Corbally of having received
protection money.
He denied that there was ever any ;
conversation, as Bock had said, in
police headquarters or elsewhere. In
the course of which former Captain
Scriba, af*-r receiving money from
Bock, bad asked. “Tom, where do you i
come in?”
"Bock testified," Mr. Kalisch went I
on, “that he took another $50 bill from
his pocket and gave It to you. Did he
ever give you any money?"
• “No. sir.”
“Directly or indirectly?"
“No, sir.”
J,;‘ “Bock testified,” Mr. Kalisch went
on once more, "that he afterwards met
you in Broad street and said he was
' tired ot opening up and closing up and
promised $200 if you did not object to
his license. Ts that so?”
“I never had any such conversation
with him.”
Specific denials were made to all of
Bock's allegations concerning Corbally.
covering that of his gift of $200 to
Scriba.
“I don't know anything of Book's
giving Scriba $200,” the defendant also
said. “Scriba never told me that he
received $200.”
"Did Scrtha ever give you anything
on behalf of Bock?’
"He never did,’ was the emphatic
denial.
"Bock says he paid you *30 in Broad
* street; is that so?”
"He never gave me a cent in his
life.”
The same flat denials were made to
each and every one of the former dive
keepers allegations ns to dubious deal
' v ings with Corbally.
Testimony bearing upon the reputa
tion of the aroused officer took up
^ much of the time of the court and Jury
during the closing hours yesterday afl
ernoon. It was Introduced by tho de
't:l fensc to prove that Corbaly was an
honest and upright officer.
Among those who so testified were

As the day wore, on and the fog
became more dense strange phenomena
were noticeable., The appearance of
brown-stone buildings was changed to
resemble Indiana lime stone structures.

ROLL OF IODOFORM
GAUZE HALTS SPEED
Ambulance Surgeon Threw
Bandage in Animal’s Face as
It Menaced Crowd.
NEW YORK. Feb. 6.—This is not a
nature fake, but the tale of how a
man of expedient checked a runaway
horse by throwing a roll of iodoform
gauze against its nostrils just as it
was dashing toward a large crowd of
people at Third avenue and llgth street.
The fumes caused the horse to sneeze,
and then it was far easier than bor
rowing money from one’s mother-in
law to stop the animal before it did
any damage amid the crowd, panic
stricken by this time.
Dr. George Benrett, of the Harlem
Hospital, the man, deserves a Carnegie
hero medal for his quick wits and
action, declare his friends. Seated
in the rear of t^e ambulance, which
was being hurriedly driven to the
scene of an accident, Dr. Benrett saw
a heavy truck horse running wildly be
hind the ambulance. The animal’s
speed was unchecked, as U»e driver
trailed far In the rear, and as It
swerved toward the crowd Dr. Ben
rett realized he must act quickly to
prevent it dashing among the people.
An instant and the surgeon had
grabbed a roll of iodoform gauze from
his kit, then swung to the step of the
ambulance.
On charged the horse. Then, like a
lightning flash, from Dr. Benrett’s right
1 hand sped the roll of Iodoform-soaked
gauze.' Square against the eyes and
nostrils of the runaway fell the gauze.
The horse blinked, recoiled, and then
stopped to sneeze.
The rest was easy.

Panhandlers Made It a Ren*

“Touches.”
Captain of Police Ryan, of the Ifirst
Precinct, Is evidently determined to'
rid his bailiwick of all objectionable
places, for at 4 o'clock this morning
Policemen Gaffney arid Decker raided
the saloon of Thomas Coumans, at "il
Market street, in the locality known for
years as "Murderer's Row."
It was only n week ago that tlio po
lice made a descent on the place and
arrested the proprietor and charged
him with keeping a disorderly house.
At that time twenty or more suspicious
characters were chased from the sa
loon, and when Coumans was arraigned
before Judge Howell in'the First Crimi
nal Court, lie was placed under $1,000
bail. , , ,
This was not furnished, but Judge
Howell decided to parole the saloon
keeper on' his promise to rid his place
of the men who made their haunts
there. This Coumans promised to do.
Captain Ryan was informed that all
sorts of characters were again fre
quenting the saloon, and Policeman
Gaffney kept a watch on the place. He
found, so he says, that ■ panhandlers
would first visit the saloon and then
start out on their tour of begging, al
ways returning when, they had obtained
a good sum of money.
The weather »f last night.led fifteen
of them to the saloon. Uaffney noticed
that they were plying their trade in

was in charge of his bartender, Ed

rested with the rest of the inmates.
The inmates were arraigned this
morning before Judge Howell In the
First Criminal Court. One proved that
bo had a home and was allowed to go
while the others were sent to the coun
ty jail in default of a tlO fine.
O’Brien was discharged, but it waa
decided to arrest the proprietor. Po- i
liceman McDonald was sent out after .
Countans. When the saloon man was j
arraigned Judge Howell demanded that
he furnish $1,000 bail, the court declar
ing that he had broken his parole.
Coumans failed to furnish the neces
sary bond and was locked up.

Greetings front First Charge.
Edward C. Bridgeman, of Stapleton,
Staten Island, was present, having
been sent to represent the First Church
of Clifton, to which Dr. Frazer received
Ills first pastoral call forty-three years
ago. Mr. Bridgeman was formerly a
member of the First Church of New%
ark. He was received in the local
church more than a half century ago.
He . brought two letters from his
church; one was from the session and
the other from three members of the
church tn‘8taten Island who were con
nected with it when Dr. Frazer was
first called there.
The letter from the members is signed
by Mrs. Caroline ,T. Bridgeman, Eliza
MacDonald and Jane Edivards. In it
they say:
"We recall many pleasant thoughts
and experiences of those years: The
coming of the young pastor’s wife, of
those friends with whom we worked so
happily together, and tho many sweet
ahd tender recollections of our own
loved ones.
’’To quite an unusual degree, your
acquaintance with us has continued
during your ministry In other fields, and
you have united with us in our joys
and sorrows, and have beervable to take
part on special occasions connected
with our church, so it can certainly
and truthfully be said that you have
never forgotten your first love.”
The officials of the Staten Island
church in their letter to the members
of the local church, said in the letter
regarding Dr. Frazer:
' ”Ho began his work as minister of
Christ In our church in April, 1865, coin
ing with youthful strength and burning
zeal from the Union Theological Semi
nary of New’ York. • His work was
prospered and blessed.
“During tlie last years, whilo he has
ministered to other flocks, he has kept
his first charge constantly in ntind,
uniting with his old friends In their
I times of joy and sorrow, and has been
able to participate on special occa
sions in our church life, being present
at the laying of the corner-stone of our
new building, and the celebration of
our semi-centennial.”
The Rev. Dr. James M. Ludlow, of
i East Orange, who was a classmate of
i Dr. Frazer at Princeton, delivered an
! address on "David Frazer, the Mart.”
, The Rev. Dr. James I. Vance, pastor
of the North Reformed Church, spoke
• for the ministers of Newark. He said
! that Dr. Frazer was beloved by the
Newark ministry because of the dig
nity he gave to the pulpit, and be
cause ho “stood full square to all the
winds that blow.”
A resolution appropriate to t)ie oc
casion was read by the Rev. J. Web
ber, of the German Theological Semi
nary, of Bloomfield, on behalf of the
faculty and students of the seminary.
Dr. Frazer is president of the board

The Rev. Thomas F. O’Donnell, pas
tor of St. Paul’s Methodist Church,
brought greetings from the Methodist
Social Union of Newark.
Eulogised by 'Mayor.
In being introduced Mayor Haussling
said that he thought he had a right to
be in the pulpit of trie church, because
long years ago it was in tbe»pulpit of
tho church that many beneficial move
ments of a municipal nature started.
I The people owed to the First Church a
I debt it could never pay, he said. The
