After Tux Stan's report closed the cross-examination of Mr. McLaughlin by Mr. Perry was continued. ‘Mr. McLaughlin testified that he considered the three cases of Nicolls, Townshend and Perry examples of favoriteism by Prof. Har- rington, and that the public service was ignored ¥ such retention. The retention of Townshend after he had got drunk and in view of his past record was where especial favoritiem had been shown him. Drinking, he explained, was especially acrime at the Pikes Peak station, where for considerable periods one man was leftalone on the peak with the station work en- | tirely dependent upon him. Witness thought Prof. Harrington showed especial favor to Nichols because of Mr. Rockwood and for ‘Townshend because of Capt. Townshend, who had been especially loyal to the chief. ' This started Mr. Perry on another tack and he wanted to know if ther® wus any question of loyalty in the office. Mr. McLaughlin said there was talk and the chiefs exercised an expionage over letters coming from the signal ‘Witness testified that personally he had been loyal to the civilizn organization. ‘THE CRANE AND NICHOLS CASES. Perry then brought out that Mr. Me- Laughlin bad little ground for making the charges in relation to Crane other than suppo- sition, ‘The examination extended at length as | report the facts to Prof. Harrington. Mr. Me- Laughlin answered in substance that he was ssured Prof. Harrington knew all the circum- stances. He had never received any orders, written or otherwise, taking the Nichols case from bis hands. Mr. Perry then recounted the steps and tried to find why. as the two applications for promo- tion came from Crane, and as witness’ sus cions that something was wrong grew strong: he did not then report the matter to Prof. Hat Tington, but Mr. McLaughlin made evasive answers, THE CASE OF TOWNSEEND. |” The eross-examination then branched off to | Titus Townshend. that he understood that young Townshend had | performed a heroie ab: ing to bi | jost during the yeliow fever epidemic.
