BRIBERY TO ~ QUST CROKER Fire Chief's Counsel De- clares Witnesses Were Paid to Testify Against Accused Uniformed Head. TWO IN THE CONSPIRACY. Delaney Says He Will Prove Deputy Chief Purroy and Secretary Leary Plotted to This End. Hy , John J. Delaney, counsel for Fire hlef Croker, created a sensation dur- fng the examination of Deputy Chlef Charles D. Purroy by rising and say- ing: “I propose to show a conspiracy be- tween this witness, Deputy Chief Pur- Tey, and Secretary William Leary to Bribe witnesses to come here and testify @gainst Chiof Croker. “I not only promise this," declared Mr. Delaney, ‘but I will prove It be- yond a question of a doubt.” Commissioner Sturgis's face flushed anu he became greatly excited. The Commissioner had objected to Mr. De- laney's line of questioning Deputy Chief Purmy and this caused the outburst from Chief Croker’s counsel. “Let Him Prove It.’ If he can prove this," Interrupted Assistant Corporation Counsel Crosby,” ‘E would ‘suggest, Mr. Commissioner, that he te allowed to continue his a4 tions along this line.” * Although the trial had started in the Greatest good humor on both sides to- day, inimediately Deputy Chief Purroy took the stand Chlef Croker's counse! Began one of the most rigid cross-ex- ' @minations that has characterized the| trial. + After he had shown Deputy Chief j _ Purroy'’s lack of knowledge regarding fire hydrants in the vicinity of the ‘Wickes fire, he suddenly asked him: “Are you friendly to Chief Croker?" “I don't know,” answered the Deputy Chict. Are you hostile toward him?" “Not that 1 am awace of.” 4 “Were you not placed in command jwhen the Chief wen ton his vacation without bis recommendation?” “Yes.” € “Who took the lock off the Chief's @esk whilé he was away?” “Nobody that I know of. There was © private drawer put on by the pur- @hasing agent.” “Who entered the desk and took from it papers?’ “I have never taken any papers out.” s Shields Purroy. Commissioner Sturgis objected to this Hine of questioning, but on the advice of the Assistant Corporation Counsel re- @onsidered and permitted it to be con- | tinued, “Wh had ac to that desk?” “Everybody,” answered Deputy Chief Purroy. “What papers were taken out vy vou’" “My private papers and the records of the Department. nk: f “Did you or your driver take them i © ent’ wo ME aia “Did you have anything to do with the Preparation of these charges?" “Only what I was ordered to do?"y "Who ordered you?" | was so poor. jcellar three minutes previously and saw FIRE CHIEF CROKER’S SUBORDINATES TESTIFY AGAINST HIM AL HIS TRIAL.

Battalion Chief Ross, who made the report on this fire, described the extent) of the fire. On cross-exuwmination by Mr. Delaney the Battalion Chief made admissions which Mr. attempt to bring out. “What did you do when you got to the fire?” asked Mr. Delaney. “I ordered lines down through Thirty- first street,” replied the Chief. “And did you not also order the wa- ter tower down through the street, and was not the water tower crushed and an engine and five horses destroyed?” asked Mr. Délaney, ‘And you did not save the hose?” “That ts true.” Ran to Save His Life, “Was not Chief Croker standing near you putting on his boots and did he not have to run to save his life?’ “Yes; and the men and myself had to crawl out to save our lives.” “The Chief had not then taken com- mand, had he? asked Mr, Delaney.

He did not think tt was neces- sary to remove all the lines from the houre. “I wish to give notice now," sald Mr. Delaney, when the Chief was excused, “that the examination of Chief Purroy by the prosecution is clos 1 will exer, consent, to his recall if he is once allowed. to,leave, this room to consuit with others." “It is the design of the Corporation Counsel," Mr. Crosby replied, ‘to wait unt{I the defense has put in the evidence threatened and then to recall Chief Purroy.” “Purroy will never take the witness chalr again with my consent,” Mr, De- laney eald, “if he once has time to leave this building and confer with other people.” Byron D.
