The trial of deposed Police Inspector Cornelius G. Hayes for “making a false official statement" came-to its end at 3.20 this afternoon, after the inspectors of the department, one after another, had taken the stand in behalf of their Commissioner and against their former fellow-officlal, With the exception of Inspector Grant, who was absent, the Inspectors testified they never had re- ceived orders not to enter disorderly houses to procure evidence. When the last of the inspectors had descended, red-faced, from the stand, Commissioner Waldo closed his case. Hay®®had no more witnesses to offer and both aides agreed to dispense with summing up. Deputy Commissioner McKay, sitting as Judge, reserved de- cision, Lieut. “Honest Dan" Costigan of the Central Office Squad and Capt. William Day of the West Forty-seventh street Police station both flatly contradicied the testimony of Commissioner Waldo when they were called to the witness stand, Lieut. Costigan denied that he ever knew his business was to “check up” on the activity of the Inspectors in the sup. pression of disorderly houses, or that he had ever received orders to do so from the Commissioner, Waldo on the stand had clted the fact that Costigan and other heads of the Central Office squats had mae arrests in Hayes's district in proof of his assertion that such was the business of Costigan and his confreres, Costigan also dechired emphatically that his orders did not permit him to enter a disorderly house except on spe- cific complaint forwarded him by Com- missloner Wallo, DAY TELLS OF INQUIRY INTO COMPLAINTS AFTER RAIDs. Capt, Day refuted the testimony given last week by the Commissioner in one tant detail, Waldo had sald that plaint was brought to his hat raids had been made on three ent houses in Hayes's district— the Robesplerre, the Marlborough and the Gotham—"“for the sake of graft,” he had questioned Hayes about them, was satisfied and had made no further in- vestigation. Capt. Day testified that, following these raids, Commissioner Waldo had asked him to deliver to Headquarters the letters from Father Delaney and Father Daly complaining of the three houses in question, and had asked him questions « Three ser old dln. trict—Ray, Wall and Higgins—added weight to Hayes's contention that he kept hands off the disorderly houses at Waldo's orders by testifying that u ed them not to enter such %, saying that auch were Waldo's es orde Assistant Corporation Couns! 2 e Farley completed his examination of Hayes, the demoted in- spector unexpectedly put @ match to a bomb, Hayes, stolid, unmoved, had | been giving blunt, unconsidered an tu the questions fred at him for nearly an hour, Then came this one from Mr. Parley: “When you were summoned before (Conunued on Fourth Page.) —>—— QUEEN MAPY OPPOSED TO KING GOING TO RACES?

BUCKNER STRIKES A SNAG IN GENERAL QUESTIONS “I Don’t Run the Does,” Says Gaynor; Police; Waldo “He’s as Honest as Fosdick. Mayor Gaynor, in his usual abrupt way of doing things, suddenly appeared before the Aldermanic Investigating Commitee at a few min- utes after 2 o'clock this afternoon. The Mayor was sarcastic at the start. He asked for ice water pe suggested that it be used by the members of the committee. Then he set- tled himself in the chair reserved for witnesses. It was plain that he was primed chock full of dynamite, and as Mr. Buckner, counsel for the Committee proceeded with his questions, there were frequent sharp and violent explosions which came in the form of forcible and snappy replies. The Mayor vigorously defended Waldo. He regretted that the Com- missioner had been deceived by a subordinate who “once had been a good policeman.” His Honor said that Waldo and not he ran the Police Department and ran it without the influence of politicians, “No Sam Koenig or Char- ley Murphy can influence Waldo,” said he. Then the Mayor gave his views on excise and the social evil. He reiterated on those subjects much that he has said in letters.and |public speeches. The gist of his remarks was that the more freedom po- \licemen are allowed in procuring evidence against saloons and disorderly houses the more opportunities they have for graft. Emory Buckner, counsel for the committee, attempted to pin the Mayor down to specific information as to his knowledge of the betters ment of conditions in the city in respect of excise and the social evil, The Mayor gave exhaustive answers and much Information, but he didn’t give what the lawyer was trying to get. It was the general opinion that the Mayor came out of the examina- tion with flying colors from the standpoint of making good on his own position, Mr, Buckner treated the Mayor with the utmost respect. Not a member of the committee ventured to ask the Mayor a question. After His Honor got warmed up he carried things along about as he wanted them to be carried and took a fling occasionally at the rag tag Newspapers and editors, He was not afraid to express his views, but he refused to give the committee any advice. Mr. Buckner, counsel to the commit- tee, in addressing the Mayor, said: “The committee ts desirous of ob- taining some information concerning the administration policy of the Mayor in relation to the Police Department. In order to facilitate the inquiry we would Ike to know in @ general way what method the Mayor has employed during his administration of keeping in touch with the administration of the Policé Department.” Mayor Quynor satd nothing. Then Mr. Buckner plunged into his que tioning and soon encountered a # Mayor Gaynor refused to answer que tions that did not suit him, He would not reply to inquiries as to what he thought or surmised and he was not voluminous in hia statements as to what he has done, HE KEPT TRACK OF POLICE IN SEVERAL WAYS. Mayor Gaynor in answer to ques tions said he kept track of the Police Department through letters, reports and oral reports from the Commissioner, ‘The records were open, he suid, to the committee or anybody else, He knew of no other way of keeping truck of ' things than through reports from or conversation with the Comminsioner, More queations made the Mayor testy. They were of a general character, “Lam here to ive facts and infor mation,” sald the Mayor, “I understand you had no way of getting information about the Police Department except by conversations land an occasional letter,” sald Mr Buckner. “If you understand this way say 90," replied the Mayor, “I don’t say xo. The Mayor became angry and de- clared he knew nothing about It, “Don't you run the Police Depart- enapped, raising hie voice, by Commissioner Waldo." “Don't you look after it? “Yom, I have eyes and ears, hands and feet, and, gentlemen, I use them all!" he fairly shouted, The Mayor anid he had never on dered the Commissioner of Accounts to make an investigation of the Police Department. Mr. Buckner then re- ferred to the inquiry of two years ago made by Commisstoner of Ao counts Fosdick at the suggestion of Acting Mayor Mitchell during the ab- senoe of the Mayor from the city. Tho Mayor refused to discuns it. “I have just as much confidence Commissioner Waldo as in the aa missioner of Accounts,” said the May. or. “Me hae my entire confidence and is s thoroughly honest man.” “But the Commissioner might be de- gelved by his eubordinates,”” suswested “Tt ts vom “Mr. Buckner, “I don't know what you're arivind *t,” said the Mayor, “I came here t@ 61ve facts and information.” Mr, Buckner then referred to the resignation of First Deputy Bugher, Mayor Gaynor sald he recalled that Bugher had worried the itfe out of him trying to be appointed Commissioner. Mr. Buokner read Bugher’s letter of resignation, The Mayor said he received “Did you investi, that letter?” wt of that letter was untruc.”* “Did you tell Fosdick to investigate that letter to see if It was true? “I knew tt was not true," sald the Mayor, “When I came in I found @ demoralized force. The decent people _ of the community will not forget whee T have done.” “Ia your system in-&eeping In touch with the police now as before the Bugher letter?” “What system?
