District-Attorney Whitman, on. the stand, swore Inspector Murtha ‘had visited him at his home and had made a long state- ment, insisting that it be kept confidential. inspector Dwyer was in another room at the time. Whitman's detective, Thomas, swore the arranged the interview for Murtha, who had approached him, saying: “1. want inmmmunity, Can I see Judge Whitman?” Thomas testified that he heard Murtha say to Whitman, who told ‘him ‘he suspected him of a part in the plot: “I am willing to chip in, for Fux but I have done nothing for Sipp as yet.” Charlotte M. Murthner, a telephone girl at Rockaway, testi fied that she sent the records of “Hammel’s 652” (Hussey’s ‘phone) from Dec. 18 to Feb. 3 last to Inspector Hussey and had*not got them back. Her superintendent corroborated that the records were taken out of his possession. He was not allowed to tell how. Edward J. Newell, counsel for Sipp, testified. that he dis- cussed the “frame-up” of charges against Sipp with Inspector Hussey at Silsbe’s restaurant, Brooklyn, while the second bribe payment, of $950, was held up. He advised that It be paid. Hussey telephoned, then said: “Sipp will get the money.” He advised Sipp to “make Walsh pay his expenses” out of town, and corroborated Lawyer Rouss's story of passing the bribe in Jersey City. Lawyer Rouss was unshaken by cross-examination and added to his testimony that the bribe was not passed as “Fox's counsel fee.” The prosecution rested at 3.30 this afternoon. Two witnesses were called to court by District-Attorney Whitman to-day with the expectation that they would establish more clearly the connection of former Inspector James E. Hussey with the conspiracy to obstruct justice charged by the State against Hussey and his fellow ine on trial before Justice Seabury and a jury in the Supreme Court.
