Justice Cohelan glanced eccasionany at Connolly while the witness went through his testimony. Connolly sel- dom faltered. He had told the story many times before, and Deputy Attor- ney-General Kelloxg, who conducted examination, followed the lines of evi- dence as spread by Connolly on the rec- ords of the Grievance Committee of Bar Association. Justice Cohalan’s attorneys gave out the answer of the accused jurist, which eral denial of the charges. that there is any crime, misdemeanor or offense generally or partioularly alleged in the aforesaid charges to which he is or can be bound by law to make anewer, The Justice further denies the spe- cific allegations against him and asks that the oh The accusation against Judge Co- halan is, in bi lawyer, Tammany Hall, based upon f1 with Charles F.

HOW THE SCENE 18 LAID FOR WITN {8 AND SPECTATORS. For the purposes of the Cohalan in- quiry all the desks used by the mem- bers of the Senate have been taken from their places in the chamber and ranged along the walls. In front of the high leak of the President of the Senate and the space reserved for the clerks, a platform has ben structed on which tables and chaire have been placed for the members of the joint judiciary com. mittes, 9 The witness chair, a massive seat of oak and leather, is mounted on a plat- form covered with faded red plush, placed at the foot of the table reserved for Justice Cohalan and his counsel. Six feet away from the Cohalan tal ip another for the use of counsel for the Bar Association and @ amall army of ole and assistants, Justice Cohalan and his counsel were in the Senate Chamber to-day ready for the beginning of the proceedings long before any of the Senators and Assem- blymen comprising the joint committee had appeared. The defendant Justice was calm and determined as ever, but vale and rather thin as @ result of his eceat Iiness, In the per- morning attire.

Deputy Attorney-General Joseph A.
