Under a long and gruelling cross-examination by the Magistrate and Justus Sheffield counsel for Caron, the policemen s0 successfully twisted themselves that Mr. Sheffield wanted to rest his case without putting in @ defense, The case was not finished this afternoon and will be resumed to-morrow morn- ing. Caron, Joseph Lariera and Philip Novik, the three remaining of the)| eight arreated, were scheduled for trial to-day. There was a small at-| about all the I, W.

They were off duty and just happened to bo there, they | said, on their way to the Union Square Theatre to see the show. From thetr testimony It appears that although the square was full of policemen and de- tectives they “butted in” at Fourteenth street and Fourth avenue and arrest- ed O'Carroll, who was, they claim, try- ling to start a parade without a permit.

Her ner- vousness was the result of reports thet an alientst had been called in to hear the testimony agatnat Dr. Price, There was no allenist present, members of the committee declared. “What did they ask yon this time?"

Eleven new indictments for grand larceny in the first degree and three others superseding those already found, were to-day filed against Henry Stogel and Frank E. Vogel by the Grand Jury. All these indict- ments were based on the obtaining of large sums of money from New York banks by means of fraudulent written statements regarding the financial condition of the Simpson- Crawford Company, the Fourteenth Street Store and the Henry Siegel Company of Boston. The original ball of $26,000 furnished by Blegel and ‘Vogel after the finding of the three original indictments was continued to cover the fourteen indictments found and returned to-day.
