The matter had never even been suggested to him. The witness was excused without any cross examina- tion, James Albert Webb, who was next called, had .been a provincial constable before Rossland was in- corporated and had been special ble at the International for four months prior to Chief Ingram taking office. There were a number of games running in the ,house at the time and once a raid was made by the police and then the fare and other games were closed. At the time of the raid, however, he had been told that the then proprietor, Mr. Manly, had been notified, and when the raid was made everything had been moved to another room. He, however, had had nothing to do with it. Since Mr. Klockman took charge the witness had never been told that he had to stand in with the police, nor had he any knowledge of any payments having been made to either the chief or Mitchell. When cross-examined by Mr. MacDonald, he reiterated that he knew of no corrupt acts on the part of the police. Afterwards he was recalled and stated that the understanding was that Mayor Scott had given the intimation about the raid at the International, as he was financially interested in the place.

The police comynissioners are now holding day and night sessions and the investigation was resumed this morning. 3 Alderman Clute!,was ‘the first witness called - by ‘the prosecution and he stated that +he was a” police commiessoner as well as aldermar. He could state, nothing concerning the present investigation in either capacity. He knew Marcus Moses and’ who ‘had told him in Nelson ‘|that he was staying away to avoid the investigation, or rather that he did not want to he a witness.

His expenses had not been more than covered by the amounts he had charged. He had had no special feelings of -hostility towards the chief. Re-examined: He had never had any conversation with the prosecution about the matter. William Harp, city assessor, the next witness called,'stated that the Chinese laundrymen had to pay $10 a year as a license fee. There had never been any money paid to him other than the regular fee. A China- man had, however, called upon him during the absence of the chief and the police magistrate at Halcyon Hot Springs, and he had been asked to receive $45 to square the gam- bling games. The Chinaman was afraid that if he did not pay the money he would be arrested. He (the witness) had promised to see the mayor and settle the matter. The Arlington 7 : THE LEADING HOTEL AT TRAIL. Headquarters for Commer- : cial Men....Splendid Sample Rooms. UNEXCELLED TABLE. Joun Haverty, Proprietor. The Chi "s name was Mah Hong and the mayor told him, when consulted, not to accept the money. The man had stated that this was the first time he had had anything to do with the payment of the money. This was the only time in who had been called as a witness, |, which he-had ever had any knowl- edge of money being offered to the { police, He had no knowledge of the chief having received money corruptly or of having been drunk. To the mayor: He had consulted with the commissioners about the taking of money and after consul- ting the city attorney, he had told him that it was not advisable for him to accept the money as it would not be evidence against the police force. Mr. Wilson Pyper, called by the commissioners, stated that he had been asked by Mr. Lawler to cash a check, and he had done so. He did not know what Mr. Lawler had done with the money, but he did know that Lawler had been released shortly after. The check was made in favor of James Lawler, and was signed by his wife. He knew noth- ing of his obtaining whisky while in jail. : To Mr. Macdonald: He knew that ‘Lawler had been locked up on many occasions in order to sober him up. He did not know much about the matter but had heard Lawler say that the police had given him something. Afterwards Law- ler had told him that the money he had given was ‘‘blood money.” He knew him well and was a neigh- bor of his, and nothing had been said about it being ‘tblood money” until the present investigation com- imenced. He declined to give any opinion as to Mr. Lawler’s sanity. Rev. D. D. Birks stated that Mr. Thomas Brownlee had told him that an intimation had been made to him that he would have to pay, for run- ning a slot'machine. Mr. Brown- lee had not stated to him that the -police had approached him about the matter. Cross-examined by Mr. Macdon- ald. He had no knowledge of who the man was who -had approached Mr. Brownlee, but he had a conver- tation with the chief on the matter and the chief had stated that if. arfy any one for money he would be promptly suspended. Sergeant McGowan, who called by the commissioners, had no personal knowledge of any money having been paid to either the chief or Mitchell, and had no knowledge of anything irregular being done by any member of the force. To Mr. MacNeill he said the mon- eys collected from the houses on Lincoln street had in some cases been collected without a warrant and the moneys had been paid into the police court without the parties appearing. He believed there had been last year some money collec- ted that was illegal. The magis- trate had collected $1 for costs but. he did not know what became of it. He had seen the chief under the in- fluence of liquor twice in the street. He knew nothing of any money being paid to any of the police offi- cers, He had heard rumors that Mitchell had been keeping a ‘‘fast’’ woman, but he never investigated the matter. He did not know where hell lived. He r bered the raids made on Chinese gambling houses. To Mr. Macdonald: When the houses were raided it was done un- der the sanction of the police magis- trate or of the police commissioners. He had not been in the habit of go- ing into Chinatown to inspect the gambling houses there. He was not now on friendly terms with was member of the force had approached’ (Continued on Fourth Page.)

NE1LTCHELL’S CASE GOES OVER. Another Adjournment Was Had Until ° Next Friday. The. case of the Queen vs. William Mitchell, on the charge of corrup- tion, was called today, but no prose- entor appeared. r. Beamish wanted to know who was going to prosecute the case. He added that he had been promised by Mr. John Kirkup that if the city did not desig- nate someone to prosecute,he would ask the provincial government to do so. Mr. Beamish said that while he had laid the information, he did not consider himself the prosecutor and thought it was the duty of the city or the government to look after the matter. Police Magistrate Boultbee continued the case to Fri- day morning next. A Small Fire Last Night. A fire alarm was turned in last night from the box at the corner of Second avenue and Washington street for a small fire that had started in a house on Spokane street, above Second avenue. Be- fore the department reached the scene the fire had been extinguished. The loss to Mrs. Cross, the owner of the place, was about $10, with no insurance.
