THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY. JUNE 21, 1917. Pollock Declares. Moloney Not Interested In the Carbage Contract Lawyers Hint at Perjury in Police Probe by Council (Cvntlnued from Tare Four.) "No." "Did Maloney ever loan you any monev?" "He did not." "Is Maloney interested in garbage hauling?" "He is not." "Maloney ever go with you to any stores or places on garbage matter?" "He did not." "You have a garbage concession from the city." "Yes. District No. 2." "Where were you on afternoon of May 5?" "To an office of a man who took me at 2:30 p. m. to see five acres owned by Harvey Wolf on West Dodge street. Wolf was with me. We riturned at 5:30 p. m." This evidence relating to May 5 was offered to show that Harvey Wolf was not in the office of the Omaha Detective association be tween 2:30 and 5:30 on Saturday, May 5. In connecting Maloney with the Omaha Detective association, the prosecution, through Elsie Phelps, has claimed that Wolf was in his of fice on the afternoon of May 5; that Elsie PlTelps overheard the detective associatipn office girl telephone to Douglas 13 for "Steve:" that the phone rang and that the office girl told Wolf that "Steve" was on the ..line, i-nd that Mrs. Phelps spoke to "Steve" and that he wished her well on her Chadron trip. Not Steve Maloney. Mr. Pollock discredited the evi dence of Michael Paul, who testified that Maloney had induced him not to sue p railroad company for loss of limb. The witness said he believed Paul mistook a railroad claim agent for Steve Maloney. Thomas examined Pollock: "Yu know Honeywell?" "Yes." "Did you take Ills' oration to Tom Dennison?" "I did." "Was it a fine oration?" Pollock the Kaiser. "It gave Henry Pollock, Tom Den nison and the mayor a poor recom mendation. "Honeywell :.aid I' was the kaiser. Dennison was the (levil and the mayor a bad man. I really was ashamed of iwrsclf when 1 read that oration." "Don't you think that in 'the inter cut of posterity that the oration ihonld be brought in here?" "I do tKt think so." "Do von lhi'.iw Harvcv Wi1f?" "Ye, ,r".l 1 signed the bond of hi I detective ;ts,ociation." In the Oil Business, "What i vnnr business?" "('l I'll ic:.,:" ' "What c'se?" "..arhs:r.r." .''' "s that all?" "That N all." "Who did yon see a I ibe finni'lci -lore ahotii 1 lie liai'ivycr'' :i'.- I'lnn. luiow Sieve Malonc Sutton'8 Alleged Gift of Smokes Described Paul Sutton aroused merriment when he testified that W. R. Honey, well gave him and Officer Cunning ham a box of twenty-five cheap ci gars. Sutton said he smoked one of the alleged "Flora de Habanas" and gave the remainder to a street sweeper. Honeywell, who was the big fea ture last week, testified he gave Sutton $25 on or about December IS, 1916, and embellished the inci dent by stating that the money was "two tens and one five." Sutton uenied receiving any money from Honeywell or from any man or woman in the manner charged at the hearing. Uctei "Do -. "I .1,..' -r In "I .i cry iioh i'.iul then I so and visit hint."

"lie is running my old saleojt as a t-oft drink place." f "How did you napjjen to go to the city on a Sunday when they had draw ing for garbage districts?" "Dr. Council or Joe McDonald told me they would have the drawing." At'orney Thomas: "Were you ever arrested?" "Yes." . "Is it a fact that Steve Maloney marked 'no complaint' against your case?" - "Yes." ' "Did Sutton ever arrest you?" "1 should say not. Steve Maloney was the only man wdio ever arresWd rue. He thought I was connected with the Manhatten hotel, hut 1 wasn't." "Where is the Manhattan hotel?" "You probably know as much about it as I do." "Who ran the Manhattan hotel?" "Anton Adler." "Was he your bartender?" "Yes, he paid me $100 a month." Finn Intercedes. L. T. Finn, detective at Brandcis store?, testified he was asked by Menrv 1 ollock to intercede with Mr Phelps of the Brandeis restaurant for the garbage. Harry Carpentetv waiter at the Em pire cafe, corroborated the testimony ot Henry Pollock that Harvey Wolf wa at the hniptre cate on afternoon of Saturday, May 5. Witness recalled the occasion because at the time, he said, he referred to the state-wide dry law, which occurred on May 1. Attorney Thomas: "Are you at Sam Jo'e's place?" "Yes." "Isn't it a fact you are serving highballs there now?" "Only ginger ale." "Arc vou sure Wolf was there May 5?" "Yes, I remember that Dolan was there with . him." "How did you fix that particular date, May 5?" "Dolan asked me if I remembered the day and I recalled the occasion by change of my hours and by per sons who were at the cafe." "Did Wolf tell you he wanted this particular time fixed by you?" "He did not. Mr. Dolan asked me if I rememberer! the date. Attorney Rine: "You sai 1 something about reckon ing from the last day of May." "I meant the last day, when every body was celebrating." "You say there has been no liquor solrSthcre since May 1?" "'There has been none." Claim Agent on Stand. Samuel Peterson, claim agent of Union Pacific, testified that the only connection Steve Maloney had witit the case of Michael .'aul v. .s that on request he sent report of accident, as ibe police ambulance was called when Paul lost- his leg on the railroad tracks. Peterson testified he had no knowledge of Maloney asking Paul, to not push claim, against railroad company. Tells of Elsie Phelps. Fred Adkins, next witness, question ed by Attorney Baker: "Do vou know Elsie Phelps?" '-Kdu'." "How did you meet her?" "1 introduced myself." "Were you ever at 516 South Nine teenth street?" "Yes." "Ever see Elsei Phelps there?" ."I did." "Under what condition ?" Auorney Thomas: "Would it not be proper and orderly way to defer this line oi testimony until attcr msie Phelps has testified?" Attorney Baker: "But God knows when she will testify. This will tend to contradict Paul Sutton, who said he was not there." Contradicts Sutton. Baker resumed: "How many times did you see her there?" j "Three or four times " "Who else was there?" "Paul Sutton." Attorney Thomas objected, saying the witness was too swift -trT" an swering. "He is on high speed," replied Baker. Attorney Rine interposed and Baker said he would not mention Elsie, but would confine himself to Sutton. "Did you ever see Sutton at 516 South Nineteenth street?" asked Baker. 1 nomas ohiected and was sus tained by the mayor, who held it was agreed to defer this line of testimony until after Elsie Phelps has testified. Baker announced that he agreed to leave out Elsie at this time, but not Paul. Raker resumed; "You know the location of 516?" "Yes." "Ever at 514, upstairs?" "Yes." Commissioner Butler: "What is this, a vaudeville sliow or a trial?" Adkins was discharged. Didn't Hear .Talk. Fern Marr, ofhee girl of Omaha De tective association, was called by de fense to rebut the evidence that Ma lonev had a telephonic conversation w ith Harvey Wolf atihe association's office on the afternoon of May 5. She said she heard no part of con versation between Maloney and Wolf, made no 'phone connection with Ma loney for Wolf, nor was in her office after 1 p. m. on Satuday aftenoon in question. Attorney Baker: "Did you sec Elsie Phelps at the office on Monday, May If "And on Tuesday?" "I did." "Did you hear any telephonic con versation between anybody of your office and Steve Maloney?" "1 did not." "When did you leave your office that afternoon?" "At 1 p. m. "Who was with you?" "Met Anna McGuire."" "And then where did you go?" "I 'went window shopping and to the Empress theater. Attorney Thomas reached over for the Chadron transcript, whereupon Attorney Baker remarked: "Don't read Elsie; 1 don't care what else you read. Same as at Chadron. 1 Miss Marr's testimony was sub stantially the same she gave at Chad ron. where Elsie Phelps testified that Wolf, in her presence, spoke over telephone to "Steve" and that "Steve" wished her luck on her mission at ! Chadron. . Attorney Thomas: Miss Marr, bow do you fix the date of Saturday, May 5, so positively?" "Because it was the first Satur day that my friend was out after her illness." "Did you not slate at Chadron that you believed you were BlulTs on' the afternoon of May" 5?" "I was not sure of it." "You did not remember, when at Chadron, anything about your good friend just being out of a sick bed, did you?'" "My mind was not quite clear un til I had refreshed it on my return to Omaha."
