POLICEMAN HARRY MORTON ON TRIAL FOR PERJURY Assist. Dist. Attorney Ely Tells of Morton's Alleged Efforts to Defeat Justice. "ALL TELL THE SAME STORY." Gerdron, Mr. Ely Declares, Could Not Have Spoken a Sentence in English.

The trial of Patrolman Harry Morton, on the charge of perjury' in testifying at the trial of eBrtha, Claiche. wos continued before Justice Scott and a jury in the criminal branch of the Supreme Court, Manhattan, to-day. began yesterday, the entire first day being required for securing the jury. Assistant District Attorney Ely, the the jury as soon as the session prosecutor, made his opening addresita. He said that the defendant had made false statement as a witness in the Claiche trial, this testimony relating to material facts in that trial.

Morton, Mr. Ely, testified that he did not know making an illegal arrest when he Mars rested Emil Gerdon, the girl's lover, on the night when Gerdron was shot by Bertha. But the defendant well knew. Mr. Ely declared, that he was making an illegal arrest, for a misdemeanor, when he had no warrant and had not seen the offense committed.

"We will show you," said the prosecutor, "that this meeting between Gerdron and Bertha Cliche arranged by this defendant, who was 011 terms of the greatest intimacy with the girl. While Gerdron was under arrest with a police officer on each side he was shot down in his tracks by the woman." Mr. Ely declared that when Morton testified he heard Gerdron say, "If you have me pinched, I'll kill you when I get out," he was knowingly testifying falsely, and that Gerdron had made no such remark, as he could not speak English. The expression, moreover, Mr. Ely said, had been coined to provide a defense for the woman.

He said that Morton told Bertha after her arrest not to worry, that he would get counsel for her and get her out of the trouole. "He got himself letailed to the District Attorney's office, 90 that he could carry out his purpose," said Mr. Ely. "We will show that the defendant Morton, after the arrest of the Claiche woman, has said, 'If we all stand together and tell the same story she will beat it, for no jury would convict a woman for shooting a man like Mr. Ely said that the prosecution would show that the defendant's testimony in the Claiche trial was false in other particulars in his efforts to shield the woman.

Morton had denied that he had any conversation with the woman, but Mr. Ely said the prosecution would show that immediately after the shooting the girl cried out, "Harry, Harry, what shall I do?" and the defendant said to her, "Keep your head shut and I will get you out." He said he would also show that letters from Bertha Claiche were received by the defendant while she was a in the Tombs. The prosecution would also show that Morton had testified falsely as to his assignment as a police officer on the night of the shooting. The first witness called by the prosecution was Chief Clerk Penny, of the court, who testified to the fast that the Claiche trial had been held before Justice Davis, that Morton was a witness and that the girl eventually pleaded Fulliar to manslaughter. Stenographer Bartholomew Moynahan was then called.

He testifled by reference to his notes portions of the testimony of Morton given at the trial of the Cliche woman. RAID ON FISH STANDS. Captain 0'Reilly Determined to Stop Cooking in the Streets-Law Being Violated. The proprietors of a dozen fish and oyster stands on Broadway and streets adjacent thereto were served ith summonses to-day to appear in the Gates avenue court and explain by what authority they conduct their business. Captain Miles O'Reilly, who procured the summonses, is of the opinion that most, if not all, of the stands are doing business in direct violation of the Sanitary Code.

It such is found to be the case, he will endeavor to close each and every place which does not comply with the law. On Thursday last, Peter Vehis, aged 34, a Greek, who stated that he was going to open a candy stand where he would sell soda water and fruit, within half a block of the station house, was summoned to the Gates avenue police court by the captain and, after a warning that he was not to sell fish, was discharged by Magistrate Furlong. Saturday afternoon, when returning from the ball game at Halsey street and Broadway, the captain found the Greek had opened his stand and that he was selling fried fish at a lively rate. Oficer Wagner was summoned and Vehis was placed under arrest. The stand was closed by the captain and the burning gas turned off.

Two hours later Wagner found another Greek at the stand, and he too was selling fish. This man was also gathered in. In the Gates avenue court on Sunday morning, both men were admitted $200 bail each for examination June 22, charged with having violated the Sanitary Code. All the fish stores which formerly fried fish on the sidewalk along Broadway on do their cooking inside a the stores, and Saturday nights have been compelled to Captain O'Reilly has come to the conclusion that these men can also be compelled to conduct their business in a store. "These stands are a direct violation of the law." said the captain, "and we will do all in our power to exterminate them from this precinct.

The smell of the hot grease, which permeates the air for blocks from these stands, is obnoxious and nauseating. Many persons have been made ill from it, and I do not propose to have it continue. "We have also found out that a number of these stands are operated under a license issued for a fruit stand. This kind of a permit does not give these men the permission to fry fish and sell it. We intend to summon every one of them before Magistrate Furlong, and then if they continue to violate the law there will be some of them go down again without a warrant." SAYS CONROY WAS UNGALLANT Florence Boock Causes Arrest cf Young Man She Accuses of Jilting Her.

Harry Conroy, 23 years of age, of 364 Eleventh street, was arraigned before Magistrate Tighe, In l'ae Butler street court, this morning. on complaint of Florence Boock, of 126 First place. Miso Boock, who is about 20 years old, said Conroy had been introduced to her in January, and shortly thereafter asked her to marry him. but that he had suddenly ceased his attentions to her. She had cor.

roborative evidence in the testimony of Anna De Jarlais, of 320 Twelfta street. Conroy pleaded not guilty and was sent to jail in default of $600 bail, pending examination on June 15. 1906. PLAN 9 IS APPROVED BY COURT COMMISSION It Involves Expending 000 in Brooklyn for Subway System. A COMPLETE WORK IN 4 YEARS Formal Report Will Be an Interesting Document--Eastern District: Is Not Neglected, One of the most important contributions to the literature of real rapid transit in this is contained in the report of the commission appointed by the Appellate Division in this judicial department to pass on the advisability of plan 9, which will come before the court for confirmation on June 18.

The commissioners are H. B. Ketcham. E. S.

Fowler and Rudolph Block. They recommended that the plan as proposed be adopted. As its use means a great deal of tunnel work on the Heights citizens of that section, mindful of some Joralemon street, are preparing to oppose the confirmation of the report. The plan as proposed involves the expenditure of eleven million dollars on about five miles of tunnel work in Manhattan and of twenty-five million dollars on fourteen miles in Brooklyn. If started now the work could be finished in four years.

Under the river the tunnels will be twostructures, while in Manhattan and Brooklyn as a general thing, provision will be made for a four track system. Notwithstanding the opposition to An elevated structure on Delancey street, which has been recently manifested, confirmation of the commissioners' report on Plan 9 would appear to provide for such construction. One route in the plan begins at foot of Broadway, Brooklyn, runs over the Williamsburg bridge, "over and along Delancey street to a point near Norfolk street," and thence under the Bowery, Walker and Centre streets, to the Brooklyn Bridge. Many spur connections are. made in Manhattan.

Another route runs from William and Beekman streets in Manhattan to Old Slip to a point in Fulton street, between Pineapple and Clarke. A diversion is also made at Old Slip by which a subway is run from that point also to Montague and Court. Connections with the existing subways at Borough Hall are also provided. town lines from Bedford and Lafayette avenues to Heywood street, and the Willlamsburg Bridge plaza, with a spur on Broadway at Lafayette are taken care of in this comprehensive scheme. The testimony of Chief Engineer George S.

Rice of the Rapid Transit Commission as given before the commission is interesting and important. He reiterated in the strongest manner what he has already a said about the alleged defects in the Joralemon street tunnel, and was positive that the structure would be ready for operation and in excellent condition on January 1. Many improvements will be made in the new subways over the style of construction and operation on the old one; for instance, the use of steel columns is dispensed with in the new system. Instead, two separate tubes of masonry, incasing substantial steel construetion, will be used. Mr.

Rice pointed out in his testimony that in case of accident in the tunnel moving cars are more likely to be shattered and splintered on iron columns than they would be on a solid wall. In the two-tube system one will be used for express and local trains going east, and the other for express and local trains going west. More space, both upward and sideward, is provided in the Brooklyn scheme of tunnel construction. This will permit the possibility of jacking up a derailed train, which it seems is a somewhat difficult job In the existing structure in Manhattan. When the Manhattan subway was built the piston theory of ventilation was adopted.

That means that one train preceding another would draw out the germladen air, this proceeding all the way to the point of beginning, at which new and fresh supply would follow every starting train. The engineers in that case forgot that trains ran both ways in the same tube, and as a consequence the air -action in the Manhattan subway 1s not pistonlike, but cyclonic. According to Mr. Rice ten car express trains can be run in the Brooklyn, subway, and they can be run at the rate of thirtyfive miles an hour. "If it were not for the conditions prevailing at the Bridge." said Mr.

Rice in his testimony, "I would live In Brooklyn myself, but I wouldn't subject my family to such conditions." POLICEMEN ON TRIAL. Kotteman Had Italian Saloonkeeper to Testify on His Behalf--Tony Has Nerves. Officer Frederick E. Kotteman, attached to the Sixty-fifth precinct. was up on three charges before Deputy Police Commissioner O'Keeffe this morning.

He was charged by Roundsman John Rooney with being off post, and with dancing with a male companion in the saloon of Tony Agrosini. at 332 Saratoga avenue. The roundsman testified that he had looked into the saloon, at about 10:30 P.M. and had seen the officer dancing a waltz with a man, while another played a piano. Kotteman came out, and denied that he had been dancing, saying that he had been in a scrimmage.

The policeman had eight witnesses to help him out in his story. One was the proprietor of the saloon where Kotteman wag found, Tony Agrosini. He was asked why there was piano playing after an alleged scrimmage. was very nervous and didn't know what to do with myself, and it was to quiet my nerves," he replied. And a smile went around the court room.

The commissioner reserved decision. Patrolman Patrick McGrane, of the Sixty-second precinct, was. fined one day's pay for being off Avery B. Wells, of the Fifty-fifth precinct, was fined five days' pay for being absent without leave: John D. M.

Trussen, of the Sixty-fourth precinct, was fined five days' pay for being absent without leave; Patrick Cotter, of the Sixty -ninth precinct, was fined 3 days' pay for being off post, and George W. Hart, of the Sixtieth precinct, was fined ten days' pay for being absent from post. FOR HIS MOTHER'S BURIAL. Murdered Woman's Son Applies in Station Cell for Authority to Collect Life Insurance. In the prisoner's pen, in the Manhattan avenue court, this morning, there was EL pathetic scene, when Louis Stang, a stepson of Mrs.

May Offer, who was shot by her husband, Ferdinand, Saturday night, at their home, 218 Stagg street, came there to ask the prisoner to sign over the woman's insurance papers, that he might obtain money enough to give his mother's body a decent burial. Only a few moments before Offer had been held without bail for examination on the charge of having killed his wife. Her funeral is to be held to-morrow morning, but there was no money with which to pay the expenses. The insurance policy on the woman's lite was drawn in her husband's name. Offer agreed to let the step-son have the money to pay for his wife's funeral.

ITALIAN INSULTED LITTLE GIRLS ON PIER Railed at Life. Saver Who Interfered and Drew a Big Revolver on Him. CROWD THUMPED OFFENDER. Then Policeman Arrested Him and the Prisoner Was Held Without Bail by Magistrate. Frank Sangio, an Italian, 32 years old, of 257 North Seventh street, was mobbed by an excited crowd of men and women last night, after he had been detected in the act of -insulting several small children on the recreation pier at the foot of Metropolitan avenue.

The Italian was armed with a loaded revolver, which he had discharged at the beginning of his flight. He was knocked 'down when overtaken and severely handled. He claims that during this he was robbed of $14 in cash and his watch and chain. Sangio had been noticed loitering about the pier for several nights past, and that his actions toward groups of small children were rather suspicious. It wa's not until Annie and Mamie Reddie, 9 and 11 years old, respectively, of 52 North First street, complained to Charles Redigan, a life saver stationed at the pier and living at 66 Rose street.

Manhattan, that the actions of the Italian became known. Redigan decided to watch the man, and when Sangio put in an appearance again last night and approached the two sisters and the smaller uttered a shrill cry, the life saver steppod up. The Italian had roughly grabbed the child by the arm, causing a severe bruise, and as Redigan ordered him to leave the pier Sangio became abusive and shoved his hands in the pockets of his coat. Redigan suspected the Italian was armed. The life saver fortunately had an empty soda water bottle In one of his pockets, which he carried for his own protection.

Sangio used foul expressions as he walked away and as he suddenly turned Redigan caught sight of gleaming revolver in the hand the Italian as he suddenly drew it from his coat pocket. The fact that Redigan acted quickly was the only thing that saved him from receiving a bullet in his body. When he caught sight of the gleam he swung tho bottle and as it struck the Italian on the side of the head he reached out with the other band and swept the revolver aside just as it was discharged. The end of the muzzle was forced between the Angers of his left hand, and as it was discharged he was burned on one of the lingers by the powder. the shot, Sangio darted up Metropolitan Without waiting a to see the result of avenue and turned into Kent avenue.

He ran to North Seventh street, into which he turned with a howling mob of men, women and boys in close pursuit. While running through North Seventh street he caught sight of Poltemau Hard of the Bedford avenue station and the fugitive turned into Berry street. The policeman suspected something was wrong and joined in the chase, but the Italian was overtaken by a crowd of men, who headed him off. fugitive was knocked down and while be was being thumped and kicked some one managed to relieve him of his money and watch. Policeman Harff was compelled to use his club on the Italian's assailants and then call for the reserves in order to properly protect his prisoner from the rage of the mob.

When taken to the station house, the loaded revolver with one empty shell was found in his possession. He was charged with carrying concealed weapons and an additional charge of felonious assault was made by Redigan, The latter was on hand in the Lee avenue court when Sangio was arraigned. The policeman also had the two children present, who identified the Italian. After hearing the circumstances, Magistrate Furlong remanded the Italian without bail until Thursday. WOMAN ACCUSES A NEGRO.

Martha Smith, 23 years old, who said her home was in Newark, N. and William Thompson, a negro, 27 years old, of West Third street, Coney Island, were sent to the penitentiary for six months by Magistrate Voorhees, in the Coney Island Police Court to-day. The negro was charged with abduction and the woman with vagrancy. According to the story told by the police of the Coney Island station, Thompson brought the Smith woman from Newark to Coney land to live with her, and, according to Patrolman Fitzgerald, he compelled her to lead an immoral life.

All Republicans in an Assembly District Will Vote for Their Leader Hereafter. After herculean labors with the 1 hierarchy of Republican leaders ex-Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff was almost tearfully forced to confess to-day that the hopes of the reformers, who sought to rehabilitate the old machine by direct nominations, had been dashed, and that for the present at least the good old system of a nominating conventions must be continued. concession the reformers is granted, with new rule to be adopted tonight by the county committee, which will provide for the election of the Assembly district leaders by all the Republicans of the district. "Mr.

Blackmar prepared a bill, providing for direct nominations," Mr. Woodruff said, and I had it introduced at Albany. Every member of the committee to which it was referred wrote me that he could not vote for it. What could I do. I couldn't force these gentlemen against their own inclinations and desires.

Judge Brenner, Mr. Campbell and other good lawyers here tell me that we cannot amend our bylaws to provide the changes necessary to be brought about for the Introduction of the system." Mr. Wocdruff explained that the reformers would not accept direct nominations' unless with a blanket ballot. The use of such a ballot meant that the names of the candidates to be voted for must be marked with a cross. But the primary law forbids any mark on a ballot.

Consequently Mr. Woodruff could do nothing to help the reformers. Colonel Dady told Mr. Woodruff these things a couple of months ago in the County Committee, but the county leader could not be convinced then that the colonel was right. While Mr.

Woodruff may not need to do any explaining to Colonel Dady, he will have the a job of his life in telling the reformers how it happened. For instance, the Young Republican Club met last night and adopted this resolution: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the plan proposed by the chairman of the Committee of Sixty -three to the Republican County Committee for the purpose of putting the system of direct nominations in practice at the coming primaries be approved, and that the County Committee be notified of our action." From what the district leaders said today, it was apparent that at no time could the assent of a majority be obtained to the introduction of the direct nomination scheme. STABBED IN THE STOMACH. James Gilmore Received a Horrible Wound in a Gang Fight and Will Probably Die. With a stab wound in his abdomen which had laid open the intestines, and which, it is feared, will prove fatal, James Gilmore, 25 years old, a brick handler, employed at Haverstraw, N.

walked into Bellevue Hospital, Manhattan, early this morning, supported by his father, James, 332 East Thirty -eighth street. He wag taken to a surgical ward, and the operation of laparotomy, of opening and sewing up the slashed intestines, will be made, in the faint hope of saving his life, Gilmore refuses to tell any one, even his father, who stabbed him. He admits only that he received the wound in a fight in a saloon in East Forty-first street, between Second and Third avenues. The police of the East Thirty-fifth street tion, notified by the hospital authorities, made investigation, and arrested John Welsh, 21 years old, a driver, of 227 East Forty-third street, as a suspicious person. When Welsh was taken to Gilmore's bedside, the wounded man said that the prisoner was in the party engaged in the fight, but he would say no more.

Welsh was equally silent. Gilmore refuses to give the police any information to help them. no Carey," he said, using the name of the Fenlan informer as his most omphatic synonym for a "quealer." "I'll fix him when I get out of here." But the surgeons say Gilmore is not likely to get out of Bellevue, except through the Morgue, and that his revenge will have to be wreaked by his friends, It at all, Gilmore works in Haverstraw, and comes home once a month, on pay days. He came home last night, with his month's wages, and went out with the "gang." Several members of this gang, including Gilmore himself, have long been the subjects of attention by the police. METZ AFTER PARK AT CONEY.

Would Establish There One for Convalescents if Private Charities Will Make Terms Reasonable. Before any definite action is taken on the seaside park and convalescent home plan, Controller Metz is going to use effort to have a hard and fast every agreement with the charitable institutions which now maintain such homes, wherethey shall turn their porperties over by to the city 'in exchange for privileges in the city park. There are several of these seaside homes at Coney Island, and Mr. Metz believes that a very good seaside park could be laid out there, if the private institutions would turn their holdings over to the city, and then the city to acquire more propetry in the section and lay out a park. It is pointed out that the amusement business at Coney Island is reaching out toward the Sea Gate section of the island near to which the seaside homes are now located.

If the city should take the property the advance in that direction would be stopped. One argument put forward in favor of the Cone" Island site is that it is close to the city, and the fare is low. "I want a place that is going to be of benefit to the poor people, the mothers and children," said Controller Metz this morning. "I don't want any place that is going to be convenient for the city officials and secretaries of charitable societies to go in automobiles and have a week end. That is all very nice, but I don't think the city should pay for such things." HELD FOR SECOND HOMICIDE.

John Kilbride, of Ninety-second street, Fort Hamilton, who is charged with the shooting and killing on the night of June 4, of John Kelly, at the home of John Keller, was arraigned before Magistrate Voorhees, in Coney Island police court, today, on the second charge of homicide, resulting from the death, yesterday, In the hospital, of Mary Kelley, whom he also shot, after shooting her husband. Kilbride pleaded not guilty and was held for examination on both charges June 20, to await the coroner's inquest. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS.

Frank J. Freel told him he preferred to live in a flat to his mother's home, Dr. John L. Macumber, insanity expert and friend of Freel, an sensational testimony before County gave Crane this morning in the contest Judge that Mrs. Freel and McCleery, the testator's mother and sister, are making the will of Freel, which left his enover tire estate to his valet, "Patsy" Colbert.

One of the reasons, Dr. Macumber said Freel told him, for the estrangement between himself and his mother was because, when his brother Ed was dying in a hospital, he asked his mother to go and see her dying son and she refused to do so. Dr. Macumber's testimony was listened to this morning by a large number of spectators, friends of the Freel family and acquaintances of the late Edward Freel, who in his lifetime made hundreds of thousands of dollars as a contractor. The estate at present is estimated to amount to nearly, if not quite, $2.000.000.

Dr. Macumber's testimony this morning was given from his acquaintance with the testator of about fifteen years, he said. Prior to three years ago he had met the testator a number of times each year, and in 1902 he had treated him professionally. In Dr. Macumber's opinion, Dr.

Freel was rational during all his acquaintance with him. He had seen him exhilarated by drink, but never drunk, he said. Dr. Macumber sald he had often urged Freel to leave the Tompkins avenue flat and go back to his mother's home, but Dr. Freel refused, giving as a reason.

the witness said, his estrangement from his family because of the treatment he got there. Lights were ordered out at 10 o'clock, Dr. Macumber said Dr. Freel told him, and he was treated much like a school boy by his mother at her home. Dr.

Macumber then told of his conversation with Dr. Freel about the death of Edward Freel, the brother. LEGAL NOTICES.
