ALLIES ARE PREPARED
DEFECTIVE CAPTAIN SEEKS TO SHOW
McNICHOL MEN "FRAMED" THUGGERY
THEIR TESTIMONY CONFLICTING
'NEW TORK, Oct. 10.
The Herald today prints Slit following:
"Tim United States Government Is mo-mentnrllj-
expecting cable messages which
will relato to a naval operation of trans
cendetu magnitude In or near the North
ttea one of such Importance that the whole
aspect of the war tnay be changed. That
Is the Information that has come , the
Herald from a high and unquestionable
authority.
There Is reason to believe that the
long expected "desperation move" by Ger
many has been started and that It Is being
resisted with all the power that the great
fleets of the Allies can bring Into pUy.
"The American, llrltlsh. French and Ital
ian naval forces aie fully alle tr the world
Importance of the operation now In progress.
"At this time, when olllclal news has not
been receded. It Ih Impossible for the Herald
to state t'M thc.ileiman grand tleet. which
has beer In course ot preparation since the
war ocean for a final engagement with the
Allffs. has left Its baso to give battle to the
Allies. N'or Is It possible to slate that the
Allied fleet has driven 'the rat from Us
hole'
But It l. possible to slate, upon the Infor
mation In hand, that a grave matter of the
utmost l'imortatice--one that may change
the aspect of the whole war -Is occurring.
VrVHl'strategists hae expected one of
two s UiMlizltiR that her submarine
can or frlKhtfnli't-ss was falling, tier-
lnft , 1,-cn expected to send out fast
crin i In the hope of S' It ins some of them
by the blockading fleet and then attack all
iiierclMiii and transport shipping that can
be found. The alternate move by Ret many,
s anticipated by the Allied stvateglts,
would be to send out her grand fleet for a
final battle with the Allies."

Imported New York gunmen In the primary
election of September 15.
The prosecution sprang another big sur
prle when former Judge Ooidon called
the name of Clara Freeman, of Atlantic
City. There was u buzz of voices through
out the courtroom ns she took the stand
and said thai fsnne Deutsch. his wife and
child were tesidenls of her home during
July and August
When quiet was restored she began her
testimony of conversations she oierheard
between Deutsch and Lieutenant Kennclt,
who. she said, frequently called and con
ferred with Deutsch.
dkctsch pnmncTim mchukii
Due evening, she said, she heard Bennett
and Deutsch talking about two men. one
of whom was with Deutsch In the political
fight in the Fifth Wald and the oilier was

done by Hie District Attorney's nlMce after
information bad leached them that Cap
tain nf Detectives Tate had petsoually
called at the prison a few days ago and
had questioned Mulhall about the Fifth

Captain Tate was asked by .ludi;e liotdon
to explain his visit to the MoyaniensInK
Pilson and his conversation with Mulhall.
and he described them as follows:
"Recently I lecelved infoi illation fiom
Lieutenant of Detectives Ktuamiel that a
man named Joseph Mulhall. who was In the
Movainenslng Prlron awaiting trial, could
throw some light on the Flflli Watd case.
I went In the pilson and bad Mulhall
brought Into the office of Supeilntendeut
Cook, vvheie 1 questioned him. -Mulhall
told me that some time In the early part
of June or July, while he was In a saloon
al Sixteenth street nnd Fail mount avenue,
he met a man named Claik. Later Mul
hall Identified this man Clark as Jim'
Clark to ine. Mulhall told me that CInilt
told lilui away hack In June or July while
iliev weie in the saloon that tlieie was a
chance to make some money down in the
Fifth Ward on election day. and that about
$1000 would figure in the matter."
tmOlCDT MILIIALL FP.OM PP.ISON
Captain Tate being grilled further by
Judge Ooidon, admitted that he had In
terviewed .Mulhall without the knowledge of
the District Attorney's ofilce. or that he
had never made t report to that depart
ment f the Interview wtlh Mulhall. AVhen
he was asked by Judge Cordon whether It
was true tint on one occasion he had
i,.miit Mulhall fiom the county prison to
the Detective lluieau. Captain Tate ad
mitted he had.
Judge Coidon asked ( aptaln late
whether he obtained any coutt permIsnlon
to bring Mulhall to the City Hall and Cap
tain Tate said "No"
"How did you get Mulhall up to jour
office'."' asked Judge flordon.
I saw Mr. Flaherty, clerk of Quarter
Sessions and obtained an order from him to
ix-ino- vruiliall to my office "
Mulhall Is now in the custody

Ti lo&ttmnnv of Captain Tate also dis-
I closed that it was Director of Public Safety

witness for the prosecution.
This was brought out by Judge fiordon.
Who grilled the Captain for at least forty
minutes. Questioned by Judge Uordoli as
to who was present when Director Wilson
.re.l that a wariant be sworn out for
Maloney's an est. Tate replied:
"There were tbiee of us Dliectur Wil
son Magistrate Watson and myself."
"Weren't you In conference with tho
Mayor's lawyers before Ihe arrext of
Maloney M decided upon'.'" asked Judge
tlordon. M , . .
William Connor, one of the counsel for
the defense, objected, And almost shouted
t I'aiiialu Tate not to answer.
Judge Hi-own. addressing Mr. Connor,
said that In view or ine sensational evi
dence that has beeSi dUdosed In court dur
ing the last six days, and that In view of
the fart that millions of dollars belonging
to the citizens of this city were being spent
by the clty'a officials In the administration
of the city, he thought that the witness
4 ought to tell everything, ami lie refused
to grant the objection.

Captain Tat replied that he had not
consulted with the Major's attorneys.
Judge Gordon's next question to Captain
Tate w whether he bad consulted with
Congressman John It. K. Scott about arrest
ing Maloney. Captain Tate replied that he
