SCHANK & SPENCER, 4il' Spruce Street. ) PROSECUTION IS NOW BEING HEARD investigation of Street Commissioner Resumed Last Night FORMULATED CHARGES PRESENTED Committee Decides to Let the Invcs ligation Proceed Without Auy Pre M-ribed Limit--What the Sunday World People llring Forward a iSubstnutiuliou of the Wholesale Allegations Against Mr. Kinsley. Auother Hearing Tuesday. The taking of testimony in the Klns ! investigation was besun last nitfht before Mayor liailey and his advisory board consisting of Messrs. Sander son, t'hlttenden, C.rler ami 1-oftus, se lected by him from the councils. At the opening of the session Mr. Xi u coin he, attorney for the manage ment of the Sum lav World, which is pressing the charges, submitted the follciuing: In fnveslicution of complaints against C. It. Kinsley, street commis sioner. The investigating committee having indicated u. desire to have formal chaiK- s ma le in this case, the Sunday World 'Publishing company, by its inunaKci, .lolm II. Itlackwood, herewith submits t'oiuml complaint as follows: I. The accused, C.lt. Kinsley. Is chlllif 1 with having use, the ollice ol street com missioner lor his personal profit in this: I I.I That he lias kept a large number of his own teams and horses at work upon the streets and 111 the pay of 'the city under cover of the names of other per sons alleged to he the owners of such teams. U That he has drawn a large sum of money from the city 'treasury under cov er of services ceitilieil lo have been done by his minor son, Harry It. Kinsley, m Hie employ of said department, such services never having, in fai t, been ren dered and Harry It. Kinsley not hav ing, 111 fact, been in the employ of the city. t.i.l That he lias exacted large sums of money from persons desiring license to maintain night lunch wagons, as a con sideration lor granting permits to oc cupy tile city hi reels with such wagons. II. He Is farther charged Willi having falsely certilied ihe monthly pay rolls of his department whereby large sums of money have been drawn from the city treasury for pretended services which have never been rendered. Sunday World Publishing t'oinpany. (.Per John H. Iilurkwood, Manager.) DlSl'L'TE WAS KUVIVKI). This resurrected the dispute which uhtiost luecipitated a row at the last inciting. Mr. Burns objected to the. formulated charges on the ground thai they did not follow the allegations con luitied in the Sunday World und were therefore not a subject for inquiry by tile committee, as council had clearly und specllically stated that the Sun day World charges were to be Inves tigated. It would be unfair, he als,.t contended, and against all rules of law to make additions or amendments to an indictment, as It would be springing charges upon a man without giving him an opportunity to prepare a de fense. Mr. Newcomb quoted from the act of 1,SM), shotting that it was the duty id' the mayor to "supervise the condui t of all city olllcers and to investigate all reasonable complaints against them," and then went on to argue that the muyof and committee should not endeavor to surround the present In vestigation with technicalities that would defeat the snirit of the law. The members of the committee, at the request of the mayor, j,ave their individual views regarding what the scope of the investigation t'huuld be. Colonel Sanderson contented himself with reiterating his position in the matter. Mr. Chittenden expressed the opinion that inasmuch as the charges hnd been made and widely advertised no one, not even the accused, should hesitate to go to the bottom ,of them. Messrs. tSrler and Loftus concurred in this 01 l nil hi. Mayor liailey himself stated that he was willing to entertain any and all charges that might be submitted. After a whispered consultation with the advisory board the mayor nodded to Mr. Newcotnb to proceed nnd he opened the ball by calling as tile Urst witness Street Commissioner Kinsley. Messrs. Hums and Watson, Mr. Kins ley's attorneys, promptly objected to their client going on the stand "to prove (barges against himself," as they put it. The objection being sus tained .Mr. Xewcimih called tor the books of the street commissioner's de partment,. containing1 the records of the pay rolls for the time of Mr. Kins ley's Incumbency. Mr. Kinsley readily produced them. While he was upstair getting the books the mayor expressed a desire to have a private consultation with his colleagues and they retired to the Inner otllce. AVhen they came out they were agreed upon hearing whatever charges might be prenented. PAY KOLI.3 IX KVIDRNCl5:. 51 r. Newcomb offered In evidence the pay rolls during Kinsley's term' cull ing attention particularly to the ac counts of Upward ltamsey, Haiiy K. Kinsley and Kmmet Peet. He smarted nut to check off tile items on whiff li the allegations were based, but af this promised to be a lengthy and tedious Job. It was agreed to accept tint1 type- tvriten transcript, previously prfepuretl. counsel for the defense reserv right to object to the whole for any portion of It. The accounts showed that ltamsey or IMward ltamsey, wH admitted by Mr. Kinsley to be ilne and the same person, worked a-s tijinny r.s 75 days in certain months, sotfiiet pts being credited ns a foreman and at others its a teamster. Harry I :. Kins ley was shown to have drawn pay fi.r teams nnd caUs, being credit - will 74 days in the month of Octet er, lHV Kmmet Peet was also eredi' d wlPi working an extraordinary uu alter of days in the month with his tdam ami carts. The list having been gone l.ver Mr. Newcotnb called to the xtanjd Harry It. Kinsley, son of the street commis sioner. He gave his age as lit years anil stated that he had resiilAd In this city with his father for twehl.- or thir teen years. He worked for iyJ' Ontario und Western railroad cotnany until November, ISM. June 1. 1.;, he en tered the employ nf W. T. rfmlth as a H. M. iio were stenographer. Hid not know money he drew from the money for the work of his how much ily. Urew two teams while he was employed wi It the par ties before mentioned, t P.vned the teams since sometime In is '.1. Hellevi.d it was prior to July. Did 1 t consider it unusual for a boy of his age to own two teams. Didn't buy t iem. They were given to him by his 1 it her. Had different drivers in his en ploy. One of them was John Holland Had one or two before Hollands, hi t c mid not remember the names. Ar hur l.altar succeeded Hollands and is dill dtlviug for him. Holland!) is not in the nty now. Thought he was in New York. He was recommended for1'1' position by the street commlslon'f r to whom he was recommended by Jr rs. Ditggan, of the board of assoelatf'u' charities. Hollands was paid $35 a rfionth. Could give no idea of the time (Hollands en tered his employ, when hej 0,uit or how long he worked. Has a bjo"k contain ing all this Information. He always paid Hollands in cash. it"d not have a bank account. The balance of the profits from the team jvent for his keeping. Untight feed forl'he team and has an acount. separatf 'from his father's, at C. P. .Matthews Sons. Also has an account wltll A; Gre?n and O. Itoss, horseshoersl- After Hol lands quit LaHar went Vo work for him and is still In his erPPloy. Jake lielcher has also worked flor him dur ing the past few months! They are each paid $33 a month, and, worked by he month. Witness was mot aware that both LaBar and Belter are on the city ay rolls. Never had any horses assessed to hint, lfcies not know whether or not his two teams were assessed to his father. PKKT ON THK STAND. Kmmet Peet was next called. He is thirty years of age, unmarried, and boards with his brother-in-law, R. M. ltamsey, at No. 7 New York street. Witness formerly cared for C. K. Kins ley's horses. There were fourteen or fifteen head of them. At present, as far as witness knew, Mr. Kinsley has but one horse and two cults. There are thirteen horses in Kinsley's barn In Green Itidge but witness did not know who owned them all. Dues not at present take care of all the horses in the barn. Once and a while he feeds them when the other drivers are late. Has not worked for Kinsley since about a year tjgo, except to care for his horse and two colts. Was paid for this at so much per hour by Mr. Kinsley. Last July he bought a team of Mr. Kinsley. Applied two months' salary, which was owed him and $"0 cash as first payment. The team cost him J'iiH) and it is now all pufld for. Took no receipts for the different pay ments. Keeps his team in Mr. Kins ley's barn. Never was assessed with a team. Does not have an account in any of the teed stores. Pays Mr. Kinsley .V1 a mouth for the keeping; of his team. Witness admitted that he had n nank nccotint but said "none of your busi ness" to Mr. Newcomb's question as to where he kept it. Mr. Watson ob jected to (uying into a witness' private a (Tail's, whereupon Mr. Newcomb stated that Inasmuch as the witness was accused of being in collusion with Mr. Kinsley in getting these illegal moneys. It was proper to find out what he did with them. Mr. Hums contend ed that it was not proper for nn attor ney to discredit his own witness. The board decided to sustain the objection nnd Mr. Newcotnb look a new tack. The lirsl work witness did with his team alter buying It was for the street department. He looked for other work niter hu.Wng the team hut could not g. t any. Then asked Mr. Kinsley for a job und was hired. Did not have any work for the team or any stable to keep it in when he nought it. In answer to a question by Mr. Chit tenden, Peet said he employed no driv er nnd had but one team. "Mow do you explain that In June, 1M. you worked 4m days'.'" asked Mr. N'eweombe. "I worked some days anil some nights." "If you worked some days and some nights with your team how do you account for this item which shows that you worked 25 days with a cart in addition to the days all in this same month of June, lWt6V" HE HAD A CAItT. Witness could not remember that he worked as indicated but said he also had a cart which he used In the city work. He bought the cart also front .Mr. Kinslev. Accounted for being credited with :i days In July, lSHti, by having received back pay or possibly having worked his cart with his team and wagon. Could not acount for the :!N 7-Pi days he was credited with hav ing worked In August. lS'.tfi. This closed the questioning, th de fense not desiring to cross-examine. Air. Newcomb asked the committee to take particular notice ot the fol lowing Items which he read from the city pay rolls: May, isitfi, Arthur I.a Hur. IX 7-10 days, laborer; same month, Jacob Belcher. 15 days, laborer; June, l8Uti, Jacob Belcher, '22 7-10 days, la borer; same month, Arthur La Bat, 25 days. In borer; August, lS!)ti, Jacob Belcher. 1:1 days, laborer; same month, same iwty t days, laborer. These items. Mr. Newcomb offered In connection with the testimony of H. H. Kinsley, who swore that lielcher and I.a Bur were employed by him as drivers of his teams at times when they were drawing pay as luborers in the street department of the city. Adournment was then agreed upon until next Tuesday. RAN AWAY TWICE. Once I'rniti His Employer and the Sec ond Time f rom an Ollicer.

YOUNG TAYL0RITES ELOPE. Their Present W hcrenbouts is t ails ing Worriitienl to Their Friends. Saturday night two young Taylor people, Kl villa Critliths and Hubert Harrier disappeared. It was conjectur ed at once that they had eloped us they had been keeping company against the wishes of the girl's step-father, T. J. ('rilllths, and it had been whispered that they might get serretely married almost any day. The surprise therefore was not very great, but now that noth ing hits been heard from them, their friends are beginning to grow uneasy. The step-father was here yesterday asking the assistance of Chief Holding in finding his missing child. He believes they have gone to Bangor, Me., as they both had relatives there. He is willing to forgive them and grunt the custom ary blessing if they will only return. Chief Kobling has written the chief of Bangor to look them up.
