l!ev Di DKon was. next called and
was at.ked hv cotllibel to testifv as to
the necesall ot the hotel. Judge
Aichbald said that couit did not cine
to lieai an evidence as to the necis
st ol the place, but would listen onlv
to testimony beaiiug on the chaiacter
of the house and Its effect on the nelgli
hoihood Di Dlvou thcieupou stated
that in his opinion the saloon situated
and eoniluctid as It was, was detil-
lnental to eveiy inteiest ot the congie
gatlon Sunday school boys stopped
and studied lewd plotuies displaed in
tlie saloon windows on liequent occas
ions loud anil bolsteious talk was a
t oininon occin lence theie, people pass
ing to and f mm the chinch weie com
pilled to listen to vile language utteied
by loafets who eongiegate in fiont of
the place, and on one occasion a lady
niembei of the clioli was puisued l) a
man who came out of Amsbiy's place
and followed hei even into the chuich
Mild
On eioss examination, In nnswir to
Mr. Horn's questions, he admitted that
ho was opposed on geneial pilnelplis
to the llquiii tiatile. The lewd pic till es
displayed ill Amsbiv's window might
be. he said, show llteiatuie such as
could bo toimd In ninny other windows
about the city. He did not make a
study of show pletuics and only looked
at the ones in Amsbiv's place because
his attention had been attiatted to
them when he went to uige his Sunday
school boys to go away fiom in liont
of the place. The plctuies were those
ot women moie or less nude. He could
not nnswei Intellgently Mr Horn's
question as to whethei or not they weie
plctuies of women In ordinal y ballet
costume, he said, because he never saw
an oidlnai) ballet costume oi anj othei
kind of a ballet costume.

about the chaiacter of the place She
was not allowed to testify to these,
howovei. She told, however, that she
knew theie weie drinking looms up-
staiis. Hnuv McCuicken, IS yeais of

other bovs liiul plned cauls In the
place on seveial occasions, Sundajs In
cluded, but without the knowledge or
consent ot the ptopiletor oi the bni

DEFENSE OF AMSBRY.
In defense of his character and the
iLputntion ol his place Ml. Amsbty call
ed Dr. B. H. Thioop, Isiad Bltttnbcn
dei, F. H. Jermjii, J. J. O'BovIe, I'etei
Hntttlch and Thomas Clmk. All testi
fied that Mi Amsbiy was a good and
ltputuble citizen and as far as they
Know conducted a quiet and ouleily
place. Mr. Ultteiibender is one of the
tiustees of the Penn avenue chuich.
Somevv hat of a sin pi Ise w as occasion
ed when tho chinch people called as
theli fli st witness in the Welchel case
Ml Amsbiy ugalnst whom they had but
a few minutes befoie stienuously wag
ed opposition. The suipilse was les
sened however when It developed that
Mi. Amsbiy had offeied himself as a
witness, not as against Mi. Welchel,
but aguinst the tenants over Welchel's
place. His evidence was to the effect
that questionable chmacteis had fiom
time to time lived in these apaitments
and that at piesent they aie occupied
by women whose lepututlon foi molal
ity Is not theli stiongest point. He
told however that when he complained
to the owner of the building, the appli
cant's father, now deceased, of the
clmiuctei of these tenants they weie
driven out uid that at his Instigation
the Welchel executots, of whom the
applicant Is one, are making effoits to
oust the piesent occupants
Judge Aichbald lemaiked that the
tiouble seemed to be not so imich from
tho licensed places down stalls but
fiom the unlicensed places up stalls
Rev Mi Dixon again took the stand
and told of whlBkey bands being piled
up against the feqco and wild that
In summer time when the windows of
the chuich weie opened the fumes of
the whiskey peimented the chinch,
which to his mind did not mix well
with pinyei. The place had been kept
open on Sunduv he believed, One week
ago Sunday It was open wide enough,
lie said, to allow two diunkeii men to
i eel out of the front door. In conclu
sion he said It wns haid to pull people
up when the wciosomniiv strong con
tiguous lulltieiices pulling them down

In defense of himself Mr. Vdehel
called John ,T. O'HojIe, who testified
that the place was conducted in u legal
and oi dcily iuij and Pntiolninn Dnv,
who iievei found cause to complain of It
and then went on the stand himself
nml after ilenving that he was in tiny
vi ay lcspouslblo foi tho tenants up

WRONG MEN ACCUSED.
Complications That Have liccn Caused
by the Burglarizing of Ltikens'
Saloon uii Capousc Avenue.
It now develops, almost to a cettaln
tv, that the thiee voting men, Anthony
Kellv, John M. Ruddv mid Mil had F.
Ruddy, of Pine Hi 00k, who uie unilei
ball to answei tit couit the charge of
buiglatlzlng John Lttkous' bottling es
tablishment un Cnpoiise avenue last
Januniy, me wholly innocent of tlie
cilme Tluough the elfotts ot theli
counsel, Quitman iS. Donahue, and the
aid of Detective Will F.'Clllfoul, the
cilme has been llxed upon tour other
youths of the nelghboiliood, thiee of
them having admitted It and one hav
ing signed a wiltteii confession.
The teal culm Its ale Mai tin Nealon,
of Phelps stieet, Joseph O'Donnell, ot
New stieet, Aithui Lung, ot Womlug
uveiiue, und Joseph McCmin, ol New
stieet.
The buiglmy wns commltteecl emly
on the moinlng of Januuij 1. Lukens
was attiaetnl b the noise of Inliudets
mm vventduvv 11 stalls In time to see them
limning awnv. He thought he lecog
nli'ed thiee of them as Kelly and the
two Ruddy bovs and was so positive of
Ills identification that he swoie un
equivocally befoie Aldeiman Mlllm
that they were the pintles and so Im
piessod the aldeiinun with his assui
ance that the trio weie bound ovei foi
couit.
The old ndnze "theie Is honor even
among thieves" found an oxemplillca
tlon In this case Nealon, In a saloon
one nlht, made the statement Ucloie
a ciowd that the Ruddy and Kelly wero
Innocent ot the ci line and that he'd be
If he'd see them surfer In the
wiong He did not admit that he com
mitted the deed, but when the Ruddv
bovs, healing of his statement, went
to him and begged hint to set them
right he consented to tell the tine stoij
of the buiglaiy piovldlng the would
piotect him and his companions ns fin
as the) could.
This was a-jteed to and a meeting
was in ranged at the olllee ol Qulunati
it Donahoe in tlie Meais building
Nealon, O'Donnel and MiCunn went
time and told in the piesetuc of the
uttoinejs and the wiongli licensed
joung men who committed the buig
laij mid all the details how It was
done. A vviittin contesslon was pu
pated mid Nealon on a later occasion
signed It. Long would have nothing
to do with the contesslon, but was Im
plicated b the othei thiee.
The foui leal culpilts m winged to set
tle the cse with Lukens by paying foi
the stuff that was stolen but Long le
tused to pis his shaie and as a conse
quence the aiiangeintnt fell tluough
und Jail was stailpg them In the lace
Long told tl.em not to won), that he
bad been In tlghtei holes often betoie
and gut out all tight and would do 'o
again in tills case. The falluie to cf
tect a .settlement and Long's counsel
cvldeiitlv made the other time soiij
they had confessed mid as thev wuuld
thev expected have to go befoie couit
and testlt to theli admissions they de
cided to skip out. At least the oung
men who wen beating the bin den of
othei s' climes hi md the quaitette was
about to ship and vestouljr had wui
lants issued lot them
Thev weie m tested liv Detective Cllf

olllee wheie they wen questioned as
to tilt ehaiactei of the evidence that
could be expected fiom them mid then

qulied to furnish $J00 ball.
Much to the ihagiin of Attoinevs
Quitman and Donahoe the quaitette
either denied totally or admitted w lth
oxtieme qualifications the confessions
they had made. Nealon lould not go
back on his slgnntuie but when th it
was Haunted betoie him ho said he onlv
did it at the attorney's solicitation to
get tlie othei tellows out of tiouble and
