Nov. 1—Tho long-looked- for wltbeiM from whom the public ex pected the most sensational disclo sures la connection wilh the recent po lice disclosures was testifying today. Mm. Matilda Hermann la a rather large woman, with u not unkindly espreaslon on her rather masculine features, and has snapping hlack eyes. She was a very willing witness, with one excep tion—4n the case of PoUcemau coney— and seemed determined to tell all eho knew. By her evidence three new po lice captains were added to the llat of alleged blackmailers, and also several wardmen. Lawyer Price was also named as a go-between, but. the n*«t InteresUng statement cnodo by the wit ness -was the ruin of her niece whom she had been trying to save from a disrep utable life. The girl was led astray by her /own mother, who wits the proprie tress of a disorderly house. Mrs. Hermann said she made several attempts to save the girl-through the police, and even applied to a police Jus tice, who refused to act The day's session, us a whole, -was not prolific of sensational features, but was more in the wsy of corroborative evi dence ot the features brought to light. Before .Mrs. Hermann- was sworn Street Cleaning Commissioner Andrews, who -was accused in testimony yester day to receiving a 8500 bribe while an excise commissioner, demanded nn ex planation. Ills demand was noted on the record, but Sir. Goff said he was not prana-red to go on with tho examlua- uon* Mrs. Hermann was sworn.

After a, while the mother got her and took her to a disorderly house she was keep ing. where she was ruined. I threat ened -to make trouble for her mother, but Capt. Haughey told me I could not take the girl away from her moth er. I begged him to take her from her mothers house. The girl’s mother (v-as paying 815 a week for protection, and I offered -to pay them 815 If the captain would take the girl away. Tho captain abused me and threatened to give me five years in state prison If I did not leave the mother alone. I then threatened to shoot the girl rather than see her live a life of shame." The witness tratified further that she had her slseFs house raided, bu when tho case came up before Judge Hogan he shielded h-hr- captain and had her lawyer and herself charged with conspiracy. He ha3 never given a de cision in the case. "Who was the contain when you were in the precinct?” asked Mr. Goff. "Captain Brogan."

At last Mr. Goff said: 'Now, there ta a certain police captain wham you wish ^“Youmight as well t<H the truth, be- cause •wo know all *h« Pv] ce i^ a fl names." persuasively said Mr. Goff.
