NEW YORK TYRANY Being Unmashed by Goff the bold and Fearless MUNICIPAL CORRUPTION Even Darkerthan Creamed of by honest Citizens of "Greater New York" "Silver Dollar Smth" is in it. New York, October 11.—For the third time since the Lexow in vestigation commenced, Chief Consul Goff today procured evi dence to show that threats have been made to put an end to the witnesses who have appeared be fore the senators conducting the examination. Samuel Kaufman, a tailor sales man, was the first witness called during the day. He gave the sub stance of a conversation which he claimed took place on an elevated railroad train just after Police man Corcoran left the witness stand Monday. Corcoran was alleged to have asserted that he would “make those witnesses as dead as a door nail,” and that he would “lay for them some dark night.” The wit nesses supposed to be referred to were Quinn and a friend. By those persons Corcoran was accused of being a “clubber.’’ The policeman with Corcoran had ad vised him not to talk so loud, and told him to wait until the Lexow committee had finished its inves tigations before making the at tempt. Patrick Kelly, an iron worker, related a story of going through his pockets. The name of the offi cer he thought was Thorow. H 0 accused the policeman of abstract ing 50 cents, but the officer only laughed at him and pushed him along, telling him to “move on.” He reported the matter to police station and he asserts that a day or two after this he was assaulted by the policeman who finnally ar rested him. He was fined $5 on the I testimony of th“ policeman. Since the Lexow investigation had commenced the captain of the Eighty-eighth Street station had sent for him, he alleged, and told him that therejwas a job waiting for him at the station. He did not go to the captain about the mat ter. Venron H. Brown, the general agent of the Cunard Line, admit ted that he had paid $lO weekly to the officers in charge of the Cunard wharf, but he claimed that he had never paid additional sums of money to the police FIXBD THE PATROLS.!;.

He was working alone, but wrs not allowed to have many shops on the West side. Asked who had that ter ritory Majewski replied “Al Adms. ‘The King.’” DID NOT FOOL BYRNES Letters were read which are al- leged to have passed between Ma jewski and the police captain, Westervelt. In th et-e letters there were constant references to the dangeA of exposures by the news papers . Majewski was troubled by oppo sition policy shops, which did net pay tribute and fake letters of com plainedwe of re still running. The investigation closed for the day with an examination of Lie ber Freeman, who claimed that he visited “Silver Dollar” Smith to secure immunity from arrest for his brother-in-law, Joseph Frakel, a Hester street saloon keeper. A man named Solomon claimed to represent Smith and S2OO was finally paid to secure the release of Frankel from prison.
