The court room, built to accom- modate less than 400, was forced to hold double that number, while hundreds of other people were jammed in the corridors.
The Mayor arrived 15 minutes late to receive mingled cheers and hisses, with cheers predominating.
The wrangling among the poli- the tically opposed members of
thei Leglaintive Committer and violent partisanship of the crowd of spectators lent an odd atmosphere to the hearings.
Wild cheering broke out when the Mayor questioned the right of the Committee to "Inquire into the workings of the executive mind." He wan hazy regarding details six years old," but declared that the altucky on franchines were "propaganda of traction interests."

When Mr. Walker admitted re- ceiving money, he said he took it home and placed it in a safe for his own and wife's use. "It didn't stay there long, he added.

Mr. Walker never kept books about this money, which I had by the beneficence of Mr. Block, and which fitnew was tax paid.
Mr. Seabury asked where the money went.
