Q,  Your  statement  to  Mr.  Farrell  on  the  16th  of  May  was  that
you  were  sorry  at  being  transferred — being  put  on  post — and  that
you  held  Sullivan  responsible  for  it?     A.  I  said  that?

Q.  Yes?  A.  I  couldn't  say  that.  It  was  before  that  time  he
had  had  me  transferred  from  one  precinct  to  another  at  my  own
request.
Q.  What  was  the  trouble  you  had  with  that  poolroom  on  the
Bowery,  near  Houston  street?  A.  I  never  had  any  trouble  with
any  poolroom.  I  did  not  know  there  was  a  poolroom  there,  and
I  only  live  a  block  from  there,  at  the  corner  of  Houston  and  Sec-
ond avenue.  I  don't  know  whether  there  is  a  poolroom  there  or
not;  never  did;  never  heard  of  it.  only  from  the  papers.
Q.  Only  what  our  innocent  men  here  found  out?  A.  There
are  other  innocent  men,  too,  vou  know.

Examined  by  Mr,  Moss:

I  am  the  president  of  the  Uvalde  Asphalt  Company.  It  is  a
new  company.  I  don't  think  it  grew  out  of  the  Litho-Carbon
Rubber  Company,  of  Uvalde,  Texas.  I  have  heard  of  the  Litho-
Carbon  Rubber  Company  of  Uvalde,  Texas.  I  was  connected
with  it.  The  Uvalde  Asphalt  Company  bought  its  interests.
