New York, Oct. 31. Chlrman Lexow,
of the Investigation committee, Inti
mated at the opening of today's ses
sion that should Commissioner Sheehan
show further recalcltratlon, Mr. Goft
would be likely to take him oft the
stand and certify the matter to the
grand Jury. Commissioner Sheehan
had brought his bank books with him,
concerning which he said:
Because I have my bank books it
does not mean that I will tell what Is
In them unless I am accused of de
positing money Illegally; then I will
produce them." ' - ,
James W. Boyle, the Tammany lead
er of the Ninth Assembly district, was
first placed on the stand today.
"Did you send out a notice," asked
Goff, "calling for a list of people who
are under police protection?"
I did not,"
Now, here Is a slip attached to a
circular bearing your name. It is ad
dressed to elecUon district captains.
Will you swear that the slip was not
sent out from your headquarters?"
"I swear I don't know anything about
it."
When a saloon keeper wants a li
cense, do you not roroe mm to join
Tammany Hall?"
"I ask him, but use no threats."
Commissioner Sheehan was called to
the stand. He was holding several
packages and some type-written papers
but declined to tell Goff what they
were. Goff read an interview with
Commissioner Sheehan published a yea
ago. , He laid stress on the extract In
which Sheehan was purported to have
eaid: "It it also true that arrangement'
has been made by Tammany to stop the
payijent of police blackmail."
The commissioner wanted to explain.
He would not answer" positively.
','You can be committed for con
tempt," exclaimed Goff.
ltYou had better try It," defiantly re
torted Sheehan.
' "You will answer the questions as
the counsel wants thtm," Chairman
Lexow said.
"I'll answer them in my own way."
Then followed a scene of great con
fusion. Spectators Joined in the up

the chairman.
Counsel Goff asked Commissioner
Sheehan for his bank book, but was
