Witaesses Inchded Pastor of For¬ ma' Queens Sheriff Testify as to His Good Charact'' r—Witaesses Against Him Only Those.Con¬ cerned in Charges With VHiich His Name Has Been Connected
e!x-ckief kuss to talk at hempstead about fire figh11ng methods
Mineola, June 21,—With no more de¬ fense by testimony than the presenta¬ tion of character witnesses Attorney Stephen P. Baldwin, trial counsel for the defense, has left the case of Hprl)ert B. Harvey former Democratic Hhcriff of Queens County go to the Jury. The Jury retiretf early this aftemoon.
The state's case ende<l this morning with Warden .Iohn Dunbar of the County Jail who was called to corrobor¬ ate minor details of O'Nell's testimony. Following that Attorney Baldwin made the usual motion ending up with the request for a dismissal of the indict¬ ment on the ground that there liad been no corroboration in any part of the Htate's case except that given hy ac¬ complices or "what might be spelled by the testimony of the wltneasea DeBeau nnd .Tones."
Mr. Baldwin moved to strike out all of the testimony that rcferrp<l to the Hudson Motor car whicii witnesses swore waa stolen and had heen sold to Harvey, he knowing It was a stolen car. He aake<l to strike oyt all of the testimony as to payment on that car on the,ground that every [)article of testimony was by self confessed accom¬ plices.
He also askcil to strike out all the testimony that referred to weekly pay¬ ments of $36 for "prot«>ction" on the jrround that there was no corroboration. Harvey was not called to the stand In his own behftif v nor w^g ftpy attempt mode by counsel for the defense to fight the tt^timony of the state's wit¬ nesses that Harve^y had bribed anyone. They had all sworn that he had passed $200 for the purpo.se of influ¬ encing Plant In O'Nell's behalf but there was no attempt made to contra¬ dict or deny this testimony.
Counsel for the defense .'(eemed Will¬ ing to go to the Jury if they had to and they must because Justice Cropsey has denied all the motions to dismiss" oh the .strength of the summing up In which Attorney Baldwin brought out that Mill the testimony was by self-con- fes-sed criminals and accomplices. He has a.sked Justice CJropsey to rule on a motion to dismi.ss on the ground that only accomplices were corroborating the testimony,
Character witnesses were the only ones called for Harvey today. They Included C. (J. M. Thomas of Flushing, vice-president of the Consolidated Gaa Company, New York City, and various other gas companies, as well as being a co-director in the Flushing National Bank with Harvey. Clarence M. Ixiwes, president of the FIu.shlng Nat¬ ional Bank and Treasurer of the Dime Savings Bank of Williamsburg, Charles H. Roberts of Flushing, a builder and vice-president of the Flushing National Hank, George W. Pople, retired, of Flushing, and In addition to these Mon¬ signor Kugehe J. Donnelly of Flushing who ha.s known Harvey for thirty years.
"It's good as far as I know. It's good" replied Monsignor Donnelly, when ask¬ ed l)y Attorney Baldwin what ho knew a.M to Harvey's reputation for hone.sty, integrity and general clean living.
For the first time alnce his trial be¬ gan and for the flrat time since all of the chargea have been made against him. Harvey showed the effects of the strain ho has l>een under. He haa been attacked repeatedly In the testi¬ mony thut t>egan to come out In Plant's flrat trial an far back as January, but until today he has ulway« b««ii d«l»on. aire, smiling and pleasantly greeting his friends, of whom he aeema to have many.
Whon the pastor of his parish tes- tlfled, for him today, he bowed hir, h^d and cried. It was apparent thaf he waa deeply moved, for w^en he was able to regain his oompoaure he paaaed a hand.that trembled acroas his mouth, wet llla lips with his tongue.
Atto.'n«y Baldwin began summing upl about 11 o'clock thia morning and aald he would take ajjout one hour- District Attotnuy ChariM R. Weeks announced that he would take no longer to review thft facta for the atate.

"We made up a composite ad to run In Th© Dally Review, as you know, nnd there are so many separate business cards that we had to give each one a very small space.

"If I could have a few lines of space In Th© Dally Review today I would like to say to the readers that the advertisements we have sent out do not any more than begin to tell the story. What we have said Is all true and then aome."

Former Chief Brennan suggested that Judges, timers and starters be chosen from among the flremen and that the watches be left with a Jeweler a few weeks In advance of the tournament that they might be adjusted to corres¬ pond.
The Council agreed that in Individual contests, participants must be members of the department for at least six months. This will eliminate the possi¬ bility of athletes Joining the depart ment for the express purpoae of compet¬ ing for the prizes to the detriment of the regular flremen.
It was also suggested that the tourna¬ ment be conflned to flremanlc events. One of the events proposed Is a water flght. In which two companies of men, each with a stream shall see who can stand longest against the flow of water. Spectators ar© warned to give this event a wido berth, as ther© was a merry twinkle in Chief Wood's eye when he proposed It.
