BOARD GETS SETBACK. Witness Hails to Throw Light on Why .Specifications Were Altered. It was acknowledged y by Clarence J. Shearn, special counsel to the Transit Commission, that the changes In specifications for trackless trolley cars for Staten Island were mado months before William R. Crompton attempted to get himself engaged as a salesman for the Atlas Truck Corporation. This acknowl- edgement was made during the ex amination of Allan R. Cosgrove, Vice President and General Manager of tho corporation. Cosgrovo fixed the time of meeting Crompton as May 11, 1922, while the contract for trackless trolley cars em- bodying changes In specifications was made more than 'tWotnonths before. After Cosgrovo fixed tlie date to- day. Judge Shearn remarked that; in all fairness to Mr. Crompton, it now does not appear that tho specifica- tions wero changed because \Cromp- ton was not retained as New York salesman nt $10,000 a year salary by the Atlas Company.\ Tho Impression that Crompton had knowledge of the changes came from his efforts to bo retained as salesman. During his negotiations, Crompton showed Cosgrove a plcturo of himself marching at the head of the Tammany Society's Liberty Day Parade between Mayor Hylan ad Charles F. Murphy. Crompton told Cosgrove, the latter testified that ho pointed to the photograph as an indication of \haw I stand politically in New York.\ Cosgrove ubbolvcd Crompton from any responsibility In changing the specifi- cations.
