| 0fhcer of the second district police, CHARGED
7 John Albo, alias Jo Wan, with perjury iI,
having in August last, while Cock was un-
der examination by the tribunal under the
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses sworn that Albo said tllist Cook,
in the presence of three Witnesses, did re-
ceiye the sum Of SIS for permitting him to
run gambling house. Albo was sent to
the criminal court. M
The history Of this matter is that some
time last year AlDo, who kept q coffeehouse
in the second district was arrested at the
instigation Of or by Cook, o special police
olncers on the charge ofswindling c0lored
mar from one OF the country parishes out
of Sl00, which was alleged to hays been con.
fded TO Albo to be changed into small bills
Instead OF giving the coored man his
money the next day, Albo, according to the
testimony, tore up u bank note, counterfeit
or genuine, and told the countryman that
the money he gave him was counterfeit and
Qf 10 value. Albo WAS sent to the first dis
trlct court for trial on this charge, which
1bd not, short time ago, been finally dis
posed of.
AlbO subsequently made affidavit against
Cook, charging him with receiving $25 to
allow the game of monte to be played on his
(Albo's) premises. 1t was testified to that
this money was paid to Cook by appoint.
ment while he was standing in front Of the
second district police station building and
in presence of witnesses, The testimony
was conflicting in relation TO the matter,
and that of the late Lieutenant Cheek, then
of the second district police, was in positive
and emphatic contradiction Of Albo's testi-
nlony.
The criminal charge against Cook was
dismissed by Recorder Gastinel on the
ground that the alleged black mailing was
an oitense which the police board should
| take cognizance of. The police board did
| inuAaktlAto tho aud ofo AZ
the conflicting testimony dismissed Cook
from the police force. Several unsuccessful
attempts were made by Cook to get u
| rehearing before the police board.
This Is a portion of the testimony Of Lieu
| tenant Cheek on the 10Th of August, before
| the. recorder, according to our report ut
| that time
"As for the statement of AIbO, that he
told witness that he had paid S25 to Cook
| to allow gaming to go on, it is false; ne
did not make this statement to me; If he
had done so I should certainly have ar
rested him; Albo did not tell witness that
Mr.. Cook gave him authority to have
| gaming there"
The grand Jury viii now investigate the
case and endeavor 10 ascertain who was
\ guilty of perjury. The columns of the RE,
| PusLICAG contain the only full report OF
the testimonyat that time, the court report
not having been preserved.
