The sole topic Of conversation around tho
City Hall yesterday, nna indeed, in every other
public rosort, was the alleged corruption Of Capt.
Hickoy. Many regarded tho statements made
by The newspapers aB exaggerated, and thought
tho Captain was too nstute to bo caught at such
game. Whilo they bolievod he was not avorso
to "maktng dollar" they could not imagine
why he took tho money from Miss moore in
such q manor as to lead hor to boliove llo in
tended putting 1t III Lis own pocket. Others
discrodited tho story OF the woman for tho rea-
son that thoy placed no dependence on
what an alleged prostitute said,
asserting that hor associations wero
such TINT Rho could not tell tho truth unaor
any circumstances. Whom tho Captain made his
appearance ut the police headquarters with his
morning report, he waH surrounded by reporters,
who proceeded to interview him. uo " admitted
bis innocence to one, and acknowledged having
sakou money to another, adding that it WIS fro.
quently necessary, in "polico businoss," to cm-
ploy md pay thieves to catch thieves, mud " turn

Neither the Superintendent OF Police nor the
Commissioners referred to the matter in hiB
proasnco, but 1t WIS supposed the latter would
take cognizance Of the caBe in tho afternoon.
The Board mot at tho regular timo, md spent
two hours In hearing tho evidence against rofrac-
tory dremen, aud attending to other nnttcrs ap~
pertaining to tho Fire Department. They mo
