Promotion for Money.


Promotion for Money.
Statements were published in the Post
this morning in which It is alleged that
Officer Malloy Of the Eighth Precinct
was twice approached by Officer Slack,
who offered for $10o to secure him a
position on The mounted force, saying
that he had influence enough at Head
quarters to accomplish this result II
was also alleged that Officer Sutton Of
the First Precinct had admitted 10
Post reporter that a lieutenant on the
force had offered to get him promoted
10 a sergeantcv If he would pay $50.
Mr., Sutton Indignantly denied ever
saying anything Of The Kind. ITS a
lie, pure and simple" he said, "and
the man who wrote Il must have been
out Of his head Talking with a re-
porter Monday night. he told me about
the Malloy matter, and I said / did not
believe e. Not a word was said regard
ing myself Last night another replrter
for the same paper came to me. and

deliberately writes that admitted maxi
ing such a statement, but that Il did
not 60 now. The whole thing, so far
as | am concerned, Is falsehood. and
hope you will deny il as emphatically
as possible.
Why even suppOsing for an instant
II were true, wouldn't / be big fool to

Of the story. ] have never heard Of
money being paid for promotions, and
| don't believe there ever has been. -
Lieutenant Amiss was also Indignant
at the publication, for Sutton being In
his precinct he considered Il an indirect
slur upon him.
Regarding the Malloy Slack matter
no denial has been made yet, and It is
probable that the matter will be in
vestigated by the Police Department.
Promotions to sergeant are made by ex.
aminations, eligible to all second. class
men, while promotions IN the ranks are
made In the order Of appointment. so It
seems impossible for Influence, es.
pocially Of this character to be used.
