E1-Capt. Doherty Likely to Tell
His Story to John W.
Golf To-Day.
WON'T BE THE SCAPEG0AT.
He Means to Get Satisfaction Out
Of the Men Who Have Dis
gracsd Him.

The Grand Jury, it was said this
morning, will probably be discharged
Wednesday,. 1t is expected that indict-
ments Will be returned against several
policemen, but who the men are IL a
secret closely guarded by the attaches
of the District-Attorneys office
1t can be depended upon, however
that the July Grand Jury will not con-
slider the cases of any of the Police
Commissioners At the same time II Is
not improbable that the August Grand
Jury will inquire into the charges made
before the Lexow Committee against
ex-Police Commissioner McClave. After
his case is disposed of his former col
leagues will be taken up.
Before the day is over Lawyer John
w. Golf. counsel for the LeXow lnvesti-
eating Committee, will know the full
extent of the evidence which, II Is al
legged, eX-Police Capt Doherty proposes
to give against high police officials and
others. The Captain is coming on from
Atlantic highlands. He will see his
lawyer, Louis j. Grant, first, and then
1t is part of the programme that he Will
see Mr.. Con- and tell all he knows
THE story is much biSeer than peo-

Evening World' reporter. I'VE have in
hand half dozen altiuavits showing
that instead of Mrs. TnuruW paying the
blackmdii TO Capt Doherty it was paid
to hlSn officials over his head. All this,
however, rests now with MIR. Goff, or

day is over, and he Is not the man to

MIR. Grant admitted this morning that
he had held a conference with Mr. Con,
and that the latter knows much of the
facts. capt. Doherty, however, has not
personally seen the LeXow lnvestgat-
ing Committees counsel II IL mainly
for the purpose OF seeing him that he
comes up to-day
Mr. Goff is reticent over the matter.
There is kind of a lurking fear in his
mind that at the last moment something
may go wrong and the witness may be
lost after all.
Certain 1t is however that he has the

Mr.. Cor when seen said he also had

no opinion to express upon II. He was
asked II in his investigation he had
heard of Turhll's name before. He re-
piled gtiardedly that he had heard many
things which he had tried TO keep down.
He denied that ne had seen Mr.. Grant
