ROTTEN TO THE CORE.
NEW works. POLICE SYSTEM A
CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION.
Captain Schmittbergsr Makes a Confess
sion duplicating Nearly Every Official
From Police Commissioner Down to
Iatro!mln in Bribery and Dlackmail.

New YORK, Dec. 22.-Maximilian c.
Schmittbcrger, captain of police and
now in command of the TenderlOin
district, made confession before the
LeXow committee yesterday to the
effect that the entire police system Of
New York City, with the exception of
superintendent Byrnes and few
others, was rotten to the core: that
blackmail and bribery, extortion and
corruption were common crimes in
the department and that mercenary
methods alone actuated his fellow
officers. His charges implicated In
apcctors Williams and McAvoy, eX-
inspector Steers, Police Commissioners
James Il. Martin and John {. Sheehan,
Captains Price. Gastlin and Martens,
tX.Captain John Gunnerand Wardmen
Duulap. Robert Vail ana James Can
non.
Captain Schmittberger is under in
dictmcnt for bribery. He had pre-
yious.y refused to testify before the
senate committee. Yesterday he took
advantage of an offer of immunity
from punishment held out to him by
Counsel Golf and agreed to make Il
clean breast OF it. The pillars of the
church are fallen" said he on the wit
ness stand, and | deem it due my
conscience, my wife and my children,
to tell what | know" Meanwhile
dark circles crept under his eyes, his
face assumed siclIly pallor, an air of
utter WEAKNESS and detection pos
sesscd him, and he appeared, as he
vas IN extreme mental torture and
agony. But no spirit of sympathy
moved the throng of spectators.
Snrers and sarcastic laughter instead
answered the acknowledgment of
ho WEAKNESS when at last Counsel
Go.f permitted him to vacate the wit
ness stand.
