PARKS WANTS WHITEWASH.
1t Might BE Useful to Help Him
Before the Grand Jury.

Around the City Hall an impression
prevails that Alderman Parks demanded
an investigation Of the charge that he
is gambler in the hope Of securing a
whitewash. and thereby attempting to
influence the action Of the Monmouth,
N. j., Grand Jury. which has his case
under consideration.
In Tammany Hall, Parks is a persona
non grata, but he may get a clean bill
of health, because no one takes enough
interest in the matter to refuts his
statements.

to jail. and she said that II he did not
marry her. she would see that he
would not marry any other woman.
