THE LEXOW INVESTIGATION.
Policeman Intermann Acknowledges That
He Swore Falsely on the Stand.

NEW YORK, December 19.-When the
Lexow Committee convened to-day the
crush for admission exceeded that of any
previous date. In the room was a galaxy
Of police officials, including captains, in
spectors, sergeants, and retired members
Of these grades.
The first witness called was DR.. Owen
j. Ward, who testified that John Martin,
the alleged recipient of $4,000 Of Captain
Creedon's money, Is completely paralyZed
on the left side, is suffering from LESSONS
of the brain, so that his testimony could
not be relied upon, and that any examina-
tion by counsel would have a detrimental
effect on his health.
A policeman named Intemann. who yes
terday swore that he did not divide with
his superiors money paid by the Ameri-
can Steamship Company, took the stand.
MIR. Goff asked him If he had thought
over his testimony, and il he wished 10
affirm or take it back.
"Tll take 1t back" said Intemann.
when you swore you did not give up
part of the money, did you swear 10
what was true or untrue|
IL swore TO what was untrue. / thought
to save my friends Vail and Taylor.
Vail was the wardman who collected the
money, and Taylor was the sergeant. The
witness then volunteered the statement
that first he gave up half the money he
received from the American Steamship
Company, and when Schmittberger cams
he had to give up $25 out of the $40 a
month.
"Can you tell me-" said Senator O'Con-
nor "why policemen come on the stand
and swear falsely?"
1--WE stand by each other" said Int,
mann. There's an implied obligation to
do So"
Sergeant Taylor testified that money in
tended for Captain Allaire. Inspector
Steers. and others, was placed in an en-
velope marked "Street-cleaning report,
and put in designated drawer.
Captain Allaire. In reply to Mr. Goff's S
question, acknowledged that 1t was not
in his power TO suppress the disorderly-
house nuisance. He stated that he never
knew that any money was collected from
the keepers of these houses.
An adjournment was here taken until
