We have cases in preparation now
against eight police captains for bribery
-Four of these are sufficiently far ad-
vanced to warrant us in going to trial
and we are daily strengthening the cases
against the other four.
But We have NJ idea of stopping with
the eight / speak Of. We have proof that
there was an organized system of black
mail all over the city, AMI We will not
rest until. We have gone Into every pre-
cinct. We VIII take up one after the
other until the entire city has been gone

THE evidence we are getting is for
future use-after the Lexow Committee
mittee will not have access to the tes-
timony of the witnesses we are now en-
aiming. We have nothing to do with
the LeXow methods. This is an entirely

WILL RENEW HOSTILITIES.
Mrs. Sallade Tells of Her Plans for
Purifying W. 2ith street.

Mrs. Mary r. Sallade's fight for the
publication of that part Of West Twen-
ty-fourth street between Broadway and
Sixth avenue promises to break out with
renewed force before the week Is out.
"Mr Schroeder has yet three days
in which to get out of the Hotel Airing
ton," she said to-day to an Evening
World" reporter. THE five days notice
has expired, but he has three days
grace. The police say that they can do
nothing with Schroeder, because he has
a hotel license. Now, I propose show
ing them that l can, and l will. l do
not care to make public the evidence |
have obtained against him, but lawyers
consider 1t Is sufficient
Mrs Salladc was amused when half a
dozen reporters asked her II she had not
been charged with horse stealing In
Texas, and II 1t was true that vigilance
committee had escorted her out of Hous-
ton. where, 1t was charged, her husband
was lynched.
She said she was never in Texas and
was not aware of her husband being
lynched. She had never stolen horses,
but had raised sheep in Missouri.
Agent Goodale, who collects Schroe-
der's rent. said he would do nothing re-
garding the notice for the Hotel Airing
ton to be vacated. If Mrs. Sallade wanted
to bring an action she could do so, but
he certainly would not.

PLENTY OF DENIALs.
Brockway's Defense Is Laid Out
on Those Lines.
Keeper Semple Forgets What He
Said at the First Inquiry.
But Admits that Men Were Struck
on the Head with straps.

The defense adopted by Brockway and
his Board OF Managers in the Elmira
Reformatory investigation was clearly
outlined by the testimony taken yester-
day. 1t Is to he a general denial by the
keepers, guards and other Reformatory
officials OF the evidences of cruelty con-
tanned In the sworn statements of over
100 prisoners.
This plan will probably be followed
until all OF the keepers and others ac-
cused OF brutality have had an oppor-
tunity to deny the charges against
them.
nrockway was again absent when tho
Commissioners opened the second days
proceedings for the defense at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel this morning. The belief
grows that he will not DE called upon
to testify.
Samuel Sempie. head keeper. was re-
called for REORGANIZATION. Judge
Gilbert read over Semple's testimony at
the first investigation. and asked him u
! he remembered making the statements
! contained In 1t.
To some twenty such questions Semple
! answered. II don't remember He
| seemed to have no difficulty about re-
calling the eve ITS asked about even to
minor details. but could not remember
! his previous testimony.
Semple admitted having struck and
| knocked down inmates, but said that 10
was done only when necessary to sub
| due them or In self-1efcnse.
About 10 per cent. of the men punished
were struck over the head by Brockway
with n strap or paddle. In per cent.
OF the cases the blows left marks on
the head or face.
In the case Of Joseph Schneider, who
was carried from the bathroom insensi.
bic. Semple said the man threw himself
on the floor to escape punishment with
such force as to render him unconscious.
John Bigley. keeper, had witnessed nifty
whippings. He denied the statements OF
Inmates as to brutal punishment
August Bandorf, foreman In the
Rcfformntory foundry, testified to tho
tasks performed by inmates.
John ]. Coleman. keeper, saw no EVIL
dences of brutality at the Reformatory.
He did not believe that Murray, the
inmate, whose death II In clal med was
received, had been cruelty beaten, and
after death could discover no evidences
OF ill-trcatment on the body.
John i. Berthoid, Instructor OF phys
teal culture. and an ex-inmate OF the
Reformator described the methods in
use In the gymnasium Some dozen or
more inmates have testified that Ber-
thold was brutal in his tire ltment OF the
men In his department. and that he ire
auently struck and knocked them down
toned about these cases Berthold de-
MED having struck anyone.
DR.. Wilbur II. Seymour was called
to refute the story told by Patrick Me-
Gowan before his death that his illness
was the result OF harsh treatment while
at the Reformatory. DIR. Seymour said
that the autopsy showed that MCGOWAN
died OF pulmonary consumption.
