extent of the evidence which, 1t Ia al

to give against high police officials and
others. The Captain Is coming on from
Atlantic Highlands. He will see his
lawyer, Louis ]. 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 bigger than ps0-
pie imagine" said Mr.. Grant to an
"Evenng world reporter I'VE have in
hand half dozen ntfidavits showing
that instead of Mrs. Thurow paying the
| bluckmail to Capt. Doherty it was paid
to high officials over his head. All this.
however, rests now with Mr.. Goff. or
rather 1t will rest with him before the
| day is over. and he is not the man to
lose the slightest opportunity. He will
strike hard no matter who the blow
hits"

"'rhe fact was freely proven that
when the Captain found out his Ser
gcants were doing this thing he went at
once to the head of the Police Depart-

the removal OF the men, Doherty
