TELLS THE TRUTH.
Capt. Schmlttberger Tells OF Corruption
Among New York Police.

Capt. SchmIttberger Tells OF Corruption
Among New York Police.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Capt. Schmitt-
berger was recalled as a witness be-
fore the Lexow committee on Friday.
He created a sensation by his answer
to the second question asked him,
which was: ''Do you recognize the
binding character of an oath?" He re-
piled: Il do; l have come to tell the
whole truth"
Capt Schmittberger is under indict-
ment for bribery. He had previously
refused to testify before the senate
committee. Thursday, however, he
was rearrested and his bail increased.
Friday he took advantage of an offer
of immunity from punishment held
out to him by Counsel Golf, and agreed
to make clean breast of it,
Without question Friday was the
most important day in the history of
the Lexow committee. Schmittberger'
confession is prolific not only of sensa-
ton but of evidence which confirms
and verifies what have been hitherto
considered the most exaggerated cases
of police and official corruption. It
deals with more individual cases;
it shows the criminality that has pre-
vailed in the police department.
