LOAN OF 5000 TO HIS sUPERIoR-A
PAYMENT To POLICEMAN BURNS.
The proceedings before the Lexow Committee
yesterday were comparatively tame and unm-
portant. John W. COTS probe did not appear
to be In good working order. and he failed to
draw from several witnesses the testimony which
he evidently had expected to obtain AS the in
vestigation of the Police Department COM
ing nearly TO an end. and the public had ex
pected testimony from some of the high police
officials, the failures of yesterday were the more
disappointing to persons who attended the
sion
The committee listened with ill-concealed i'm
patience to the testimony OF a builder who paid
$3.50 to Policeman Burns in the First Precinct in
1892. Burns. who formerly was McLaughin's
ward man In the precinct. dismissed from
the force similar testimony last summer. The
committee did not appear to take a lively inter-
est in the reading Of an affidavit by former
agent of Dr. Parkhurst's society who had been
tempted to betray some Of the society's secrets
To Inspector Williams at Police Headquarters
and had fed from the city In fear Of the police
when he thought attempt was being made
impcate the superintendent OF the society.
Then Mr. Con- tried another encounter WITH
Captain Allaire who had made a fairly good
witness for himself on Wednesday. and he failed
to make the captain tell anything Of importance.
Policeman William j. Mooney, who had taken
some part In the deal by which Captain Creeden
paid for his promotion. testified that when kep-
penhagen, the go-between. had been informed
that Creedens friends would raise $1,000. he had
excamed: Good, That means $1,000 for me,
s. 900 for Martin and 5000 for Noorh.s.' Mooney
said he was "A policeman In the Eleventh Precinct
and had been sent by Creeden 70 see Reppen-
hagen.
Police Captain William Strauss was examined
at great length by Mr.. Gof. who appeared 70
think that he could make the captain confess
that he had paid for his appointment strauss.
however denied that he had paid cent 10 d"
made a captain or that he ever had received any
blackmail He admitted that he had borrowed
s. 900 about the time Of his appointment by Mr.
McClave but he declared that he had expected
10 use the money In refurnishng his house. but
had changed his mind and had paid the money
back He also declared that he had no property,
and his wife corroborated his statement
Policeman Wallerstein. cousin OF the captain,
who had lent the s. 000 declared that the cap
tain had paid the money back as described. ana
Mr. Con was not able 20 make him admit that
he had collected money from disorderly houses
