What q change twentyfour hours can
make in the destiny of police officials!
1t was on every oodys lips yesterday
that ex-Police Capt. Doherty would GO
before the Lexow Committee and tell
all he knows Of police mismanagement.
II was asserted that he had made an
| appointment to see Lawyer Golf. the
Committees counsel. to-day. In fact, he
was. it WIS SAID, filled with burning
desire to get square" with the men
who had disgraced him.
His counsel, Lawyer Louis ]. Grant, had
admitted that he had spent several
hours with Mr.. Con- on Friday last; that
| the Doherty case had been discussed;
| that several sffidavits had been made
showing that bride money had been
paid. !. to Capt Doherty. but to much
| higher officials, who were to be exposed
All this is changed.
This morning there comes a story
from Dohertys home at Atlantic tign-
| lands to the effect that he has no idea
| Of going before the LeSow Committee.
| to do so. While he is ANGRY all the way
through az the action Of James J. Mar
! TN, President Of the Police Board, in
gonig to turn informer
| The ex-Csptain, according to the story,
declared that LAWYER Grant had made
denied that he had authorized any one
to speak for him and. in fact, had never
seen Lawyer Grant from the time of
the trial TO the present moment
yer Grant read that statement this
morning he would have boiled over
back from his shelter Island home, and
| was met by half dozen newspaper
men, he smiled and said:
Yes, Capt poherty would he right
mark II had made all the statements
attributed to me. never said positively
that he would go before the Lexow Com,
also, that. In case Capt Doherty were
summoned he would answer all cues
tons truthfnlly; did say that
money had been paid to higher men
than Capt. Doherty and that is true. but
! VIII not give up the names OF the men
who made nsTs them expect Capt Do tSs
papers in the appeal case.
Having said this much Mr.. Grant
practically declined % say any more,
save that he was still Capt. Doherty's
counsel There was no question that for
some unaccountable reason there was a
great backing OF water ON everybody 5
| part
There was only one thing more to as
certain. namely whether ex-Capt. Doher-
| tvs brother, Patrick. had also changed
| his mind. Patrick Doherty was at Mr..
Grants Office yesterday, and was seen
by half dozen reporters. To one OF
them he said his brother was most anx-
| ious to go before the Lexow Committee
| Patrick Dohsrty was found bv an
| Evening World reporter at his place
of business. 1853 Washington street, Brook
lyn, this afternoon. He denied that he
had ever made the statements attributed
to him.
las a matter of fact" he said, II was
| decoyed TO Mr. Grants ONCE yesterday
| by MIR. Grant. | went to New York In
hopes of seeing my brother. l had not
seen him since Friday night at his home
ON Lexington avenue. ] was not au-
thorized to speak for him, and did not.
/ was more than amazed to see the re-
porters in Mr.. Grants office when ! got
| there.
II, did not say my brother should or
would go on the witness-stand before
the LeXow Committee. In fact | hope
and trust H. will do nothing of the kind
That would be giving things away. and
] am not in favor OF his doing that
don't think II would be right, and i Ger.
tainly would not do 1t myself.
| besides, ! do not want Nv. Mort
or any OF those people to believe that
am urging the Captain on In any
manner. 1t would injure me in my
| business"
