had seen Inspector Byrnes and tina
official told the captain not to allo1
the house to open. While in the pre-
cinct Schmittberger paid Inspector NJ,
Avery $50 per month.
Did he ever mention the matte
to you:"
/ Yes. Once he said he would no
like to accept money from disorderl,
houses. l told him the money wa
not from these houses at all and moth
ing more was said about it,
Did he have any scruples about tax
ing money from these people?"
He is a very religious man, and
suppose that he did,
You paid the money as a bride 81
you would not be called on to enforce
the law"
That was my purpose,
Mr.. Golf then asked Schmittbergel
the reasons why Georgiana Hastings
never paid protection money.
she was exempt for some reason.
| OF a hint that if l did not keep
my hands off there, l would get my
fingers burned"
Mr.. Golf explained to the committee
the true reasons why she was never
mOlested were because several Judges
in New York were in the babit of
visiting her house and had thrown the
mantle Of their protection around her.
He further stated that the names of
these judges We're in his possession
but he would not use them unless
forced to do so. Schmittberger con-
tinuing said that he collected 5000 per
month while in charge Of the '"Ten-
derlOin' precinct. Lille Clifton was
exempt there at the request of Cap
tain Deyery. SchmittberSer said that
he had given Commissioners Martin
and Sheehan 800 each as political
contributions but no one else of the
police officials received money from
him aside from those mentioned. He
knew Captain Martens paid money
for promotion as it passed through
his hands Martens wanted to be
made roundSpan and [ went to see
Captain Williams about it. He said
Martens could receive the appoint
ment for $500 and upon Martens Civ
ing me the money 1 turned it over to
Williams. When he wanted to be
made sergeant Williams said that it
would cost $1,000 and I handled the
money in the same way" In closing
Schmittberger said that he had made
a clean breast Of everything The
committee then adjourned till
Wednesday.
Senator OCOnnOr denies in private
that he had asserted, as had been al
legged. that Mr.. Golf had intimidated
witnesses before the LeXow commit
tee. That there is some discord be-
tween Counsel Golf and the commit
tee, however, is a conceded fact, and
that this dissension is over the uues-
ton as to why Supt Byrnes and 9TH
or officials have not been called to tes-
tify is not denied.
Justice Voorhis was present before
the hearing began. He expected to go
On the stand. He had turned over all
his bank books to Mr.. Moss and was
anxious to vindicate himself against
the allegations made by John w. Rep
penhagen and Capt. Creeden JUS
tice VoOrhis said he had not been sub
Doenaed. He appeared voluntarily
and if not permitted to testify he said
ne would send a written statement
to the committee.
