PARKAURST'S LETTER.
He Denounces Capt. Martens for
Alleged Neglect of Duty.
All Over Corcoran's Resort, Only
Five Doors Away.
Calls 1t the Very Worst OF All I'm
moral Pcst-H Holes.


Not content with bringing Cant.
Frederick w. Martens, of the East
T~hirty-ffth street police station, before
the Board OF Police Commissioners to-
day to answer charges Of alleged neg
lect of duty in failing to enforce the
excise laws. Rev. Dr.. Parkhurst has
stuck another iron in his soul and
given 1t a twist that may prove fatal to
the Captains official existence.
The latest Parkhurst attack is in the
shape of a letter written to the Cap
tain asking him why he doesn't sup
press Joseph Corcoran's saloon. with an
alleged dive annex, on the southwest
corner of Third avenue and Thirty-hfth
street. five doors away from Capt. Mar
tens's station-house and only a block
and a half from DIR. %Parkhurst's resi-
dence.
Capt. Martens received DR.. Park
bursts letter yesterday, but declined to
make Its contents public. With con
siderable anger. which later gave way to
tears. he declared that since Corcoran
had opened his place in November last
he had arrested him three times for vio-
lation Of the Excise law. Twice he was
convicted and once discharged.
The Captain said that Corcorau occu-
pied only the ground floor and that Mrs.
Dempsey. with her niece occun,ed tho
e,Ini o..up'eu .ne
other moor. he declared mat the mouse
was all right. n that he was being
