TO TRAP A CAPTAIN.
Jared FlnEg Says That's What
Parkhurst Wanted Him to Do.

Police Capt. John ]. Donohue, of the
West Twentieth street station, en-
phatically denies that he attempted to
blackmail, and pronounces as unquali-
fiedly false the affidavit to that effect
made by Jared w. Flagg, the real es-
tate man. of A2 West Twenty-third
street.
The Rev. ]. A. d. Wilson, of the
Eighteenth Street Presbyterian Church,
read from the pulpit yesterday an affi.
davit by Mr.. Flagg, in which he stated
that Police Capt. Dononue demanded
from him last week 500 month"; in
return for which he would protect him
in leasing apartments to women for
immoral purposes.
Mr. Flagg was seen by an Evening
World" reporter at his office to-day, and
reiterated his charge against the Police
Captain. He said the demand was made
by the Captain in back room of Ken
ney's restaurant in West Twenty-third
street.
Il refused to give the money" Mr..
Flagg said. land laid the matter before
DIR. Parkhurst. who advised me not to
make 1t public then, but to endeavor
to trap the Captain"
Capt. Donohue acknowledged that he
went to the restaurant with Flagg, but
declares there was nothing said about
money. He had arrested two OF Flagg S
tenants and went to him to notify him
that he must dispossess all tenants OF
a questionable character.
