something to clear away the terrible
disgrace. The question OF money or po-
sition does not enter into the matter at
all now. He must vindicate himself
While the reporter was there Ward
Man Mallon, one of Doherty's witnesses,
and who has. been suspended pending
perjury, called at the house.
Mrs. Doherty seemed to be well-ac-
Quainted with him He was ushered up
Capt. poherty for nearly an hour. AZ
forwards he said to the reporter:
MaIlon's Statement.
Capt Doherty would not authorize
me to say anything In his behalf, nor
this morning. I have been suspended
for doing something l know absolutely
nothing about. 1t was the biggest sur
the. Police Commissioners regarding my
self. l was not even aware that | was
suspected of any wrongdoing, and my
name has not even been mentioned at
witness for Capt. Doherty and told the
I'VE claimed from the very start"
q majority of the Commissioners were
prejudiced aginst Capt. Doherty; now
we have the absolute proof of 1t. Why
they must have made up their minds mind
standing the evidence. 1t must have
been so. otherwise l cannot see what
regard they could have to their oaths
verdict. I am glad OF 1t. They have
made the way clear for us, and the
General Term will quickly reinstate the
, / have not the slightest doubt about
the result.
Doherty May Tell All.
Just imagine President Martin; hav.
ing had full knowledge of all that
was going on in Capt Doherty's pre-
cinct, finding the man guilty OF allow
ing disorderly houses to exist! Presi-
dent Martin was the head Of the Pc.
lice Department. He was the chief
officer, and to him Capt Doherty re-
ported. Does 1t appear that the Pres
ident called on Supt. Byrnes? No; on
Bottom Of i all la and i President Martin
simply obeyed the orders Of some one
higher in authority.
:" You can make up your mind to- the
Martin was back of all this"
When asked who he referred to Law
yer Grant replied:
Capt. boher t Is pretty Gy we'll well tired to:
day, but his turn will come. lie gave
a little inkling yesterday OF what might
be expected when he turned on President
on their side OF the house.
Call. II n Farce.
Il think the whole trial was the great
est farce ! ever witnessed. Capt. Doherty
has been convicted, but that conviction
will not stand five minutes In court OF
law. But, as l said, 1t was foregone
conclusion. All / am surprised at Is that
they did not record their Judgment with
out leaving their seats. They might have
saved an hour by doing So"
Those who stand near to Supt. Byrnes
believe that If Capt. Doherty had made
his report to his chief. as the rules de-
clare he should have done, and not gone
over his head to President Martin, ne
would still be commanding a precinct.
Supt. Byrnes said that no complaints
would be formulated against any OF the
accused sergeants to-day. He de,
clared that the preliminary work had
already been commenced. but the
charges would necessarily be delayed
until Monday.
All Captains Summoned.
Supt. Byrnes summoned all the cap
tains and number Of sergeants to Head
quarters this morning and held private
Consultations with them all individually.
The import OF the Instructions given
by the Superintendent In not known. as
none of the captains or sergeants would
discuss the matter and the Superinten-
dent refused any information whatever.
One of the captains was asked II the
matter brought out at the trial or capt.
Doherty yesterday concerning the in,er
ference with the superintendent orders
toned by the Superintendent to-day.
