New York senate as being worse than the
Fassett committee. DR.. Parkhurst says:
1.-THE Lexow committee Is not only re-
production Of the Fassett committee, but a
mighty sight worse, for, while the Fasse.t
committee went into our criminal condition
a little and did nothing, the Lexow COM
mittee went a great way, spent eight
months in investigation with the best of
appliances at hand. arrived at the conclu-
sion that our police department was con-
prehensively in a condition of perdition,
went back to Albany, and after having sat
for two and half months, they have only
dickered and log-rolled along the lines of
patronage, concerned for nothing except to
make out Of our depravity down here"
