fering with the work of State Superin-
When Chief Devery was informed of his
Indictment this afternoon he went at once
to the Court of General Sessions. He
Attorney O'Reilly, speaking for District At
torney Gardiner, gave out the following
statement: 1.-The indictment does not
charge an overt act and without the COM
mission of an overt act there could be no
interference. The indictment will not hold
water"
Chief Devery, after giving bail, made the
following statement; when i was sworn In
that | would do my duty and protect the
people of this city. L propose to do my duty
toward the whole people here. 1 do not pro-
pose to be bulldozed. / am going to see
that the peoples rights are protected and
that everyone entitled to vote will be al
lowed to vote. am going to see that the
policemen in my charge are not bulldozed
even by John McCuilagh."
Mr.. McCullagh refused to talk con-
corning the indictment. He said. however,
that he a witness before the grand
jury to-day The Indictment against Chief
Devery charges felony. 1t reads in part:
''That he Devery) did attempt willfully
knowingly and with felonious intent con-
spire TO hinder said John McCullagh
in the performance of his duty as State
superintendent of elections
The differences between Chief OF Police
Devery and State Superintendent of Elec-
tons McCullagh are due to a dispute as
to the right Of the challenged man to swear
in his vote if a State deputy wishes to
arrest him. Mr.. Devery claims that neither
the State deputy nor city policeman
has the right to make an arrest until
after the vote has been cast. McCullagh
holds that il is the purpose of the law
TO prevent the casting of AN illegal bal
lot and that the arrest should be made
even without a vote before the challenged
man votes.
>Chief Devery said to-day that he would
assist Superintendent McCullagh i'm every
way in sending a man to prison who may
be arrested after voting. Chief Devery also
said: I'm going TO see that the right of
every voter is protected, If L can
do it. During the last two years
we have had no trouble, and will
not have any this year" The chief
said later that he would issue instructions
TO the policemen on duty at the polling
places to take the advice of the boards of
inspection in the matter of arresting voters
for whom there were warrants. If the
board thought a man should be allowed
to vote the policemen should permit him
to do so and then arrest him. If the board
decided that the vote should not be cast,
the policeman should make the arrest be-
fore the casting of the ballot.
