GAMBLING IN BRoOKLYN?PERIsH THE
THOUGHT,

Deputy Police Commissioner York seemed 10
feel much grieved yesterday over the reports
that gambling was fourishing in Brooklyn.
After having branded the reports as false, he
went on 10 explain how he intended to weed the
gambling dens out. BY way Of backing up his
assertion that there no poolrooms in Brook
lyn Commissioner York showed the reporters a
wonderful document. 1t was report Of Cap
tain White OF the Bergen-st. station specii-
cally denying that there was a poolroom, as
alleged at No. $50 Flatbush-ave. AS If the
signature OF the captain were not sufficient two
patrolmen certified TO the correctness of the re-
port. and a sergeant and roundsman signed as
witnesses to the signatures of the patrolmen
Mr. Yorks statement in regard 10 gambling is
in part as follows:
There is nc open gambling here; I know this
which can depend. The police, too. are doing

suspicion The places in the Eastern District which
were said 20 be poolrooms and gambling dens We're

police protection. II reported that the woman
had been called to 10 statements about police
blackmailng methods. After the conference Justice
Jerome was asked If warrants had been issued. He
said, referring to Captain Donohue: Why doesn't
Commissioner Murphy put this man trial and
see IL the charges can be proved against him? As
a matter Of discipline, IL is necessary 10 investi
gate such charges. II this is guilty he is not
nj man for the force and If he Is innocent II is
a great injustice the to have these charges
hanging over him. No proceeding VIII he taken
here present"
member of the District Attorneys staff when
asked about the alleged charges said: If Com
missioner Murphy should try this man and eXoner-
ate him the District Attorney would not be in any
way embarrassed by that state OF affairs, but
should the District Attorney try this man first and
jury should acquit him. that fact would go
great way toward the determination of trial by
