tective sergeants Policeman John Roach, who had
been on duty IN the Mayors office: Policeman
Charles s Peabody Of the West Thrty-seventh- st
station and Roundsman NJ l. Dempsey who had
been attached to Deputy Commissioner Devery's
staff. Peabody had been doing duty a precinct
detective Mr. Murphy said he had arranged IL so
they would not get the increased salary. bat would
continue to get what they had received ordinary
policemen.
II has been learned, however, that the three new
detective sergednts the close of last month re-
ceved salaries at the rate OF $1,000 yearly regu
lar salary of a detective sergeant. When the Com
missioner was reminded yesterday OF what he had
said with regard 10 regui iating the salaries Roach
