WHITNEY WEAKENED
Witness Told of Arrangement He
Had With Capt. GIennon by
Which Certain Houses Were
Protected and Police clipped
Off" When Raids Were Planned

New York, Dec. 2O.-Edgar A. Whit
ney formerly in the employ Of the
Parkhurst Society who made a con-
fession Of dealings" with Wardman
Glennon, now on trial for neglect of
duty, was committed to the Tombs to-
day at the request of District ATTORNEY
Philbin. Whitney had informed As
sistant District Attorney Garvan tina
he would not corroborate his "confes
sion" made by him in so far as it re
lated to Glennon. AS a result he was
taken before Justice Jerome, who com
mitted him to the Tombs in default Of
$4,000 bail.
Later in the afternoon Whitney re-
considered his refusal and went on the
stand. He said ne was formerly in
the employ of the Society For the Pre-
vention Of Crime He said he first
became acquainted with Glennon when
the latter was wardman for Deyery,
then captain of the 22d Precinct. The
witness gave damaging testimony as
to the arrangement made by him with
Glennon for the protection of certain
houses. He told how he had arranged
the matter and how he tipped off,
the police station when q raid was to
be made. On one occasion, he said
he called up police headquarters when
a raid was to be made and was an
swered by Chief Devery.

the guise Of relating conversation with
Glennon, Whitney told Of the operator
at police headquarters refusing to con-
meet him with the Both Street station
and Of his obtaining the connection by
appealing to Chief Devery over the
telephone. Whitney said Glennon gave
him a 800 bill.
Whitney's testimony went into detail
about a number of occurrenceh in con-
nection with the tipping system and
tended to show that Glennon had taken
an active part. Whitney was then ex-
cused. In order to expedite the Glen
non hearing, a night session of the
court was held. During this session
the defense opened and Glennon went

tigation of my office and of every act
of my administration by an unbiased
commission composed of men who are
thoroughly acquainted with the Gus
toms service. If it shall be found by
said commission that my administra-
ton has not been thoroughly in
harmony with the laws Of congress

ford me pleasure to comply with your

There is no reason for accepting this

The reason is that this achievement was
