Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. September %. 1901
Just before the municipal election of 1894.
when Tammany went down with crash
before the fusion onset that landed VIII
liam L. Strong in the mayors chair,
shrewd politician from up the state was
talking with Richard Croker about the out
come of the campaign.
We'll win said Croker, with supreme
confidence. They can't beat Tammany."
They can't beat Tammany," returned
the other. but Tammany can beat itself"
Tammany did beat itself, and may re-
peat the hari-kari performance this year.

sible will be William 5. Devery, deputy

Devery. in Office and talking. Is daily
driving the much-needed votes of decent
democrats from Tammany. But Dcvery,
kicked out and raising the wall Of martyr
dom would ALLEVIATE the support of the
hard-and-faSt Tammany heelers. who in
sist upon the principle that an ally under
fire must not be deserted. Moreover. in his
long career as a policeman, he has learned
things about certain powerful Tammany
men which it is highly undesirable that
anybody else should learn Altogether, 1t
is prickly problem for the boss and his
advisers.
Devery the Focus of the Fight.
Intentionally or otherwise, Deputy Com
missioner Devery is making himself the
center and focal point of the fight On the
police. 1t is not position from which he
would shrink. Devery shrinks from moth
ing. There is much of the ferocity of the
rhinocerous in him. Let any one attack
the police department, even in it's most cor
rupt transactions, and the fury of battle
surges in the breast of the deputy commits
sioner. All reformers are "curs," rattle
snakes" "sneaks." when he is speaking
officially. Unofficially he uses less savory
terms. For the public Devery has the ut
most contempt. His view of the situation
is, and always has been, that it Is the
police against the public The public is q
mob, which the police have to keep in
order and Devery will see that they do it.
He Is the type of brute force, aggressive
ness, and that esprit de corps which would
have a policeman perjure himself in de-
tense Of fellow officer. He is com5ina-
tion of the Fly cop and the tough police
man. His familiar speech is that of the
CRATER" the thief and the thug. when
you get caught with the goods on you. you
don't want to know nothin.'' Is the form
in which he advises a subordinate as to the
best methods of escaping the consequences
of crookedness.
But Deyery. the despiser of public opin-
ion. the fearless champion of the grating
and Sinking policeman. has one wholesome
restraint-his fear of Richard Croker. His
attitude toward the boss Of Tamniany Is
that of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and minatory
to all others. cringingiy affectionate to-
ward its master When Croker gave Dew
| cry the cold shoulder on landing. the big
| chief turned white and skunk away with
dropping shoulders.

of the code reads: THE penalty of death
shall be executed by garrote, upon a scat
fold"
The subject seemed to prey upon the
sheriff's mind all day yesterday. He wore
a preoccupied look, and at times was seen
to give his hands a sharp, twisting motion,
followed by a look of shock and disgust,
as in imagination he heard the neck crack
or listened to the strangled victims dying
struggle for breath. Opinions differ as to
the form of the machine by which the
death penalty was executed In years gone
by. Originally it consisted of a chair with
an upright post for a back. To this was
attached an iron collar, which fitted around
the criminals neck Through the post
passed a screw, the point of which pressed
upon the back of the neck Of the man in
the chair. One turn of the crossbar handle
of this screw forced the point through the
cervical vertibrae of the condemned. and
killed him instantly. This was the machine
used in Cuba Spanish lawyers say that In
the Philippines the apparatus differed in
that the pointed screw and collar were alb
sent. The back post had a broad board
behind the head, through two holes in
which passed ropes. The ends of the ropes
were fastened to a short board narrow
enough to pass under the chin and cover
the throat. The other ends of the ropes
wound round a drum. and when this was
turned the throat piece was drawn back
till the victims wind was shut of and
strangulation followed. If properly worked
the shock killed instantly or rendered the
man unconscious, but II the executloner
faltered slow death by suffocation ensued.
and the struggles of the unfortunate were
horrible to witness and listen to.
: Other provisions Of the present code re-
quire the execution to be public, and stipu-
late that the prisoner shall wear a black
cassock, and shall be conducted 10 the
place of execution in the vehicle used for
that purpose or in cart. The body shall
remain exposed upon the scaffold for four
hours and shall then be delivered 10 the
relatives or friends of the deceased for
burial II they so request. But the inter-
ment cannot be made with pomp.

This opinion I have repeated to a dozen

friendly tip. just in time 1t remained
closed until the proprietor interviewed GER

was told that He had better keep his hands
