hardest blow yet struck at graft in this
CITY. He believes he has succeeded In
doing what he set out to do when he as
,umed his office. That was to strike at
the underpinning Of the system Of police
protection No other police case will
b. tried in 1901. so that Mr.. Philbin's term
practically ended with the verdict of the
Glennon jury on Saturday night. Mr..
philbin says he is perfectly satisfied with
this ending.
In the Police Department Glennon was
next TO Devery.' That was the rank
which every one from patrolman to In
spector gave him. His influence was not
bounded by the limits Of the Tenderloin
precinct where he had been kept for years
while commanders came and went. No one
knew Just how far it did extend, but that
I, was very wide in certain matters every
one conceded. He was recognized as a
sort Of "mahaging director for others who
preferred to hide a little behind the curtain.
The fall Of Diamond and Bissert did not
mean so much to the Police Department
as Glennon's, which has made a semi-panio
in the centres Of police graft.
To say that the men in Glennon's precinct
are on pins and. needles is to put it mildly.

are scared blue. They act as If they ex-
pected to be indicted every time they passed
A disorderly house without closing IT,, al
though it is safe to say no such policy OF
proceeding is contemplated. But neglect
Of duty which has been a trife too small
TO consider. looms very large just now.
No one expects Glennon to -squeal.'
The fact that Devery has trusted him fifteen
years and prospered is taken as a guarantee
Of Glennon's stanchness in that respect.
There is only one thing that has caused
any Of those whose secrets Glennon I'M
doubtedly holds to feel at all shaky and that
is the state Of Glennon's health. He has
been in the hospital more than once Of late
years, He had great difficulty in holding
himself together when the verdict was
announced. he was report ted to be in
little better shape yesterday. No one was
allowed to see him In the rombs. Acting
Warden Flynn gave positive orders that
only a request from the Commissioner
or Deputy commissioner of Correction
should let in a visitor. 1t is an old rule for
sundays, but had fallen into allegiance.
Justice jerome went to his home in Con-
necucut on Saturday night. after he had
heard the news Of Glennon's conviction
at the City Club, where he had waited for il.
He was very much elated over it and pro-
nounced 1t the most telling blow yet de-
livered.
A lot OF people have believed he said,
that there's been a lot of smoke but little
fire TO this police corruption business,
but this will prove that there's been a good
deal of fire."
IL Is his intention to keep right on with
MIR. Phibin's work. According 70 As
sistant District Attorney Train. 10 whom
Justice jerome has already assigned this
work, it is the plan To follow Glennon's
conviction with the trial of Sergt. Shells

officers who, following Whitney's tip, i'm
medlately entered the Mauret woman's
house to warn her, as alleged, OF an i'm
pending Parkhurst raid. The case against
them, MIR. Train said, yesterday was prac-
tcally the same as that against Glennon,
only a little stronger. Not only were they
seen 10 enter the house, but Supt. McClin-
took swore on Glennon's trial that from
the next house.. where he had stationed
himself, he heard Shells and Dwyer tell
the Mauret woman to close up. They will
be put on trial after the holidays, and after
them will come Capt. Cannon, indicted
for failing To close the Webster Hotel.
Capt. herlihy's indictment is now In dis
pute, his lawyer having taken II 20 the
Court OF Appeals on a technical point.
Mr.. Train said yesterday that II any Of
the seventeen Ienderloin men who were
sent to the Mauret woman's house as Glen
non Was and who made the same report
we're indicted il would be the two whom
COMMISSIONS Murphy promoted on Satur-
day TO he detective sergeants after they
had testified for Glennon. They are
Shoenich and Darcy, who were detailed
from Headquarters TO the Tenderloin pre-
ciuct and couldn't get into the Mauret
woman's house. Mr.. Philbin said yes
'eriay that he regarded their promotion
a. intended 10 be a reward for their testi-
mony aud that for that reason they should
certainly be made a mark of.
In summing up the results OF his term as
District Attorney Mr.. Philbn said yester-
dav that he had destroyed two supersti-
tons hat had been built up inside the Police
department. These were the idea that no
one could be convicted for neglect Of
duty and that no policeman could he con-
