When the New Ere Begins and the
Ctyfi Service Reform Association Gets
TO work -Wardman Turiey Promoted.
Police Commissioner Murphy further
added to the force In the Detective Bureau
yesterday by promoting nine more police
ment TO be detective sergeants. The men
promoted are Charles F. Manning Of the
East Thirty-hfth street station; Henry
Ebert and Joseph Brown Of the Detective
Bureau, Cornelius j. Sheehan OF High
Bridge; John j. T,irley. Capt. Gannon's
wardman: John d. Coughlin, Capt. Cooney's
wardman; John F. OConnor. william s.
Barlow and William F. Delaney. Col
Murphy has now made sevent y-seven
detective sergeants since he was ap-
pointed.
Turley is the wardman who, 1t was al
legged, tried TO block the way Of the Park
hurst agents who were raiding poolroom
In his precinct and who was accused Of
assault by Agent Mcclellan. He was
brought before Justice Jerome, but re-
fused to testify. Justice Jerome had him
arrested and committed for contempt.
1urey did testify then and was let of.
Turley was transferred to the Head
quarters squad yesterday morning at 8
o'clock and an hour later he was made a
detective sergeant. Capt. Cannon. his
commander has told his friends that he
bames Turley for his troubles II Cannon
hadn't assaulted Agent Mcclellan, no Cept.
Cannon says, he would never have been
indicted.
When Col. Murphy was asked about
Turley's promotion he said: His name
was recommended to me. do not care
-
mended him. because he Is not a public
man. But know Of nothing against Tur-
ley. | didn't even know that he had had
any trouble with Justice Jerome. That
didn't come under my notice; but ! will
make an investigation and find out about
John D. Coughlin has long been Capt.
Cooney's wardman. Col Murphy has made
against Capt. Cooney charges Of neglect
Of duty in failing to close AL Adams's policy
headquarters. As Capt. Cooney's chief
precinct detective i might be supposed
thing about the existence Of Adams's place.
There may be trouble in store for the
seventy-seven detective sergeants Col.
Murphy has made. The Civil Service Re-
form Association will soon take steps to
test the validity Of the promotions on the
ground that Col Murphy has violated the
letter and spirit Of the Civil Service law by
making the promotions without an ex-
animation.
Mulberry Street believes that IL the pro-
motions are proved invalid and unlawful
there will be no end of trouble for certain
men at Police Headquarters. IL is common
gossip that money has been paid for these
promotions.
Here is a list Of the detective sergeants
whose promotions are due to Col. Murphy;
