about the police matter he made the statement
quoted at the beginning of the article He would
not add a single word to IL. The grim manner
in which he said that the Mayor was responsible,
indicated that he would hold the Mayor TO strict
accountability for the administra ton of police
affairs under the system. All day there

away with Devery, but this was sheer specula-
