in this afternoons Bulletin" said j,
p. Farley, of the firm of Gill & Farley,
last night, "and | brand his statement
as a tissue of falsehoods.
"On Friday, in open court and in the
presence Of Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth, made certain charges against
the police department. At that time
not a word did Mr.. Chillingworth utter
in denial of these charges. After the
lapse of twenty-four hours he attempts
to answer my charges through a news
paper interview, instead of answering
them in open court at the time the
charges were made. why this delay?
Has he been in conference with inter
ested parties? or did he have to wait
until some one who pulls the string
gave him the cue to act?
Now what we're the charges that
made? stated that on Monday last
we were retained to assist the police
department in this case of conspiracy
and we requested continuance until
Wednesday so that we might thorough
| " familiarize ourselves with the evi-
dence. I charged that several times
on that day and again on Tuesday my
partner, Mr. Gill, and myself, request
ed by telephone and by personal visits.
an interview with the deputy sheriff.
but IL was not until Wednesday morn
ing. Just before the case was called,
that we had five minutes interview
with him.
From the interview which had
with Mr.. Chillingworth | gathered tho
serious nature Of the charge. The case
was postponed until Friday morning,
with promise from Mr.. Chillngworth
that he would send the government
witnesses 70 my Office. That agreement
was made on Thursday morning at IL
o'clock in Chillingworth's Office.
In his published statement he says
that he sent All On and the witnesses
| In the case ~ the Offices of Messrs. Gill
and Farley in the afternoon Of the
same day, referring to Wednesday the
day the case was continued. and fur
ther says that the witnesses waited
around for some time and were noti-
4 fed that they were not wanted and
could leave.
when Mr.. Chillingworth made this
statement about sending witnesses to
our Office he uttered with full knowl-
edge a deliberate falsehood. | make
this statement with full knowledge of
the Importance of the charge which
am making against the deputy sheriff,
One witness and only one came to our
office, and that one was the Chinese
officer All On, and from him / learned
that during the present week secret
meetings OF Cinnamon had been held
to secure perjured testimony to de-
feat the ends Of justice and that the
police department had not lifted Its
hand.
In connection with sending witness
rs to my Office, statement which is an
utter falsehood, he says that he had
gone further than was actually neces'
sary where private counsel had been
retained. lnasmuch as private counsel
is retained to prosecute a case Is the
police department absolved from III
duty to furnish counsel with the evil
dence required to punish lawbreakersj
Or Is II necessary that certain specla
counsel be retained? Here was cast
where, upon Mr.. Chillingworth' Owl
statement to me, bloodshed was threat
ened and upon the statement to me
by the Chinese officer, All On, state
ment made by him to Mr.. Chilling
worth, murder was contemplated, anC
yet no effort was made ON the part Of
the police department to assist in pun
ishing these lawbreakers."
Then with deliberation Mr.. Farley
said: Il mack this charge against thu
police department with a full knowl
edge Of all the facts.
Mr.. Chillingworth has declared ii
his statement that private counsel ne
elected their duty. But be it remem
bered that this charge was made, no
: in open court, but in Il carefully pre-
pared interview, twenty-four hours at
ter | had charged in open court in Mr.
Chlllngworth's presence, neglect o
duty by the police department, charged
as the department is with protecting
the lives and property of all citizens
Why did he not in my presence den!
my charges?
Neglect Of duty? Why, in any oth
er city in the United States the who'll
detective force, aye the whole polio,
force would have been put to work Of
this case to secure evidence to cOnvic
men who, as Deputy Sheriff Chilling
worth and his Chinese officer have said
were conspiring TO commit murder,
conspiracy that would result in blood
shed and probably transfer to thi
city of the bloody fueds that have dis
graCed the Chinese quarters of the cit!
: of San Francisco.
Neglect of duty? That Is the tex
upon which he desires to preach ser
mon. If he is so Jealous in the per
, Torrance Of his duties as head of tn
city police force, why is it that Opel
and notorious gambling games and Chi
nese policy are in full blast under tn
knowledge of the police? Why is !
that Chinese merchants have found tn
policy evil so damaging to business
and to their employees that they hav'
! repeatedly appealed to the police I,
stop the evil? Why is it that their ap
