DEEGAN, WHO EXAMINED DOCKS.
Had Loose Ideas or Right and WRONG q
Year or Two AgO-Haye They Changed?

Examiner Desgan in tn" Bureau Of Law
and Adjustment, upon whose report the
Finance Department has declared that the
two piers which are alleged 10 have been
let to Gaffney & Murphy's company at
a mere nominal rental brought reason
able" rentals in comparison with the rentals
for other similar piers on the North River,
is James }. DeeRan OF Brooklyn. Dcegan
has long been active in Democratic politics
in the neighboring borough and prior to
his appointment to his present Job by
Comptroller Coler three years ago served
as chief clerk in the Coroners' office in
Brooklyn under both Democratic and
Republican administrations
He was connected with the Coroners'
Office in 1897, when Coroners Edward b.
Coombs and George II. Mason. who were
Republicans. were indicted for holding
and sentenced to nineteen months imprison-
nlent in Sing Sing and fine OF $500,
DeeVan was the most important witness
for the prosecution and gave some sur
prising testimony. He not only Admitted
that he told the accused Coroner thai it
was not necessary TO summon n jury in
every case and that he was entitled to his
fee whether there was a jury or not, but
that he had himself written in the names
of six fake" jurors on an inquisition paper
presented to him.
Supreme Court Justice Josiah I. Marean,
who was then the prosecuting District
Attorney inquired: did it ever occ ur
to you that il was wrong to sign the names
Of six pretended jurors?" Deegan replied
NO, sir, because 1t was a well-known fact
that it had always been done"
DR.. Coombs, who had fine social and
professional reputation previous to this
scandal never turned up IN Brooklyn after
leaving prison. but Mason, his indicted
associate, succeeded in having the indict-
ment against him dismissed and he is now
holding place in the Bureau of Accounts
under William Hepburn Russell and is in
good standing in the Republican organiza-
ton. The Coroners who succeeded Coombs
and Mason declined to reappoint Deegan,
but he had sufficient political pull To land
his present job three years ago while Coler
was at the head Of the Finance Department.
He is at present on vacation.
