New York. Oct I7.-Henry Farley. "a
walking delegate. who IL waiting trial on
an indictment for perjury. alleged to have
been committed in testimony he gave at
the trial OF Samuel Parks. has made a
startling confession.
Numerous cases are related in his state
mcnt OF walking delegates in this city au3
surrounding towns having successfully
conspired TO eNtort money from contract
orS and builders 10 avoid strikes OF have
them called on The cases are related IN
minute detail.
Farley asserts that in one instance So.
co was procured from " Z. u. Stockes
TO stop interference with the building OF
the AnsOnia Hotel. at Seventy third street
and Broadway.
The confession was made to District At
torney Jerome in the presence Of several
assistants. Its telling occupied many
hours.
Farley Asserts that the perjury with
which he - charged was committed at the
instance Of u prominent lawyer. II con-
sisted In his swearing tina, Parks and he
did not meet at any time on a day on
which the prosecution had asserted that
Parks received 500 from a BrockIyu con-
tractor to avoid a strike Farley admits.
Il Is said. that the money was given in
his presence. first in the form Of a check.
which was refused. and later in cash.
Farley was indicted after the Parks
trial and remained for some weeks In

Of the necessities OF life. He was released
on bail after the return Of Parks from th,.
Kansas City convention. and through an
understanding with the District Attorneys
office his trial on the perjury charge has
been postponed until the next term OF
court.
lie said his confession was given purely
TO relieve his conscience and was only ac-
cepted by the District Attorney in that
spirit and with the distinct understanding
that II did not involve immunity.
The District Attorney is in possession OF
the name OF the attorney I'm the case. to-
gether with the LANES OF all the walking
delegates alleged TO be involved. and dis-
harment proceedings are promised in con-
nection with the other developments.
