TRIED TO REACH PIPER.
General Greene Confirms Story Of
Gamblers attempt to Bride.

Speedy confirmation given to the state
ment made on Sunday night by the Rev. Robert
l.. Paddock that q representative. of the gam
bling syndicate had offered official of the
Police Department 100000 to permit gambling
houses to run until January 1. This confirma-
ton came from General Greene, who declared
that the story was true. and that Captain Piper,
Deputy Commissioner Of Police. was the official
to whom the offer had been made by the gam
blers' representative.
Commissioner Greene said:
Some time in May or June John Doe repre-
sented himself the agent of a poolroom syn
dcate. and called Richard Roe at his place
OF business, and said he wanted to see him alone
on very important private matter. Doe and
Roe conferred in corner of the store, and
Does proposition was that If Roe who was a
connection of Captain Piper by marriage. would
get Piper to consent to a quiet running of pool
rooms until January l, he would pay Piper
S3OoOoO and would pay a handsome sum, l
think it was $4,000. to Roe
Roe was indignant and refused to take the
message to Piper, and ordered the man from
his office and has never seen him since.
About ten days later Roe told Captain
Piper of the visit Piper reported it to me and
1 told him to see the District Attorney. and see
If he could have Doe indicted. Mr. Jerome told
Captain Piper that, as there were no witnesses,
II would simply be one mans statement against
another. and an indictment could not be OBJ
tained. There the matter dropped.
The real name of John Doe 1 don't know;
1 have never been able to ascertain it"
who is Mr.. Roe? % asked
II do know the name of Ric.ard Roe, but It
seems to be unnecessary to bring his name into
It." said General Greene.
District Attorney Jerome was In Lakevine
last night and WILL not return until tomorrow.
Assistant District Attorneys Rand and Corrigan
declared they knew nothing about the incident.

to New-York so long by Tammany Hail. The par
tsan issue attempted to be raised by Mr.. McClel-
Ian has failed just as it did two years ago. It is
the same issue that Mr.. Shepard tried to raise:
but New-York knows now when to vote par
