LONDON POLICE
PRACTICE GRAF 7
British People Excited Over
Recent Disclosures.
CHEAPER THAN IN AMERICA
Inspector Was Satisfied With S.
Week Hush Money" From a
Bookmaker.

LONDON. April 4.-British faith IN the
superiority of the ''incorruptible British
bobby over the venal American
cop" has been rudely shaken By the
disclosures in the trial this week of
suit for SANDER brought by former In
spcctor Mccarthy against David Curtis.
a bookmakcr.
The evidence showed ttat it IS no IN
ccmmen thing for gamblers here to be
biackmailed by the police. but it was
also made plain that protection" costs
much less than it does on the other side
of the Atlantic The English police Off
cial. when he is dishonest. is a much
cheaper man than his American brother.
Desirable Position.
Mccarthy has been twenty-five years
on the force. being promoted until he
became head of the detective depart
inert of the division. That is one of
the most sought-for positions on the
force. because of its opportunities for
Tins" fer looking after weddings
Mccarthy. after a years service in
that place. was summarily dismissed for
taking brides from gamblers and book
makers. 1t had been found that no con-
victions could be obtained against
gambling clubs in his bailiwick and
Scotland Yard had become suspicious. A
raid brought evidence that pushed Nc
Carthy from office.
The inspector brought suit for SANDER
against Curtis, who had lodged informa-
ton against him. The jury acquitted
the bookmaker. And now the public is
asking how many McCarthys remain on
the force? Gambling houses flourish III
London. and bookmakers abound. The
inference is plain.
Bribery Is Common.
On the witness stand Mccarthy sail
bribery was common, but swore he had
never taken a half penny. Curtis said
McCarthy's price for protection aver
aged a ''quid" 800 d week Fancy an
American inspector of police conde-
scending to shut his eyes for such d
paltry sum,
In three months Curtis paid McCarth.
$50. Then Mccarthy threw out strong
hints of an intention to raise his price
But the worst of it was he failed tc
make good Some of Curtis confed-
crates were arrested. Then Curtis told
two of McCarthy's sergeants what TIL
old man had got out of him. Appa-
rently Mccarthy had failed TO divide
with them. which was another mistake
ANYHOW. they carried the story 70 head
