defence Of Capt. Dooley a. anything else.
Mr.. MoAdoo sent Doolsy 10 Coney Island TO
clean the place up and Dooley did 10 TO his
satisfaction.
ITO show how important IL was to those
who want 10 thrive by the rich plumber OF
such d place a. Coney Island a. In the summer
avs the former Commissioner, Il need only
say that at one time they went 20 far as to
put I'D a Job on Capt. Dooley by planting q
fake gambling eet establishment and raiding IL
from the outside In hops Of ~discrediting him.
and they also endeavored to trump up other
charges, finding that I was impervious to
any outside influences In the matter.
Mr.. McAdoo never forsook Dooley. He
stood by him TO the bitter end.
when Dooley got through with Corey
Island, says Mr.. McAdoo. there was not a
discrderiy house or @ hous Of designation
| there: there was little lawlessness and
drunkenness. 80 Dooley was moved to the
TenderIoin and the mysterious powers
there, the professional bondsmen. gamblers,
poolroom keepers, swindlers and the law
breaking element generally banded together
AGAINST him. Even the newspapers helped
in this mighty conspiracy, Mr.. McAdoo
saws. and then came the the Bon-Ton raid.
The Bon-Ton was q BLACK and tan pool
room and gambling house. A notorious
convict ran 1t, and one afternoon Dooley
and Inspector Schmittberger raided 1t.
The next day the newspapers agreed mat
the place had been unnecessarily smashed
up and that the negroes found in the place
had been brutally dubbed.
Neither Dooley nor Sc~hmittberger would
talk to the reporters about the raid, butthey
saw for themselves and talked to a number
Of negroes whose faces boreout their stories
Of the clubbings they had. received. re-
porters sent out the next day returned
with the same reports.
The newspaper accounts stirred the
Mayor and he demanded q report, calling
attention especially to the allegations OF
brutality. Mr.. MoAdo o says the Mayor
was red Jagged At any rate a public
hearing was held at Police Headquarters
and Dooley and Schmittberger were white
washed.
Nowhere In his book does Mr.. McAdoo
tell how fccused poljoemen have little diff
follty in producing witnesses to clear them
~ any crime. Nowhere docs he tell what
sometimes b opens to witnesses against the
police, especially II they be OF the class
hat FIRE uented the Bon-Ton.
Mr.. McAdoo says there was no clubbing
or smashing up Of the place. He lays great
stress on the fact that here was no evidence
OF clubbing at the hearing he held on the
matter. Then came renewed war on
Sohmittberger and Dooley, he says. He
stood by them. He o ontinues:
Satisfied that Dooley and sohmittberger
were to remain, despite the shrieks OF the
clrfewers and tho Bon-Ton ~lawbreakers
and bondsmen, gamblers, ~loafers, %swindlers,
and the leaders Of the DEVILS old guard in
general, the logic Of the situation pointed
TO but one solution-a Police Commissioner
who had the audacity to challenge the
very sources Of the Government in the en-
foroement OF the law must go. Surely
no sane, serious and conservative states
man intent only on a business administra-
ton could stand for such a man. q
There are parts OF the last chapter which
sound similar to Mr.. MoAdoo's differences
when he left the department
