shed.
This is the second time CAifery has been

Mr.. Jerome said the only year in which
there had been decided Improvement in
the Police Department was that in which
Gen. Greene was Commissioner. Then
there was an Improvement every day.

night. Even "the Great Theodore the
First when he was Commissioner. went
around and saw that his men were doing
their duties properly But Gen. Bingham's
task was hopeless

against his men. said that police pressure

that he would he iobbed some night and
that the next day there would be a report
Ot cop committing suicide. Reardon
also had begged the District Attorney to
have him sworn in as a deputy sheriff 80
that he might carry a revolver Mr.. Jerome
had refused to do this.
There had been a lot Of talk about De
tective Reardon's living in luxurious apart
ments on his 81. 500 a year salary. The
fact was Reardon paid only s3s a month
for his apartment, and in regard to his we'd
ding breakfast II didn't cost half Of 81 900
and was paid for by his mother-in-law
Mr. Jerome said in conclusion:
IF crooked forces in the department are
70 make " IMPOSE bic 20 use the Ponce
Department to get evidence Of wrongdOing
on the part Of the police then the Police
Department will have to go II alone"
Mr.. Jerome reiterated his high opinion
OF Gen. Bingham a. a man and said that
nothing could come which would break
the friendship between them.
Commissioner Bingham declined last
night to say anything in reply to the state
meat. 1t is expected that the General will
reply to-day and also get very busy with
his case against the accused policemen.
Complaints continue to come into Head
quarters against the raiders. The latest.
il was said yesterday. was that some Of
the Jerome men had broken a mans arms
in raid on an alleged gambling house and
then had threatened him 50 that he did not
disclose his injuries in court.
